Erythrocarpa Type indication:—“Typus: Holotypus im h Doll / Locus typicus: Plovdiv , Wegrand. 9. 7. 76. Doll“; also Plate LXXI: „ Taraxacum plovdivense Doll sp. nov. – Holotypus ” . Type :— Plovdiv , Wegrand., 9 Jul 1976 , R . Doll [as Taraxacum plovdivense sp. nov. ] ( JE , no. det. 9164, holotype ) . Specimens of the OM :— A single specimen of the OM corresponds to the Plate LXXI ( Doll 1978 ) and consists of a plant with flowers (pollen irregular in size), and a part of the same rosette and a few fragments and achenes in an envelope. It is not possible to interpret this name on the basis of an extremely late, not well preserved specimen. Conclusion:—The name T. plovdivense is left without interpretation, as a nomen damnabile . It does not belong to T . sect. Erythrocarpa , otherwise its sectional position remains unclear.
