Chrysochamela elliptica (Boiss.) Boiss., Fl. Orient. 1: 314. 1867.

 Nasturtium ellipticum Boiss. in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. ser. 2, 17: 59. 1842.

Type: “[Aucher-Eloy] N. 4057, Beybazar”.

Holotypus: TURKEY: “Beybasar”, s.d., Aucher-Eloy 4057 (G-BOIS [G00332481]; iso-: BM [BM001254057, BM001254058], G [G00389764, G00389765, G00389766], K [K000725095], LE, P [P002272500, P05348487]) .

Notes. – Boissier based the species description solely on the G-BOIS duplicate.

DOROFEYEV (2003: 55) cited an isosyntype that was not examined in this study. He followed HEDGE (1965: 494) in believing that BOISSIER (1842a) cited two collections in the original description of the species when in fact he cited only Aucher-Eloy 4057. Boissier in Flora Orientalis added anoth-er collection, Balansa s.n. from Bereketly, that Hedge and Dorofeyev erroneously took as a syntype.
