Note:—In BOLO is housed a specimen sent by Tineo to Antonio Bertoloni coming from Grotte but without any date. In PAL we found one specimen ( PAL61077 View Materials ) with the handwritten label by V. Tineo including the Latin description. This specimen includes two inflorescences and two leaves, it fits the original description and corresponds to the current use of the name that applies to a species endemic to Sicily and Malta (Brullo & Brullo 2020).
