E34887D1FFC7416AE6CBFA43FC11FD66.taxon	discussion	REMARKS Bornmüller (1906) indicated the type of Serratula aznavouriana (Klasea aznavouriana) as ‘ Anatolia bor. Prov. Pontus, in monte Tavschan-dagh prope Mersivan [Merzifon], 1904 / 1905, Manissadjian ’. Pertaining to the type specification provided in the protologue, eight duplicates specimens of Manissadjian s. n. were traced (B 100277136, B 100277137, B 100277138, E 00083602, G 00012010, G 00012011, G 00012012, G 00012014). According to McNeill (2014), the existence of a holotype cannot be considered before 1990 unless one particular herbarium was indicated in the protologue (and only one specimen of the gathering was deposited there) or if it was made clear that only a single specimen of the gathering existed. Because there was more than one specimen for this species housed in more than one institution, they are duplicates. Based on Art. 40.2 Note 1 (Turland et al. 2018) these must all be treated as syntypes. The sheet B 100277137 is selected as the lectotype here because it contains leaves, flowers, and capitula that are better developed than in the other duplicates, and the characters of the specimen agree with the protologue.	en	Negaresh, Kazem (2026): Lectotypification of two Turkish endemic taxa of Klasea Cass.

E34887D1FFC7416AE534FCE1FA6BF9BB.taxon	discussion	REMARKS Aznavour (1912) described Serratula bornmuelleri (Klasea bornmuelleri) based on collections of G. Post & B. Post 30 from Dérindeh, but did not designate a holotype nor did mention the name of the herbarium where the specimens were housed. Three specimens of K. bornmuelleri collected by G. Post & B. Post from Dérindeh were found. Based on Art. 40.2, Note 1 (Turland et al. 2018), these must all be treated as syntypes. Of these, the sheet G 00012017 is better preserved and more complete than the other specimens, and best represents the species description given in the protologue; hence, it is designated here as the lectotype.	en	Negaresh, Kazem (2026): Lectotypification of two Turkish endemic taxa of Klasea Cass.
