description: We investigate the formation and evolutionary sequences of Galactic intermediate- and low-mass X-ray binaries (I/LMXBs) by combining binary population synthesis (BPS) and detailed stellar evolutionary calculations. Using an updated BPS code we compute the evolution of massive binaries that leads to the formation of incipient I/LMXBs, and present their distribution in the initial donor mass vs. initial orbital period diagram. We then follow the evolution of I/LMXBs until the formation of binary millisecond pulsars (BMSPs). We find that the birthrate of the I/LMXB population is in the range of $ 9\times10^{-6} - 3.4\times10^{-5} \, {\rm yr^{-1}}$, compatible with that of BMSPs which are thought to descend from I/LMXBs. We show that during the evolution of I/LMXBs they are likely to be observed as relatively compact binaries with orbital periods $ \lesssim $ 1 day and donor masses $\lesssim 0.3 M_{\odot}$. The resultant BMSPs have orbital periods ranging from less than 1 day to a few hundred days. These features are consistent with observations of LMXBs and BMSPs. We also confirm the discrepancies between theoretical predications and observations mentioned in the literature, that is, the theoretical average mass transfer rates ($ \sim 10^{-10} M_{\odot} $\,yr$^{-1}$) of LMXBs are considerably lower than observed, and the number of BMSPs with orbital periods $\sim 0.1-10$ day is severely underestimated. These discrepancies imply that something is missing in the modeling of LMXBs, which is likely to be related to the mechanisms of the orbital angular momentum loss.

description: This paper presents the monitoring results of a PV system integrated into the façade of an office building situated in
the city center of Bolzano (Italy). Data regarding PV production, climatic characteristics and module temperature
have been collected for a six months period.
The temperature reached by the modules is, as expected and confirmed by monitored data that registered a peak of
57.4°C, one critical aspect of this BIPV system since it is integrated into the façade without ventilation.
Simulations show that, considering one single day, ventilation of the modules could enhance the power production of
3.5%.
In order to verify the correspondence between simulations and monitored values, a comparison considering one
single day was carried out: the mathematical model used by the software for simulations, manages to predict the PV
array irradiation and the average temperature of the modules with good accuracy (respectively -2% and +0.2%),
while the power production is strongly underestimated (-20%).This could be due to several reasons that are discussed
in the paper.

 Lectotype (designated here):— BULGARIA. Sofia province: Na lukách na Vitoši, August 1885, J. Velenovský s.n (PRC no. 768, barcode 451933!). Figure 3.
 Other original material examined:— BULGARIA. Am höchsten Vitoš [at the highest of Vitoša], August 1885, J. Velenovský s.n. (BP 757780!).
 Note:— We found two herbarium specimens belonging to the original material, which can be regarded as syntypes. Both were collected in August 1885 by Velenovský on Mountain Vitoša, but probably not at the same place. The plants on these herbarium sheets feature well developed diagnostic characters of the species, i.e. very long, pilose and undulating awns of lemmas and paleas. We designate the specimen from PRC as lectotype, since Charles University, where PRC is located, was the home institution of Velenovský where his most important material is deposited.

description: The goal of this paper is to investigate the distribution of saw damage on the wafer after slurry based
multi-wire sawing of silicon ingots. Roughness and crack depth distributions were determined at different positions
on the wafer surface. From these parameters the size distribution of single chipping events by the abrasive SiC
particles in the slurry can be estimated. Furthermore the influence of the sawing conditions on roughness and crack
depth distributions were studied. From our results we conclude that both roughness and crack depth distributions
correlate to the model of rolling and indenting abrasive particles. Additionally our experimental findings support the
conception of successively flushing abrasive particles out of the cut zone under the wire. In particular the fraction of
the biggest SiC particles in the particle size distribution leaves the cut zone from wire inlet to wire outlet.

description: Based on the fact that the construction sector and architects claim for new products for PV building
integration in order to create projects with high visibility and aesthetics, we have focussed on the development of a
PV module that is rather conceived as construction product. Thus, more the standards of glass for construction has
been taken into account before looking at the common PV standards. The aim is to offer to architects high design
flexibility combining the traditional functions of a building envelope with green electricity generation and modern
glass design. Apart from technically adpating BIPV-products, intensive promotion campaigns should be driven, as
lack of knowledge seems to be a major barrier for PV use in construction projects. To do so, a catalogue of
innovative design options has been developed and first projects have been done that could serve as show-cases. The
main innovations offered deal with aesthetics above all, e.g. inclusion of translucent colors in the PV module, but
also with eaasier electrical interconnection when using edge terminals.
This contribution describes these developments for PV architecture and shows some concrete projects where
they already have been implemented and first results and feedback from users is being gathered.

