Matthiola oxyceras var. forcipifera (Boiss.) Boiss., Fl. Orient. 1: 156. 1867.

 Matthiola bicornis var. forcipifera Boiss. in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. ser. 2, 17: 51. 1842.

Type: “[Aucher-Eloy] N. 88, Rhodus”.

Lectotypus (designated here): SYRIA: “ Alep ”, s.d., AucherEloy 83 (G-BOIS [G00332040]; isolecto-: G [G00446005, G00446006, G00446008], K [K000693502], P [P05348416, P05348420]) .

= Matthiola longipetala (Vent.) DC., Syst. Nat. 2: 174. 1821.

Notes. – BOISSIER (1842a) based his description on G00446008, the unicate in G-BOIS, and P05348416 that he annotated, and therefore the name needed lectotypification (see BOISSIER, 1841a).

The collection number and locality were erroneously given in the original description of the variety as “N. 88, Rhodus”, but these were corrected in Flora Orientalis.
