Taxonomic notes:—The type specimen is characterized by the stem holotrichous, cauline leaves of equal size, elliptical and pubescent with prominent lateral veins. Taking these characters into account, Th. lanuginosus var. pannonicus f. nicaeensis might be considered as a heterotypic synonym of Th. oenipontanus Heinr.Braun ex Borbás. The latter critical species is distributed in France, Switzerland, Italy and Austria ( Machule 1957, Jalas 1970, Bartolucci 2010, Tison & de Foucault 2014, Bartolucci & Scharfetter 2015).
