Taxon discussion

This is a species with an European distribution ( Hamilton 1980), known locally from the floristic regions of Southern Pindos (SPi), Northern Pindos (NPi), Sterea Ellas (StE) and North East (NE; Dimopoulos et al. 2013). The population on Mt. Vermio is the first recorded from the floristic region of North Central (NC) Greece. Plants from this new population are rather slender, with congested inflorescences consisting of 3-6 flowers.
