Taxon discussion

In Greece, this subspecies is reported only from the floristic region of NC Greece, where it occurs on Mt. Voras (also known as Kaimaktsalan) and Mt. Varnous ( Anagnostopoulos and Strid 2002). This is the third report from Greece (Fig. 22 ) and the first one from the floristic region of the NE (Fig. 17 ).
