Judging from my material, the characters distinguishing P njprius Boiss. Fl. orient. ("Grumæ 

 oblongo-cylindricæ, petioli basi magis dilatati") are not constant enough to give the plant growing on 

 Troodos rank as a separate variety. 



Near the top of Chionistra, inundated by water from the melting snow (UK, JH 970).
