Crenularia orbiculata Boiss. in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. ser. 2, 17: 181. 1842.

 Aethionema orbiculatum (Boiss.) Hayek in Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. Beih. 30(1): 472. 1925.

Type: “[Aucher-Eloy] n. 336, Mons Athos ”.

Lectotypus (designated by FRANZÉN,1986: 327): GREECE: “in Mte. Athos ”, s.d., Aucher-Eloy 336 (G-BOIS [G00332541]; isolecto-: G [G00002100, G00002101], K [K000484166], P [P00835113, P00835114]) .

Notes. – The name needed lectotypification because Boissier based the species description on the G-BOIS and G00002100 sheets.

FRANZÉN (1986) indicated that the original collection is in G-BOIS, and that comment is taken as an effective lectotypification because of the existence of an unicate in this herbarium.
