Hesperis pulmonarioides Boiss. in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. ser. 2, 17: 68. 1842.

Type: “[Aucher-Eloy] N. 129, Alep et Nardin”.

Lectotypus (designated by DVOŘÁK, 1966b: 183): SYRIA: “ Alep ”, s.d., Aucher-Eloy 129 (G-BOIS [G00332224]; isolecto-: BM [BM000522194], K [K000693667], P [P00234984, P02272578, P02272579]) .

Notes. – Description of the species was emended by DVOŘÁK (1966b), and his lectotypification of the species is justified because Boissier annotated P 02272578 and thus based his species description on that sheet and the unicate in his herbarium. Dvořák annotated P00234984 as the lectotype but did not cite that in his publications.

FOURNIER (1866) and CULLEN (1965) recognized H. pulmonarioides and confirmed its occurrence in Turkey, though the latter author indicated that the species also grows in the Syrian desert.
