Notes. – The lectotype is a collection folder of three sheets, of which one is unlabeled, another has a handwritten label by Balansa with the field number 233, and third is barcoded with the mimeographed Balansa label: “ B. Balansa, Pl. d’Orient, 1855. Arabis purpurea Sibth. et Smith ? (Boiss.). Fl. Région alpine du Taurus, au-dessus de Boulgarmaden, août – Fr. Rochers du chateau dominant le défilé des Portes ciliciennes 9 juillet”. Also, a syntype folder in G-BOIS [G003320281] consists of two sheets, both are labeled.

Upon checking in the Supplementum and all available Brassicaceae collections made by Kotschy, none has number 259, and Boissier in Flora Orientalis erroneously took that number for 239. Also, the other syntype of A. aubrietioides is Kotschy 14b, rather than Kotschy 14.
