Abstract. The Malcolmia s.l. complex was so broadly delimited that it included at least ive genera in four tribes. As delimited herein,
it includes Malcolmia s.str. (12 taxa, 6 spp.) of the tribe Malcolmieae, Maresia (5 spp.) and the new genus Marcus-Kochia (4 spp.) of
the tribe Anastaticeae, Strigosella (23 spp.) of the tribe Euclidieae, and Zuvanda (3 spp.) of the tribe Conringieae. The new combinations
M.-K. arenaria, M.-K. littorea, M.-K. ramosissima, and M.-K. triloba are proposed. Detailed generic descriptions, key to genera and
their species, and data on type collections of all recognized taxa are provided. Second-step lectotypes are designated keys for Strigosella
hispida, S. scorpioides, and Zuvanda meyeri. All taxa previously placed in Malcolmia are listed, and their current tribal, generic, and
species assignments are given.
Keywords: Brassicaceae, Cruciferae, Malcolmia, Marcus-Kochia, Maresia, Strigosella, Zuvanda
The limits of Malcolmia W.T.Aiton (Brassicaceae or
Cruciferae) have luctuated a great deal during the past two
centuries, starting with early works (e.g., de Candolle, 1821;
Boissier, 1867; Schulz, 1936; Vassilczenko, 1939) and
ending with more recent accounts (e.g., Greuter et al., 1986;
Rich & Foster, 1992; Jalas & Suominen, 1994; Zhou et al.,
2001; Georgiou, 2002). The genus was so broadly delimited
by Boissier (1867) and Greuter et al. (1986) that it included
species currently assigned by Al-Shehbaz (2012) and herein
to seven genera: Maresia Pomel, Neotorularia Hedge &
J.Léonard, Sisymbrium L., Strigosella Boiss., and Zuvanda
(F.Dvořák) Askerova, as well as Malcolmia s.str. and the
new genus Marcus-Kochia described below.
Ball (1963) was the irst to recognize the heterogeneity
of Malcolmia s.l., and he divided this complex into four
informal groups readily distinguished morphologically,
geographically, and cytologically. Dvořák (1970a, 1970b,
1972) conducted detailed morphological studies on the
complex and basically reached conclusions comparable to
Ball’s. He recognized the Aegean group as Malcolmia s.str.,
the western and northern Mediterranean group as Maresia
subgen. Maresia, the Southwest Asian members as Maresia
subgen. Zuvanda Dvořák, and Southwest-Central Asian
species as Fedtschenkoa Regel. Although Dvořák placed a
greater emphasis on petal venation and the cellular patterns
of the fruit septum, modern students of the family put much
less weight on these characters because they can be subject
to considerable variation. However, his critical observations
on trichomes and stigma morphology, coupled with Ball’s
earlier work, helped immensely in establishing the modern
generic boundaries in this complex. Botschantzev (1972)
reduced Fedtschenkoa to synonymy of Strigosella, and
Askerova (1985) raised subgen. Zuvanda to the generic rank.
By contrast, Stork (1971, 1972a–c) focused exclusively on
the Aegean species and kept all of them in Malcolmia s.str.
The present study aims to clarify the generic boundaries
and tribal assignments of the four groups variously assigned
to Malcolmia, provides detailed generic description for
each, enumerates the species currently assigned to them,
and provides information on the types of all recognized
taxa. It is based on the synthesis of published cytological,
morphological, geographical, and molecular data.

