Dianthus tenuifolius Schur
|
Individuals like in the photographs below are included in Dianthus tenuifolius Schur which is now a synonym of Dianthus carthusianorum L. according with Flora Europaea on line but not with the Romanian flora books. Indeed the single valid characters of Dianthus tenuifolius were the lamina of the petal as long as calyx, calicinal bracts as long as the calyx (not 2/3 from its length) and the basal leaves narrower than 1mm, which were however extremely unstable even in the case of the samepopulation and frequently in the same individual (especially the width of the basal leaves and the length of the calicinal bracts) and were found also in the subalpine and boreal populations of Dianthus carthusianorum across Central Europe. We expect that also Dianthus henteri Heuff. to become a synonym of Dianthus carthusianorum at a thorough study since its separation criteria are also very variable and weak.Cheile Sugaului natural reservation area, in Cheile Bicazului - Haghimas National Park area, Haghimas/Hasmas/Curmaturii Mountains, Neamt county, 12th of August 2010. dr.
