INTRODUCTION
Vicia loiseleurii (M. B.) D. Litvinov is an independent species from the Vicia
hirsuta group. V. loiseleurii together with the close related V. hirsuta (L.) S. F. Gray
belongs to the Sect. Ervum (L.) S. F. Gray (BALL 1968) or, according to KUPICHA
(1976), the species belongs to the Sect. Lenticula (Endl.) Ascher. et Graebn.
The taxonomical, nomenclatural and phytogeographical status of the V.
loiseleurii was completely unknown. Finish botanist LINDBERG (1906) found the
Natura Montenegrina 11(3), 2012
426
best solution of the problem of this taxon. Recently, WRABER (1981) in his paper on
this neglected species clearly distinguished V. loiseleurii as a good and easily
recognizable species. In the mentioned paper the author has given the known
distribution of the species in Slovenia as well as the synonymy of V. loiseleurii.
For the territory of Montenegro ROHLENA (1942) has given two localities
about the presence of the V. hirsuta var. sardoa (Moris) Hay. in Montenegro as well
as the data on the presence of V. hirsuta sensu str.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Floristical data on Vicia loiseleurii were colected during our investigation of the
Southern Montenegro as well as from the literature.
Herbarium material collected during our investigation is deposed in
Environmental Protection Agency of Montenegro in Podgorica (in the depo of the
former Republic Institution for the Protection of Nature) and Faculty of Sciencies
University of Montenegro. Known distribution of the taxon is shown in the UTM grid
of Montenegro.
RESULT AND DISCUSSION
The intensive investigation of the flora on the whole territory of Montenegro
permanently reveal new information on the presence and distribution of rare and
unsuficiently known species. In the course of our floristic investigation in the South
of Montenegro we found a vetch similar but different from the common V. hirsuta.
The Flora Europaea key (BALL 1968) led us easy to V. meyeri Boissier, known in
Europe from the Crimea peninsula according to the same author. Yet informed us
that within V. hirsuta the var. leiocarpa shows the same characteristics (linear-
setaceous stipules, glabrous legumes) as those on which V. meyeri is based.
There were much misunderstanding about the problem of the taxon in general.
We have to state that the Finish botanist LINDBERG (1906) found the best
solution of the problem as early as in the year 1906. The paper was neglected up to
the year 1981 when Wraber rediscovered the paper and deal with the problem again.
According to WRABER (1981) correct name of the taxon is Vicia loiseleurii (M.
B.) D. Litvonov which is based on Basyonim Ervum loiseleurii Marschall von
Bieberstein with following synonyms:

In the Euro-Med PlantBase the data about the presence of V. loiseleurii (taken
from ILDIS World Database of Legumes 2010) are given for Ab(A) Gg(A) Rf(CS)
Uk(K) [Lt]. GREUTER et al. (1989: 205) in the Med-Check list have given the data on
the distribution of the species for the Mediterranean area (Hs Ga Sa It Ju RK Gr An).
The taxon V. loiseleurii has a Mediterranean distribution from Spain to Caspian
sea. In the territory of Balkan peninsula the taxon has a relatively limited distribution
with the presence in Slovenia (WRABER 1975, 1981), Croatia - Dalmatia, Istria
(VISIANI 1852, FREYN 1877, POSPICHAL 1898, LINDBERG 1906, HAYEK 1926,
TRINAJSTIĆ 1993), Makedonija (DIMESKA & al. 1997), Bulgaria (KUZMANOV 1976,
TERZIJSKI & DELIPAVLOV 1985), Greece (WRABER 1981).
For the teritory of Montenegro the taxon was cited by STUDNICZKA (1890) and
LINDBERG (1906). In his Conspectus Florae Montenegrinae ROHLENA (1942) has
given own data about the presence of the taxon in two localities (as V. hirsuta var.
sardoa (Moris) Hay.) but he didn’t cite Studniczka’s nor Lindberg’s data of this taxon
for Montenegro.
HAYEK (1906: 809) has given the data about the presence of the taxon for Da
and Mt (as V. hirsuta var. sardoa (Moris) Hay.).
PULEVIĆ (2005) in his 'Material for Vascular Flora of Montenegro - A
Supplement to Conspectus Florae Montenegrinae (J. Rohlena)' didn’t cite
Studniczka’s nor Lindberg’s data of this taxon for Montenegro. In the study of flora
and vegetation of Rumija mt. PETROVIĆ (2011) has given the data for V. hirsuta but
it is clear that these data have to be noted for V. loiseleurii.
In the area of Montenegro V. loiseleurii is found in the folowing localities:

CONCLUSIONS
Vicia loiseleurii (M. B.) D. Litvinov is an independent species from the Vicia
hirsuta group. Until recently the taxonomical, nomenclatural and phytogeographical
status of the V. loiseleurii was completely unknown.
WRABER (1981) in his paper on this neglected species clearly distinguished
V. loiseleurii as a good and easily recognizable species.
In concluson we have to state that the Vicia hirsuta sensu str. has wide
distribution throughout the Europe, while V. loiseleurii shows a marked and nearly
exclusive mediterranean distribution.
According to WRABER (1981), based on herbarium specimens, the distribution
of the V. loiseleurii includes part of Spain, France, Italy, Yugoslavia, Greece an
Soviet Union (Crimea, Caucas).

