Malcolmia micrantha Boiss. & Reut. View in CoL in Boiss., Fl. Orient. Suppl.: 45. 1888.

Type: “Hab. in rupestribus montis Buffavento Cypri 1200' (Ky. Suppl. 407!), in graminosis calcareis Mesopotamiae ad Mardin (Haussk.!)”.

Lectotypus (designated by STORK, 1972b: 18): TURKEY: “In grami. calc. c. Mardin ”, IV.1867, Haussknecht 53 ( G-BOIS [ G00332208 ]; isolecto-: BM [ BM000522149 ], BR [ BR0000006993221 ], JE [ JE00001614 ], K [ K000693605 ], W [ W0075693 ]) . Syntypus: CYPRUS: “Crescit in rupestribus montis Buffavento”, 1200' [366 m], 3.IV.1859, Kotschy suppl. 407 ( W [ W0075694 ]) .

= Malcolmia chia (L.) DC. View in CoL , Syst. Nat. 2: 440. 1821.

Notes. – The JE isolectotype was annotated by Dvořák in 1972 as a lectotype, but apparently such lectotypification was never published.

A search in the G-BOIS and Geneva herbaria for Kotschy’s syntype did not materialize and it must be misplaced because STORK (1972b: 18) examined it .

Malcolmia micrantha View in CoL was recognized as a distinct species in the Flora of Turkey by CULLEN (1965: 461), but as critically examined by STORK (1972b), the name is perfectly at home in M. chia .
