Trachelanthus foliosus (Paine) Tristram (1884:367)
Taxonomy & Nomenclature
Synonyms: Cerinthopsis foliosa Paine in Palestine Explor. Soc. 3: 114 (1875); Cynoglossum foliosum (Paine) Greuter & Burdet in Willdenowia 11: 34 (1981)
This species has reportedly been regarded as a synonym of Trachelanthus cerinthoides in the past by POWO (POWO, 2018 fide Humphreys et al., 2019), but in 2024 POWO regards the taxon as valid (POWO, 2024).
Conservation Status

Last record: 1973 (Christenhusz & Govaerts, 2024)
