AL-Shehbaz, Ihsan A. & Barriera, Gabrielle, 2019, Typification of Edmond Boissier’s Cruciferae (Brassicaceae) names enumerated in Flora Orientalis, Boissiera 72, pp. 1-193 : 36

Erysimum kurdicum Boiss. & Hausskn. in Boiss., Fl. Orient. Suppl.: 38. 1888.

Type: “Hab. in graminosis montium Schahu et Avroman Kurdistaniae Persicae 5–7000' (Haussk.!)”.

Holotypus: IRAN: “Montes Avroman et Schahu”, 5000'– 7000' [1520 – 2130 m], VII.1867, Haussknecht 78 ( G-BOIS [ G00154045 ]; iso-: B [ B100068694 ], JE [ JE00001844 , JE00001845 ], P [ P00531930 ], W [ W0026700 ]) .

Notes. – Boissier based his description on a specimen in his own herbarium and listed an unnumbered collection of Haussknecht in the protologue.

POLATSCHEK (2011), who designated the W duplicate as the lectotype, did not annotate that collection but may have seen an image of it, and he considered all Haussknecht specimens from Schahu-Avroman as one collection regardless to whether unnumbered ( B, JE [ JE00001845 ], P), Haussknecht 72 ( JE [ JE00001844 ], W [ W0026700 ]), or Haussknecht 78 ( G-BOIS [ G00154045 ]). Because the species description was based only on the G-BOIS specimen, there was no need for lectotypifying the name in the first place .
