Matthiola farinosa Bunge ex Boiss., Fl. Orient. 1: 150. 1867.

Type: “Hab. in jugo Elbrus Persiae bor. inter Asterabad et Schahrud (Bunge!)”.

Holotypus: IRAN: “In jugo Elbrusensi; inter Astrabad et Schahrud”, 6000'–7000' [1830–2130 m], 17.V.1858, Bunge s.n. (G-BOIS [G00330322]; iso-: B [B100241934], K [K000693491], LE [LE00013098], P [P00731148, P00731149, P00731150, P00731151]) .

Notes. – Of the four isotypes at P, only P00731151 carries the exact date and locality in Bunge’s handwriting “ Matthiola farinosa, m. prope Tasch. 17. mai. 1858”. With that sheet are mounted fragmentary duplicates of P00731148 and P00731149. Except for P00731151, all other duplicates, including the holotype, have printed labels .

Unfortunately the holotype is rather fragmentary with flow-er and fruit fragments in a packet, though it has the original species description in Bunge’s handwriting and was the only material examined by Boissier.
