Moriera virgata Boiss. in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. ser. 2, 17: 183. 1842.  Aethionema virgatum (Boiss.) Hedge in Rech. f., Fl. Iran. 57: 354. 1968. Type: “[Aucher-Eloy] N. 4165, Ispahan ”. Lectotypus (designated by Al-Shehbaz in MOAZZENI et al., 2018: 262): IRAN: “ Ispahan ”, s.d., Aucher-Eloy 4165 (G-BOIS [G00154011]; isolecto-: BM [BM000883376, BM001254113], G [G00002125, G00002126], K [K000075779], P [P00428152]). Notes. – The species name needs lectotypification because Boissier annotated P00428152 perhaps in 1840 as “ Texiera virgata ”, a name that was never published and almost certainly replaced by Moriera published in 1841. Texiera Jaub. & Spach was published in March 1842. The basionym Moriera virgata was not indexed in Flora Orientalis though listed in the synonymy of the previous entry.
