Protologue information
:—Habitat: locus Daupera pr. Büšcha, prata alpina lapid.,
6600 m
s. m., leg. Voronov,
4.VIII.1905
.
Nomenclature:—
Deyl (1946: 108)
cited a single gathering and stated he had seen only
one specimen
deposited in the Vienna museum. As we are not sure whether duplicates of this specimen exist in some other European herbaria, we designate the specimen from W as
lectotype
, though it may be the
holotype
. On the specimen can be seen a Deyl’s undated label, with the name “
Sesleria anatolica
var.
autumnaloides
” (unpublished name), expressing his opinion regarding the similarity of the newly described
variety with
S. autumnalis
(noted later in the protologue,
Deyl 1946: 108
).
Taxonomy:
—The name
Sesleria anatolica
var.
voronovii
is considered synonym of
S. alba
(Clayton
et al.
2016)
.
