55. Delphinium tomentosum Boiss. in Ann. Sci. Nat. Bot. Ser. 2, 16: 365. 1841 [basionym].

≡ Consolida tomentosa (Boiss.) Schrödinger in Abh. K. K. Zool.-Bot. Ges. Wien 4(5): 62. 1909. Type: Syria. “Persia”, 1836, P. M. R. Aucher-Eloy 77 (lectotype, designated here: P [P00201127!] (Fig. 2D)).

Notes.

In his protologue, Boissier cited two gatherings of Aucher-Eloy: "N.76. Alep" and "77. Persia". Chowdhuri et al. (1958. 22: 418) erred in designating as lectotype the gathering Aucher 75 “Syria!” that Boissier (1841) indicated under Delphinium virgatum Poir. (in fact, Aucher 75 corresponds to D. peregrinum L.). No sheet of Aucher 76 bears any annotation from Boissier, whereas P00201127 (Aucher 77) is annotated. We designate this latter specimen as the lectotype. No duplicate was found.
