Treatment

Nasturtiopsis arabica Boiss., Fl. View in CoL Orient. 1: 237. 1867.

Type: “Hab. in valle Atal Arabiae petreae (Schimp. exs. 192! sub N. coronopifolio ), in deserto Tih Palaestinae contermino (Boiss!). Fl. Aprili”.

Lectotypus (designated here): EGYPT: “In valle Atal Arab. petr.”, 27.III.1835, Schimper 192 ( G-BOIS [ G00332238 ]; isolecto-: BM [ BM001254075 ], E [ E00126655 ], G [ G 00446103 , G 00446104 , G 00446105 ], HBG [ HBG506145 View Materials , HBG506236 View Materials ], K [ K0000725057 , K0000725058 , K0000725059 ], MPU [ MPU022356 View Materials , MPU022357 View Materials ], W [ W0075710 , W0075711 , W18890020447 , W18890167962 , W18890316262 ]) . Syntypus: EGYPT: “ Arabia petraea , désert du Tih”, III.1846, Boissier s.n. ( G-BOIS [ G00791848 ]) .

Notes. – Schimper’s syntype collection is designated as the lectotype, instead of Boissier’s unicate, because it is more complete and represented by many duplicates.

The species was reduced by Greuter & Burdet (in GREUTER & RAUS, 1983) to a subspecies of N. coronopifolia (Desv.) Boiss. , but the first author believes that it should be maintained as distinct because it is geographically and morphologically distinct.
