Systematics

Currently, the taxonomy of this taxon is much discussed. Splitters treat Cypriot plants as belonging to J. turbinata. However, ranking oscillates between species, subspecies and variety. Pavon & al. (2021) give a useful summary but their proposal to treat the taxon as subspecies is not fully convincing.