of organ, sometimes mixed with cruciform (rarely 3-id)
trichomes with shorter or equal lateral rays. Although the
group is centered in the Balkan Peninsula and Aegean
Islands, individual species reach as far west as Italy (Stork,
1972d) and eastwards into all eastern Mediterranean
countries (Cullen, 1965; Mouterde, 1970; Zohary, 1966).
Zuvanda includes three species centered in the Caucasus,
Turkey, eastern Mediterranean countries, N Iraq, and NW
Iran (Askerova, 1985). They too have strongly decurrent
and connivent stigmas but are readily distinguished from all
other members of the Malcolmia s.l. complex by being completely glabrous or only minutely puberulent with simple
papillae, as well as by having auriculate leaves. Unfortunately, no Zuvanda species has been studied cytologically.
The third group consists of 23 species recognized by
Dvořák (1970a) as Fedtschenkoa and later by botschantzev
(1972) as Strigosella. The genus is centered primarily in
Central and Southwest Asia, with the distribution of some
extending into eastern and southwestern Europe and northern
Africa. Strigosella species are diploids or tetraploids based
on x = 7, and they have a mixture of simple and distinctly
stalked dendritic or forked, usually rigid trichomes, nonauriculate cauline leaves, non-saccate calyx, and decurrent
and connivent stigmas.
VOL. 19, NO. 1
The fourth group consists of ive Mediterranean species
of Maresia, and they correspond to Dvořák’s (1970b)
Maresia sect. Maresia and sect. Dibothrium O.E.Schulz. All
typically have entire or rarely obscurely lobed (but never
connivent or decurrent) stigmas; soft, short-stalked, manybranched stellate trichomes; usually non-saccate calyx;
non-auriculate cauline leaves, and (in one species) a base
chromosome numbers of n = 13 or 14. Maresia (Anastaticeae)
is often confused with Neotorularia (Euclidieae) because
both have entire stigmas and branched trichomes. However,
it differs from the latter by the lack of simple trichomes and
by having stellate trichomes, slender pedicels, veined fruit
septum, and straight fruits. By contrast, Neotorularia has
a mixture of simple and forked trichomes, stout fruiting
pedicels, veinless fruit septum, and often tortuose fruits.
The inal group of four species, recognized hereafter as
the genus Marcus-Kochia, corresponds to Dvořák’s (1970b)
Maresia sects. Ballia F.Dvořák, Dibothriopsis F.Dvořák,
and Malcolmiopsis F.Dvořák, and they are restricted
to Northwest Africa and Southwest Europe. They have
strongly decurrent and connivent stigmas, minutely stalked,
soft, 8–16-branched stellate trichomes, non-saccate calyx,
non-auriculate cauline leaves, and three of the six species
counted for chromosome numbers have n = 10 or 12.

Marcus-Kochia resembles Maresia in having soft, shortstalked stellate trichomes with 8-16 ultimate branches, but it
is readily distinguished by the conical (vs. capitate), strongly
and decurrently lobed connivent (vs. entire or obscurely
lobed but neither decurrent nor connivent) stigmas, usually
smooth (vs. usually torulose) fruits, and stout (vs. slender)
fruiting pedicels as thick as or thicker (vs. narrower) than
the fruit base.

Malcolmia lacera (L.) DC. (Syst. Nat. 2: 445. 1821)
was based on Cheiranthus lacerus L. (Sp. Pl. 2: 662.
1753), the type of which [“Habitat in Lusitania.” RCN:

in Hermann, Parad. Bat. 193. 1698. Epitype designated

abundant in sandy places by the Douro, about Pinhão, 10
Jun 1889, R. P. Murray s.n. (BM-000576294)] was shown
by López González (1986) to be based on a Raphanus L.
material, not Malcolmia. Unfortunately, the last reference
was overlooked by Ball (see above) and by Jarvis (2007).
Therefore, the epitype above was erroneously designated,
and a specimen of Raphanus (most likely R. raphanistrum
L.) should have been selected for C. lacerus. Obviously, the
homotypic synonyms Hesperis lacera (L.) L. (Syst. Veg. ed.
13: 501. 1774), Maresia lacera (L.) F.Dvořák (Spisy Prirod.
Fak. Univ. J. E. Purkyně v Brně 1969(No. 501): 88. 1969),
and Wilckia lacera (L.) Samp. (Herb. Portug. 56. 1913)
should be synonymized with that Raphanus. Therefore,
all records of M. lacera from the iberian Peninsula and
northwestern Africa (e.g., Maire, 1976; Grueter et al.
(1986); Ball & Akeroyd, 1993; Ouyahya, 1999), as well as
the epitype above, are based on plants of M. triloba.
Jalas & Suominen (1994) have correctly reduced all
infraspeciic taxa of M. lacera in the synomymy of M.
triloba. by contrast, Nogueira (1993) tentatively recognized
2014
AL-SHEHBAZ ET AL., THE MALCOLMIA S.L. SEGREGATES
three subspecies with highly overlapping and artiicially
delimited boundaries. The species is extremely variable in
the division of leaves, density of indumentum, lower size,
and style and stigma length. However, without thorough,
population-based morphological and molecular studies on
M. triloba, we prefer not to recognize any infraspeciic taxa.

from all genera of the Malcolmia s.l. complex, Maresia is
readily distinguished by its capitate, entire or rarely 2-lobed
stigmas with the lobes never decurrent or connivent. In its
indumentum, it resembles Marcus-Kochia, but it is further
distinguished by having 14–32 (vs. 30–92) ovules/seeds by
ovary/fruit and slender (vs. stout) fruiting pedicels narrower
than (vs. as thick as or wider than) the fruit base.

