Brassica elongata var. integrifolia Boiss., Fl. Orient. 1: 394. 1867.

Lectotypus (designated here): TURKEY: “Moìssons.- Plaine de Césarée (Cappadoce)”, 1107 m, VI.1856, Balansa 443 ( G-BOIS [ G00332645 ]; isolecto-: G [ G00446301 ], P [ P05325375 , P05325376 ], W [ W18890069385 ]) . Syntypi: IRAN: sine loco, s.d., Aucher-Eloy 219 ( BM [ BM000587780 ], G [ G00446302 ], G-BOIS [ G00332649 ], K [ K000618652 ], P [ P05325380 , P05325381 , P05325382 ]) ; “Champs incultes à Perguis à pies Baibout”, 10.VII.1862, Bourgeau 127 ( G-BOIS [ G00332648 ], P [ P05325364 , P05325365 ]) ; “Inter Teheran et Tabris pr.

= Brassica elongata Ehrh., Beitr. Naturk. 7: 159. 1792.

Notes. – The handwritten label of the lectotype has the elevation as 1107 m and the collection number as Balansa 443, whereas the mimeographed printed labels of the isolectotypes have 1200 m and Balansa 1003, respectively. Similar discrepancies are found in collections of other taxa and, therefore, it is believed that a single collection is meant here.

The syntype Aucher-Eloy 253 was not located.

Boissier in Flora Orientalis recognized the plants he formerly ( BOISSIER, 1842a) identified as B. elongata and later ( BOISSIER, 1849) listed under B. persica , as the new var. integrifolia and cited additional collections besides the pair of Aucher-Eloy numbers (219 and 253) that he listed in his two earlier publications above.

The above duplicate P05325360 of Bunge 93 is a “possible syntype ” because it was collected in 1858.
