SERPENTINICUM var. GIGANTEUM (Eggli) 't Hart, 1999

Synonym : Rosularia serpentinica var. gigantea  Eggli (1987)

Distribution : South-western Turkey (only known from the type locality near Marmaris), 150 m.

Larger in all parts.

Rosettes to 11 cm in diameter, usually solitary.

Inflorescences to 35 cm long, with up to 120 flowers.

Due to the large rosettes and the long leaves a well-differentiated taxon. Its occurrence at low altitudes is an exception, as all other taxa of the genus occur at altitudes above 1000 m.
