Title: Origin and distribution area
Post by: Catwheazle on February 11, 2024, 10:46:01 AM

Hello, I have problems with the classification of Pilous seedlings (good seed, good germination!) compared to the description in the book by Janis Ruksans. 1) C. mazziaricus. Saita's origin is stated to be in the Peloponnese. But “Saitas” is unknown to Google Maps. Next: C. reticulatus. Zadar, Dalmatia is specified. According to Ruksans' book, the distribution seems to be around the Black Sea. (not on the Adriatic). Can someone help me with this?

Greetings
Bernd
