I thinkthis is the right place to post this question
I found these two species of Soldanella in catalogues but I cannot find it in any official literature, does anybody know if they are species in their own right or if they are misnamed:
Soldanella cyanaster
Soldanella grandiflora
Thanks
Wim

Hi John,
thanks for the offer.
I have that key too but there isn't any mention of Soldanella grandiflora or Soldanella cyanaster on it either and I was wondering if anyone here knew if these names are used for another species.

Wim, I saw the name S. cyanaster the first time med. 1990 in a Swiss nursery.
I think it was only used on the continent then.
I googled the following links for you:
http://webpub.byu.net/lbzhang/Soldanella_nomen.pdf
http://www.amjbot.org/cgi/content/full/88/12/2331
I see the name has changed in S. chrysosticta.
In the first link you will find about S. montana too.
Happy reading

Luit,
thanks for the search. They are some very interesting articles. (stupid of me not to google it first)
I had also mailed Mr. Niederle in the meantime and he sent me this link:
http://math.muni.cz/~niederle/solpage.html
Now
https://is.muni.cz/www/niederle/dripatky/solpageIS.html
There seem to be some inconsistencies between the determination of Zhang/Kadereit and the determination of Niederle. But they both agree on the fact that S. cyanaster is the same as S chrysosticta. And according to Niederle S. grandiflora is probably a garden cultivar.