In the territory of Balkan peninsula the taxon has a relatively limited
distribution with the presence in Slovenia, Croatia - Dalmatia, Istria, Makedonija,
Bulgaria, Greece.
For the teritory of Montenegro the taxon was cited by STUDNICZKA (1890) and
LINDBERG (1906) but PULEVIĆ (2005) didn’t cite those data. Also, ROHLENA
(1942: 171) has given only two close localities on the presence of the species.
According to our research it is clear that the species has wider distribution,
especially in Southern Montenegro.
In Montenegro V. loiseleurii has Mediterranean-Submediterranean distribution
in the following plant communities: Rusco-Carpinetum orientalis, Rhamno-
intermediae-Paliuretum, Quercetum cerridis, Quercetum trojanae as well as in
different types of degradeted stadium of the mentioned communities (Stipo-
Salvietum officinalis, comm. with Phlomis fruticosa etc.).

... In the same paper, the affinity of the S. officinalis communities from the Italian peninsula with those of the Balkan peninsula under a phytogeographic point of view is well shown, while from a phyto-dynamic and synecological point of view, the distinction between primary and secondary stations, albeit highlighted, is not well resolved at a syntaxonomic level. In South Eastern Europe, the S. officinalis communities were attributed to the Stipo bromoidis-Salvietum officinalis, a frequent association present in various areas of the Balkans (Dring et al. 2002;Fanelli et al. 2015;Hadžiablahović 2012;Horvatić 1963;etc.), and also to the Artemisio albae-Salvietum officinalis Grebenščikov ex Nikolić et Diklić 1966, both belonging to the Scorzonero villosae-Chrysopogonetalia order (Aćić et al. 2014). ...
Revision and new proposals regarding Salvia officinalis communities after new findings from the Abruzzo region, Central Adriatic Italy
Article
Salvia officinalis communities are not common in Italy. Until recently, the studies carried out in Italy have generally not always been thorough regarding the physiognomic type of these communities and have not clearly distinguished between the real garrigues and the pasture communities (with more or less abundant Chamaephytes). A finer approach, allowing a correct interpretation of micro-mosaic patchiness, is necessary when the “elementary area” is chosen to be analyzed, in order to permit this kind of distinction. In the Abruzzo region, on the Central Adriatic side of Italy, this species is quite rare and is exclusively represented by the angustifolia variety. Actually, only few S. officinalis communities were known and studied in the Abruzzo region. New localities were found for this species and related communities. A newly uploaded dataset from the region is documented here, combining literature review data and new relevés, and is analyzed by multivariate methods. Results show that the Salvia officinalis garrigues of the Abruzzo region are not all attributable to the same plant association, as the coenological features of these communities are quite variable, depending mainly on geomorphological and climate features. Only half of the literature relevés previously attributed to the Saturejo montanae-Salvietum angustifoliae association are clearly ascribable to it, while the other half concerns anomalous aspects, poor in diagnostic species. A new set of diagnostic and differential species is proposed for that association; and two new variants have been proposed. We also propose a new association: Euphorbio spinosae-Salvietum angustifoliae, with two sub-associations, both found in newly studied localities. Further similar thorough reviews are desirable for other associations described in South-Eastern Europe, taking into account a fine separation between chamaephyte dominated communities and those that are mainly hemicryptophytic.

The Diversity of the Flora and Vegetation of Lake Skadar/Shkodra
Chapter
  • May 2018
Research on the vascular flora of the Lake Skadar basin started in the middle of the nineteenth century when the German botanist Wilhelm Ebel visited this area in 1841. Based on the available literature and our unpublished data, a total of 1,396 taxa from 131 families and 588 genera have been reported from the area of the Lake Skadar National Park. The chorological structure showed that the Mediterranean-Sub-Mediterranean (28.7%) and Eurasian (24.9%) groups dominate. A phytogeographical analysis of the biological spectrum of the vascular flora revealed that hemicryptophytes (33.6%) and therophytes (32.4%) are most numerous. One element that is characteristic of the vascular flora of Lake Skadar basin is the high percentage of endemic species including a large number of locus classicus sites. Moreover, 40 species and subspecies that are endemic, and 42 species that are subendemic in the Balkan Peninsula were recorded in the flora of the Lake Skadar area. An analysis of the vegetation of Lake Skadar revealed the presence of 134 plant communities classified in 65 alliances, 48 orders and 30 classes. There are 50 taxa of vascular plants protected at the national and international level and 23 European Natural Habitat Types (Annex I of the Habitat Directive) that exist in the area of the Lake Skadar National Park.
