30. Hieracium murorum [subsp. tenuiflorum] subvar. subfloccosum Zahn (1931: 480)

Ind. loc.:—“z. B. Iseo-See; Welschnofen; Latemar-Karersee; Tuxer Tal; Pieve di Cadore; Ampezzo”.

Type:—[ ITALY, Lombardy, Prov. BG] “ Sebini , Jun–Jul 1924, L. Fenaroli ” (lectotype, designated here: TR barcode TR-BOT027299 !) .

Syntypes:—[ ITALY, Lombardy, Prov. BG] “ Tavernola , Apr 1923, L. Fenaroli ” ( TR-BOT027301a !; TR-BOT027301b !) .

Remarks:—According to Zahn, this subvariety should be characterized by involucres with subdense or dense stellate hairs. We traced three different specimens in TR that match the description of Zahn and bear labels handwritten by the German hieraciologist (TR-BOT027299; TR-BOT027300 and TR-BOT027301a,b). The first (TR-BOT027299) has the name Sebini (that refers to Iseo Lake) on the label written by Fenaroli. There are two plants on the sheet, both matching the original description, and this material could be safely considered as a lectotype. The specimen TR-BOT027300 consists of a single plant, but the collection locality is unreadable. The two specimens TR-BOT027301a and TR-BOT027301b bear three different labels that indicate the locality of Tavernola on Iseo Lake. The labels are handwritten by Zahn and clearly refer to var. subfloccosum . These specimens could be considered as syntypes.

Current name:— Hieracium tenuiflorum .
