Note: Unplaced name and putative hybrid Asperula purpurea × Galium degenii = × Galiasperula ferdinandi-coburgii (J.Wagner) ined.

(1931), but this is a synonym of Galium × himmelbaurianum (Ronniger) Soó, Acta Bot. Acad. Sci. Hung. 12: 117. (1966) and there is no published description of its replacement × Galiasperula ferdinandi-coburgii.
