Treatment

Lepidium iberis Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 2: 645. 1753.

"Habitat in Germania, Gallia, Italia, Sicilia secus vias." RCN: 4694.

Lectotype (Rich in Cafferty & Jarvis in Taxon 51: 534. 2002): Herb. Linn. No. 824.19 ( LINN) .

Current name: Lepidium virginicum L. View in CoL ( Brassicaceae ).

Note: This name had been treated as a synonym of L. graminifolium L. (1759) by some authors, e.g. Vasconcellos in Tutin & al., Fl. Europaea 1: 333 (1964), despite L. iberis pre-dating the latter. Rich’s typification avoided an unfortunate change of name, L. iberis becoming a synonym of L. virginicum L. (1753) , rather than an earlier name for the taxon known as L. graminifolium .
