Notes. – DUDLEY (1965b) narrowed the selection of three syntypes in the original publication to one and he listed a G sheet as the lectotype. He annotated in 1961 the G-BOIS sheet as syntype. This sheet, which is taken here as the lectotype, is with a label that carries the species name in Boissier’s handwriting and the rest of the data in Balansa’s handwritten label, including the field number 166.

Labels of the isolectotypes are printed, and they carry the exact collection data as the lectotype but without a collection or field number.
