Taxon discussion

An east Mediterranean element previously known from Central and West Anatolia (Turkey) and the Greek Island of Lesvos ( Chamberlain 1972, Hart 2002). It was recently reported from Bulgaria ( Dimitrov 2010), from a locality ca. 60 km NW of the Greek records presented above. The name of the species derives from the characteristic conferted inflorescence. Our collections from Nomos Evrou (Fig. 18 ) are the first for continental Greece and the floristic region of the NE alike (Fig. 3 ).
