Notes: Armeria villosa subsp. bernisii is endemic to mountain ranges in Granada and Almería in southern Spain. In Andalucía six subspecies of Armeria villosa are recognized and all of them bear white flowers. Other subspecies are: Armeria villosa subsp. villosa, Armeria villosa subsp. longiaristata, Armeria villosa subsp. carratracens, Armeria villosa subsp. provillosa and Armeria subsp. alcaracensis. Flora ibérica considers Armeria villosa subsp. bernisii possibly to be hybrid from Armeria villosa subsp. longiaristata and Armeria filicaulis.
