Chromosome number: 2 n=38–40 ( Cesca & Palermo 1981: 388, sub  S. tenorei, see comments below). Figure 8C.  Iconography:— Tenore (1830, fig. 193-1); Reichenbach (1853, fig. 975-2); Hegi (1928: 753, fig. 459).   Distribution and habitat:— Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Macedonia  *, Montenegro, Serbia  *, Slovenia; montane and subalpine meadows, rocky slopes, edge of woods of  Fagus sylvestrisand  Carpinus sp., on calcareous soils; elevations of 330–2800 m( Figure 10).  Phenology:—Flowering from April to July.   Discussion:—The specimen collected at Mount Korab ( Albania) by Kümmerle was described as  S. doronicumf. albanicus. Its lanate involucre and floccose indumentum on the stem and leaves are remarkable, conferring an unusual whitish aspect. We did not have a chance to study material of this taxon from Serbiaand Macedonia, although we include them with an asterisk in the distribution according to Euro+Med PlantBase (2006+, http://ww2.bgbm.org/ EuroPlusMed/PTaxonDetailOccurrence.asp?NameId=7000832&PTRefFk=7000000, accessed 18 March 2014). The chromosome number recorded by Cesca & Palermo (1981)under  S. tenoreicomes from Monte Pollino ( Calabria, Italy); according to the present treatment, the populations from this region correspond to  S. scopoliisubsp. scopolii. Otherwise, the voucher material for the chromosome number (2 n=40) provided by Küpfer (1974)and Chichiriccò & Tammaro (1982)are from the Central Apennines, where the ranges of both subspecies overlap. Since we could not revise these vouchers, we prefer not to assign these counts to any subspecies.  Selected specimens examined.  ALBANIA. Distrikt Hasi Pastrik, Felsige Hāngein der subalp region, 42º13’N, 20º30’E,  15 May 1918,  I .   Dörfler421( C, G, S).  BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA. Veležbei Mostar, 43º20’N, 17º59’E,  25 July 1896,  V .   Curcics.n.( WU).  CROATIA. Istria, Učka, 45º18’N, 14º12’E,  31 May 2010,  J .  Calvo& A.   Unió4715( MA); Monte Maggiore, loco d. Reeina, 45º15’N, 14º12’E,  27 May 1928,  K. H .   Rechingers.n.( G). GREECE. SYSTEMATICS OF  SENECIOSECTION CROCISERIS  Phytotaxa 211 (1) © 2015 Magnolia Press• 31 Epirus: Smolikas, 40º5’N, 20º55’E,  23 June 1961,  D.
