Euphorbia glabriflora Visiani in Visiani & Pančić (1865: 477) ( Fig. 8 )

Lectotype (designated here):—Illustration in Visiani & Pančić (1865: t. 13).

In saxosis serpent[inaceis] ad Mokra gora S [erbia] merid[ionalis], Jul[io], J. Pančić s.n. ( PAD barcode H 0044648!); SERBIA. M. Zlatibor. Jul[io] [1]856, J. Pančić s.n. ( BEOU 675!); SERBIA. M. Stol. Jul[io] [1]864 ( BEOU 755!). SERBIA. In rupestrib[us] serpentinac[eis] M [ons] Stol Serb[ia] merid[ionalis], Jul[io], J. Pančić s.n. ( G barcode G 00405590!); SERBIA. s.l., s.d., J. Pančić s.n. ( G barcode G 00405592!).

Note:—We located numerous specimens that were certainly available to Pančić, including two with no date that were certainly sent to Boissier in Geneva in 1865, as we learnt from a letter by Pančić to Visiani dated 17 November 1865. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate any specimen that was certainly available to Visiani, the single author of this name, therefore we had no choice but to select the illustration published along with the protologue, that is very clearly recognisable as E. glabriflora . The name is still generally accepted (Euro+Med 2015, Niketić 2014).
