Nomenclatural note. Heldreich attributed the name V. amoena clearly to Steven on his herbarium material and gave V. glauca as synonym. However, V. amoena Stev. is a species from the Caspian region, which resembles the specimens here a bit, but belongs to a different subgenus. Thus, the name V. amoena Heldr. ex Nyman can be safely put into synonymy of V. glauca .
