Systematics

Klasea cretica was placed in the genus monograph by Ludwig Martins within Klasea as the only purple-flowered species in the Schumeria ( Iljin ) L.Martins section, which is otherwise characterized by yellow flowers , while the relationship of Klasea flavescens was classified as belonging to the Demetria section .

This species was named Serratula cichoracea subsp. In 1958 by the British botanist William Bertram Turrill . cretica first described . It was placed in the genus Klasea in 1977 by the Czech botanist Josef Holub and raised to the rank of species. This classification was only recognized in 2006 through the work of Ludwig Martins. Another synonym is Klasea flavescens subsp. cretica ( Turrill ) Greuter & Wagenitz . The generic name honors the Swedish doctor Lars Magnus Klase (1722–1766).
