Lectotypus (designated by STORK, 1972b: 39): GREECE: “Taygète: rocailles schisteuses dans la partie inférieure de la région des sommités, en montant au Hagios-Elias depuis le Pentaplou”, 6000'–6500' [1830–1980 m], VI–VII.1844, Heldreich 240 (G-BOIS [G00332204]; isolecto-: BM [BM000750021], E [E00438497], G [G00371820, G00332202, G00371834], GOET [GOET002634], K [K000693576, K000693578], L, MO [MO3833277], OXF, P [P05423379, P05423390, P05423392], WAG [WAG0004239], ZT [ZT00008155]) .

Notes. – The collection date on the lectotype sheet is 11 June 1844, whereas that on the unnumbered duplicates is VI–VII.1844. Both, however, were collected from an elevation of 6000–6500'.

The G-BOIS duplicate G00332205 was collected on 21 June 1844 from elevation of 5000 –6000', though it carries the same collection number (240) as the lectotype. It is considered here as a syntype and interpretation of the lectotype is stretched as presented by STORK (1972b).

The four syntypes at P do not have a collection number.
