discussion
Notes. – Alyssum montanum is the most variable species in the genus, and numerous infraspecific taxa at various ranks have been recognized. HARTVIG (2002: 210) accepted var. hymettium solely on morphological grounds within Greece, but without extensive population-based and detailed morphological and molecular studies. It is then advisable to reduce the variety to synonymy within subsp. montanum, as done in BRASSIBASE (2019).
