= Farsetia aegyptia subsp. edgeworthii (Hook. f. & Thomson) Jonsell in Acta Univ. Upsal., Symb. Bot. Upsal. 25(3): 43. 1986.

Notes. – The presence in G-BOIS of two collection numbers by Griffith (1363 and 1495) none of which was listed in the original protologue necessitated lectotypification of the taxon.

JONSELL (1986) did not list Griffith 1363, though he listed both Griffith 1495 and 1497 as syntypes.
