Draba winterbottomii (Hook. fil. & Thomson) Pohle

Comments

provided by eFloras
Ptilotrichum wageri was recognized as a distinct species in FRPS (p. 127), Fl. Xinjiang. (2(2): 105-107. 1995), and Fl. Xizang. (2: 344. 1985). However, an examination of its holotype, Wager 13 (K), clearly reveals that it is a synonym of Draba winterbottomii. No perennial species of Alyssum (including Ptilotrichum) has leafless scapes and more than four ovules per ovary. In his protologue of P. wageri (Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 22: 208. 1957), Jafri erroneously stated that the ovary is 4-ovuled, though his hand-written comment on the holotype sheet correctly indicated that the ovary is 10-ovuled. The illustrations in Fl. Xinjiang. of two species of Ptilotrichum represent two forms of Alyssum canescens.

The record in FRPS (p. 141) of Draba incompta Steven from Xizang is based on misidentified plants of D. winterbottomii. True D. incompta is endemic to the Caucasus.
