about the name	Greek: Σμόλικας , Smólikas Óros
wrong name	Smolika, Smolikas

Hence the wrong name - this is a plant that is quite often to be seen in private collections. It is prized for it's cilia.

It has slightly flatter rosettes than the type with rather more ciliate hair on the rosette leaves.