description: Proteins and peptides can aggregate and misfold into long twisted fibrils called amyloids. This phenomenon leads to toxicity and cell degeneration and contributes to a range of human diseases, including type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. This thesis is focused on understanding the relationship between amyloidosis and immunogenicity, as well as the role of nanoparticle inhibitors in mitigating protein fibrillation, toxicity and dysregulation that are associated with amyloid diseases, in vitro, in silico and in vivo. This research sheds new light on the mechanisms of amyloidosis and facilitates the development of nanomedicines against debilitating amyloid diseases.

description: The innovated method using an extra-firm frame of polyurethane was developed for design of photovoltaic (PV) modules. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were applied as antireflective and protective coatings on the surface of PV cells. The polymetilmetacrylate (PMMA) layer was used as additional protection of PV cells. The PMMA layer pre-coated with DLC film of high microhardness was used for additional protection of PV cells against environmental exposures. The developed modules are lightweight, cost-effective and their structure is highly competitive in firmness with metal frames.
Econometric Estimation of Consumer Responses to Personal Transportation Policies and Technologies

description: Transportation is the largest contributing sector of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United States (US). I present three works that focus on ways in which policy and technology may influence emissions and other external costs associated with the transportation sector. The first study investigates how car and SUV consumer demand for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) has changed over time. My co-authors and I find evidence that technology improvements over the past approximately ten years have led to the increased demand for personal car and SUV BEVs and could contribute greatly to future BEV demand. The second study focuses on pickup truck buyer preferences for BEVs. The associated analysis provides evidence that a sizable majority of truck buyers do not associate negative value with BEV powertrains, but approximately 20% of these consumers find electrified powertrains to significantly reduce a vehicle’s value. Still, evidence suggests that more than 50% of pickup buyers would adopt a BEV pickup with sufficient availability and technological improvement. The last study presented focuses on how policy impacts both personal vehicle fleet size and usage. Using the staggered removal of state safety inspections as an instrument for fleet size, weak-instrument robust estimates suggest that both travel and gas use grow with fleet size but at a ratio lower than 1:1 in the context of safety inspections. This finding can have major implications for a wide range of transportation-related policies. In sum, these three works contribute to the literature by identifying novel estimates of consumer preferences for BEVs over time for car and SUV buyers, the first estimate of pickup truck buyer preferences for electric vehicles, and the first empirical measure of the relationship between fleet size and fleet utilization whenever fleet size is impacted by policy. These three studies shed light on both the future of BEVs in personal transportation as well as how policies might influence the adoption of BEVs and potential implications for GHG emissions and other externalities.

description: The PV industry is expected to reduce its manufacturing costs well below 1 Euro/Wattpeak. Major
technological changes lie ahead of us for manufacturing wafers, solar cells and modules if this cost target is to be met.
The situation will require the same attention as the disruptive introduction of Cu, low-k and high-k materials in the
IC industry over the last 2 decades. In order to focus R&D efforts amongst the plentitude of options, and to speed up
the learning curve, the PV industry (equipment vendors, material suppliers and PV manufacturers) may benefit from
collaborative efforts guided by an ITRS-like roadmap. In this paper we present the IMEC roadmap. The target is to
reduce drastically the amount of pure Si needed per Wp, by combining efficiencies beyond 20 % with aggressive
reductions in wafer thicknesses. In parallel the manufacturing cost has to be reduced by substituting expensive
materials and shortening the manufacturing cycle from quartz sand to module.
Blackbody Radiation from Isolated Neptunes

