Nomenclatural note. In their work, Bory and Chaubard (Bory & Chaubard 1832, 1838) also mentioned V. peduncularis, a species from the Caucasus, to occur in Greece. Boissier & Reuter (1856) realized the mistake and published V. chaubardii in honor of Chaubard for these Greek plants. Apart from specimens collected by Bory, also those others mentioned byBoissier (1856) are original material. In P, there are two specimens of V. chaubardii from Bory and Chaubard, one is labelled V. amoena Heldr., a synonym of V. peduncularis mentioned by Bory & Chaubard (1832), the other has no name. The name V. amoena was added later. Both specimens are from the herbarium of Chaubard in the herbarium of Timothée Puel. However, I chose to lectotypify the name with one from the herbarium Boissier, clearly labelled with the name V. chaubardii and exact locality and the label lectotypus from 1969.
