UDC 582.683.2:581.92(64)

Keywords: Atlas Mts., Cruciferae, Maghreb, new combination, nomenclature, taxonomy, typification, SW Mediterranean

Abstract

A new generic name, Helicodraba, based on Draba sect. Helicodraba, is validated to accommodate one to two NW African (Moroccan part of Atlas Mts.) species morphologically and molecularly sharply deviating from the rest of Draba. Relevant specific and subspecific combinations are also published, lectotype designations are made and commented where needed. Besides, two combinations are validated in Erophila.
