Abstract
A lectotype of the name <em>Ramonda serbica </em>Panč. is designated from Pančić's specimens held in the Hungarian Natural History Museum in Budapest (BP) and illustrated.
Highlights
The European Gesneriaceae are represented by three endemic genera which are considered to be Tertiary relics (Meyer 1970)
They are the two monotypic genera Haberlea Friv. (Frivaldszky 1835) and Jankaea ‘Jancaea’ Boiss. (Boisser 1875) which occur in the Balkan Peninsula, and Ramonda Rich. (Richard 1805) which comprises three species: R. nathaliae Panč. et Petrov. and R. serbica Panč., which occur in the Balkan Peninsula and R. myconi (L.) Rchb. which occurs in the Iberian Peninsula
The aim of this paper is to lectotypify the name Ramonda serbica. It was described from Serbia (Pančić 1874) and occurs in Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro (Stevanović et al 1986a, 1991; Stevanović and Bulić 1992)
