Comments	The meaning of «Juni 1980» is unclear. The plant must be collected before 1977-03-31, as Rauh received the plant on that date according to inventory book EGB 28,28. Maybe the plant bloomed for the first time in June 1980 so that a specimen of a blooming plant could be fixed. On the label of the Holotype specimen Rauh indicated «1977» as gathering date, whereas «Juni 1980» is not to be found on the label. [CNS 2015-11-26]
