Campanula oreadum Boiss. & Heldr.
Synonymy
Taxon info
Campanula oreadum is one of several new species discovered by Heldreich on an excursion to Mt Olimbos in 1851. It is locally abundant in crevices of limestone cliffs in the summit area of Mt Olimbos, occurring right up to 2900 m. It has also been collected once on Mt Pieria. Campanula oreadum, believed to be a local endemic at alpine levels on Mt Olimbos, has been reported by Teofilovski (2011) from a locality in the Voras massif, just N of the border on the F. Y. R. Makedonija side. It is a large limestone outcrop which you can see 1-2 km N of the border from Dobro Polje. The latter plants are slightly deviating but presumably conspecific with C. oreadum. In Teofilovski (2011, p. 121) there is a photo which indeed seems to show C. oreadum A, B.
