Abstract

  Lectotypes and a neotype have been selected for three forgotten Euphorbia L. names described from the Caucasus: E. chimaera Lipsky var. kimmerica Lipsky, E. densiflora K. Koch and E. repens K. Koch. These names are synonymized with E. sareptana A. Beck., E. stricta L. and E. virgata Waldst. et Kit. respectively.
