Abstract: Matthiola sinuata var. bracteata Boiss. & Heldr. in Boiss., Diagn. Pl. Orient. 8: 15. 1849. Type: “Hab. in muris castelli Suda in Cretâ. Heldreich legit Marte florif.”. Holotypus: GREECE: “murs des fortifications de Souda dans le golfe de Souda”, 21.III.1846, Heldreich 1342 (G-BOIS [G00332027]); iso-: G [G00446002, G00446003]). = Matthiola sinuata W.T. Aiton, Hort. Kew. ed. 2, 4: 120. 1812. Notes. – Status of this variety is uncertain, and it is somewhat anomalous because it has bracteate racemes the upper bracts of which are borne on the pedicels. The variety was not listed by LIVANIOU-TINIACOU (2002). It may be a variant of M. sinuata (L.) W.T. Aiton, but field and experimental studies are needed to confirm that.<br />Published as part of AL-Shehbaz, Ihsan A. & Barriera, Gabrielle, 2019, Typification of Edmond Boissier's Cruciferae (Brassicaceae) names enumerated in Flora Orientalis, pp. 1-193 in Boissiera 72 on page 18, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.7630433
