During our research on the genus Wolffia (Araceae) in Ukraine, we have investigated the typification status of the Linnaean name Lemna arrhiza (≡ Wolffia arrhiza). This name was typified twice, first using a “neotype” proposed by Landolt in 1994, and then a lectotype designated by Iamonico and Iberite in 2014. The “neotype” (a herbarium specimen pr...

The Herbarium ICH (funds amount to 2,5...
Numerous plant species are expanding their native ranges due to anthropogenic environmental change. Because cytotypes of polyploid complexes often show similar morphologies, there may be unnoticed range expansions (i.e. cryptic invasions) of one cytotype into regions where only the other cytotype is native.

The fundamental value of universal nomenclatural systems in biology is that they enable unambiguous scientific communication. However, the stability of these systems is threatened by recent discussions asking for a fairer nomenclature, raising the possibility of bulk revision processes for "inappropriate" names. It is evident that such proposals co...

False flax (Camelina sativa, Brassicaceae), an emerging biofuel oilseed crop, demonstrates a very limited genetic diversity, which conditioned the high scientific interest to its closest wild relative, C. microcarpa, which is suitable for interspecific hybridization with C. sativa. However, C. microcarpa (as currently understood) is a genetically n...
Currently, about 20% of the territory of Ukraine is not available for scientific research due to due to military action (from 2014 till now).
