Typification of Cruciferae Juss. taxa described by A. G. Schrenk

Abstract

Results of a revision of original material on the Cruciferae Juss. taxa described on the base of A. G. Schrenk’s gatherings of 1840-1843 are presented. Among the taxa under study, 14 species and 1 variety were described by Schrenk, 2 species by F. E. L. Fischer and C. A. Meyer, and 1 species was intended by Schrenk and described by E. R. Trautvetter. Data on the type specimens of all treated taxa deposited in LE, P, M, WU, MW, TK, HAL, AA (completely), B and W (partly) are given, the type category of each specimen being specified. Lectotypes are designated (all based on the material of LE) for 11 species and 1 variety; for other 4 species, a second-step typification is made, and lectotypes are restricted to a single specimen. Currently accepted names (if different from original ones) are provided along with the most widely applied synonyms. The name Odontarrhena hirta Schrenk is reduced to synonymy of Alyssum obovatum (C. A. Mey.) Turcz. Notes are given where needed.
