Remarks: —The three specimens in B bear Zahn’s handwritten determination “ Hieracium erythrocarpum Peter ssp. sparsinaevum Zahn, 1919 ”, whereas the lectotype bears an additionl label from Bonrmüller with the note “ ssp. cryptonaeum Bornm. et Zahn ”. Zahn may have changed the name to avoid confusion with his H. maculatum subsp. sparsinaevulum .
