Taxonomic considerations on the nomenclatural types of Gagea rhodiaca A. Terracc. and G. reticulata subsp. africana A. Terracc. (Liliaceae), kept at PISA (PI)

Gagea rhodiaca A. Terracc. is typified on one herbarium specimen kept at PI (isolectotypes occur in FI and G). Cross sections of basal leaves, peduncles and pedicels on one individual of that typical collection shows that it belongs to Gagea sect. Graminifoliae Levichev and is very likely a synonym of the NE Mediterranean species Gagea rigida Boiss. & Spruner. G. reticulata subsp. africana A. Terracc. is typified on one herbarium specimen in PI too. The latter unit is shown to belong to Gagea sect. Platyspermum Boiss. and to be synonymic with the N African endemic G. fibrosa (Desf.) Schult. & Schult. f.
