Nomenclature and Typification of the Goat Grass <i>Aegilops tauschii</i> Coss. (Poaceae: Triticeae): A Key Species for the Secondary Gene Pool of Common Wheat <i>Triticum aestivum</i>
Background: The typification of the name <i>Aegilops tauschii</i> Coss. (Poaceae: Triticeae) is revisited. Several authors cited a gathering from Iberia as the locality and Buxbaum as the collector of as the type, but no actual specimens from this collection have been located, nor is the...

| description | Background: The typification of the name <i>Aegilops tauschii</i> Coss. (Poaceae: Triticeae) is revisited. Several authors cited a gathering from Iberia as the locality and Buxbaum as the collector of as the type, but no actual specimens from this collection have been located, nor is there evidence that such a gathering existed. In 1994, van Slageren designated as lectotype an illustration from Buxbaum’s <i>Plantarum minus cognitarum centuria I</i> (1728), which, although original material, is not the only element cited in the protologue. The protologue mentions several gatherings, some of which are represented by identifiable herbarium specimens qualifying as syntypes. Methods: This work is based on the analysis of the protologue of <i>Aegilops tauschii</i> and the study of specimens conserved in several herbaria. According to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (<i>ICN</i>, Shenzhen Code 2018), an illustration does not hold the same nomenclatural weight as preserved specimens cited in the protologue. Therefore, van Slageren’s lectotypification does not comply with Art. 9.12 of the <i>ICN</i> and must be superseded. Results: The original material includes multiple elements, and a new lectotype is designated from a specimen at PRC from Azerbaijan. |
