Current name:
Matthiola sinuata
(L.) R. Br.
(
Brassicaceae
).
Note:
Although cited by some authors as if first published in
Sp. Pl.
, ed. 2, 2: 926 (1763), the name was in fact validated in the
Amoen. Acad
, reprint of
Fl. Monspeliensis
published in 1759, as noted by Stearn (in Geck & Pressler,
Festschr. Claus Nissen
: 637. 1974). The name is therefore validated solely by reference to a pre-Starting Point description from Magnol. As
Magnol's
publication does not have an illustration of this plant, the type choice of 839.28 (LINN) as
"type"
by Jafri is accepted as a neotypification (Art. 9.8).
