Abstract
The nothospecies Galatella × tzvelevii Vasjukov et Saksonov (Asteraceae), derived from a hybridization of G. biflora (L.) Nees × G. villosa (L.) Rchb. f., was described in 2015 from a single flowering specimen in the Samara Region. While working at the I.I. Sprygin Herbarium (RKM) of Penza State University, we discovered another specimen of this nothospecies, designated here as the epitype of the name of this taxon. Characters supplementing the morphological description of the nothospecies given in the protologue, as well as characteristics of the parental species, are discussed. A new locality for G. × tzvelevii from the Republic of Bashkortostan is also presented.
