Description

Tamarix karakalensis var. verrucifera Freyn (1903: 1062).

Lectotype (designated here):— TÜRKMENISTAN. (typewritten) “ P. Sintenis: iter transcaspico persicum 1900–1901. Nº 646 a. Tamarix Karakalensis Freyn et Sint. n. sp. var.verrucifera Freyn et Sint. Regio transcaspica; Germab: in paludosis salsis prope pagum Skobelewka. 29. VI. 1900. Determ. J. Freyn. ”; (handwritten by Sintenis, with later annotations by Freyn): “646 a, Tamarix karakalensis β verrucifera n. var. Tamarix verrucifera n. spec.! 17/4 02 J Freyn, Germab: prop. pag. Skobelewka, 29/6-00 ” (LD-1667358! [digital photo]).

Notes:― Freyn (1903: 1062) based the original description of T. karakalensis var. verrucifera on the Sintenis 646a collection. Only two vouchers of this collection (B-100278715 and LD-1667358) have been found among all the studied materials. According to the existing handwriting on the original label, we guess that the voucher at LD was personally checked by Freyn in April 1902. Hence, the specimen LD-1667358 is selected here as lectotype. The voucher B-100278715 must be considered as isolectotype. Further investigation is needed to verify if the var. verrucifera is synonym the nominal variety.

Baum (1966: 33) considered the name of this variety as a nomen illegitimum, on the basis of the occurrence of galls on the exsiccatum. Baum’s nomenclatural interpretation is not correct, and the name T. karakalensis var. verrucifera is legitimate according to the ICN (McNeill et al. 2012).
