Current name: Adonis cyllenea

Syntypes:—[ Greece] In sylvis abietinis in Phlampouritza = faucibus inter m. Kyllene et Gymnovouno 4500’: 10 July 1848, T. H. H . von Heldreich 2166 ( WU 0074912 ).—[ Greece] In regione media montis Ziriae ( Cyllene ) Peloponnesi supra Tricala prope Prioni. (rarissima), Apr. - Majo., alt. 4500’: 23 April 1854 / 5 May 1854, T. G . Orphanides 447 ( WU 0074913 ), authentic specimen for Adonis sibthorpii Boiss., Orph. & Heldr. (quod vide in Catalogue B) .

Runemark (2002) erroneously mentions specimens of Orphanides 2542 (lectotype in G-BOIS) housed in the WU main collection and in WU-Halácsy-Graec. No such material could be found and most probably never existed in WU. As no. 447 has the same collecting date and a similar (though not identical) locality, Runemark perhaps had considered it a duplicate of no. 2542.
