( A. graeca (Boiss.) Halâcsy ):

Plant usually more densely hairy with longer, stouter hairs. Leaves 5-10 mm, elliptical, ovate or ovate-lanceolate. Sepals ovate, acute. Petals almost twice as long as sepals. Capsule slightly shorter than sepals. • C. & S. Greece.

Plants growing on marble at 2300-2400 m in S.W. Bulgaria (Pirin Planina ) with obtuse, subsessile leaves, very short pedicels, petals l | -l i as long as the sepals and capsules slightly shorter than the sepals have been called A. pirinica Stoj. , Bull.

Plants from N.E. Greece (Pangaion) are very like (b) but have the lowest pair of bracts cordate or truncate (not cuneate) at the base; they have been called A. teddii Turrill, Kew Bull. 1936: 100 (1936), but are perhaps best included in (b).
