(L. graecus Boiss. & Heldr. ):

Stems simple. Leaves with numerous to dense, more or less sessile stellate hairs and short- to long-stalked 3- to 7-fid hairs. Involucre 12-15 mm; bracts with few to numerous sessile stellate hairs and unequal, rigid simple eglandular or 2- to 4-fid hairs mainly in a median line, sometimes pectinate-ciliate. Achenes 9-12 mm. 2/7 = 8. • Greece and S. Albania", S. & C. Italy.

Var. intermedius Huter , Porta & Rigo ex Fiori, with short indumentum and less divided leaves, and L. graecus var. heldreichianus Boiss. , with longer, denser, less forked hairs, which are included in subsp. graecus , may perhaps merit subspecific rank.
