Halácsy based his description of D.tuntasianum on the specimen Tuntas 1245 from the “Plantae exsiccatae Florae Hellenicae” collection. Three Tuntas specimens of D.tuntasianum, each one including several plant individuals, were found at WU: Tuntas 1245, Tuntas 800, and Tuntass.n. Examination of Tuntas 1245 shows two different dates: “23–28 Jun. 1910” (printed) and “10/23 Mai 1911” (handwritten), this later date being the same as the gathering “s.n.”. Therefore, the gathering “1245” is probably a combination of two different collections. We designate it as a lectotype despite the uncertainty regarding its collection date.