description: Recent analyses of the orbits of some Kuiper Belt objects hypothesize the presence of an undiscovered Neptune-size planet at a very large separation from the Sun. The energy budget of Neptunes on such distant orbits is dominated by the internal heat released by their cooling rather than solar irradiation (making them effectively "isolated"). The blackbody radiation that these planets emit as they cool may provide the means for their detection. Here we use an analytical toy model to study the cooling and radiation of isolated Neptunes. This model can translate a detection (or a null detection) to a constraint on the size and composition of the hypothesized "Planet Nine". Specifically, the thick gas atmosphere of Neptune-like planets serves as an insulating blanket which slows down their cooling. Therefore, a measurement of the blackbody temperature, $T_{\rm eff}\sim 50\textrm{K}$, at which a Neptune emits can be used to estimate the mass of its atmosphere, $M_{\rm atm}$. Explicitly, we find the relation $T_{\rm eff}\propto M_{\rm atm}^{1/12}$. Despite this weak relation, a measurement of the flux at the Wien tail can constrain the atmospheric mass, at least to within a factor of a few, and provide useful limits to possible formation scenarios of these planets. Finally, we constrain the size and composition of Planet Nine by combining our model with the null results of recent all-sky surveys.
Di-Higgs signatures from R-parity violating supersymmetry as the origin of neutrino mass

description: Motivated by the naturalness and neutrino mass generation, we study a bilinear R-parity violating supersymmetric scenario with a light Higgsino-like lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). We observe that the LSP dominantly decays to $νh$ in a large part of the parameter space, and thus study the pair production of electroweakinos followed by the decays $\tildeχ^\pm_1\to \tildeχ^0_1 W^{\pm*}$ and $\tildeχ^0_1\to νh$. This leads to an interesting signature of Higgs boson pair production associated with significantly large missing transverse energy which is grossly distinct from the di-Higgs production in the Standard Model. We investigate the perspective of probing such signatures by performing a realistic detector level simulation of both the signal and corresponding backgrounds for the high-luminosity high energy phase of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We also advocate some observables based on kinematical features to provide an excellent handle to suppress the backgrounds.

description: Aggregation of human islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) to form amyloid fibrils and plaques is implicated in the dysfunction and death of pancreatic beta cells in type 2 diabetes, a most common form of metabolic disease. Accordingly, this thesis investigated the amyloidosis of IAPP, its self-assembly into toxic aggregation states, and its interactions with proteins and lipids to acquire a ‘protein corona’, a concept pertinent to the targeting of a range of amyloid diseases. Advised by this knowledge, a star polymer was then synthesised to successfully protect pancreatic beta cells and islets from IAPP-mediated toxicity through hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding.

rear p+ emitter. For our laboratory-type n+np+ back junction solar cells (4 cm2) featuring a high-efficiency
front side with evaporated contacts, we have optimised the rear Al-p+ emitter and the phosphorus-diffused n+ front
surface field including the antireflection coating. Thereby, we have obtained an increase in the open-circuit voltage
of around 15 mV, resulting in excellent Voc values for this cell structure above 640 mV and cell efficiencies of
19.8 %. By applying an industrially feasible front metallisation of aerosol-printed and silver-plated contacts, we have
successfully demonstrated the upscaling of our cells to large areas. For our best industrial-type n+np+ solar cell with
front and rear printed contacts, we have achieved a record-high efficiency of 18.2 % (148.5 cm2) on n-type
phosphorus-doped 10 Ωcm monocrystalline silicon material.

 Note:— In the protologue Deyl explicitly cited the material collected by F. Weber near Niže Polje (Deyl 1946: 134). After detailed investigation of the herbarium material in PR, where most of Weber’s material is deposited, as well as other herbaria listed in the “Material and methods”, no such material has been traced. Many specimens collected by Weber and deposited in PR are without labels and their origins could not be determined. We found a specimen collected at almost the same locality as the one stated in the protologue (Niže polje, “ad lacum maiorem”) by Ivan Klášterský. Deyl’s undated annotation label on this specimen lists only the name Sesleria korabensis. This specimen was seen by Deyl before he described the variety in his monograph; however, it is not cited in the protologue and we cannot prove if the description was based on this gathering (it does not belong to the original material according to Art. 9.3), thus we designate it as neotype.

