Hesperis persica Boiss. in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. ser. 2, 17: 64. 1842.

Type: “[Aucher-Eloy] N. 4103, Aderbidjan”.

Holotypus: IRAN: “ Aderbidjan”, s.d., Aucher-Eloy 4103 (G-BOIS [G00332235]; iso-: BM [BM000522183], G [G0037 1741, G00446102], K [K0006936754], MO [MO1618790], P [P00234980, P02272572]) .

Notes. – Although DVOŘÁK (1968b: 270) lectotypified the name based on a sheet in G, only the above G-BOIS sheet was used by Boissier to generate the species description. None of the other two G duplicates is from the Candolle’s herbarium and none of the pair at P was annotated by him. Therefore, the name does not need lectotypification.

Dvořák annotated P [P 02272572] in 1967 as the isotype .
