AL-Shehbaz, Ihsan A. & Barriera, Gabrielle, 2019, Typification of Edmond Boissier’s Cruciferae (Brassicaceae) names enumerated in Flora Orientalis, Boissiera 72, pp. 1-193 : 48

Malcolmia W.T. Aiton, Hort. Kew. ed. 2, 4: 121. 1812

[nom. cons.].

Tribe: Malcolmieae Al-Shehbaz & Warwick.

Notes. – Although BOISSIER (1854) described Strigosella as a distinct, monospecific genus, he reduced it to synonymy of Malcolmia in Flora Orientalis, though both genera are currently maintained.

All floras that covered the areas of Flora Orientalis, Flora Europaea, and floras of North Africa broadly delimited Malcolmia to include five genera currently assigned to the tribes Anastaticeae ( Maresia Pomel and Marcus-Kochia Al-Shehbaz ), Conringieae ( Zuvanda Askerova ), Euclidieae ( Strigosella Boiss. ), and monogeneric Malcolmieae . However, starting with BOTSCHANTZEV (1972), who transferred most species of Malcolmia to Strigosella , and ending with Al-SHEHBAZ et al. (2014), Malcolmia presently includes only six species distributed primarily in the eastern Mediterranean region, especially the Balkan Peninsula.
