Lepidium vesicarium Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 2: 643. 1753.

"Habitat in Iberiae, Mediae aridis." RCN: 4678.

Lectotype ( López González in Cafferty & Jarvis in Taxon 51: 535. 2002): [icon] " Lepidium Orientale, Nasturtii folio, caule vesicario " in Buxbaum, Pl. Minus Cognit. Cent. 1: 17, t. 26. 1728.

Current name: Lepidium vesicarium L. ( Brassicaceae ).

Note: Although Hedge (in Hedge & Rechinger, Fl. Iranica 57: 66. 1968) indicated unspecified Tournefort material as type, no Tournefort illustration was cited, and Linnaeus did not have the opportunity to study Tournefort’s specimens. This statement cannot therefore be accepted as a formal typification.
