Hesperis armena Boiss. in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. ser. 2, 17: 63. 1842.

Type: “[Aucher-Eloy] N. 123, Olympus Armenus”.

Holotypus: TURKEY: “In Olympus Armeniae”, s.d., AucherEloy 123 (G-BOIS [G00332214]; iso-: BM [BM000522165, BM000522179, BM000946228], E [E00148084], G [G00371702, G00371705, G00371711], K [K000075646, K000075645], P [P00234994, P02272560]) .

Notes. – Dvořák annotated G00371705 in 1972 as the lectotype, but that sheet, which is part of the G general herbarium, was not examined by Boissier, and that designation remained unpublished. However, DVOŘÁK (1973a: 168) listed Aucher-Eloy 123 and 173 as the type collections, but the latter number was never cited by BOISSIER (1842a).

The name does not need typification because Boissier did not examine or annotate any of the 11 duplicates cited above and based the species description only on the unicate in his herbarium.
