SUMMARY
Previous reports of L. vulgare Dun. 1919 (= L. barbarum L. 1763, non L. barbarum L. 1753, the latter being a Chinese species) and of L. europaeum L. 1753 could not be reconfirmed as it was not possible to see any collection for above taxa from Saudi Arabia. Mandaville (1990) did not mention presence or absence of pubescence towards the inside base of corolla or on the filaments; lack of pubescence there in his material would have confirmed his identification of L. depressum Stocks.
