On the identity of some endemic SW Asian Cruciferae. I. Thlaspi s. L.

Abstract

Identity of five poorly known SW Asian mustard species is revised. One, Aethionema bourgaei, is proven not to be conspecific with Noccaea oppositifolia and recognized as N. bourgaei, comb. nova. Other four are newly found to be synonymous with what follows them in parentheses: Noccidium tuberculatum (N. hastulatum), Thlaspi inhumile and Th. maassoumii (Noccaea trinervia), and Th. kochianum (Th. huetii). Comments on the type material or typification of some of the discussed taxa are provided where appropriate.
