Abstract
Two new names and one new combination are created in the artificial Cynoglossum montanum group (Boraginaceae – Cynoglosseae): Cynoglossum natolicum (Bornm.) Sutorý and Cynoglossum brandii Sutorý from the Eastern Mediterranean, and Cynoglossum maghrebicum Sutorý from Morocco and Algeria. All taxa are discussed, their lectotypes are designated and their distributions are outlined.
Highlights
In his monograph of the Boraginaceae tribe Cynoglosseae, Brand (1921) distinguished two subspecies of Cynoglossum montanum L.: C. montanum subsp. linnaeanum Brand and C. montanum subsp. extraeuropaeum Brand
The European Cynoglossum montanum subsp. linnaeanum Brand contains the type of the species (Selvi, 2008) and should, according to the current rules, be named C. montanum subsp. montanum, if accepted at this rank
Because Schimper 49 was cited by Brand as one of the original syntypes of Cynoglossum montanum var. alpinum, the element of doubt expressed by Riedl (1985) in his synonymy disappears, and his citation of Schimper 49 as the ‘holotype’ can be regarded as an earlier lectotypification of Brand’s variety than that of Hilliard & Burtt (1986)
Summary
Two new names and one new combination are created in the artificial Cynoglossum montanum group (Boraginaceae – Cynoglosseae): Cynoglossum natolicum (Bornm.) Sutorý and Cynoglossum brandii Sutorý from the Eastern Mediterranean, and Cynoglossum maghrebicum Sutorý from Morocco and Algeria. Their lectotypes are designated and their distributions are outlined. Boraginaceae, Cynoglossum montanum, new combination, new names
