The name Fritillaria leucantha is usually considered as one of the synonyms of F. verticillata. However, morphological data indicate that this judgment should be reconsidered. In this article, we typify the name F. leucantha, provide its taxonomic history, and provide a detailed description. Based on our review and other data, we determine the spec...

Information on the type specimens of 12 species published as part of the genus Brassica, stored in the general sector of the Herbarium of Higher Plants department of the V. L.

The presented study is an addition to Volume 2(3) of the “Caucasian Flora Conspectus” on the genus Rorippa, which shows the taxonomic nomenclature and geographical distribution of three species: Rorippa prolifera, R. dubia and R. indica. The first of them is indicated for the flora for the first time, the second and third were known, but they were...

The memoirs of colleagues and excerpts from archival documents related to the life of Georgy Ivanovich Rodionenko served as material for this generalization. The name of Georgy Ivanovich is widely known among botanists of our country and all over the world. Georgy Ivanovich, first of all, is known to everyone as the creator of the Iridarium of the...

The year 2022 marks the 130th anniversary of the birth and the 60th anniversary of the death of one of the most remarkable directors of a large number of botanical scientific institutions, Pavel Aleksandrovich Baranov. His life was devoted to the creation and development of the Central Asian State University (SAGU), the Botanical Institute of SAGU,...

Allium pallasii Murr. var. nitidulum Fisch. et Regel was assigned species status (A. nitidulum Fisch.) in 1853 by Ledebour in “Flora Rossica”, being considered as a synonym of Allium pallasii but with no description. Then in 1887 E. Regel considered it as a variety: “Allium pallasii Murr. ß nitidulum teste Rgl.” and highlighted its morphological di...

Numbers by nodes represent bootstrap support (1000 replicates) and Bayesian probabilities. The joint presence of Bayesian probabilities over 0.98 and bootstrap support over 95% is indicated with a black dot. Origin o...

With this paper we continue a new annual series, the main purpose of which is to make significant floristic findings from Russia and neighboring countries more visible in Russia and abroad. In total, this paper presents new records for 48 vascular plant species from 6 Eurasian countries, obtained during field explorations, as well as during taxonom...

The article presents data on the type specimens of the names of 29 validly published taxa of the genus Potentilla L. described from the Caucasus and some adjacent territories, kept in the Herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute RAS (LE). Listed for each taxon are its Latin name with a nomenclatural citation, category of the type specimen(s), f...

An urgent need to use a unified nomenclature for cultivated plants was indicated at the beginning of the 20th century by R.E. Regel, A.I. Malzev, K.A. Flyaksberger. Half a century later, an appendix to the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (Stockholm, 1952) published the first formulated rules for naming cultivated plants, which provided...

The genera Hymenolobus and Hornungia in the flora of the Caucasus occupy a special place among the Cruciferae. First of all, both genera are relatively close, hence the repeated attempts to unite them in one genus (Hayek, 1924; Appel, Al‑Shehbaz, 1997; German, 2005); secondly, they are spring ephemerals; thirdly, the plants of these genera are of e...

The presented dataset contains information about findings of vascular plant species found in Russia and adjacent countries and published in Botanica Pacifica Journal. In total, this dataset includes 38 species belonging to 34 genera and 23 families. The study is based on data obtained during field explorations, as well as during taxonomic revisions...

With this paper we continue a new annual series, the main purpose of which is to make significant floristic findings from Russia and neighboring countries more visible in Russia and abroad. In total, this paper presents new records for 38 vascular plant species from 7 Eurasian countries, obtained during field explorations, as well as during taxonom...

The genus Tchihatchewia Boiss. and genus Horwoodia Turill have a number of common morphological characters (winged, 1‑2 seeded silicles, lilac flowers with appressed sepals, plant pubescence with bristly hairs, and erect highly branching plants) and geographic‑ecological characters (Southwest Asian arid, subarid and aridized habitats) that allow th...

At the end of the 20th century the flora of Mongolia was considered very well examined. At that time V. I. Grubov (1982) had summarized its study. However, later it became clear that the flora can be thoroughly supplemented (Gubanov, 1996). In the 21st century, it became apparent that many areas of Mongolia require new, more thorough research, not...

Herbarium collections of the genus Camelina preserved at the Institute of General and Experimental Biology of the Academy of Sciences of Mongolia (UBA) and the Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (LE) were studied. The collections of these Herbaria contain materials of 3 species from Mongolia (C. caucasica (Sinsk.) Vass.,...

The paper offers a new revision of the species composition of the Cruciferae family in Yakutia, which is supplemented by information on the geographical distribution and taxonomic composition. In the present work, the crucifers of Yakutia are represented by 39 genera and 102 species. Among them, there are two endemic species ( Boechera falcata (Tur...

The article presents the results of measuring the DNA content by flow cytometry of S. sanguinolenta and S. borealis species in 50 populations from natural habitats of Russia and Mongolia. Two probable cytotypes for S. sanguinolenta, as well as single samples with multiple changes, and two cytotypes for S. borealis were identified. Samples with the...

The genus Turritis L. has a series of morphological features that distinguish it well from the main diversity of the genus Arabis L. A revision of the species composition of Arabis has made it possible to broaden the scope of the genus Turritis by including new representatives, namely T. borealis (Andrz. ex Fisch. et C. A. Mey.) V. I. Dorof. comb....

A study of the Mongolian flora and a survey of the herbarium collections of the Institute of General and Experimental Biology, Mongolian Academy of Sciences, conducted in 2019, provided new information on the geographical distribution of Amaranthus retroflexus (Amaranthaceae, Chenopodiaceae s.l.) and Brassica juncea (Cruciferae, Brassicaceae) in Mo...

Native plant species growing on contaminated sites in an urban environment successfully develop under strong anthropogenic pressure and thereby may have the potential for phytoremediation. The concentrations of potentially toxic metals were measured in leaves, roots, stems, and inflorescences of fifteen Brassicaceae plant species from the urban par...
