Findet sich auch an einigen anderen Waldorten Siziliens und am Gargano in Apulien (Porta &amp; Rigo!).” We were able to trace several herbarium specimens housed in ADMONT, JE, P, W and WU which can be considered original material (Art. 9.4 of the ICN; Turland et al. 2018). These herbarium specimens are complete, well conserved and agree with the protologue and with the current application of the name. The specimen W0022366 is selected here as lectotype for E. siculus .</p><p>DESCRIPTION</p><p>Echinops siculus can be recognized by the slightly bluish colour of capitula (that are more dark-coloured in E. ritro and usually paler in E. sphaerocephalus and E. albidus). Plants of E. siculus lack glandular hairs on involucral bracts, a feature shared with E. albidus . However, in the latter as well as in E. sphaerocephalus the leaves are adaxially densely covered by short glandular hairs which are at least 0.2 mm (up to 0.6 mm) long, while these hairs are extremely short (up to 0.1 mm) and very sparse or even absent in E. siculus . Furthermore from E. ritro (with leaves eglandular, adaxially loosely arachnoidtomentose, becoming glabrescent) the plants differ by its less deeply divided leaves.</p><p>Echinops siculus was considered endemic to Italy (Peruzzi et al. 2014) where it is known from Emilia-Romagna and Toscana to Calabria and Sicily, in Marche it is doubtfully present (Bartolucci et al. 2018). Kožuharov (1976) included it as synonym in E. ritro subsp. ritro, while Greuter (2003, 2006) separated it as “doubtful subspecies” within E. ritro .</p><p>However, we could clearly identify three gatherings deposited as “ E. sphaerocephalus subsp. albidus ” in WU and originating from Corfu (Ionian Islands, Greece) as E. siculus . The identification is based on comprehensive examination of morphological features following the relevant literature (Pignatti 1982) as well as comparison with the original material of this species (at ADMONT, JE, W and WU) and additional exsiccata (APP, WU).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A290346C2C4E64FEB7F999FDEDFBA6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Ech. ruthenico,)” We were able to trace two herbarium specimens housed in G-BOIS, which can be considered original material (Art. 9.4 of the ICN; Turland et al. 2018). These herbarium specimens are complete, well conserved and agree with the protologue and with the current application of the name. There are two sheets with identical labels: G00765089 and G00765089a. The specimen G00765089 is selected here as lectotype for E. albidus .</p><p>DESCRIPTION</p><p>Echinops albidus was quoted for the Balkan Peninsula and for SE Italy according to Kožuharov (1976, as E. sphaerocephalus subsp. albidus). In Italy, it is indicated as doubtful for Abruzzo and Campania though still recorded in Basilicata (Conti et al. 2018; Bartolucci et al. 2018). Thorough search did not reveal any records of the species from the reported localities in the Majella mountains (Tammaro 1986). As these are the only findings published for Abruzzo, the species has been excluded from this region (Conti et al. 2019). Similarly the occurrence in Basilicata and Campania is not supported by any specimens in FI, APP and in HLUC herbaria, thus, at the given point, it is to be excluded from Italy at all.</p><p>From the Ionian Islands, the species was first reported by Georgiou (1988, as E. sphaerocephalus subsp. albidus). Ac- cording to relevant literature (Kožuharov 1976), it is said to differ from typical E. sphaerocephalus by its smaller capitula (with involucres less than 18(-20) mm long) and accordingly smaller synflorescences, and by its glabrous involucral bracts. However, based on comparison with collections present in WU (from Greece, Albania, Bulgaria) this has to be corrected: with exception of young synflorescences, the material shows involucre lengths between (16-)18-22(-25) mm, and usually at least some of the (outer) phyllaries are furnished, so often sparse, with minute glandular papillae (of only c. 0.05- 0.1 mm) or subsessile glandular hairs at the tips (seen also in material from the type region). In the Ionian collections measurements of involucre length slightly exceed this with 19-25 (-27) mm and are more or less congruent with those of C European E. sphaerocephalus . The latter differs from the Ionian (Corfu) plants by glandular hairs of the phyllaries up to 0.2 mm long, and present in abundance abaxially on the apical part of outer and middle phyllaries. In E. albidus, leaves are more deeply divided and spines are longer than in typical E. sphaerocephalus . We think that given the characteristic combination of features it is adequate to consider this taxon at the species level.