Alyssum eriophyllum Boiss. & Hausskn. in Boiss., Fl. Orient. 1: 273. 1867.

 Odontarrhena eriophylla (Boiss. & Hausskn.) Španiel et al. in Pl. Syst. Evol. 301: 2484. 2015.

Type: “Hab. in jugo Tolosdagh montis Amani Syriae bor. (Ky exs! sub A. constellato ), in apricis montis Berytdagh Cataoniae alt. 6000' et ad Bazardjick Owa (Haussk!), in Armeniâ meridionali prope Musch (Ky Suppl. exs. 750!)”.

Lectotypus (first step designated by DUDLEY, 1965b: 398; second step designated here): TURKEY: “Taurus Cataonicus. in apricis Berytdagh”, 6000' [1830 m], 11.VIII.1865, Haussknecht s.n. ( G-BOIS [ G00332358 ]; isolecto-: A [ A00018502 , A00018503 ], BM [ BM000583288 ], GH, JE [ JE00003007 ], K [ K000484898 ], P [ P2272263 ]) . Syntypi: SYRIA: “in Tolos Dagh”, 4000' [1220 m], 4.VII.1862, Kotschy 203 ( G-BOIS [ G00332357 ]) . TURKEY: “Taurus Cataonicus. in apricis Bazardsihik Owa p. Marardh”, 11.VII.1865, Haussknecht s.n. ( G-BOIS [ G00332354 ], JE [ JE00003008 ], W [ W18890055596 ]) ; “Crescit ad urbem Musch”, 4300' [1310 m], 9.IX.1859, Kotschy 750 ( G-BOIS [ G00332356 ]) .

Notes. – Although DUDLEY (1965b) narrowed the number of syntypes cited in the original protologue from four to one, he listed five herbarium acronyms as the lectotype and did not specify any of them. Therefore, a second step lectotypification is completed here.

The lectotype is a collection folder of three sheets, of which one has no label, and the other has an abbreviated label stating “in apricis Beryt dagh 6000' Haussk.”. The two labeled sheets were annotated in October 1961 by Dudley as “ syntype = lectotype ”.

The Kotschy 750 belongs to Odontarrhena filiformis (Nyár.) Španiel et al.
