The herbarium sheet, with three specimens, that we found in PRC has an original herbarium label with  Tausch’s handwriting: "  Centaurea -?, e Dalmat. Sber. capit: parvus ovoideus divaricatum ". Tausch usually shortened geographical names: "e Dalmat." refers to specimens collected in eastern Dalmatia, while  “Sber.” refers to the collector (i.e. Sieber). In addition, he provided a short morphological description. Later, to the same herbarium label, the identification [=  C. punctata Vis.] was added. This was probably done by V. Kosteletzky (pers. observ. by curator P. Mraz). The fourth specimen on the sheet belongs to  C. spinosociliata and it is correctly identified on a separate herbarium label by A. Hayek. Here we select the central specimen, which fits  Tausch’s description, as lectotype for the name  C. glaberrima . One year later, Visiani (1829) described  C. punctata from Duare [Zadvarje] in Dalmatia. We consulted the type specimen in PAD (PAD - HD02644), which fits  Visiani’s description given in the protologue. In fact, the morphology of the specimen perfectly corresponds to  Tausch’s description of  C. glaberrima . Therefore, we here designate this specimen as a lectotype and include the name  C. punctata as a synonym of  C. glaberrima .</p><p>Iconography.</p><p>Figs 5, 6; Tav. 11, Visiani, Fl.

It is currently distributed in a very narrow coastal belt of ca. 0.5 km2, so it has a restricted area of occupancy and only one location, but as its growing site is very steep and quite inaccessible, which makes the population unthreatened by any human disturbance, it does not qualify for subcriterion D2.</p><p>Chromosome number.</p><p>According to  Lovrić (1982, 1983) and Van Loon (1987) the ploidy level of  C. lovricii, previously attributed to "  C. glaberrima var. issaea ", is tetraploid with 2 n = 4 x = 36 chromosomes, similarly to that of the allied species  C. glaberrima and  C. divergens (Siljak-Yakovlev et al. 2005). According to  Boršić (2013) the estimated ploidy level for "  C. issaea " is also tetraploid.</p><p>Discussion.</p><p>Within  Centaurea subsect. Centaurea,  C. lovricii is most similar to  C. glaberrima, particularly in the morphology of its capitula and phyllaries.  Centaurea glaberrima is a species occurring in several localities in the north-western Balkans ( Nikolić et al. 2015). However, these two species show some significant differences in habit and the morphology of their leaves, capitula and achenes (Table 1). In particular,  C. glaberrima (Figs 5, 6) has a more robust and rigid habit, stems with up to 80 capitula, rigid basal leaves with leaflets linear-filiform (0.5-2 mm wide), involucre 6-10 mm long, with phyllaries up to 8 mm long, appendages straw-coloured, often tinged with pale-brown, with sparse fimbriae, outermost sterile florets with corolla tube 6-6.5 mm long and pappus bristles 0.2-0.8 mm long. In addition, the two species have different ecological requirements.  Centaurea glaberrima usually behaves as a ruderal plant growing along roadsides, in dry rocky grasslands and occasionally also in rupestrian stands, whereas  C. lovricii is a true chasmophyte in coastal stands. A population genetic study of some endemic Adriatic species of  Centaurea using AFLPs was carried out by  Boršić (2013), who showed the distinctness of the population from the island of Vis (sub  C. issaea) from  C. glaberrima, but also concluded that this population shows evidence of introgression with  C. glaberrima and  C. spinosociliata . A phylogeny based on nrDNA internal transcribed spacer sequences revealed that  C. lovricii still has an unclear phylogenetic position among the species of  C. sect. Centaurea included in this study ( Boršić 2013).</p><p>Another morphologically similar species is  C. divergens (Fig. 6), which is often treated as a subspecies or variety of  C. glaberrima ( Malý 1928; Hayek 1931;  Lovrić 1967-1968;  Dostál 1976;  Gavrilović and  Janaćković 2022), but its treatment as a distinct species, as proposed by Visiani (1847) and Hayek (1901), seems to be more appropriate (see Table 1). It differs from  C. lovricii in having a hispid stem, rigid and dull green basal leaves with linear-filiform leaflets (0.5-2 mm wide), a 6-10 mm long involucre, phyllaries that are up to 8 mm long, with up to 2 mm long fimbriae, outermost sterile florets with a 5.5-6 mm long corolla tube, and up to 1.1 mm long pappus bristles. They are also ecologically well differentiated, because  C. divergens is usually a typical ruderal species, while  C. lovricii is a chasmophyte.</p><p>A nomenclatural overview and lectotype designation for  C. glaberrima and  C. divergens, species closely related to  C. lovricii, are here provided:</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E9F3550B341D59EFB64172733B71BB37	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