The protologue states: “ Habitat in montibus, subalpinis, alpinisque Transsilvaniae, in rupibus calcareis, 5000–7000 ped. alta ”. However, for the infraspecific forms described in the same place he did cite precise localities, which he used later while labelling the specimens collected in Transylvania. Unfortunately, Schur used plant names and localities freely and with a lot of confusion (Pifkó 2009). Given the confusing label information, we cannot identify original material with confidence. Therefore, we designate the specimen B 10 0367409 as a neotype. This specimen was collected in Transylvania and contains the unambiguous identification “ Sesleria haynaldiana ” in Schur’s handwriting.

description: Probabilistic cellular automata (PCA) are used to model a variety of discrete spatially extended systems undergoing parallel-updating. We propose an embedding of a number of classical nonequilibrium concepts in the PCA-world. We start from time-symmetric PCA, satisfying detailed balance, and we give their Kubo formula for linear response. Close-to-detailed balance we investigate the form of the McLennan distribution and the minimum entropy production principle. More generally, when time-symmetry is broken in the stationary process, there is a fluctuation symmetry for a corresponding entropy flux. For linear response around nonequilibria we also give the appropriate formula which is now not only entropic in nature.

description: We have obtained imaging polarimetry of the comet C/2013 R1 (Lovejoy) with 2-Channel-Focal-Reducer Rozhen instrument at 2m Ritchey-Chrétien-Coudé telescope of the Bulgarian National Astronomical Observatory Rozhen in two dust continuum filters covering wavelength intervals clear from molecular emissions and centred at $4430Å$ in (blue filter) and at $6840Å$ in (red filter). In imaging mode we measured the degree of linear polarisation $17.01\pm0.09$% in the blue and $18.81\pm0.02$% in the red, which is in a very good agreement with measurements of other comets at the similar phase angle. We have also obtained polarisation maps in both filters. We found a strong correlation between the spatial distribution of the polarisation and the dust colour. Spectropolarimetry of the nucleus region shows an increase of the polarisation with wavelength, and a depolarisation in the spectral regions with gas emission lines, most noticeable in C$_2$ emission band, which shows a polarisation of $6.0\pm1.1$%.

description: Wet chemical processes are widely used within crystalline silicon solar cell production, mainly for
surface texturing and cleaning purposes. Whereas research has been focusing mainly on process development in the
past, only little progress could be observed in terms of process control techniques. Within the paper current state-ofthe-
art wet chemical production processes are discussed and process control and quality assurance procedures
(chemical, optical and electrical characterization of the wafers) are proposed. Purpose of the advanced
characterization techniques is an enhancement of the process quality as well as an increase in high quality production
yield. Further on, future industrial high efficiency cell processing necessitates cost effective, high quality cleaning
processes especially prior to any surface passivation step. Starting from the well known semiconductor cleaning
sequences, the paper motivates process simplifications and adaptations suitable for PV mass production.

were used. In addition the effect on the performance of a-SixC1-x:H(n)/c-Si(p) heterojunction solar cells were
analyzed. A cleaning sequence consisting of an oxidation in hot deionized water and a subsequent etch-back of the
thin oxide in ammonium fluoride (NH4F) was found to provide a smooth Si(111) surface with a low defect density
compared to standard cleaning sequences. Incorporation of the cleaning sequence in the processing of amorphouscrystalline
heterojunction solar cells on textured substrates leads to an increase in the open-circuit voltage as well as
the pseudo fill factor.

description: Texturing remains one of the key issues in the industrial fabrication of multicrystalline silicon solar
cells and suitable texturing methods to optimize cell performance are still being developed. Laboratory-based cells
have set the efficiency records using acidic and reactive ion etching through a photolithographically patterned
dielectric mask. This paper looks at a novel method for texturing surfaces of multicrystalline wafers which may be
more suitable for commercial production. Inkjet printing is used as an alternative to photolithography to pattern
dielectric layers, allowing chemical etching of silicon and the fabrication of honey-comb and also u-groove surface
structures. The performance of inkjet texturing on multicrystalline wafers is analysed by reflection measurements and
compared to chemically polished multicrystalline wafers and isotexturing, a technique predominantly used in the
industry today.

description: A fabrication process for EWT-cells on monocrystalline material with high quality gap passivation by wet
thermal silicon dioxide is investigated. Masking steps are performed by screen-printing and via-holes are created by highspeed
laser drilling. The screen-printed aluminum paste is found to penetrate the underlying thermal dioxide layer at
appropriate contact firing conditions leading to a zone of high recombination in the overlap region of aluminum and silicon
dioxide. It is shown that conventional PECVD-anti-reflection silicon nitride acts as effective protection layer reducing the
recombination in this region. A selective doping structure fabricated in a single high temperature step allowing for a high
via-hole conductivity, the use of silver paste to establish the contact on the rear side and a high quantum efficiency in the low
wave-length range is introduced. Therefore either doped or undoped PECVD silicon dioxide layers are deposited on the front
side, and it is shown that advantageous doping profiles can be achieved. Conversion efficiencies up to 18.8% on FZ material
are obtained applying the single step side selective emitter fabrication technique.