HARVARD PAPERS IN BOTANY
Almost all consulted works attribute the authorship of
the basionym Hesperis pygmaea to Delile (Fl. Aeg. Illust.
19, 596, tab. 63. 1813), but that work did not include any

Therefore, Delile’s name was invalid (see also Staleu &
Cowan (1976) and IPNI) and de Candolle (1821) should be
credited of its authorship.

Distribution: Species other than Strigosella africana
are distributed primarily in central and southwestern Asia.
in addition, S. africana is also native to North Africa
(Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia) and southern
Europe (Greece, Spain, Sicily, Ukraine, and SW Russia). It
is naturalized elsewhere in Europe (see Jalas & Suominen,
1994), North America and South America.
Botschantzev (1972) divided Strigosella into three
sections based on Dvořák’s (1970a) treatment of the genus
as Fedtschenkoa. However, without a thorough molecular
study of the entire genus, any infrageneric classiication
based strictly on morphology may well be artiicial.

Distribution: Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan,

The irst unintended attempt of lectotypiication was
done by Jafri (1956: 111) by citing: “Type: Turkestan, Kisil
Kum, Lehmann 94 (G – not seen).” Botschantzev (1972)
did not take that typiication into consideration and listed all
three collections mentioned in the protologue as syntypes,
including the gathering of 30 April 1842 from Kyzyl-Kum.
However, we did not ind the relevant material at G, and it
appears that Jafri’s information was based on his assumption
that boissier studied this collection at G but apparently it was
most likely done in Bunge’s herbarium at P. Furthermore,
according to the enumeration in Bunge (1847), number 94
refers to Malcolmia intermedia C.A.Mey. [now Strigosella
intermedia (C.A.Mey.) Botsch.], whereas D. circinatus was
numbered 99 on labels of the lectotype and all syntypes at
LE (see German et al., 2006). Hence, from any viewpoint,
Jafri’s typiication cannot be accepted.
The lectotype consists of two fruiting plants collected
on 9 April 1842, as stated in the protologue, with which
are mounted plants that represent one of the two other
gatherings (Kyzyl-Kum, 30 April; and between KuwanDarya and Syr-Darya, 4 May). The isolectotype represented
by a fruiting plant has the label “In deserto Kisilkum 30
April 42” which is deinitely a result of confusion and in
fact this label belongs to one of the syntypes (German et
al., 2006).

Zhou et al. (2001) have shown that previously reported
distribution in three provinces of China can not be conirmed
and conined it to Xizang (Tibet). German & Chen (2009)
demonstrated that relevant gatherings belong to Xinjiang
and occurrence of S. hispida in China is restricted to the
western part of this province.
By citing the collection at LE, Botschantzev (1972) made
a irst-step lectotypiication, but he did not specify (either in
the paper or in herbarium) between three duplicates stored
at LE. The specimen supplied with the author’s analytical
table is designated here as a second-step lectotype.

Distribution: Iran, Turkmenistan.
The occurrence of the species in Iran needs veriication
because Botschantzev (1972) listed it from that country,
whereas Rechinger (1968) did not.
The single sheet of this species in Freyn’s herbarium at
BRNM was annotated by his handwriting as “Malcolmia
hyrcanica n. sp. 11/3 [19]02 J. Freyn.” It has immature
fruits, and their description as “siliquis (junioribus tantum
notis)” in the original publication (Freyn, 1903) would
suggest that freyn based his description on that sole sheet,
which agrees with the way he often worked with material
of P. Sintenis (Sutorý, 2012). The duplicates at LD (one of
two) and LE (two branches) have mature fruits, and their
labels carrying “determ. J. Freyn” should not be treated as a
sign that Freyn studied them. Therefore, the sheet at BRNM
should be treated as a holotype in accordance with ICN Art.

