Phagnalon pumilum var. tomentosum Raulin ex Halácsy, Consp. Fl. Graec. 2 (1): 29. 1902.

Current name: Phagnalon pygmaeum

Lectotype (designated here):—[ Greece] In rupium fissuris in summis montibus Sphakioticis Cretae, 6–7000’: July 1846, T. H. H. von Heldreich 1620 ( WU 0097717 ), authentic specimen for Phagnalon pumilum var. tomentosum Raulin (quod vide in Catalogue B).

Syntype:—[ Greece] In montibus Sphacioticis summo jugo Mavrous Lakous: July 1882, G. C . Spreitzenhofer s.n. ( WU 0097710 ) .

Montes-Moreno et al. (2018: 11) cited the Spreitzenhofer voucher as lectotype for Phagnalon pumilum var. tomentosum Halácsy. However, Halácsy (1902a) referred to Raulin (1869), who cited a gathering by Heldreich without description, and to Ostermeyer (1890), who cited a gathering by Spreitzenhofer, also without description. Ostermeyer (1890) referred to Phagnalon pumilum var. tomentosum of Raulin (1869), clearly indicated with an asterisk (cf. Ostermeyer 1890: 292). Since both Ostermeyer and Halácsy refer to Raulin, and thus the Heldreich gathering cited by Raulin, it is recommendable to select the Heldreich specimen and not that of Spreitzenhofer. In accordance with Art. 9.19 Turland et al. 2018) we therefore here designate Heldreich´s voucher in herbarium WU-Halácsy-Graec. (WU 0097717) as lectotype.
