Moriera Boiss.

AL-Shehbaz, Ihsan A. & Barriera, Gabrielle, 2019, Typification of Edmond Boissier’s Cruciferae (Brassicaceae) names enumerated in Flora Orientalis, Boissiera 72, pp. 1-193 : 141

Moriera Boiss. in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. ser. 2, 16: 380. 1841.

Tribe: Aethionemeae Al-Shehbaz et al.

Note. – Although HEDGE (1968) and AL-SHEHBAZ et al. (2006) recognized Moriera as distinct from Aethionema , the two genera were later united ( AL-SHEHBAZ, 2012), and the main difference between them is the spiny habit. It is interesting to note that the spiny habit had evolved at least four times independently within Aethionema , including A. erinaceum (see under Lepidium ) and Aethionema spinosum recognized here (see MOHAMMADIN et al., 2017).
