Note
:—Deyl described the new species on the basis of material collected on Evia by Pichler under the name “
S. tenuifolia
var.” on mt. Xerovouni, and by Orphanides on mt. Dyrfis determined just as
Sesleria
. We found
three specimens
collected by Pichler (P,
PR
and
WU
) and several specimens collected by Orphanides with the collector number
1100 in
PR
(with probably more duplicates of both gatherings in other European herbaria). The new species was named after Vladimír Josef Krajina (1905–1993), Deyl’s contemporary and colleague who worked for a period as a professor at the Charles University in
Prague
. The specimen selected here as the
lectotype
(P 0265799) is the best preserved, and fits best with the protologue, since the leaves are ca.
2 mm
wide and up to
20 cm
long.
