Notes.

A complete species description of T. patens was published in 1829 by J. Roemer and J. Schultes ( Ivashchenko and Belyalov 2019). Subsequently, C. F. Ledebour described it as T. tricolor Ledeb. The taxonomic position of T. patens is relatively controversial. Some authors ( Christenhusz et al. 2013; Everett et al. 2013; Li et al. 2021) place it in synonymy of T. sylvestris subsp. australis , while other authors ( Polyakov 1958; Cherepanov 1995; Zonneveld 2009; Kutlunina et al. 2013; Wilson 2023) consider this species an independent taxon. We believe that T. patens deserves recognition based on its complex morphological characteristics and ecology.
