Carl Bořivoy Presl described this species from
Sicily
(“Ad rivulos Nebrodum”). In the Herbarium Presl (
PR
) is a specimen that conforms with the protologue, can be considered as original material, and is here selected as the
lectotype
since
I
was not able to trace further original materials. The
lectotype
confirms the current application of the name (e.g.
Pignatti 1982
,
Tutin 1993
).
