Notes.

Contrary to the quotation of Hossain and Davis in their protologue, the type specimen was found neither at W nor at WU (probably destroyed during WWII). At JE, the specimen Sintenis 2969 (JE00018614) does not correspond to type material since it bears the mention "Erzinghan: in declivibus ad Euphratem prop. Sürek” with the date 17 Jul. 1890. In 1913, Schrödinger recombined the varietal rank " Delphinium rigidum " by renaming it as Consolida euphratica . He quoted as synonym D. anthoroideum var. rigidum Freyn & Sint. In order to resolve both names simultaneously, we designate the specimen " Sintenis 2969 " at P as lectotype of D. anthoroideum var. rigidum Freyn & Sint. and C. euphratica Schrödinger .
