Spinacia oleracea L. subsp. turkestanica (Iljin) Del Guacchio & P.Caputo , comb. nov. et st. nov.

≡ S. turkestanica Iljin , in Keller et al., Weeds USSR [Sorn. Rast. SSSR] 2: 113. 1934 (basion.) (description in Russian: Art. 39.1 of Turland et al., 2018).

Note: ―In several sources (e.g., Uotila, 1997; POWO, 2022), it is stated that the name was first published in 1935. However, the second volume of The weeds of URSS was first printed, with a circulation of 10000 copies, in 1934; a second run of 2500 copies was printed in 1935 (Uotila, pers. comm.). Therefore, the name was validly published by Iljin in 1934.
