1. Introduction
Although, it might seem that good knowledge on the
general distribution of vascular plants has been attained
for the Eurasian ora, there are still many regions where
new plant species are discovered (e.g. Lazkov & Sennikov,

2019b). e present paper is dedicated to new national and
regional vascular plant records, to broad our knowledge
on their distribution and taxonomy.
During the eld exploration across the vast area of
European and Asian countries, as well as during taxonomic
revisions of herbarium material of dierent groups of
vascular plants, we found some species which are new to
the oras of particular countries or its signicant regions
(provinces or republics). e purpose of this paper is to
report new records for 39 vascular plant species from
eight Eurasian countries. Four taxa (Aniselytron treutleri,
Hackelochloa granularis, Melica kozlovii, Melica nutans)
are reported from China, one (Dichondra micrantha)
from Hungary, two (Orobanche serbica, Viscum album
subsp. austriacum) from Italy, three (Petrorhagia
prolifera, Puccinellia schischkinii, Stipa pulcherrima) from
Kyrgyzstan, four (Megadenia speluncarum, Phelipanche
lavandulacea, Solanum physalifolium, ymus lenensis)
from Russia, one (Rubus phoenicolasius) from Slovakia, one
(Atraphaxis karataviensis) from Tajikistan, and 23 (Rubus
austroslovacus, Rubus crispomarginatus, Taraxacum
acervatulum, Taraxacum aequilobum, Taraxacum
amplum, Taraxacum ancistrolobum, Taraxacum bellicum,
Taraxacum collarispinulosum, Taraxacum copidophyllum,
Taraxacum corynodes, Taraxacum dentatum, Taraxacum

Taraxacum lucidum, Taraxacum paucilobum, Taraxacum
plumbeum, Taraxacum portentosum, Taraxacum
sinuatum, Taraxacum subhuelphersianum, Taraxacum
telmatophilum, Taraxacum undulatiforme, Taraxacum
undulatum) from Ukraine. is work aims to contribute
to a better understanding of spreading directions of
particular vascular plants as well as species composition of
selected countries and/or geographical regions of Eurasia.
2. Materials and methods
Field researches were conducted in 2015–2019 in addition
to revision of herbarium specimens preserved at BP, KRA,
KRAM, IRK, LE, MW, NS, OPUN, PE, PR, SLO, TK,
WSRP.
For each species synonyms, general distribution, habitat
preferences, taxonomy with remarks on recognition and
dierentiation the species from the most similar occurring
in a given country, as well as a list of localities recorded
(oen far from the previously known areas) were presented.
e taxa presented below are given in alphabetic order in
two groups, for Asian and for European countries.

New records for Asian countries
Aniselytron treutleri (Kuntze) Soják (Poaceae)
Synonyms: Milium treutleri Kuntze, Aulacolepis treutleri

