Note
:—When describing this variety, Deyl noted that plants with long hairy leaves occur on Ineul mountain (Rodna Mountains, peak Ineul), and also on the Retezat and Bucegi Mountains (Carpathians,
Romania
):—“
Habitat in alpinis Carpatorum Transsilvanicorum
”. We found only
one specimen
that has Deyl’s annotation label, which clearly indicates his assignment of it to a newly described variety, i.e. the specimen collected by Jávorka in
Ukraine
near the town Dragobrat in 1940 (
BP
19516!). However, Deyl did not mention this specimen in
„Specimina ut sequuntur vidi”
(
Deyl 1946: 137–138
), which implies that he probably did not study this material while preparing the monograph. Therefore, we did not take it into account for the typification. We found several specimens seen and cited by
Deyl (1946: 138)
, which were collected on the Carpathians in
Romania
(Rodna Mts. and Bucegi Mts.), and designate the specimen collected by Degen on peak Ineul on Rodna Mountains as
lectotype
(
BP
605380), bearing in mind Deyl’s opinion that typical specimens are those from Ineul mountain (
Deyl 1946: 140
).
