Schönbeck-Temesy & Ehrendorfer (1991a) described Asperula malevonensis Ehrend. & Schönb. -Tem. based on one of the syntypes of Asperula boissieri var. transiens Halácsy. Halácsy (1895e) considered var. transiens as intermediate between A. nitida Sm. (in Sibthorp & Smith, Fl. Graec. Prodr. 1 (1): 89. 1806) and A. pulvinaris Heldr. ex Boiss., Schönbeck-Temesy & Ehrendorfer (1991a) state “Having a different opinion about this plant, we have preferred to choose a new name as specific epithet”, as they write “ Asperula malevonensis Ehrend. & Schönb. -Tem. sp. nova” and give a latin description this is a valid description.
