Notes

This species has several nomenclatural issues. All databases (accessed on 05.06.2023), except for IPNI, as well as most of the publications (e.g. Tzvelev (1995), Tasenkevich (1998), Chorney (2011), Chopyk and Fedoronchuk (2015), Mosyakin and Fedoronchuk (2015), Kliment et al. (2016) and Kliment et al. (2016)) indicate the name P. tetramerum as introduced by Schur (1853). This orthographical variant is the most abundant and commonly applied by botanists. However, in the original protologue and further ( Schur 1866), Schur applied a slightly different name - P. tetramerium . It is unclear why and when the specific epithet lost the letter 'i'. Another issue with this species is that GBIF (https://www.gbif.org/species/3166601, accessed on 05.06.2023), WFO (http://www.worldfloraonline.org/taxon/wfo-0000821849, accessed on 05.06.2023), POWO (https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/77287349-1, accessed on 05.06.2023) and Worldplants (https://www.worldplants.de/world-plants-complete-list/complete-plant-list?name=Phyteuma-tetramerum, accessed on 07.06.2023) provide the synonym P. spicatum var. tetramerum (Schur) Nyman. IPNI (https://www.ipni.org/n/77287349-1, accessed on 05.06.2023) even has a link to the 'protologue' of P. spicatum var. tetramerum on BHL (https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/11015628#page/495, accessed on 05.06.2023). However, Nyman never made such a combination and, in the original publication, Nyman (1878) only indicated that P. tetramerium is a synonym for P. spicatum .
