Alyssum armenum Boiss., Fl. Orient. 1: 278. 1867.

Type: “Hab. in Armeniâ Turcicâ prope Bayazid (Auch. exs. 4095!), in pascuis alpinis prope Gumuchkhané (Bourg. exs. sub. A. montano)”.

Lectotypus (first step designated by DUDLEY, 1965b: 387; second step designated here): TURKEY: “prope Bayazid”, s.d., Aucher-Eloy 4093 (G-BOIS [G00332389]; isolecto-: BM [BM000582931, BM000582932], G [G00446169], K [K000484935], LE [LE00013015], P [P2272232, P06681534], W [W0067796, W18890077481]) . Syntypus: TURKEY: “Paturages dans la Mt. de Brothacolin ”, 9. VI .1862, Bourgeau 165 (G-BOIS [G00332388]) .

Notes. – Although DUDLEY (1965b) narrowed the lectotypification of the species name from two syntypes to one, he did not complete the process to indicate where the lectotype is housed because he listed BM, G, K and W as lectotypes, and therefore the second step is designated here.

BOISSIER (1867a) listed Aucher-Eloy’s collection number as 4095 instead of 4093, and that mistake was not corrected in BOISSIER (1888).
