Lower leaves obovate to spathulate, 3-veined, thick and with conspicuous hyaline margin. Inflorescence with (1—)3—7 flowers. Sepals 7-8(-10) mm, narrowly lanceolate, acuminate. Petals 15-20 mm, obovate, with relatively short claw. Capsule much shorter than sepals. Rocky places on mountains. • Balkan peninsula. Al?Bu G r Ju.
