77. S. erioblasta Boiss. & Reuter View in CoL in Boiss., Diagn. Pl. Or. Nov. 3 (2): 67 (1856).

Leafy shoots short, densely caespitose, forming a compact cushion. Leaves 3-6 mm, entire or shortly 3-lobed with obtuse lobes, glandular-hairy. Summer-dormant buds very numerous, subglobular, sessile, usually densely white-villous at the apex. Flowering stems c. 5 cm, slender, with 3-5 flowers. Sepals and petals as in 75. In = 34. Limestone rocks and screes. Mountains of S.E. Spain. Hs.

Often united with 75, but its distinctive characters are constant in cultivation. It is possibly, however, a subspecies of S. spathulata Desf. , Fl. Atl. 1: 342 (1798), from N. Africa, which has similarly shaped leaves, but is much laxer and less hairy.
