Anatolia centralis (Lycanonia): Mont Agios Philippos, près de Konia, 30 Apr 1913, B. V. D. Post no. 53. (lectotype, designated by Soreng et al. 2020 b, p. 40: E [E 00367667, excluding lower right specimen]; isolectotypes: G [G 00308664], G [G 00386674]). Description. See varieties descriptions: bulbiferous material = var. iconia; strictly normal flowered material = var. pelasgis. Distribution and ecology. Widespread mainly in southwest Asia: see var. iconia. Conservation status. None. Comments. All the Type material discovered is bulbiferous and their collection labels bear the name “ POA ICONIA Azn. Mss. Forma vivipara ”. The name P. iconia was overlooked and then buried in synonymy of P. bulbosa (Cabi and Doğan 2012) until RJS realized that the morphology of the Type of P. iconia matched plants having Nn genotypes (Soreng and Simmons 2018). Before RJS figured out P. iconia was the oldest name for these plants, he applied P. bulbosa s. l. to short-liguled, strigose-sheathed specimens at ISTE and ANK, and later on (beginning ca. 2014) different binomial and trinomial epithets of P. eigii or P. pelasgis to normal-flowered forms and “ prolifera ” to numerous bulbiferous specimens identified as at B and P, etc. (Cabi et al. 2016; Gillespie et al. 2018).
