Matthiola euboea Boiss. in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. ser. 2, 17: 48. 1842.

Type: “[Aucher-Eloy] N. 89, Eubaea insula”.

Holotypus: GREECE: “Euboea”, 1837, Aucher-Eloy 89 ( G [ G00371848 ]; iso-: P [ P00731152 ]) .

Notes. – Boissier based the description of M. euboea solely on the unicate G00371848 and did not annotate the P duplicate. Therefore, the G specimen ought to be the holotype .

The name was listed by Boissier in Flora Orientalis in the synonymy of the later-published M. damascena (see previous entry) followed by the note “patriâ schedulae errore falsâ”. The species name is perfectly validly published, and the original mistake made by Aucher-Eloy on the locality ( Syria instead of Greece), followed by Boissier in the protologue, do not invalidate M. euboea .

Both MOUTERDE (1970) and POST (1896, 1932) recognized M. damascena , though Post placed M. euboea in its synonymy despite recognizing that the latter name predates the former.
