AL-Shehbaz, Ihsan A. & Barriera, Gabrielle, 2019, Typification of Edmond Boissier’s Cruciferae (Brassicaceae) names enumerated in Flora Orientalis, Boissiera 72, pp. 1-193 : 32-33

Cheiranthus corinthius Boiss., Diagn. Pl. Orient. ser. 2, 1: 18. 1854.

 Erysimum corinthium (Boiss.) Wettst. in Österr. Bot. Z. 39: 283. 1889.

Type: “Hab. in fissuris rupium verticalium in monte Acrocorintho ubi legi [Boissier] floriferum primo vere 1842”.

Lectotypus (designated by SNOGERUP, 1967: 60): GREECE: “Acrocorinthus”, IV.1842, Boissier s.n. ( G-BOIS [ G 00332114 ]; isolecto-: G-BOIS [ G 00332115 ]) . Syntypus: GREECE: “Acrocorinthi rupes”, III.1842, Boissier s.n. ( G [ G 00371641 , G 00371646 ], GOET [ GOET 002581 ], K [ K 000693772 , K 000693773 ], UPS, W [ W 18890316200 ]) ( Fig. 10 , p. 54) .

Notes. – The lectotype is a collection folder of two sheets the plants of which were collected in April. One sheet was annotated by Snogerup in 1967 as the lectotype, and it has a single plant with a flowering raceme and a fruit from the previous season. The second sheet of the lectotype folder is unlabeled and consists of four flowering branches one with fruit.

The G-BOIS isolectotype is another collection folder with three sheets, of which one is unlabeled, one has the locality name but without the date of collection and the third has both. Both collection folders in G-BOIS were collected in April 1842.

Although all syntypes above, were annotated and/or cited by Snogerup and/or Polatschek as isotypes, they were collected in March 1842 and, therefore, cannot be considered as isolectotypes ( Fig. 10 , p. 54).
