Dianthus pancicii Velen.
Placement status: name or taxon excluded (unspecific) (No material from Greece has been seen, hence disregarded. Collections from NC, initially reported by Strid (1986: 199) as D. tristis, belong to D. cruentus (rev. A. Strid). Unsubstantiated records for Greece (Greuter & al. 1984: 195; Tutin & al. 1993: 236, under D. tristis), accepted in Euro+Med (2006–), are based on the imprecise “Ma” (for Macedonia) in Hayek (1924: 234, 236). D. pancicii Velen. 1886 antedates the conspecific D. tristis Velen. 1890. An alleged earlier homonym D. pancicii F.N. Williams (Tutin & al. 1993: 236) does not exist but was erroneously inferred from D. capitatus var. pancicianus F.N. Williams (in J. Bot. 23: 342. 1885), a synonym of Dianthus capitatus subsp. andrzejowskianus (see Excluded Taxa).)