(Kuntze) U. Shukla, Deyeuxia treutleri (Kuntze) Stapf,
Neoaulacolepis treutleri (Kuntze) Rauschert.
Contributor – Beata Paszko
Distribution and habitat
Aniselytron treutleri (Kuntze) Soják was recorded from
Bhutan, China, Northeastern India (Darjeeling, Sikkim),
Indonesia (N Sumatra), Japan, Malaysia (Sabah), North
Myanmar, Philippines (Luzon), and North Vietnam
(Merrill and Merritt, 1910; Korthof and Veldkamp, 1984;
Noltie, 2000; Kress et al., 2003; Lu and Phillips, 2006).
In China, it was previously known from the following
provinces: Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hubei, Sichuan,
Taiwan, and Yunnan (Lu and Phillips, 2006). Here, new
records of A. treutleri are reported from the Xinning
County of Hunan and from Anfu County of Jiangxi. e
species grows in shaded, rocky places in midmontane
to upper montane areas, oen in ravines (Korthof and
Veldkamp, 1984; Lu and Phillips, 2006).
Taxonomic notes
e concept of Aniselytron Merrill proposed by Korthof
and Veldkamp (1984), comprising two species (Aniselytron
agrostoides (Kuntze) Soják and Aniselytron treutleri
Merrill), is usually used in some oristic treatments and
checklists in southeast Asia [Hsu et al., 2000; Kress et al.,
2003; Lu and Phillips, 2006]. At the same time, Aniselytron
was placed in synonymy of Calamagrostis Adanson by
Clayton and Renvoize (1986). e latter treatment has
been followed by Shukla (1996) for northeastern India
and Noltie (2000) for Bhutan. An illegitimate genus name,
Aulacolepis Hackel, was also sometimes adopted by authors
in their accounts for the above two species, i.e. Ohwi
(1933, 1935), Keng (1959), Hsui (1971), Liu (1987). Zhao
(1995) reestablished the genus Aniselytron in the Chinese
ora, widened its circumscription, and recognized seven
species and two varieties. Currently, Aniselytron clemensae
(Hitchc.) Soják and Aniselytron pseudopoa (Jansen) Soják
are placed in synonymy of Aniselytron treutleri (Korthof
and Veldkamp, 1984); Aniselytron epileuca (Stapf) Soják
was moved to the genus Poa, as Poa epileuca (Stapf) Stapf
(Veldkamp, 1994); Aniselytron gracilis (Keng) N.X. Zhao
and Aniselytron petelotii (Hitchc.) Soják were synonymysed
with Deyeuxia abnormis Hook. f. emend. Paszko (Korthof
and Veldkamp, 1984; Paszko and Soreng, 2013; Paszko et
al., 2017). Ma, Peng, and Li (2005) discovered that there are
sharp dierences between Aniselytron and Calamagrostis
based on their leaf anatomy and provided valuable support
that Aniselytron should be generically separated from
Calamagrostis. Recently, Gillespie et al. (2008) recognized
Aniselytron as accepted genus originated by ancient
hybridization.
Aniselytron treutleri diers from Aniselytron agrostoides
by its longer lower glumes (0.5–2.5 mm vs. absent or
up to 0.75 mm long), number of veins on lower glumes
NOBIS et al. / Turk J Bot
457
(1-veined
vs. veinless), number of veins on upper glumes
(3-veined vs. 1-veined), and wider leaf blades (5–15 mm vs.
3–6 mm wide) (Korthof and Veldkamp, 1984; Hsu et al.,
2000; Lu and Phillips, 2006).

Atraphaxis karataviensis Pavlov & Lipschitz
(Polygonaceae)
Contributors – Arkadiusz Nowak, Marcin Nobis
Distribution and habitat
Atraphaxis karataviensis is an endemic species to the
Karatu Mts., the westernmost range of the Tian-Shan
(the Syrdarian subsection) and northwestern Pamir-Alai
within Kyrgyzstan in Middle Asia (Pavlov, 1936). It is
known from the few stations on screes and rock outcrops
in desert-like, dry habitats in mid elevation zones, mainly
between 1300–2000 m a.s.l. (Pavlov, 1936; Ovchinnikov,
1968). e species was supposed to occur in Tajikistan
and mentioned in the 3rd volume of the country’s ora
(Ovchinnikov, 1968). During the eld research in the
northern Pamir-Alai (Tajikistan), we found a population of
Atraphaxis karataviensis on rock faces in the Alaian range
north from Damburacha settlement. Population including
approximately 200 individuals composes a dwarf-shrub
stand on southern exposition, on limestone outcrops. Also
Silene guntensis, Campanula lehmanniana and Asperulula
albiora contribute to the plant community. e location is
one of the highest of this species, elevated up to 3000 m a.s.l.
Taxonomic notes
Until now, ve species of the genus Atraphaxis were
reported from Tajikistan. e dierences between species
concern mainly ower structure and leaves position
(Ovchinnikov, 1968). Atraphaxis karataviensis (Figure 1)
can be easily distinguished from other Atraphaxis species
by its 4–petal owers and dwarf-shrub life form (10–30 cm
tall). Additionally, Atraphaxis karataviensis has small leaves
(ca. 2–3 mm long) whereas most similar Atraphaxis spinosa
L. has longer leaves (up to 9 mm) and is a much higher plant
(30–90 cm tall).

