Taraxacum plovdivense Doll (1978: 629, Plate LXXI), described as a member of T. sect. Erythrocarpa

Type indication:—“Typus: Holotypus im h Doll / Locus typicus: Plovdiv, Wegrand. 9. 7. 76. Doll“; also Plate LXXI: „ Taraxacum plovdivense Doll sp. nov. – Holotypus ” .

Type:— Plovdiv, Wegrand., 9 Jul 1976, R. Doll [as Taraxacum plovdivense sp. nov.] (JE, no. det. 9164, holotype) .

Specimens of the OM:— A single specimen of the OM corresponds to the Plate LXXI (Doll 1978) and consists of a plant with flowers (pollen irregular in size), and a part of the same rosette and a few fragments and achenes in an envelope. It is not possible to interpret this name on the basis of an extremely late, not well preserved specimen.

Conclusion:—The name T. plovdivense is left without interpretation, as a nomen damnabile. It does not belong to T. sect. Erythrocarpa, otherwise its sectional position remains unclear.
