Triglan

I've seen S. calcareum ex Triglan listed in quite a number of growing list.
Triglan - what the heck is this?
Some beleive it's Mount Triglav, the highest peak in Slovenia (2864 m).
Triglav means "three headed" - mountan has three peaks, the middle one is the highest. Italian name for it is Tricorno, German one is Terglau. No one seems to call this mountan Triglan - except by mistake. And this mistake is quite often, don't ask me why.
S. calcareum WAS NEVER endemic to Slovenia, so no matter if you call Triglav Triglan - this plant does not come from Slovenia.
Most people suggest name TRIGLENSIS - as a cultivar name or just a form of S. calcareum.
