Klasea aznavouriana (Bornm.) Greuter & Wagenitz (Fig. 1) Willdenowia 33: 58 (Greuter 2003). — Basionym: Serratula aznavouriana Bornm., Bulletin de l’Herbier Boissier, sér. 2, 6: 233 (Bornmüller 1906). LECTOTYPE. — Türkiye • Anatolia bor. Prov. Pontus, in monte Tavschan-dagh [Tavşan Dağı] prope Mersivan [Merzifon]; 1904/1905; J.J. Manissadjian s.n.; lectotype (designated here): B [B100277137]! (Fig. 1) • same data; isolectotype: B [B100277136, B100277138]!, E [E00083602]!, G [G00012010, G00012011, G00012012, G00012014]!). REMARKS Bornmüller (1906) indicated the type of Serratula aznavouriana (Klasea aznavouriana) as ‘ Anatolia bor. Prov. Pontus, in monte Tavschan-dagh prope Mersivan [Merzifon], 1904/1905, Manissadjian ’. Pertaining to the type specification provided in the protologue, eight duplicates specimens of Manissadjian s.n. were traced (B100277136, B100277137, B100277138, E00083602, G00012010, G00012011, G00012012, G00012014). According to McNeill (2014), the existence of a holotype cannot be considered before 1990 unless one particular herbarium was indicated in the protologue (and only one specimen of the gathering was deposited there) or if it was made clear that only a single specimen of the gathering existed. Because there was more than one specimen for this species housed in more than one institution, they are duplicates. Based on Art. 40.2 Note 1 (Turland et al. 2018) these must all be treated as syntypes. The sheet B100277137 is selected as the lectotype here because it contains leaves, flowers, and capitula that are better developed than in the other duplicates, and the characters of the specimen agree with the protologue.
