Polygala vulgaris var. gerundensis O. Bolòs & Vigo, Butl. Inst. Catalana Hist. Nat., Secc. Bot. 38 (1): 82. 1974 ≡ Polygala vulgaris subsp. gerundensis (O. Bolòs & Vigo) O. Bolòs, Vigo, Masalles & Ninot, Fl. Manual Països Catalans: 1215. 1990 ≡ Polygala nicaeensis subsp. gerundensis (O. Bolòs & Vigo) Á. M. Hern., Estud. Fl. Sant Llorenç del Munt: 148. 1993 ≡ Polygala nicaeensis subsp. gerundensis (O. Bolòs & Vigo) Mateo & M. B. Crespo, Fl. Abrev. Comun. Valenciana: 430. 1995, isonym (Art. 6.3 Note 2 of the ICN). Type. Spain. “ Prov. De Gerona: Robledales de Maçanes, sobre granito 80 m alt. ”, 4 June 1947, F. Q. s. n. (holotype: BC 104488!). Incidentally, Paiva (2007) wrongly considers P. nicaeensis subsp. caesalpini an illegitimate name and accepts this name for this subspecies. Based on the morphological features of the holotype, we can safely consider P. nicaeensis subsp. gerundensis as a heterotypic synonym of P. nicaeensis subsp. caesalpini. In addition, after the typification the latter name, these two taxa also share the same type locality (Gerona).
