On the proper type designation for Camelina microcarpa, a wild relative and possible progenitor of the crop species C. sativa (Brassicaceae)

Mosyakin, S.L. & J.R. Brock (2021). On the proper type designation for Camelina microcarpa, a wild relative and possible progenitor of crop species C. sativa (Brassicaceae). In English, English abstract. Candollea 76: 55–63.The name microcarpa Andrz. ex DC. (Brassicaceae) is discussed. This taxon currently considered to be oilseed (L.) Crantz, thus typification important further germplasm research improvement species. At present, several (at least four) specimens deposited in herbaria G-DC, KW, LE, are listed literature and/or annotated or online databases as (holotype lectotype) microcarpa. The original material G-DC [G00203789] accepted here holotype because it appears only element used by Candolle when preparing his description new taxon. Isotypes from Besser herbarium at National Herbarium Ukraine Kyiv (KW-BESS) discussed illustrated. It concluded that two well-preserved isotypes KW-BESS [KW001003103, KW001003104] sufficient precise morphology-based application Our analysis provided evidence was collected Andrzejowski no later than 1818 Podolian Governorate former Russian Empire, most probably eastern part Moldova adjacent southwestern parts Ukraine, along Dnister (Nistru, Dniester) River between present-day town Camenca (Kamenka) confluence Yagorlyk (Iagorlîc) rivers, on limestone outcrops. means may belong southern Ukrainian populations, which genetically different northern central ones; however, field molecular studies needed more one genotype fact occur area.Received: August 7, 2020; Accepted: November 26, First published online: February 1, 2021