German (in German et al., 2006: 295) designated as
lectotype a specimen in P (collected on 7 May 1842 along
Kuwan-Darja) supplied with original label and author’s note.
Rechinger’s earlier citation “Typus: Buchara, Lehm., LE”
was not taken into consideration because all ive syntypes
(mounted on three sheets) at LE are supplied with later
labels not specifying the locality and just repeating relevant
part of protologue without mentioning Bukhara. However,
the Bukhara gathering is the only one of ive collections
representing the original material of S. scorpioides, and it
could easily be identiied morphologically (relevant plants are
63
very young, small, mainly with buds while others are better
developed plants with lowers and immature to submature
fruits). Two such tiny plants are housed at LE (syntypes 3
and 5, according to German et al., 2006), each mounted on
a separate sheet with a plant representing any of the rest four
collections. Hence, Rechinger’s citation should be treated
as the irst-step lectotypiication narrowed herein to a single
specimen (syntype 3, according to German et al., 2006).
Within China, the species is restricted to the single
province (Xinjiang, western part), as its record from Gansu
is based on the gathering of S. brevipes (German and Chen,
2009).

The species was described based on the single collection
issued as exiccates “Herbarium Florae Rossicae” (No. 1005)
supplied with the printed label with detailed description and
diagnosis in Russian and Latin with the dates 17 and 29 May,
respectively, referring to the same day but relecting the
difference between Julian and Gregorian calendars. Rechinger
cited such a duplicate at W as “Typus” thus designated it as
lectotype. Botschantzev (1972: 1045), however, annotated
and cited as type a specimen with a handwritten Litvinov’s
label and analytical table. Thus, Botschantzev’s choice would
be preferable according to ICN Rec. 9A.3 (McNeill et al.,
2012) but Rechinger’s earlier tpiication is accurate and
should be followed.

corymbose, elongated slightly to considerably in fruit; rachis
straight; fruiting pedicels ascending to divaricate, persistent,
as thick as or narrower than fruit base. Sepals linear, free,
deciduous, erect, glabrous or scabrous-papillate, unequal,
base of lateral pair saccate, margin membranous; petals
yellow, pink, or purple, erect at base with laring blade, much
longer than sepals; blade obovate, apex rounded; claw welldifferentiated from blade, glabrous, unappendaged, entire;
stamens 6, distinctly exserted, erect, strongly tetradynamous;
ilaments iliform, wingless, unappendaged, not dilated at base,
glabrous, free; anthers linear, sagittate at base, subapiculate at
apex, not coiled after dehiscence; nectar glands 2; median
nectaries absent; lateral nectaries lunar or semiannular and
intrastaminal; ovules 50–80 per ovary. Fruits tardily dehiscent,
capsular siliques, long cylindric, terete, not inlated, sessile,
unsegmented; valves thickened, somewhat leathery, with an
obscure midvein, glabrous or papillate, not keeled, rounded,
smooth, wingless, unappendaged; gynophore absent; replum
rounded, broad; septum complete, membranous, hyaline or
thickened and opaque, not veined; style distinct, 5–15 mm
long, stout, cylindric-conical, persistent, glabrous; stigma
conical, 2-lobed, lobes prominent, connivent, partially
connate, opposite replum, not appendaged. Seeds uniseriate,
wingless, oblong, plump; seed coat minutely reticulate, not
mucilaginous when wetted; cotyledons incumbent.
Distribution: Armenia and Turkey southward into Sinai
and eastward into Iran.
Zuvanda includes three species, the typiication and
synonyms of which is given in Askerova (1985). It is
readily distinguished from all genera of the Malcolmia s.l.
complex by having auriculate to sagittate cauline leaves and
by lacking the branched trichomes. All three species were
recently transferred by Dorofeyev (2002) to Moricandia
DC. of the tribe Brassiceae, but neither molecular data
(German et al., 2009) nor morphological data (German &
Al-Shehbaz, 2008) support that tribal placement because
Zuvanda has incumbent cotyledons whereas Moricandia
has conduplicate cotyledons. An updated key to the three
Zuvanda species is provided herein.

Even though Rechinger’s (1968: 265) citation of the type:
“Typus: Talish, C. A. Mey., LE” does not it any actual label,
it unambiguously refers to a single collection deposited in
one herbarium and thus represents the irst-step typiication
which has priority over recent typiication of Dorofeyev
(2012: 376): “Caucasus, …Swant…, Hohenacker (LE).” One
