Type: “[Aucher-Eloy] N. 321 et 4141, montes ad Ispahan ”.

Lectotypus (first step designated by DOROFEYEV, 2008: 1966; second step designated here): IRAN: “ Ispahan ”, s.d., AucherEloy 4141 (G-BOIS [G00150396]; isolecto-: G [G00096406, G00096407], K [K000642711], KW [KW000127998], LE, P [P05444613, P05444614, P05444616, P05444644, P05444645, P05444646], W [W0024182]) . Syntypus: IRAN: “in Mte. ad Ispahan ”, s.d., Aucher-Eloy 321 (G [G00096408, G00446262], G-BOIS [G00150397], K [K000642712], P [P05444618, P05444647]) .

Notes. – DOROFEYEV’S (2008: 1966) lectotypification based on the LE duplicate is considered partial and corrected here by designating the G-BOIS as the lectotype because Boissier based the species description solely on the two specimens in his herbarium and did not examine or annotate any of the other duplicates cited above.

HEDGE (1968: 70) listed two collections, Buhse’s from N Iran and Griffith’s from Afghanistan, as syntypes, but these were listed in BOISSIER (1867a), not in the original publication (BOISSIER, 1842b).
