Hesperis aucheri Boiss. in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. ser. 2, 17: 66. 1842.

Type: “[Aucher-Eloy] N. 126, Sypilus”.

Lectotypus (first step designated by DVOŘÁK, 1968c: 119; second step designated here): TURKEY: “In Mte. Sypilo”, s.d., Aucher-Eloy 126 ( G-BOIS [ G00332232 ]; isolecto-: FI [FI005661], G [ G00446099 , G00446100 ], K [ K000693670 , K000693671 , K000693681 ], P [ P00234978 , P02272576 , P02272577 ], W [ W18890172300 ]) .

= Hesperis podocarpa Boiss. in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. ser. 2, 17: 65. 1842.

Notes. – The lectotype is a collection folder of two sheets, of which the labeled one has plants with densely hispid fruits, and this sheet was annotated by Dvořák in 1965 as the type of H. aucheri . By contrast, fruit of the unlabeled sheet are not hispid, and they belong to H. pendula .

A second step is needed to designate the plant with hispid fruit as the lectotype.

BOISSIER (1867a) and CULLEN (1965) reduced H. aucheri to synonymy of H. pendula , whereas DVOŘÁK (1968c) recognized it as a subspecies of the latter species. By contrast, DURAN (2012) reduced it to synonymy of H. podocarpa .
