Notes on Several Argentinean and Chilean Species of Lepidium (Brassicaceae)

Abstract

Lepidium graminifolium is reported for the first time for South America. New first records are given for L. argentinum, L. brevicaule, and L. santacruzense from the Argentinean provinces San Juan, Mendoza, and Chubut, respectively. Coronopus leptocarpus is lectotypified and the status of the types of C. leptocarpus var. microcarpus, L. abrotanifolium var. steinmannii, L. boelckeanum, and L. inclusum are briefly discussed.
