Taxon discussion

Endemic to the Balkan Peninsula and Italy ( Bartolucci et al. 2018), Pedicularis friderici-augusti is rare in Greece, as it has been recorded so far from only three mountains of the NE floristic region: Menikio, Falakro and Orvilos ( Raus 1991). This is the fourth record in the Greek territory, on a different mountain and the easternmost border of the species’ distribution in the country.
