Arabis scapigera Boiss. in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. ser. 2, 17: 54. 1842.

Type: “[Aucher-Eloy] N. 205, Armenia; 4115, Bayazid”.

Lectotypus (designated here): TURKEY: “ Bayaza ”, s.d., Aucher-Eloy 4115 (G-BOIS [G00332089]; isolecto-: BM [BM12054053, BM001250456], G [G00446040, G00446041], K [K000618638], KW [KW000127931], LE [LE00012990], P [P00868489, P05413414], W [W0075704]).

= Draba nuda (Bél.) Al-Shehbaz & M. Koch in Novon 13: 173. 2003.

Notes. – For some reason, Aucher-Eloy 205, which BOISSIER (1842a) cited as a syntype of A. scapigera, was not found in any of the herbaria consulted, and BOISSIER (1867a, 1888) did not list that collection again.

Two Aucher-Eloy 205 duplicates, P00741481 and P00741482, clearly belong to Isatis, and the former was annotated by Boissier as Isatis latisiliqua .

Typification of Draba nuda (as Arabis) remained a mystery for over 160 years until the recent discovery of the holotype (see AL-SHEHBAZ, 2019).
