Clementi, Moreno, Vukojičić, Snežana, Miola, Antonella & Niketić, Marjan, 2016, Typification and nomenclature of the names published in Plantae Serbicae Rariores aut Novae-Decas III, Phytotaxa 252 (2), pp. 85-98 : 90

Hieracium [unranked] Melanocarpa Sch.Bip. in Visiani & Pančić (1870: 10)

Note:—See the note for the previous name.

Scabiosa macedonica var. lyrophylla (Pančić) Visiani & Pančić (1870: 11 , Tab. XIX, fig. 1)

≡ Knautia macedonica var. lyrophylla Pančić (1856: 547)

Neotype:— SERBIA. In pratis montanis Kurilovo S [erbia] austr[alis], Jul [io], J. Pančić s.n. (BEOU-9264!), Fig. 3 .

Additional specimens examined:— SERBIA. M [onte] Pleš, [1]868, J. Pančić s.n. (BEOU-9265!); SERBIA. In pratis M [ontis] Pleš, Jul[io] [1]869, J. Pančić s.n. (WU-Kerner 0083295!).

Note:—In Visiani & Pančić (1870) the new combination S. macedonica var. lyrophylla was proposed for K. macedonica var. lyrophylla , a taxon previously described by Pančić alone, which we typify here. In an observation, Visiani and Pančić explain that this variety is not different from a specimen by Emanuel von Friedrichstahl (1809–1842) that they had seen in W, which they imply to be part of the original material used by August H. R. Grisebach (1814– 1879) to describe his species. Still, they consider it far removed from the description that the same Grisebach gave for the taxon, “for the slender velvety-greyish stem, the leaves greyish-hairy on the underside, the bilamellate styles, the involucels prolonged into teeth on two of the corners (rather than on all of them)” (“ caule gracili velutino-incano, foliis subtus incano-villosis, stylo bilamellato, involucelli angulis duobus (nec omnibus) in dentem productis ”). We were not able to locate any specimen that was certainly collected by Pančić before the publication of the protologue. The specimen here selected as type bears a signature that might not be Pančić’ s, though it is conserved in his herbarium and the handwriting seems his. The locality of Kurilovo was cited in the protologue. The specimen that we designate here as a neotype might in fact be a lectotype; should this be demonstrated, our designation would then need to be corrected accordingly under Art. 9.9 ( McNeill et al. 2012). The locality of the additional specimen that we mention, Pleš, was incorrectly set as “Plés” in Visiani & Pančić (1870) and is absent in the protologue. This taxon is now generally treated in K. macedonica , (Euro+Med 2015), sometimes as a separate variety bearing Pančić’ s name ( Niketić 2014: 218).
