Abstract
AbstractThe original circumscriptions and nomenclatural history of the homonyms Salsola sedoides L. 1759 and Salsola sedoides Pall. 1771 are discussed, and lectotypes or neotypes are designated for both names and their synonyms. Two species were involved in the protologue of Salsola sedoides L.; its earliest history, the latest material and the proposed lectotype correspond to its current interpretation as Suaeda maritima from the North Sea coasts, whereas its validating statement is referable to Suaeda splendens from the Mediterranean. The unused name Salsola cinerea Waldst. & Kit. is the earliest legitimate name for the later homonym Salsola sedoides Pall. To avoid creating a new transfer of this epithet to Sedobassia, the name Salsola sedoides Pall. is proposed for conservation against its earlier homonym S. sedoides L.
