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).