Hackelochloa granularis (L.) Kuntze (Poaceae)
Synonyms: Cenchrus granularis L., Manisuris granularis
(L.) L. f., Mnesithea granularis (L.) de Koning and Sosef,
Rottboellia granularis (L.) Roberty.
Contributor – Beata Paszko
Distribution and habitat
Hackelochloa granularis (Linnaeus) Kuntze has a more
or less pantropical distribution. In China, H. granularis
was recorded till now from the following provinces:
Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hainan,
Sichuan, Taiwan, Yunnan, and Zhejiang (Sun and Phillips,
2006). Here, the rst records of H. granularis are reported
from Hunan (Baojing, Dongkou, and Yizhang Counties)
and Jiangxi (Dexing City and Tonggu County), Southeast
China. Hackelochloa granularis occur in tropical,
subtropical and warm temperate zones of the world. It
grows on grassy slopes, in forest gaps and in disturbed
areas, at elevation between 100 and 1000 m a.s.l. (Noltie,
2000; Sun and Phillips, 2006).
Taxonomic notes
Hackelochloa (Poaceae: Andropogoneae) is a genus
including only two species: Hackelochloa granularis
(Linnaeus) Kuntze and Hackelochloa porifera (Hackel) D.
Rhind. Both of them are recorded in China. is genus
is readily recognizable by its unique, globose or broadly
oblong, sessile spikelets. e status of the genus itself
and the species distinction itself have been questioned.
Veldkamp, de Koning, and Sosef (1986), Veldkamp et al.
(2013) and their followers, i.e. Soreng et al. (2015) placed
its two members in the related genus Mnesithea Kunth,
and Hackelochloa porifera has subsequently been treated
as a synonym of Mnesithea granularis (L.) de Koning
and Sosef. Recently, Arthan et al. (2016) supported the
recognition of Hackelochloa porifera as distinct from
Hackelochloa granularis and provided evidence that the
genus Hackelochloa should be maintained. Hackelochloa
granularis diers from Hackelochloa porifera in spikelet
morphology. Both species dier in shape of sessile spikelet
(subglobose in Hackelochloa granularis vs. broadly oblong
in Hackelochloa porifera), structure of lower glume
surface (pitted and tubercled on the back in Hackelochloa
granularis vs. ridged and reticulate on the back in
Hackelochloa porifera), lower glume length of sessile
spikelet (0.8–1.3 mm long in Hackelochloa granularis vs.
1.5–2.5 mm long in Hackelochloa porifera), and length of
racemes (up to 1.5 cm in Hackelochloa granularis vs. more
than 2 cm in Hackelochloa porifera) (Noltie, 2000; Sun and
Phillips, 2006; Arthan et al., 2016).

Megadenia speluncarum Vorob., Vorosch. & Gorovoj
(Brassicaceae)
Contributors – Marina V. Olonova, Robert J. Soreng
Distribution and habitat
Megadenia speluncarum was described (Vorobyev et
al., 1976) from the samples collected near a calcareous cave
in the Lozovoy mountain range (Chandalaz) in southern
Primorsky Krai (Russian Far East). As a rare plant and
narrow endemic M. speluncarum is under protection in
Russia (Malyshev, 2008).
A joint botanical expedition of Tomsk State University
and Smithsonian Institution encountered a new population
of Megadenia speluncarum about 300 km from its locus
classicus, in the forest on the Vityaz Bay, near the road,
in 2018. e population covered an area of about 4.5 m2.
It included vegetative as well as reproductive individuals
(Figure 2). More localities of this rare species are likely to
be found near the newly reported location.
Taxonomic notes
Previously, the genus Megadenia Maxim. includes
three species. ey are distributed on the Qinghai-
Tibetan Plateau (Megadenia pygmaea Maxim.), in eastern
Sayan Mts south of Lake Baikal (Megadenia bardunovii
Popov), and Primorsky Krai, Lozovoy Ridge (Megadenia

speluncarum). Later the taxonomic status of these species
was evaluated, and all three species, due their high
morphological similarity, were synonymized as Megadenia
pygmaea (Berkutenko, 1998; Zhou et al., 2001; Ostroumova
and Berkutenko, 2010). Finally, detailed research, using
molecular methods, allowed Artyukova, Kozyrenko, and
Gorovoy (2014) to restore the species status for Megadenia
speluncarum. eir data on the plastid genome revealed a
clear subdivision of the genus into three lineages matching
the three described species.

