Revis. Antirrhineae, 321. 1988.

Introduced
Basionym: Linaria macedonica Grisebach Spic. Fl. Rumel. 2: 19. 1844
Synonyms: L. dalmatica var. macedonica (Grisebach) Vandas
Treatment appears in FNA Volume 17. Treatment on page 30.

Bracts usually shorter than fruiting pedicels. Pedicels 7–22 mm in flower, (7–) 12–32 mm in fruit. Calyx lobes ovate to linear-lanceolate, (1.9–) 3–9.5 × (0.9–) 1–3 mm in flower, 4–9 (–11) × 1.5–4 mm in fruit. Corollas 30–49 mm; spurs straight, 18–30 mm, subequal to or longer than rest of corolla. 2n = 12 (Europe).


Phenology: Flowering May–Sep.
Habitat: Disturbed places, open banks.
Elevation: 50–2000 m.

Distribution

Introduced; Ont., Colo., Idaho, Mich., N.H., Utah, Wash., Wyo., s Europe

Discussion

J. F. Alex (1962) noted that, after his study of over 200 specimens from North America, he was convinced that var. macedonica, native to the mountains of the western Balkan Peninsula, was not found in the flora area. Nevertheless, specimens have been seen during this study that, according to the identification key provided by D. A. Sutton (1988), are referable to subsp. macedonica. Whether those specimens with longer corollas and longer fruiting pedicels are extreme phenotypic variations within the typical Linaria dalmatica in North America, or they correspond to an independent introduction of subsp. macedonica, requires additional study; meanwhile, it is preferable to consider the specimens of L. dalmatica with such different extreme characters as subsp. macedonica.
