Remarks
doi:10.3897/phytokeys.241.119144 Etymology: the epithet commemorates Sappho, the most famous poetess of the Classical Hellenic Era and refers to the traditional (though non-historical) believe she suicidally threw herself from the white cliffs of Lefkátas because of unrequited love for beautiful young Phaon. The epithet is a noun in the genitive.
