Campanula versicolor var. thessala Boissier (1875: 915)

Lectotype (designated here):— GREECE. In rupibus reg. sylvat. [regione sylvatica] m. Olympi [mount Olympus] Thessalia, 21 July 1851, T. de Heldreich s.n. ( G00330725 _a!)( Fig. 4B ).

Other original material: GREECE. In rupibus reg. sylvat. [regione sylvatica] m. Olympi [mount Olympus] Thessalia, 21 July 1851, T. de Heldreich s.n. ( G00330725 ) ; GREECE. Legi ad radices monti Olympi [ mount Olympus ] Thessaliae prope Litochoron, 14/26 July

1857, T. G. Orphanides 3707 ( G00330726 ) ; GREECE. In m. Olympi [mount Olympus] Thessalia reg. sylvatica [regione sylvatica], 21 July 1851, T. de Heldreich 400 ( FI050345 )

Protologue information:—“Hab. in rupibus ad radices Olympi Thessali prope Lithochoron et in regione sylvatica (Heldr! Orph!)”.

Note: —There are several herbarium specimens in G (G-BOIS) and FI herbaria (barcodes G00330725 with second sheet G00330725_a, and FI050345) collected by T. de Heldreich, and one collected by T. G. Orphanides (barcode G00330726). These specimens can be considered as original material since in the protologue Boissier noted that the description was made on the basis of the specimens collected by Heldreich and Orphanides („Heldr! Orph!“). Furthermore, details on the labels of these specimens perfectly match the information about the localities provided in the protologue.

There are two sheets at G bearing plants collected by Heldreich (G00330725 and second sheet G00330725_a), but the label is only on the first sheet ( Fig. 4A ). We here designate the specimen from the second sheet (G00330725_a) as lectotype for C. versicolor var. thessala as it is best preserved ( Fig. 4B ).
