ID remarks:
See Wilmott (in J. Bot. 54: 257-262. 1916) for a discussion of the status of this name. However, no explicit choice of type was made. Treated as a nomen ambiguum by some authors, it has also been applied by others to a taxon in the V. canina L. group. However, Nikitin's formal typification has made V. montana the earliest name for the taxon widely known as V. elatior Fries. See Danihelka & al. (in Taxon 59: 1869. 2010) for a detailed review linked to a formal proposal for the rejection of the name made by van den Hof & al. (in Taxon 59: 1900. 2010). The Committee for Vascular Plants (in Taxon 61: 1110. 2012) recommended acceptance of the proposal.
Location remarks:
"Habitat in Alpibus Lapponiae, Austriae, Baldo."
