Type: “Hab. in monte Kyllene suprâ Trikala (Cl. Orphanides), in Parnassi regione alpinâ (Heldreich!), in rupestribus montis Onii Baeotiae (Heldr!) et probabiliter in multis aliis locis Graeciae cum A. deltoideâ commixta”.

Lectotypus (designated by PHITOS, 1970: 77): GREECE: “In monte Parnasso reg. alpine”, 6.VIII.1852, Heldreich 2654 ( G-BOIS [ G00332271 ]; isolecto-: K [ K000693425 ], W [ W0075682 ], WAG [ WAG0000789 ]) . Syntypi: GREECE: “In rupestribus reg. superioris m. Onii Baeotiae”, 9. V.1851, Heldreich 53 ( G-BOIS [ G00332272 ]) ; “Cyllene, Tricala”, 22.IV.1854, Orphanides 372 ( C [ C10008795 ], HAL [ HAL0084116 ], K [ K000693426 ], WAG [ WAG0000790 ]) ; “Cyllene, Tricala”, 4.

= Aubrieta deltoidea (L.) DC. , Syst. Nat. 2: 294. 1821.

Notes. – The G-BOIS material includes another Heldreich 2654, but that was collected from “submontines Achajae prope Megaspilaeon” on 30 April 1861, six years after the publication of the species.

Several collections by Heldreich (e.g., [ C10008796 ], [ MPU017004 ]) and Orphanides (above) were collected in April, May, June, and August 1854, and their collection dates overlap with the publication date of BOISSIER (1854) which was in May-August of that year. These are recognized here, as on several websites, as syntypes because the exact publication day and month is not yet known.
