Cardamine lazica Boiss. & Balansa

AL-Shehbaz, Ihsan A. & Barriera, Gabrielle, 2019, Typification of Edmond Boissier’s Cruciferae (Brassicaceae) names enumerated in Flora Orientalis, Boissiera 72, pp. 1-193 : 24-25

Cardamine lazica Boiss. & Balansa in Boiss., Fl. Orient. Suppl.: 31. 1888.

Type: “Hab. in Ponto littorali ad rivulos prope Rhizé et in regione subalpinâ inter Andon et Djimil 3300' (Bal.!)”.

Lectotypus (designated here): TURKEY: “Fruits: Bords des ruisseaux du Lazistan prés de Rhizé”, c. 100 m, V.1866, Balansa 31 ( G-BOIS [ G00332101 first sheet on the right and second sheet]; isolecto-: G ( G [ G00446020 , G00446021 ], GOET [ GOET002730 ], P [ P00747531 ]) . Syntypus: TURKEY: “ Fleurs : Khan situé entre Andon et Djimil (Lazistan)”, 1836 m, 6.VII.1866, Balansa 31 ( G-BOIS [ G00332101 two flowering plants on first sheet on the left]) ( Fig. 9 , p. 53) .

= Cardamine wiedemanniana Boiss., Fl. Orient. 1: 162. 1867.

Notes. – The lectotype is a collection folder of two sheets both annotated by O. E. Schulz on 31 December 1901. The second sheet has two fruiting plants and no label, and the first sheet has a fruiting plant on the right, two flowering plants on left, and a label carrying the species name in Boissier’s handwriting and the field number 31 ( Fig. 9 , p. 53). The flowering material is recognized here as the syntype, and the fruiting material is designated as the lectotype.

CULLEN (1965: 441) listed both syntypes from Rhize and between Andon and Djimil and without discriminating flowering or fruiting material as the type, though he indicated to have seen them in K. A search of all the holdings at K and JSTOR Global Plants website revealed no Balansa material of the species at K. Therefore, we are not considering Cullen’s action a first step lectotypification and preferring to lectotypify the name based on material examined by Boissier. Furthermore, the listing of such K material by DOROFEYEV (2003: 58) cannot be considered an effective lectotypification (see MCNEILL, 2014; TURLAND et al., 2018: Art. 9, note 6).