Melica kozlovii Tzvelev (Poaceae)
Contributor – Beata Paszko
Distribution and habitat
According to Wu and Phillips (2006) Melica kozlovii
occurs in central Asia, in China and Mongolia. Till now,
the species was recorded from the following Chinese
provinces: Gansu, Qinghai, and Shanxi. Tzvelev (1968)
described M. kozlovii based on two dierent collection
events. Tzvelev (1968) cited as type the V.F. Ladygin’s
collection no. 367 gathered during the Tibet Expedition
(1899–1901) leaded by Pyotr K. Kozlov (Andreev and
Yusopova, 2015). e type locality is located in the vicinity
of Dulan-Chit (Dulankit Gompa, ca. 15 km NE of Wulan,
Wulan Co., northeastern margin of Quaidam Basin)
in Qinghai, China (Tzvelev 1968). Tzvelev cited also,
M.I. Petrov’s collection gathered 15 km N of Yongchang
(Russian: á) (Yongchang Co., Gansu, China) on 28
June 1958. is second locality was probably erroneously
assigned to Mongolia by Wu and Phillips (2006) in the
Flora of China. e second locality is prescribed by
Tzvelev (1968) to the Mongolica Province, the Mongolia
Subprovince, and the Chesi Region. ese regions were
dened by Grubov (1963) and the area of Mongolia
Subprovince sensu Tzvelev (1968) does not correspond
with the present borders of Mongolia. e Chesi region
is located mostly in the present-day area of Gansu, what
was shown on the map provided by Grubov (1963). Later,
Grubov (1982) as well as Hempel (2011) did not listed M.
kozlovii for Mongolia. Here, new record of M. kozlovii is
reported from Helan Mountains at the Alxa Le Banner
in the southwest Inner Mongolia, China. Wu and Phillips
(2006) and Huang et al. (2011) provided eight Chinese
endemic species in the genus Melica. Melica kozlovii was
not listed by these authors. My ndings showed that the
distribution range of M. kozlovii is restricted to China, and
this species should be recognized as a Chinese endemic.
Melica kozlovii occurs in the middle and upper mountain
areas, at rocky slopes and in mountain valleys, from 1950
m to 3900 m.
Taxonomic notes
e genus Melica is represented by 23 species in
China (Wu and Phillips, 2006). Melica kozlovii belongs
to the group consisting of several species characterized
by branched panicles bearing more than 15 spikelets
per panicle branch. Melica kozlovii diers from Melica
tangutorum Tzvelev, Melica tibetica Roshevitz, and Melica
subava Z. L. Wu by the laxer panicles, presence of lobes,
ca. 3 mm wide, at the junction of leaf sheath and blade, and
longer anthers, 1.2–2.2 mm long (Wu and Phillips, 2006).
According to Hempel (2011) Melica kozlovii together with
Melica secunda Regel, Melica tangutorum, Melica tibetica,
and Melica subava are members of section Melicella
Camus ex W. Hempel, subsection Schizolemma (Z. L. Wu)
W. Hempel.

Melica nutans L. (Poaceae)
Contributor – Beata Paszko
Distribution and habitat
Melica nutans is a widespread Eurasian woodland
species. It is distributed in most of Europe, but it is rare
in the Mediterranean region and its islands. In Asia, it
occurs in Siberia, Soviet Far East, Soviet Middle Asia, the

Caucasus, northern China, and eastern Asia (Meusel et al.,
1965; Tutin, 1980; Tyler, 2002). Melica nutans is quite rare
in China. Till now, it was recorded from Heilongjiang and
Xinjiang provinces (Wu and Phillips, 2006). Here, new
records of M. nutans are reported from Changbai Mt. in
the Antu County in the southern Jilin and in the Ningwu
County of Shanxi, China. Melica nutans is a rhizomatous,
perennial grass occurring in shady and oen rocky places in
deciduous woodland, and on woodland margins.
Taxonomic notes
ere are three Melica species (Melica grandiora
Koidz., Melica nutans, Melica pappiana W.Hempel) that are
characterized by racemelike panicles, bearing a few (3–15)
spikelets. Melica nutans diers from Melica grandiora and
Melica pappiana by shorter spikelets, (5–8 mm long vs. 7–10
mm long, respectively), purplish red glumes (vs. glumes
usually green), eventually nodding panicles (vs. erect
panicles) (Wu and Phillips, 2006).

