Lectotype (designated here):— SERBIA. E seminib[us] de rupib[us] calcar[eis] ad Derventa Serb [ia] Merid [ionali] culta. Flor [et] Maj [o] Jun [io], J. Pančić s.n. ( PAD barcode H0022800 !).

Note:—The specimen selected here as lectotype consists of a seed envelope and a dried specimen, and is mounted on the same sheet as PAD barcode H 0022796. Data from the label perfectly corresponds to the protologue and the specimen is clearly recognisable in the illustration. This species was already cultivated by Pančić in 1863, which we discovered from a letter to Visiani dating 14 July 1863. The name is still generally accepted (Euro+Med 2015, Niketić 2014).
