Ziziphora clinopodioides subsp. brantii (K.Koch) Dirmenci, Celep & Ghaz. View in CoL comb. et stat. nov. ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 ).
Basionym:— Ziziphora brantii Koch (1844: 294) View in CoL .
Type:— TURKEY. Between Erzurum to Northern Iraq, 1840, J. Brant & W. H. F. Strangways s.n. (lectotype K000247831 !; here designated by Dirmenci) .
Flowering stems ascending, to 8 cm tall, green, densely long pilose-hirsute with glandular puberulent and sessile glands. Leaves linear-oblong to elliptic, 6‒10 × 2‒3 mm, sparsely to densely pilose with glandular puberulent and sessile glands on both surfaces, attenuate at base, acute at apex. Capitula subglobose. Calyx 5‒6 mm long, green, minutely hairy or pubescent, or sparsely villose with sessile glands.
Habitat: Unknown.
Distribution:— Turkey.
Examined Specimens: — TURKEY. J. Brant & W.H.F. Strangways s.n. (K000247831!)
In the protologue of Ziziphora brantii Koch (1844: 294) , the type location is given as: “ A viro de botanica merito J. Brant , anglico Erzurum legato in itinere curdico collecta”. The specimen was collected by J. Brant during a journey from Erzurum to Northern Iraq, however, “ Kurdistania , 1840, J. Brant & W. H. F. Strangways ” is written on the label of the specimen. It is highly probable that this sample was collected from within the borders of Turkey, as Brant & Strangways collected many specimens of on the same journey that are cited in the Flora of Turkey.
The herbarium in which the type specimen is stored is not specified in the protologue. Juzepchuk (1954: 280) stated that the type specimen was deposited at B herbarium. However, no type specimen was found in B herbarium in our searches. It is highly likely that the holotype was destroyed. In the K herbarium, there is one sheet of original material that bears a plant identifiable as Ziziphora brantii . We have been unable to trace any further original material in any other herbaria. This specimen in the K herbarium is the only specimen compatible with the protologue and reflects the current application of the name Z. brantii . Therefore, the specimen at K (barcode K000247831) is designated here as the lectotype ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 ).
