Validation of a hybrid name in genus Beta (Amaranthaceae) from Armenia

A recently published hybrid in the genus Beta (Amaranthaceae s.l.) was proposed based on both morphological and molecular data. However, from the nomenclatural point of view, no type (holo-) was reported and according to the Arts. 40.1 and 40.7 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, the hybrid name resulted as not validly published. The validation of the new hybrid is proposed in the present paper (Beta × vardenyatensis hybr. nov.).
