Holotypus: TURKEY: “Armenia”, s.d., Aucher-Eloy 155 (G-BOIS [G00330707]; iso-: BM [BM000582604], G [G 0 0 0 0 2 0 8 0, G 0 0 0 0 2 0 8 1, G 0 0 0 0 2 0 8 2], K [K000484180], P [P01817600, P01817601]) .

Notes. – DOROFEYEV (2013) transferred the species to Apterigia solely based on slight morphological similarities.

However, the recognition of the species as Noccaea (AL-SHEHBAZ, 2012) was based on molecular phylogenetic studies that clearly supports its exclusion from Aethionema and its placement in Noccaea, where it was subsequently maintained (AL-SHEHBAZ, 2014).
