42. S. pentadactylis Lapeyr. View in CoL , Fig. FI. Pyr. 64 (1801).
Leaves only slightly viscid, deeply 3- to 5-lobed; median lobe 5-12 mm, linear, obtuse, undivided; all segments sulcate. Flowering stems 6-20 cm. Petals c. 4 mm, broadly obovate-oblong, contiguous. Distinct in its small flowers and narrow, sulcate leaf-segments. Rocks and screes, usually above 1800 m; calcifuge. • E. Pyrenees, and mountains of C. and N.C. Spain. Ga Hs.
Specimens from the Sierra de Gredos and Sierra de Guadarrama, which constitute var. willkommiana (Boiss. ex Leresche & Levier) Engler & Irmscher , differ from the Pyrenean specimens in their more robust habit, lighter green, softer, more viscid and less conspicuously sulcate leaves, with broader segments and petiole; they show some approach to 43 (b) and perhaps deserve subspecific status.
S. losana Sennen, Butll. Inst. Catalana Hist. Nat. 32:113 (1932), a little-known plant from N. Spain (provinces of Alava and Logrono), resembles 42 in its obtuse leaf-segments with sessile glands; but in habit and leaf-shape (leaves 3-fid with short segments and broad petiole) it is more like 50.
