Carpoceras cappadocicum Boiss. & Balansa in Boiss., Diagn. Pl. Orient. ser. 2, 6: 19. 1859.

 Noccaea cappadocica (Boiss. & Balansa) Al-Shehbaz in Harvard Pap. Bot. 19: 36. 2014.

Type: “Hab. in regione montanâ superiori montis Dedé dagh Antitauri ad orientem Caesareae cl. Balansa”.

Holotypus: TURKEY: “Région montagneuse supérieure du Dédé-Dagh (l’un des pics de l’anti-Taurus), à 12 lieues à l’ESE du mont-Argée”, 6.VIII.1856, Balansa 438 ( G-BOIS [ G00330550 ]; iso-: G [ G00371948 , G00371952 ], GOET [ GOET002663 ], JE [ JE00004204 ], K [ K000484318 ], P [ P01817536 , P01817537 , P01817538 , P01817539 ], W [ W18890069384 ]) .

Notes. – The isotypes have a printed handwritten label by Balansa with indications as above but with the exsiccatae number 1004.

MEYER (2003b: 82, 83) and AL-SHEHBAZ (2014: 36) recognized the sheet in G-BOIS as the holotype and did not recognize Balansa 1004 as part of the same collection apparently because the field vs exsiccatae number (see above) was cited.

Balansa’s duplicates of all collections carry his field numbers on the specimens sent to Boissier, but his exsiccatae numbers are always different. Meyer annotated G00371948 and W18890069384, which have the exsiccatae number Balansa 1004, as isotypes but apparently he later changed his mind.