description: 25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition / 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion, 6-10 September 2010, Valencia, Spain; 5074-5076
description: The Solar Campus Project was conducted in Taiwan since 2006. 40 elementary schools and Junior high
schools have progressively completed their PV systems from March 2007 to January 2008. Each system capacity is in the
range of 3.12~3.7kWp and the total capacity is 135.4kWp. System yields and failures are investigated in the present study.
32 PV systems are operated at good conditions during the period of July 2008 to June 2009, and their average daily mean
yield is 3.48kWh/day/kWp in that period. Among the 40 PV systems, 13 PV systems had experienced component failures
in their first operation durations of 18 to 27 months. The main causes of the component failures for the 13 PV systems are
inverter failure, 23.08% of occurrences, and string blocking diode failure, 15.39% of occurrences. The average
availability of the 40 PV systems is 97.40%. Most of the fault systems have been repaired due to the on-site
investigations of the present study.

description: Family Galenidae Alcock, 1898
Remarks. Galene has been classified in the Xanthidae (e.g., Balss 1957; Glaessner 1969; Takeda 1976), whereas Guinot (1969a, 1969b, 1969c, 1971) assigned Galene to “ Goneplacidae pilumniens sensu lato ”. This suggestion was followed by a number of scholars (Ng 1998; Schweitzer 2000; Ng e t al. 2001; Hsueh & Huang 2002; Ng et al. 2008), who classified Galene within (or close to) the Pilumnidae. Ng et al. (2008) summarized the taxonomic history of Galenidae, which was included in the superfamily Pilumnoidea.
The family Galenidae Alcock, 1898, as currently recognized, consists of four genera (Ng et al. 2008; De Grave et al. 2009; Ng & Guinot 2021; Ng & Mitra 2021): Dentoxanthus Stephensen, 1946; Galene de Haan, 1833; Halimede de Hann, 1835; and Parapanope de Man, 1895. The fossil record of Galenidae is limited to representatives of Galene and Halimede (Schweitzer et al. 2010).
Although there are some difficulties in a detailed morphological diagnosis of Galenidae, Guinot et al. (2013) denote the emergence of the penis from P5 coxo-sternal condyle as a diagnostic trait of this family; however, it is not usually possible to study such fragile elements in fossils.

description: Although the photovoltaic market is currently dominated by crystalline silicon, recent intensive
international research has been focusing on the development of amorphous and polycrystalline thin film solar cells,
based on a-Si:H, CdTe and CI(G)S, offering more scope for production cost reduction. The demand for PV solar
modules has been growing by more than 30 % / year and this trend is set to continue for the foreseeable future.
Despite challenges faced using metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) for device structures onto
polycrystalline or amorphous substrates, consistent cell efficiencies over 10 % (AM1.5) for contact areas of 0.25 cm2
using thin film CdTe have been acheived. Generally, CdTe is deposited both commercially and in laboratories using
physical evaporation techniques such as close space sublimation (CSS) or other elemental vapour transport. While
these processes have fast throughput they lack flexibility in control of dopants when compared to MOCVD. This
paper describes recent results using a research scale horizontal MOCVD reactor for depositing the photovoltaic
structure in a sinlge run from the Cd(Zn)S deposition through to the cadmium chloride (CdCl2) treatment achieving
repeatable and uniform device performance using a dry process. The potential for production scalability of such an
atmospheric-pressure and dry MOCVD process is discussed.
New alloy process development emphasizing high-strength low-alloy steels in laser powder-feed directed energy deposition

description: This work focuses on process development in metals additive manufacturing, specifically investigating high-strength low alloy (HSLA) steels in a directed energy deposition (DED) system. The study examines the effect of process parameters, including laser power, scan speed, and powder feed rate, on melt pool characteristics for 4130 steel. Relationships between independent parameters and single track characteristics such as added material dimensions, powder capture efficiencies, and substrate dilution are established through single track measurements. Layer heights and hatch spacings for multilayer builds are determined based on these findings. This work further compares the impact of open air versus inert argon environments on builds using 4340 steel. It is observed that for the same build parameters, open air builds exhibit overbuilding, while inert argon builds show underbuilding due to lower powder capture efficiency. Adjustments in layer heights and hatch spacings address these issues. Pore and composition analysis of builds with HSLA 4340 and a new higher Cr-content steel reveals the influence of environmental reactions and composition on porosity. Because of this, build environment is then added as another factor influencing single track characteristics. The methodology I propose is material-agnostic. A custom scan strategy is suggested to optimize deposition rates and minimize idle movement of the deposition head. The framework presented offers the potential for high-throughput single track experiments to determine desirable process parameters. Additionally, a separate framework is also reported for new alloy development. Three oxidation resistant alloys are manufactured.

