This is the worst example of wrongly given geographic denomination for a species. While this is the emblem of the Fagaras Mountains in the Meridional Carpathians, being strictly endemic there, this taxon was named after the Dinarian Mountains in the western Balkan Peninsula by Christian Konrad Sprengel (1750-1816) due to a confusion.South from Capra Peak, Arges county, 2100m asl, 17th of August 2010. dr.
