Description

Erysimum griffithianum Boiss., Diagn. Pl. Orient. ser. 2, 1: 28. 1854.

Type: “Hab. in regno Cabulico ad Sinab, Quettah (Griffith Nº 300), in ditione Beloutschistan propè Nichara (Stocks Nº 909)”.

Lectotypus (designated by POLATSCHEK & RECHINGER, 1968: 304): PAKISTAN: “Sinab. Quettah”, s.d., Griffith 300 (G-BOIS [G00330496]; isolecto-: K [K000075638, K000075640]). Syntypus: PAKISTAN: “Nichara. Beloutchistan”, 1851, Stocks 909 (G-BOIS [G00330497], K [K000075637, K000075639]).

Note. – Although the types of both E. griffithii (Hook. f. & Thomson) Jafri and E. griffithianum were collected by Griffith, the two species should not be confused as the former is a suffrutescent perennial with distinct pedicels and is a narrow endemic to Afghanistan, whereas the latter is an annual with subsessile fruits and is common in both Afghanistan and Pakistan (see POLATSCHEK, 2011).
