Note
:—Before giving the formal description, Deyl noted that there is a variety of
S. orbelica
growing on Pirin mt. in the Banderica valley, only on granite rocks (
Deyl 1946
). Although in the protologue he did not mention the type of bedrock, in his introductory remarks, which can be considered to be part of the protologue (Rec. 8A.4 footnote,
McNeill
et al.
2012
), he mentioned “
Habitat in montibus Pirin Planina in
Bulgaria
”. We found
two specimens
in PR identified as
S. orbelica
var.
pirinensis
by Deyl, and one duplicate of the specimen in BP. One of these specimens from PR had calcareous bedrock on the label, but the plants growing on limestone in Banderica valley were described as
S. klastersky
Deyl (1946: 144)
. The second specimen from PR, which clearly noted granite as the type of bedrock on which the plant was collected, is designated as
lectotype
, and the duplicate of this specimen in BP is an
isolectotype
.
