Abstract: 3.2. 2.Poa bulbosa subsp. perligulata var. scholzianaCabi & Soreng var. nov. Type specimen. [Tunisia], Tunesien: Duggar, 12. 4. 1968, H. Scholz 775. (holotype: B, B 10 _ 1234975 [image!]). Diagnosis. Like P. bulbosa var. perligulata, but spikelets bulbiferous. Distribution and ecology. Spain, Tunisia. Mediterranean lowlands from beaches up to 1,000 m. Conservation status. None. Comments. The taxon was previously noted by Scholz (1983 b, p. 17) as “ f. vivipara ”, based on two specimens at B (imaged in October 2026, thanks to Juraj Paule), but without a separate Latin diagnosis, without a Type designation, and without considering the fact that there cannot be two infraspecific taxa with the same name and different types. We here provide the diagnosis, select one of Scholz’s cited “ f. vivipara ” collections at B as the holotype, and provide an epithet honoring Prof. Scholz for his contribution to documenting the bulbiferous form. Representative specimens. Spain. Prov. Alicante, (Puerto La Carrasqueta, 1,000 m, 22 Apr 1967, Scholz et Hiepko 402, p. p. bulbiferous form (“ f. vivipara ” in lit., but earlier {?} annotated as “ Bastard P. bulbosa × ligularis ”) [B 10 1234979 b, image!]). Tunisia. (Type).
