Berteroa graeca Boiss. & Heldr.

AL-Shehbaz, Ihsan A. & Barriera, Gabrielle, 2019, Typification of Edmond Boissier’s Cruciferae (Brassicaceae) names enumerated in Flora Orientalis, Boissiera 72, pp. 1-193 : 102

Berteroa graeca Boiss. & Heldr. in Boiss., Diagn. Pl. Orient. ser. 2, 1: 35. 1854.

Type: “Hab. in Arcadiâ occidentali circâ Andritzena, propè Pheneon et Kalavryta Arcadiae borealis (Heldr.) propè Klakines Peloponnesi (Orphanid. Fl. Graeca exs. Nº 167)”.

Lectotypus (designated here): GREECE: “in Peloponneso prope Klakines (Vulg)”, 3000' [910 m], 13–25.VI.1852, Orphanides 167 ( G-BOIS [ G00332425 ]; isolecto-: ATHU [n.v.], BM [ BM000750191 , BM001254085 ], K [ K000697064 ], KW [ KW000127911 ], LD [ LD1047942 ], P [ P04626677 , P04717656 ], W [ W0075609 A]) . Syntypus: GREECE: “in arvis Aradia pr. Kalavryta”, VII.1848, Heldreich s.n. ( BM [ BM001254084 ]) .

= Berteroa obliqua (Sm.) DC. , Syst. Nat. 2: 292. 1821.

Notes. – TAN (2002: 226) listed one of the syntypes in the original protologue and indicated that ATHU, G-BOIS, and LD are the lectotype. Instead of 1852, she erroneously indicated that the year of collection was 1870, or 18 years after the publication of the species. However, despite that her action was inadequate to qualify for lectotypification because she did not use the phrase “designated here” or its equivalent (see TURLAND et al., 2018: Art. 9, note 6; MCNEILL, 2014).

Boissier in Flora Orientalis reduced B. graeca to synonymy of B. mutabilis (Vent.) DC. No material of the Heldreich syntype above was located in the G or P herbaria.
