Ξ Fibigia suffruticosa (Vent.) Sweet View in CoL

Lectotypus (designated here): IRAN: sine loc., [Bruguière &] Olivier s.n. ( G [ G00341542 ]!; isolecto-: G-DC [ G00204574 , G00204706 ]!, P [ P00747689 ]!).

Notes. – The plant cultivated in Cels’s garden originated from a Michaux collection from Persia. Ventenat in Descriptions (1800: tab. 19) nevertheless wrote that he had obtained the fruits from Olivier from the same locality where Michaux had collected. In Ventenat’s herbarium, no cultivated plant exists. A single collection carries the label: “ Lunaria sp. n. e persia Ded. Olivier”. This collection is here designated as the lectotype with duplicates in G-DC and P. The Michaux collections originating from Persia are here considered as probable elements of original material (G-DC [ G00204704 ], P [ P00747690 ]). Cullen (1965: 356) in his treatment of the genus Fibigia Medik. for Flora of Turkey regarded both Michaux and Olivier collections as syntypes.

A specimen annotated in Ventenat’s hand “ Lunaria suffruticosa H. Cels pl. 19.” and in D. F. K. v. Schlechtendal’s hand “Ventenat. W[illdenow]” (B-W n° 11945) is also avalaible for interpretation of this name.
