Lectotypus (first step designated by DUDLEY, 1965b: 401; second step designated here): TURKEY: “Taurus Cataonicus. Karabiyukle, inter Aintab et Marach”, 11.VII.1865, Haussknecht s.n. ( G-BOIS [ G00332329 ]; isolecto-: A [ A00018480 ], JE [ JE00001754 , JE00001755 ], W [ W0055921 , W18890055595 ]) . Syntypi: TURKEY: “Ak-Dagh” , s.d., Aucher-Eloy 266 ( G [ G00446160 , G00446161 ], MPU [ MPU017001 ], P [ P02272252 , P06617191 ]) ; “village de Gulek-Boglas, N Taurus”, 30.

( G-BOIS [ G00332326 ], JE [ JE00001753 ], W [ W0055922 , W18890055607 ]) ; “Plantae Tauri Cilicici”, 1853, Kotschy s.n. ( G-BOIS [ G00332327 ]) .

Notes. – The lectotype is a collection folder of two sheets, of which one has a handwritten label by Boissier that reads “montes, inter Aintab et Marach” but without collector name or collection date.

In his designation of the lectotype collection, DUDLEY (1965b) listed Haussknecht’s collections at G, JE, and W herbaria. That designation is narrowed here to G-BOIS, from which material Boissier based his description in Flora Orientalis. There is no duplicate of this collection in the other Geneva herbaria .

One of Haussknecht’s collections from Mt. Marash in Turkey, P06617297 , was annotated by Boissier as “ Alyssum confertum Boiss. et Haussk. ”, but that species epithet was published by Boissier in 1842, or 25 years prior to the publication of A. condensatum . The collection is missing the exact locality and day and month, and it may be part of the type collection of the latter species .
