Tetracme contorta Boiss., Fl. Orient. 1: 317. 1867.

Type: “Hab. in Affghaniâ ad Choky (Griff!), Belutschiâ ad Gurghina (Stocks exs. 953!)”.

Lectotypus (first step designated by RECHINGER, 1968: 226; second step designated here): AFGHANISTAN: sine loco, 1838, Griffith 1370 (G-BOIS [G00332486]; isolecto-: B [B100277030], G-BOIS [G00332488], K [K000693466], LE [LE00013941], P [P05414105, P05414122], W [W0055935]). Syntypus: PAKISTAN: “Gurghina”, s.d., Stocks 953 (G-BOIS [G00332489], K [K000693467, K000693468]) .

Notes. – A second-step typification is needed to correct the herbarium of the lectotype from W to G-BOIS because the species was based only on the duplicates of the latter herbarium, and the duplicate at W was never examined or annotated by Boissier.

Label of G00332486 has the collection number Griffith 1370 but no locality data, whereas G00332488 has the locality “Choky” but no collection number and Griffith’s journal no. 492. However the other isolectotypes have both the locality and collection number.
