Dianthus banaticus (Heuff.) Borbas
|
A highly controversial taxon which was once subordinated as a subspecies to Dianthus giganteus D'Urv. but from which it differs a lot. In our opinion it is much more related to Dianthus carthusianorum L. as actually the original discoveror of the taxon considered (Dianthus carthusianorum L. var. banaticus Heuffel). It is also rather clear that it is closely related also with Dianthus cruentus Grisebach, which is the replacer of Dianthus carthusianorum L. in the Balkans and western Turkey. Most probably this species / subspecies will be soon found also in Serbia.Biliana calcareous massif, near Arjana peak, Cerna Mountains, Caras-Severin county, July 2009. dr.
