Type: “Hab. in cacuminibus Hermonis suprà Rascheya in Antilibano. (Boiss.)”.

Notes. – Several authors (e.g., POST, 1896, 1932; ZOHARY et al., 1980; GREUTER et al., 1986) maintained Boissier’s name and overlooked its earlier homonym. In that, they mostly likely followed SCHULZ (1927) who recognized the illegitimacy of that name but erroneously kept it while reducing the earlier homonym to a variety ( var. oxycarpa Th. Fr. ) of his highly polymorphic D. alpina L. that encompassed many species of northern Eurasia and North America.

The species is highly restricted to the Antilibanon Mountains west of Damascus in the Golan Heights, an area currently administered by Israel.
