Notes.
–
BOISSIER (1849)
based the species description on the unicate in his herbarium and on P
02272395
that he annotated and, therefore, lectotypification of the name is justified.
Both
Kotschy 493a
and
Kotschy 795
are listed in protologue and on the labels of the
lectotype
and
W0053489
. By contrast, the label of P duplicate has only
Kotschy 493a
. Since the other information on all duplicates of the type collection is identical, it is not possible to determine why Kotschy used both numbers on the
lectotype
and W isolectotype duplicates.
Following its transfer to
Elburzia
Hedge
by
HEDGE (1969)
, the species remained in that genus to the present. However, molecular phylogenetic studies by
ESMAILBEGI et al. (2018)
strongly support its assignment to
Didymophysa
.
