Alyssum damascenum Boiss. & Gaill. View in CoL in Boiss., Diagn. Pl. Orient. ser. 2, 6: 18. 1859.

Type: “Hab. in cultis inter Merrè et Damascum cl. Dr Gaillardot. Fl. Martio”.

Holotypus: SYRIA: “Dernier jardin à Ganche de la route de Merrè à Damas”, 18.III.1846, Gaillardot 857ter ( G-BOIS [ G00332410 ]; iso-: A [ A00019489 ]) .

Notes. – DUDLEY (1965a: 203) listed as an isotype a fragmentary material at A that he took from G-BOIS. He mistyped and cited the collection number and year as 817 and 1847, respectively. There are no duplicates of the type collection elsewhere, and Boissier based his species description solely on the unicate in his herbarium.

Furthermore, Dudley’s 1967 annotation of CAS0026905 as an isotype is erroneous because it was collected on a different day, month, year, and locality despite having the collection number Gaillardot 857bis.
