Notes. – YILDRIMILI (2008) realized that the type collection of E. smyrnaeum cited by BOISSIER (1856) included flowering and fruiting material collected almost two months apart (flowers on April 26 and fruits on June 23), and he designated the flowering material as the lectotype collection.

The type collection in G-BOIS consists of two sheets in a collection folder, the first sheet consists of flowering plants (lectotype) and the second sheet of fruiting material (syntype).

POLATSCHEK (2011: 461) treated both flowering and fruiting collections as one, as evidenced from his designation of a lectotype based on W0026686, which has a plant in flower on left and another in fruit to the right. Indeed, Polatschek did not discriminate between flowering or fruiting material, as he cited duplicates with flower only, with fruit only, and mixed collection as one thing.