Synonyms: Dianthus prolifer L., Kohlrauschia prolifera
(L.) Kunth, Tuni c a prolifera (L.) Scop.
Contributors – Agnieszka Nobis, Marcin Nobis,
Arkadiusz Nowak, Georgy A. Lazkov
Distribution and habitat
Natural range of Petrorhagia prolifera includes central
and southern Europe as well as southwest Asia (region
between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea) (Ball and
Akeroyd, 2010). Besides, the species was introduced to
Africa, North and South America and Australia (Global
Biodiversity Information Facility 2019). In the mountains
of central Asia the genus Petrorhagia has been represented
only by Petrorhagia alpina (Habl.) P.W.Ball & Heywood
(Bondarenko, 1971; Lazkov and Sultanova, 2014) and
Petrorhagia cretica (L.) P.W.Ball & Heywood, the latter
restricted to Turkmenistan (Kopetdag) (Bondarenko, 1971).
Petrorhagia prolifera was recorded for the rst time in central
Asia in 2015. e occurrence of the species was conrmed in
the next year. Population of the species was observed on the
roadside in Kyrgyzstan (Figure 3), and it included several
hundreds of individuals. Probably, Petrorhagia prolifera
has been accidentally introduced in this region and further
localities will be found in near future.
Taxonomic notes
e genus Petrorhagia (Ser. ex DC.) Link includes
ca. 20 species distributed mainly in the Mediterranean
region. All species are typical for dry, calcareous or sandy
habitats (Ball and Akeroyd, 2010). Petrorhagia prolifera
can be easily distinguished from Petrorhagia alpina and
Petrorhagia cretica which are annual plants with white
petals (3–9 mm long in Petrorhagia alpina and included
in the calyx in Petrorhagia cretica) whereas Petrorhagia
prolifera is perennial and has pink petals with darker veins
(10–14 mm long).

Distribution and habitat
According to Tzvelev (Tzvelev, 1976) and Liang and
Tzvelev (2006) the overall range of Puccinellia schischkinii
extends from Siberia to Mongolia and central Asia, where
it grows on saline soils within grasslands, meadows and
marshes. e species’ distribution, however, is still not
well recognized and requires further eld research.
Although the occurrence of P. schischkinii was suggested
from Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan by some authors (Liang
and Tzvelev, 2006), the species has not been listed in the
ora of these countries (Ovchinnikov, 1957; Lazkov and
Sultanova, 2014). In Middle Asia P. schischkinii has been
conrmed only in Kazakhstan (Kamelin, 1998).
A population of Puccinellia schischkinii was discovered
near the road A365 in the vicinity of At-Bashy (Naryn

Region, Kyrgyzstan) during expedition to Tian-Shan
Mountains in 2018 (Figure 4). is is the rst record of
this species to Kyrgyzstan. At the locality, more than 100
individuals of P. schischkinii grew between roadside and
small watercourse, on clay alkaline soil characterized by
high concentration of salts (23050 S/cm).
Taxonomic notes
Puccinellia schischkinii is a perennial diploid species
(2n = 14) (Probatova et al., 2013) belonging to the section
Puccinellia (Tzvelev, 1976). As still little is known about
evolutionary history of Puccinellia in Middle Asia, further
integrative studies are needed to shed more light on the
phylogenetic relationship among taxa in the genus and
rene their taxonomic classication (Wróbel et al. in
prep.).
Useful morphological characters for Puccinellia
schischkinii identication are: culm 15–55 cm long with
short vegetative shoots near the base; lower leaf sheaths
greyish-green; panicle up to 20 cm long, usually more
than 1/3 of the culm length (length of a culm without
panicle length), dense and contracted, rarely slightly open,
scabrous; pedicels of lateral spikelets very short, up to 1
(–1.5) mm long; spikelets with up to 7 owers, slender,
ca. 1.5 mm wide, adhering tightly to primary branches;
lemma of the lowest oret in spikelet ovate, slightly pilose
at the base, with obtuse triangular apex, light green, usually
with violet tinge in upper half and golden edge at the apex,
2.5–3 mm long; palea with numerous spinules in upper
1/2–2/3 of its length; anthers 0.8–1.2 mm long.
Puccinellia schischkinii can be confused with Puccinellia
roshevitsiana (Schischk.) V.I.Krecz. ex Tzvelev but the
latter taxon has shorter and more lax panicle which is up
to 1/4 of the culm length (length of a culm without panicle
length), longer anthers 1.6–2.5 mm long and slightly
longer lemma 2.7–3.5 mm long (Tzvelev, 1976).

