Notes

Micromeria dalmatica Benth. in DC. was described from Dalmatia, based on a collection by Visiani. Plants from S Bulgaria, first described as M. origanifolia subsp. bulgarica Velen., were subsequently recombined as M. dalmatica subsp. bulgarica (Velen.) Guinea. The latter taxon occurs also in NE Greece including the island of Thasos. Tutin & al. (1972: 168) recognized M. dalmatica with subsp. dalmatica in "C Jugoslavia" and subsp. bulgarica in S Bulgaria and NE Greece. It has recently been demonstrated that M. dalmatica and related species (including M. taygetea) are better placed in Clinopodium than in Micromeria (Brauchler & al. 2006). The taxon is thus recombined in Clinopodium (Raus & Strid in Raab-Straube & Raus 2019).
