Abstract
The identity of the lectotype of Sisymbrium valentinum, basionym of Biscutella valentina, has always proven to be a complex task. This difficulty has caused different interpretations by the authors who have studied the taxonomy of this genus. Despite being a well-preserved and quite complete specimen, although the fruits are missing, there has been a controversy over time that has not allowed its critical identification for the purpose of a precise application of the name to a certain taxon. In this work, the designation of an epitype is proposed to allow a precise use and interpretation of this name that helps to achieve nomenclatural stability.
