S. cryptophila Boiss. & Heldr. in Boiss., Diagn. ser. 1(2): 31 (1853). Syn: S.praeterita Heywood in Notes R.B.G. Edinb. 21:83 (1952)! Map 42, p. 619. Perennial, 50-175 cm, ± villous, branched at base. Petiole of lower leaves 5-7 cm; lamina 4.5-15 x 2.5-5 cm, broadly ovate with deeply cordate to truncate base; apex ± obtuse; margin crenate-mucronate, bicrenate or doubly dentate; upper leaves shortly petiolate, broadly ovate. Inflorescence foliate; bracts ovate to triangular, uppermost ± rhomboidal. Cymes 5-9-flowered; peduncle 2.5-5 cm; alar pedicels 5-12 mm, glandular. Calyx lobes triangular to broadly ovate, 2-3.5 x 1.5-2 mm, glabrous (very rarely slightly pubescent). Corolla pale greenish-red, 5-8 mm. Stamens long exserted; staminode absent. Capsule broadly ovate to subglobose, mucronate, 5-6 x 5 mm, glabrous. 2n = 44. Fl. 6-8. Shady rock ledges and cliffs on limestone, waste places, ruins, 600-2050 m.

Medit. element? Most closely related to S. kotschyana, from which it is readily separated by glabrous calyx and capsules. S. praeterita, which Heywood considered to be allied to S. vernalis, is here considered synonymous with S. cryptophila. A specimen from C2 Muğla (Girdev G., 1760 m, D. 13754!) resembles S. cryptophila but differs in having calyx lobes with a very narrow scarious margin. Heywood (op, cit. 77, 1952) recognized this specimen as a distinct form of S. cryptophila.
