2. Dianthus ciliatus Gussone var. cymosus Visiani (1852: 162)

Lectotype (designated here):— MONTENEGRO. In apricis circa Ragusa et Cattaro, s.d., Visiani s.n. ( PAD-HD05071 !).

Note:— The illustration that Visiani gave in his Flora Dalmatica (1847: Tab. XXV, fig. 1b), named Dianthus racemosus , belongs to this variety. Dianthus ciliatus Guss. var. cymosus Visiani (1852: 162) was described from Ragusa and Cattaro “ In apris circa Ragusa et Cattaro ”, whose herbarium specimens we were able to trace in PAD herbarium and here we select the specimen PAD-HD05071! as lectotype. This name has to be linked to D. ciliatus subsp. dalmaticus because the illustration given by Visiani (1847: Tab. XXV, fig. 1b) and diagnosis in the protologue “ floribus longe pedunculatis subsolitariis, pedunculis cymosis paniculatisve, petalorum lamina obovate” correspond to lately described D. dalmaticus by Čelakovský (1885: 189) who also cited this Visiani’s name as a synonym in the protologue.

The name Dianthus ciliatus var. cymosus is validly published and today is treated as a synonym of D. ciliatus subsp. dalmaticus .

Other original material examined: — MONTENEGRO. Cattaro, Ragusa, s.d., Visiani s.n. (isolectotypes: PAD-HD 05072!, PAD-HD 05073!).
