Gypsophila spergulifolia Grisebach (1843: 183 “ Gyptophila ”)

Note:—Visiani and Pančić discussed the identity of some specimens of this taxon, that they shared, from 1857, and soon suspected them to be members of some unknown variety of G. spergulifolia . It was probably during this period that Visiani commissioned the preparation of the illustration that was later published along with the protologue, which bears the invalid name “ Gypsophila spergulifolia var.”. Visiani and Pančić’ s determination was eventually confirmed by Grisebach himself in 1866 (Pančić in litt. 18 October 1866), as is explained in the protologue (see also the following paragraph). Pančić, in the aforementioned letter, proposed to Visiani to include the plant in their upcoming work “as a new form of a rare and little known species” (“ come forma nuova di una rara e poco conosciuta specie ”). In their work, but not in the illustration, they listed the plant with the wrong spelling “Gyptophila” (correctible under Art. 60.1, McNeill et al. 2012). This name is now generally accepted (Euro+Med 2015).
