03DA8796FFA59A7BFF2D79882A3BB5F6.taxon	discussion	The wild ancestor of cultivated Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) has been tentatively identified in the past in S. tetrandra Steven ex M. Bieb. or S. turkestanica on morphological grounds (Andersen & Torp, 2011). However, molecular investigations established beyond any doubt that the central Asiatic S. turkestanica is the only wild relative of S. oleracea (e. g., Ku et al., 2017; Gyawali et al., 2021), toward which maternal introgression has been demonstrated (She et al., 2022).	en	Guacchio, E.

03DA8796FFA49A7AFF2D7FE22A21B39A.taxon	discussion	Note: ― In several sources (e. g., Uotila, 1997; POWO, 2022), it is stated that the name was first published in 1935. However, the second volume of The weeds of URSS was first printed, with a circulation of 10000 copies, in 1934; a second run of 2500 copies was printed in 1935 (Uotila, pers. comm.). Therefore, the name was validly published by Iljin in 1934.	en	Guacchio, E. Del, Caputo, P.
