AL-Shehbaz, Ihsan A. & Barriera, Gabrielle, 2019, Typification of Edmond Boissier’s Cruciferae (Brassicaceae) names enumerated in Flora Orientalis, Boissiera 72, pp. 1-193 : 79

Cochlearia sempervivum Boiss. & Balansa in Boiss., Diagn. Pl. Orient. ser. 2, 5: 28. 1856.

 Noccaea sempervivum (Boiss. & Balansa) Özüdoğru & Al-Shehbaz in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 104: 349. 2019.

Type: “Hab. in regione montanâ superiori montis Masmeneudagh cl. Balansa. Augusto jam fructiferum”.

Holotypus: TURKEY: “Région montagneuse supérieure du Masmeneu Dagh, à 25 lieues au SSO de Césarée ”, 8.VIII.1855, Balansa 439 ( G-BOIS [ G00332260 ]; iso-: BM [ BM000582868 ], G [ G00389743 ], GOET [ GOET001739 ], JE [ JE00001803 , JE00001804 ], K [ K000484388 , K000484389 ], KW [ KW000128007 ], P [ P 02272525 , P 02272526 , P 02272527 , P02272528 ], W [ W18890011478 , W18890076132 ], WAG [ WAG0004283 ]) .

Notes. – The holotype is a collection folder of three sheets, of which one has a handwritten label with the field number 179, another has a printed label with identical information except the exsiccatae number 439 (as in all isotypes), and the third sheet has four rosettes and part of the inflorescence. The G isotype is also a collection folder of three sheets only one of which is labeled.

This species was recently lectotypified by Al-Shehbaz ( ÖZÜDOĞRU & GERMAN, 2018) based on the same G-BOIS duplicate above, but further checking revealed that Boissier based the species description solely on the specimen in his herbarium and, therefore, the above lectotypification was unnecessary.
