Notes

GBIF (https://www.gbif.org/species/4116614, accessed on 05.06.2023), POWO (https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/403363-1, accessed on 05.06.2023), Euro+Med (https://europlusmed.org/cdm_dataportal/taxon/e9bc861f-d097-45a6-bd73-706befdd5fc1, accessed on 05.06.2023) and Worldplants (https://www.worldplants.de/world-plants-complete-list/complete-plant-list?name=Leucopoa-pulchella, accessed on 07.06.2023) mistakenly consider F. pseudonutans Schur and F. scheuchzeriformis Schur as synonyms of F. pulchella Schrad. (≡ Leucopoa pulchella (Schrad.) H.Scholz & Foggi). Schur (1866), who described F. scheuchzeriformis and F. pseudonutans , later indicated them to be synonymic with F. carpatica and joined under the name F. scheuchzeriformis. Schur (1866) noted that this species occurs in the outskirts of Kronstadt (= Brașov). Merging of F. scheuchzeriformis with F. pulchella , perhaps, resulted from recombinations made by Krajina (1933) on page 51, who downgraded F. scheuchzeriformis to the rank of subspecies (i.e. F. pulchella subsp. scheuchzeriformis (Schur) Krajina) and delimited two varieties within this subspecies - var. bucegica Krajina (Muntii Bucegi, Transsylvania) and var. plicata (Huter. in Hackel) Krajina (south Austria and Yura, Switzerland). At the same time, Krajina (1933), on page 52, described the second subspecies within F. pulchella - F. pulchella subsp. Festuca pulchella eu-pulchella Krajina, distributed in Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Germany. Hence, following Krajina (1933), only F. pulchella subsp. scheuchzeriformis var. bucegica occurs in the Carpathians. Therefore, only this variety corresponds to F. scheuchzeriformis in the sense of Schur (1866). Consequently, this variety corresponds to F. carpatica , endemic to the Carpathians ( Kliment et al. 2016).
