Notes.
– There is a single sheet in G-BOIS, and it has three labels handwritten by Boissier with minimal information, including just
Syria
and
Kotschy s.n.
(two labels) and one with no.
85,
just as in the printed label distributed to the various herbaria above.
The mentioning of Manschura in the original protologue and printed label supports treating the sheet as one collection with highly abbreviated information, just as in many of Boissier’s own collections or material from other collectors.
The original publication gives the altitude as 6500' instead of 6000' in the printed label, and that was most likely a typographical error.
Boissier in
Flora Orientalis
cited under the new name
Malcolmia conringioides
the
type
collection of
Conringia nana
Boiss.
(Kotschy 85),
among two others as: “Hab. in cultis Damasci et in Antilibano (Gaill!), in dumosis vallis Mandschura Antilibani (Ky exs. 85!), in
Libano
ad Zachle (Labill!)”, and thereby he avoided creating a later homonym of
Malcolmia nana
(DC.) Boiss.
Therefore, the
type
of both taxa is the same.
