2. Hieracium murorum var. austrohelveticum Zahn (1921: 288)

≡ Hieracium murorum [subsp. tenuiflorum] forma austrohelveticum (Zahn) Zahn (1931: 481) .

Ind. loc.:—[without indication].

Type:—[ ITALY. Trentino Alto-Adige, Prov. BZ] “ Oberbozen Sep 1924, L. Fenaroli ” (neotype, designated here: TR-BOT027319 !) .

Remarks: —Zahn described this variety (later recombined as a form) without any clear reference to specimens or collection areas but with a short diagnosis (“ cum pedicellis subdense pilosae ”). Only later, in the monograph of Ascherson & Graebner, he listed a series of localities for this form ( Zahn 1931). Among the localities there are several that refer to collections by Luigi Fenaroli in the Lake Iseo area and in Oberbozen (South Tyrol). We could trace these specimens in Fenaroli’s herbarium in TR, including the specimen collected in Oberbozen (TR-BOT027319) bearing a label hand-written and signed by Zahn with the determination H. murorum subsp. tenuiflorum A.-T. β pilosiceps Zahn 2. austrohelveticum Zahn. The specimen is in a good preservation state and has peduncles with rather dense simple hairs. For this reason, we agree to designate this specimen as a neotype.

Current name:— Hieracium tenuiflorum .