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A290346C2A4E66FE92FBB8FEA7FC06	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Lindhof 257 (WU [WU 0103731], Herb. Gutermann [5 capitula]).</p><p>REMARKS ON THE LECTOTYPE</p><p>Echinops neumayeri was described by Visiani (1847) “in Dalmatia, unde absque loci speciali indicatione, sed probabiliter</p><p>ex Narenta communicavit Fr. Neumayer”. In PAD, where the main collection of Visiani is stored (Stafleu &amp; Cowan 1986) we traced a specimen with two labels: the first one without locality, collector Neumayer. The second label shows: Visiani, Flora Dalmatica [printed], in m[ont]e Orjen, Neumayer. Even though this localization is not congruent with the protologue, the tab. Xter of Visiani’s Flora Dalmatica obviously was drawn from the mounted plant and the specimen perfectly fits the description. It can be assumed that the second label giving the locality (positioned in SE Dalmatia) was added to the specimen only after publication of the Flora Dalmatica. We thus here designate the above discussed voucher as lectotype for E. neumayeri .</p><p>Until recently E. spinosissimus was known from Greece only from the Aegean region, i.e. from Kithira (S of Peloponnesus), Crete, the Cyclades and East Aegean Islands (Strid 2016); all these records were assigned to either subsp. spinosissimus or subsp. bithynicus (Dimopoulos et al. 2013), or to frequent intermediates between them (Strid 2016). Additional records of the species from the Ionian Islands and the nearby mainland were accepted under the binominal heading only (Dimopoulos et al. 2016) though the latter record was published as subsp. neumayeri (Sánchez-Jiménez et al. 2012a) . The Ionian plants have likewise been relegated to that taxon (cf. Sánchez-Jiménez et al. 2012b; Flora Ionica Working Group 2016) based on collections from Corfu, Lefkada, Ithaca, and field observations from Cephalonia. Recently, it was recorded also west of the Adriatic Sea, in Puglia (Wagensommer &amp; Medagli 2014), where, according to the photograph given by the authors, the plants show bluish corollas as the Albanian ones, while the Ionian plants are white-flowering as those known from Dalmatia, the type region. We think that this population needs further study.</p><p>It was recorded from Albania (Meyer 2011) though erroneously as the specimens collected by F. K. Meyer have been revised and assigned to E. sphaerocephalus (Barina 2017, Barina et al. 2018). When revised by us, these specimens turned out to belong to E. albidus . Nevertheless, our own collections from Albania quoted above do confirm the occurrence of E. spinosissimus subsp. neumayeri in this country.</p><p>The taxonomy of the E. spinosissimus aggregate is linked with uncertainties that make a safe discrimination between the subspecies as currently defined dissatisfying. Only the complex of South Mediterranean plants (represented in Europe by subsp. spinosus Greuter) are set apart by eglandular leaves with very narrow, linear-lanceolate segments and by the bristles subtending the capitula distinctly longer than the outer phyllaries. As already noted by Meikle (1985) and Strid (2016) there are frequent intermediates between subsp. bithynicus and subsp. spinosissimus as presently defined, following “ Flora Europaea ” (Kožuharov 1976). The variation of discriminating features still is insufficiently studied.</p><p>The Ionian plants are consistent with material from Dalmatia (where the original material for this taxon was gathered: Visiani 1847: 25). They correspond to the definition of subsp. neumayeri in “Flora Europaea”, we thus provisionally adopt this name for the material quoted above pending further comparative studies with plants of the E Mediterranean.</p><p>The nomenclatural situation is also somewhat confusing. Echinops spinosissimus was founded on plants said to originate from Crete (obviously relying on Tournefort), but were characterised by leaves being tomentose on both sides (Turra 1765). The latter feature points to subsp. spinosus (see above) not known from Crete, where subsp. bithynicus as well as subsp. spinosissimus (sensu “ Flora Europaea ”) are indicated. Typification of the name E. spinosissimus is needed, but with careful consideration of nomenclatural complications linked to the still unsolved taxonomy of the complex.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A290346C284E68FF5FFC1BFD8CFD85	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
