Note: Jafri (in Ali & Jafri, Fl. Libya 23: 158. 1977) wrongly indicated Kähler material (Herb. Linn. No. 839.26, LINN), received by Linnaeus only in 1757, as “type”, and Meikle (Fl Cyprus 1: 158. 1977) indicated unspecified material in BM as “type” . Neither statement can be accepted as an effective typification.
