AL-Shehbaz, Ihsan A. & Barriera, Gabrielle, 2019, Typification of Edmond Boissier’s Cruciferae (Brassicaceae) names enumerated in Flora Orientalis, Boissiera 72, pp. 1-193 : 45

Strophades linearis Boiss. in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. ser. 2, 17: 83. March 1842 [nom. illeg.].

 Erysimum oleifolium J. Gay, Erysim. Nov.: 6. January 1842.

Type: “Habitat in Persiae maximè australis provinciâ Laristân, ann. 1838, Aprili mense lectum (Auch. exsicc. nº 4169! in herb. Webb.)”.

Holotypus: IRAN: “Laristan”, s.d., Aucher-Eloy 4169 I ( FI; iso-: BM [ BM001254045 ], G [ G00371623 ], G-BOIS [ G00332162 ], K [ K000075599 ], P [ P02272742 , P02272744 ]) .

Notes. – Boissier’s name is illegitimate because it was based on the same type collection of Erysimum oleifolium J. Gay.

GAY (1842) did not examine the two P duplicates of AucherEloy 4169 I prior to the publication of his Erysimum oleifolium . Instead, he based his description on the unicate at FI, which has to be the holotype. Therefore, POLATSCHEK’S (2011: 442) designation of P 02272744 as the lectotype for E. oleifolium was erroneous.

BOISSIER (1849) transferred Strophades linearis to Erysimum and later in Flora Orientalis reduced it to synonymy of Erysimum oleifolium . The type collection of S. linearis was erroneously listed in BOISSIER (1867a, 1888) as Aucher-Eloy 4199 L instead of 4169 I.
