Typification

Scutellaria glechomoides Boiss. ex Benth.

in DC. Prodr. 12: 421 (1848).

Type (lectotype, here designated):—IRAN. Prov. Tehran: Tuchal, Yakh lake, Kotschy Pl. Pers. bor. No. 568 (K000906245!; isolectotypes: G00435676!, G00330404!, G00472154!, P00743381!, P00743382!, JE00002622!, W0052111!) (Fig. 1).

Two syntypes collections (Kotschy 568 and Aucher 5158) were cited in Bentham (1848) protologue for S. glechomoides and both are now deposited at K. The sheet Kotschy 568 is selected as lectotype because its leaves, flowers, bracts, and inflorescence are more developed than the other sheet, matching clearly the characters mentioned in the protologue.
