Draba antilibanotica Al-Shehbaz, nom. nov.

Draba antilibanotica Al-Shehbaz, nom. nov. Draba oxycarpa Boiss., Diagn. Pl. Orient. 8: 28. 1849 [nom. illeg.] [non Sommerf.]. Type: “Hab. in cacuminibus Hermonis suprà Rascheya in Antilibano. (Boiss.)”. Holotypus: SYRIA: “Hermon”, V–VII.1846, Boissier s.n. (G-BOIS [G00332433]). Notes. – Several authors (e.g., POST, 1896, 1932; ZOHARY et al., 1980; GREUTER et al., 1986) maintained Boissier’s name and overlooked its earlier homonym. In that, they mostly likely followed SCHULZ (1927) who recognized the illegitimacy of that name but erroneously kept it while reducing the earlier homonym to a variety (var. oxycarpa Th. Fr.) of his highly polymorphic D. alpina L. that encompassed many species of northern Eurasia and North America. The species is highly restricted to the Antilibanon Mountains west of Damascus in the Golan Heights, an area currently administered by Israel.Published as part of AL-Shehbaz, Ihsan A. & Barriera, Gabrielle, 2019, Typification of Edmond Boissier's Cruciferae (Brassicaceae) names enumerated in Flora Orientalis, pp. 1-193 in Boissiera 72 on page 104, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.763043
