Eryngium palmatum Pančić & Visiani (1870: 20)

Type:— SERBIA. Moravica District : S. merid. [Serbia meridionalis], in saxosis calc. M. Ogradjenik, July [1866], Pan č i ċ s.n. . (lectotype designated here: PAD H0016461 !). Fig. 1 .

Note:— The new lectotype was sent by Pančić to Visiani for an opinion, who later crossed out ' tricuspidatum' ⎯the original name on the label, and added the name palmatum VP (= Visiani Pančić). Although the label of this specimen of E. palmatum from Ogradjenik (Mt. Javor in West Serbia) has no written year of collection, we conclude it was collected in the summer of 1866. This conclusion was based on the analysis of Pančić’ s travelogues ( Pančić 1867), as well as study of the herbarium material in BEOU.

Moreover, all of the herbarium specimens from Ogradjenik, collected by Pančić and deposited in BEOU date from 1866, as can be seen on their labels.

The second specimen that belongs to the original material is deposited in a special collection of Andreas Wolny ( Perić et al. 2012), in Sremski Karlovci High School. It is protected by the Republic of Serbia after the official decision of the Institute for Protection and Study of cultural monuments (nr. 240/50). The herbarium sheet contains exsiccates determined as E. tricuspidatum from two localities. The first one—Ravanica—is mentioned in the protologue, while the other one—Mt. Zlatibor—is not. The label on the material from Ravanica lacks the date of collecting, while the label from Zlatibor is dated from 1856. Since we cannot say with certainty which exsiccate originates from which locality, and considering the fact that the collection of A. Wolny is not registered in the Index Herbariorum ( Thiers 2013, continuously updated), we decided not to typify the name on the basis of this specimen.
