Matthiola odoratissima var. dentata Boiss., Fl. Orient. 1: 149. 1867.

Type: “Hab. in salsis ad Schabanli districtus Khoi prov. Aderbidjan (Szow!)”.

Holotypus: AZERBAIJAN: “In colle salem continente ad pag. Schabanli, Distr. Khoi”, 3.V.1828, Szovits 171 (G-BOIS [G00332031]; iso-: K [K000618623], LE) .

= Matthiola spathulata Conti in Mém. Herb. Boissier 18: 49. 1900.

Notes. – Label of the K sheet states that the locality is “ Armenia ” but has the same collection number 171. However, as in many other cases where Szovits collected in Azerbaijan, which encompassed then both Azerbaijan (the country) and the Iranian province, he used “ Armenia ” in the abbreviated labels of his duplicates.

Lectotypification of the above varietal name by Al-Shehbaz (ZERAATKAR & ASSADI, 2018: 141) was not needed because Boissier in Flora Orientalis based the description on the unicate in his herbarium.
