Treatment

Nasturtium niloticum Boiss., Diagn. Pl. View in CoL Orient. 8: 19. 1849.

Type: “Hab. in humo limoso ad margines praeruptos Nili in Aegypto superiori (Boiss.!), in Nubiâ propè Chartum Kotschy pl. exs. Nº 324 sub N. palustri ”.

Lectotypus (first step designated by JONSELL, 1982: 56; second step designated here): SUDAN: “Ad ripas nili caerulei prope Chartum ”, 4.III.1840, Kotschy 324 ( G [ G00446042 ]; isolecto-: BM, BR [ BR0000008886910 ], G [ G00446043 , G00446044 ], HAL [ HAL0026657 View Materials ], HBG [ HBG506141 View Materials ], HOH [ HOH009372 View Materials ], JE [ JE00003848 ], P [ P04719362 ], REG [ REG000606 View Materials ], STU [ STU000335 View Materials ], TUB [ TUB000547 View Materials , TUB000548 View Materials , TUB000552 View Materials ], UPS, W [ W18890321737 , W0036024 ]) . Syntypus: EGYPT: “Superior ad ripas praeruptus Nili”, I–III.1846. Boissier s.n. ( G [ G00446045 , G00446046 ], G-BOIS [ G00332090 ]) .

= Rorippa micrantha (Roth) Jonsell View in CoL in Svensk Bot. Tidskr. 68: 384. 1974.

Notes. – The area of the designated lectotype falls outside the Flora Orientalis region, and that is why the specimen is housed in G rather than G-BOIS. Kotschy 324, instead of Boissier s.n., is designated as lectotype because it has fully mature fruit with well-developed (vs undeveloped) seeds, both of which structures are essential in the determination of Rorippa View in CoL (and Nasturtium View in CoL ) species.

There are three duplicates of the lectotype gathering in the Geneva herbaria, and JONSELL (1982) did not indicate which one is the “type” nor did he annotate any of them. For this reason, a second step designation is done here.