description: Cd-free flexible CIGS solar cells have been fabricated on two types of Ti foil substrates with rough and smooth
surfaces. It is found that the surface smoothness of Ti foil is one of the most important issues to achieve high-efficiency
flexible CIGS solar cells. The addition of a 10nm-thick ZnO thin layer sputter-deposited in pure Ar on a ZnS(O,OH) buffer
layer improved the Voc and efficiency of relatively-thin CIGS devices and reduced a deviation of cell parameters of each
fabrication run. However, CIGS devices fabricated by ZnO sputtering in a mixture of oxygen and Ar gas were deteriorated by
plasma damage. Temperature dependence of Voc revealed that the bulk recombination is predominant for high-efficiency
ZnS(O,OH)/CIGS devices, suggesting the small conduction band offset. In contrast the interface recombination is
predominant for low-efficiency devices presumably because of the formation of defects during ZnO sputtering. By
optimizing fabrication conditions the best flexible ZnS(O,OH)/CIGS solar cell yielded a total-area efficiency of 17.7 %
which is a highest value so far among flexible CIGS devices.

description: Internet use is a necessity for many people, however more than half the world's population has never made a telephone call. The Internet is one of the most significant phenomena in the history of humankind, influencing the future of communication, employment, entertainment and information. Emerging business opportunities and industries will be created while others will change immensely or even cease to exist. Current debate surrounding Internet use relates to divisions between the information rich and information poor. Many women have not yet ventured on to the Internet for a wide range of reasons and it is these barriers that are the focus of this research. The present research explores the responses, experiences and opinions of 100 women from around the world in relation to perceived barriers to women's Internet use and strategies for increasing women's Internet use. All women volunteered to complete a questionnaire which was posted on two women -only electronic discussion groups on the Internet. The findings from the data were analysed in relation to a number of areas influencing women's Internet use including the perceived importance of their use, common barriers to their use, social implications for women's Internet use, and strategies for increasing Internet use by women. The main Internet uses identified were for work, information sourcing, communicating with others and networking. The main barriers identified were time, cost and difficulty in understanding the language associated with the medium. The social implications for women's use and lack of use of the Internet is an extremely important element of this study. It is imperative that the Internet does not serve to promote and compound patriarchal practices and cultures. It is also important that the Internet not serve as a medium to suppress access to information to various socio-cultural groups through enabling greater unequitable access to information by the privileged and 'information elite'.

description: Sesleria klasterskyi Deyl (1946: 144)
 Lectotype (designated here):— BULGARIA. Blagoevgrad province: Pirin Mountain, ad oppidium Bansko [beside the town Bansko], Vallis [valley] Banderica, ca [circa] 1900 m, solo calcareo [only calcareous rocks], 6 July 1936, I. Klášterský & M. Deyl s.n. (PR 161801!). Figure 5.
 Other original material examined:— BULGARIA. Blagoevgrad province: Pirin Mountain, ad oppidium Bansko [beside the town Bansko], Vallis [valley] “Banderica”, ca. [circa] 2300 m, solo calcareo [only calcareous rocks], July 1936, I. Klášterský & M. Deyl s.n. (PR 161798!, 161799!)
 Note:—In the protologue Deyl mentioned that he had collected a lot of specimens of this species with Ivan Klášterský on Pirin Mountain, in the valley Banderica in June 1936: “ Habitat in subalpinis montium Pirin planina, in valle Banderica, alt. circa 1850 m, substrato calcareo.” He also pointed out that typically developed plants grow at the altitude of about 1850 m a.s.l. We found three specimens collected in PR in this locality exclusively on calcareous bedrock, which we consider to be original material. Although Deyl said that he collected the material in June, all the specimens have July as collecting date, which is probably a typing error. None of the labels of these specimens have details that correspond completely with the protologue, but the specimen PR 161801 was collected at the closest altitude (ca. 1900 m), so we designate it here as lectotype.
