(lectotype, designated here: G-BOIS [G00788331 image!]). Notes.

In the protologue, Boissier (1867) based the species description on the specimen Kotschy 884 housed at W (“in herb. Mus. Vindob!”). Iranshahr (1992) indicated to have seen this specimen at G. However, after investigation, the specimen Kotschy 884 was found neither at W, nor at WU, nor G. In G-BOIS, we found a Kotschy’s gathering of D.teheranicum with a fragmentary specimen (probably a part of the specimen cited in the protologue) and a label written by Boissier. We designate this specimen as the lectotype.
