Critical notes on Cruciferae

Abstract

Generic name Mutarda is applied instead of the recently reinstated Rhamphospermum; the latter is lectotypified and synonymized with the prior, and the combinations M. allionii, M. arvensis, M. carinata along with Ceratocnemum × mirabile are validated. Calepina irregularis var. pinnatifida, neotypified Erysimum minus and Tetracme glochidiata are found conspecific with Rorippa barbareifolia, Barbarea bracteosa and Tetracme bucharica, respectively. Lepidium culminicola is recognized as Noccaea rubescens subsp. culminicola, comb. et stat. novi. Klukia Andrz. ex Bess., a synonym of Sisymbrium L., is shown to be validly published in 1822 thus threatening the homonymic name-in-use Klukia Racib. (fossil Schizaeaceae).

Pollen morphology of Matthiola and the related genus Dvorakia (Brassicaceae) in Iran

“…Type I ( Dvorakia alyssifolia type) has the largest pollen type among the four types (with one species): D. alyssifolia . Dvořák (1921–2016) proposed the name Promicrantha in Brassicaceae, however, it was not validly published for the reason of lacking the type indication, either in the original works (Dvořák 1971, 1972) or elsewhere later [Jacquemoud (1988)] (German 2019). This species was transferred from the genus Hesperis to Matthiola by Bornmüller (1936), and D. alyssifolia was transferred from the genus Matthiola to Promicrantha by Dvořák (1972).…”

“…Matthiola has been studied in terms of morphological, palynological, and molecular characteristics (Erdtman 1972; Hedge and Miller 1977; Jonsell 1979; Rollins and Banerjee 1979; Lahham and Al-Eisawi 1987; Gowler 1998; Warwick et al 2007; Jaén-Molina et al 2009; Khosravi et al 2009; Horst et al 2014; Doğan et al 2016; Matamoro-Vidal et al 2016; German 2019; Hendriks et al 2022).