Solanum physalifolium Rusby var. nitidibaccatum
(Bitter) Edmonds (Solanaceae)
Contributors – Nikita A. Vershinin, Igor V. Kuzmin
Distribution and habitat
Solanum physalifolium is a species native to the
Andes (Argentina, Bolivia and Chile). It is adventive and
naturalized in Europe, western Canada, the northwestern
United States, equatorial regions of Africa, and it has
been introduced into Australia and New Zealand where it
persists as a weed of cultivation (Edmonds, 1986; Edmonds
and Chweya, 1997). e species grows in ruderal habitats,
on railways embankments, in elds and disturbed areas.
In Russia, it was collected in Kursk, Moscow, Ryazan
Oblasts, the Republic of Mordovia (Mayorov, 2014),
Udmurt Republic (Melnikov, 2011), however, it has not
been encountered in the eastern regions of the country.

We found a few new locations of the species on the potato
eld and on the roadsides, ca. 700 km eastwards of the
previously known localities. Potato elds were also the
habitat of this species in other Russian regions. Solanum
physalifolium var. nitidibaccatum is a new alien established
species to the ora of Siberia and Asian Russia.
Taxonomic notes
Solanum physalifolium belongs to sect. Solanum, which
includes about 15 species of Solanum nigrum complex.
Two varieties of Solanum physalifolium species have been
recognized: var. physalifolium (which has a restricted
South American distribution) and var. nitidibaccatum
(synonyms: Solanum nitidibaccatum Bitter; Solanum
sarrachoides Sendtn. pro parte), which successfully spreads
beyond South America (Edmonds, 1986). Plants from the
Tyumen region have 4–8-owered inorescences, broadly
triangular sepals, and broadly ovoid berries with two
sclerotic granules. On this basis they can be recognized as
representing Solanum physalifolium var. nitidibaccatum.

Distribution and habitat
Stipa L. is one of the largest genera in the family Poaceae,
subfamily Pooideae (Soreng et al., 2015), which in the
narrow approach comprises over 150 species distributed
in open habitats (grasslands, steppes, meadow steppes or
forest steppes) of the Old World. Stipa pulcherrima K. Koch
is a widely distributed Eurasian species. Its range extends
from Siberia, through the southern Ural, the Black Sea, the
Caucasus, and the Mediterranean area to central Europe,
where the species reaches the northwestern limit of its
geographic range (Martinovský, 1980). Here, we report a
new record of S. pulcherrima from central Tian-Shan Mts
in Kyrgyzstan, where it grows in steppe community on
steep, sunny slope of the river valley, with north exposition
(Figure 5). e new locality is the easternmost known
location of the taxon. Stipa pulcherrima is a new native
species to Kyrgyzstan.
Taxonomic notes
Stipa pulcherrima belongs to the section Stipa, and is
characterized by having dorsal line of hairs fussed with
subdorsals and ventral line of hairs always reaching the
base of the awn, leaves of the vegetative shoots 0.7–1.4
mm in diameter, their adaxial (upper) surface covered
by short, up to 0.08 mm prickles and short hairs (up to
0.15–0.3 mm long) present only on the sides of the ribes
(Nobis et al., 2017), whereas abaxial (lower) surface
is more or less scabrous due to hard hooks and short
prickles. In Kyrgyzstan this species could be confused with
Stipa zalesskii Wilensky (belonging to Stipa dasyphylla
(Lindem.) Trautv. group), which diers from Stipa
pulcherrima by having ventral line of hairs terminating
at the distance of 0.3–1 mm below the top of the lemma,
leaves of the vegetative shoots 0.3–0.8 mm in diameter,
their abaxial surface scabrous due to mixture of prickles,
spinules and hairs, whereas adaxial covered with mixture
of short and long hairs (Nobis et al., 2019).

along sandy-pebble river banks of the Lena River Basin,
previously known from North-Eastern Siberia (in the
central part of Yakutia) and only from the type specimens
collected in 1962 (paratype: “Yakutia, Kobyayskiy

e revision of ymus L. in the IRK herbarium
(Irkutsk, Russia) resulted in nding specimens collected
from Irkutsk Oblast and representing ymus lenensis,
providing the rst record of this species from the southern
part of Siberia.
Taxonomic notes
ymus lenensis is a dwarf semishrub with short stalks
(1–2 mm thick) ending in a generative shoot. Generative
shoots erect, 7–15 cm high, roundish, densely pubescent
with squarrose and rather short hairs under inorescence,
as well as on vegetative shoots. Cauline leaves oblong to
elliptic and roundish, 6–12 mm long and (2–)3–7 mm
wide, petiolate, with distinct veins beneath; hispidulous
above and sometimes beneath; viscid glands well distinct.
Inorescence branched. Flowering calyx purple, 3.5–4
mm long; teeth of upper lip ciliate. Corolla 5–6 mm long,
purple.
ymus lenensis is closely related to ymus
sergievskajae Karav. Both species belong to the section
Verticillati (Klokov et Des.-Shost.) Klokov. ymus
sergievskajae diers from ymus lenensis by the shoots
pubescent throughout with horizontally oriented long
hairs ca. 1–1.2 mm long, cauline leaves 3–10 mm long and
2.5–4(–5) mm wide, hairy on both surfaces or glabrous
above.

