Taxon discussion

A local and range-restricted species shared between NE Greece and south Bulgaria. In Greece, it has been reported from the mountains of Athos, Pangeo, Orvilos, Menikio and Falakro, all belonging to the NE floristic region ( Hartvig 1991). The new locality on Mt. Achladovouno extends the distribution range of the species to the east.
