Orient . Suppl.: 51. 1888 [nom. illeg.].  Alyssum andinum Rupr., Fl. Caucasi : 103. 1869 . Lectotypus : designated by DOROFEYEV (2012: 414) . Notes. – Alyssum ruprechtii is illegitimate because the earlier published A. andinum was listed as its synonym. BOISSIER (1888) apparently did not like the name A. andinum and indicated that it is “nomen absurdum, etenim Andes sunt Alpes Americae nec Orbis veteris”. DOROFEYEV (2012: 414) did not list Alyssum ruprechtii , though he accepted A. andinum and lectotypified it.
