discussion
Note: See extensive discussion on the correct name for this taxon by Lopez Gonzolez (in Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 52: 102. 1994). He indicates 836.4 (LINN) as the lectotype, allegedly following Ball (in Feddes Repert. 64: 14. 1962), and reproduces the Morison figure (as his f. 1 on p. 98). Although Ball discussed the identity of this sheet and the Allioni figure (probably Rorippa pyrenaica (All.) Rchb.), he did not choose a type, concluding " As the name is illegitimate, the confusion and doubt as to the identity of this species does not have any serious nomenclatural consequences ". It is illegitimate because it is a later homonym of S. pyrenaicum Loefl. (1758).