New records for Europaean countries
Dichondra micrantha Urb. (Convolvulaceae)
Contributors – Gergely Király
Distribution and habitat
Dichondra micrantha is native to tropical and warm-
temperate regions, with controversial reports on the
precise range: some authors, e.g. arp and Johnston
(1961), Correll and Correll (1982), Fang and Staples
(1995), consider it to be native in both hemispheres, others
restrict its native range to entral America (Silvestre, 2012),
or to east Asia (Clement and Foster, 1994). In Europe, it is
a cultivated plant used as a ground-cover plant or grass-
substitute in lawns, and usually is treated as casual alien
tending to establish only in regions of mild winter climate,
e.g. Great Britain, Iberian Peninsula, Italy, and the Balkans
(Euro+Med Plantbase, 2018). e closest populations
to Hungary were observed in villages along the Adriatic
Coast (Milović and Mitić, 2012; Tafra et al., 2013; Barina
et al., 2015), and in northern Italy (Selvaggi et al., 2013).
e newly discovered locality of Dichondra micrantha
is situated in southwestern Hungary, in the town centre of
Kaposvár, where clones larger than 1 m in diameter were
found in lawns, and in the cracks of pavements. Based on
the extension of the clones they are multiannual, and could
survive the winters here obviously due to the urban heat
eect. e plants were observed on 18 January 2019 aer a
long cold period, and, especially in sheltered position, they
were completely fresh and green.
Taxonomic notes
e genus Dichondra J. R Forst & G. Forst. includes
creeping or sprawling perennial herbs with alternate,

long-petioled reniform leaves. In the subgenus Dichondra
(where D. micrantha is placed), the fruits are deeply
bilobed, and the carpels usually one-seeded. Dichondra
micrantha has thin stolons (< 1 mm in diameter), leaves
sparsely pubescent with appressed hairs, a corolla about
as long as calyx at anthesis, and calyx-lobes twice as
long as broad or less, shorter than the fruits (arp and
Johnston, 1961; Correll and Correll, 1982; Silvestre, 2012).
Dichondra micrantha is the only species of the genus with
reliable records in Europe, other species probably have
been reported erroneously (Clement and Foster, 1994;
Otto and Verloove, 2016).

Orobanche serbica Beck & Petrović (Orobanchaceae)
Synonyms: Orobanche ozanonis F.W. Schultz ex Beck.
Contributors – Óscar Sánchez Pedraja, Renata
Piwowarczyk, Gonzalo Moreno Moral
Distribution and habitat
Orobanche serbica is an exclusive parasite of Artemisia
alba Turra (=Artemisia camphorata Vill). e species is
known from few isolated localities situated in Bulgaria,
Albania, Serbia, France and Spain, where it grows in
mountainous areas, especially on rocky, calcareous and
sunny slopes. New locality of Orobanche serbica has been
found in Parma Province in Italy. e species is a new,
native taxon to the ora of this country.
Taxonomic notes
Orobanche serbica was described from Serbia by Beck
& Petrović in Petrović (1885) based on a plant material
collected by Sava Petrović: “monte Visa supra monast.
sv. Bogorodice”, parasitizing Artemisia camphorata.
Previously, under the name of Orobanche ozanonis had
been distributed by F.W. Schultz through his exsiccata
(“F. Schultz, herbarium normale. Cent. 10. [exc. n.] 924
... 10 July 1859”) made on the basis of a French gathering
of Charles Ozanon: “Sur l’Artemisia camphorata dans
les détritus des rochers schisteux des Portes, à 2000 m,
près de Lagrave (Hautes-Alpes)”; the name of Schultz’s
exssicata was later published correctly by Beck (1890).
According to Carlón et al. (2008), Orobanche serbica and
Orobanche ozanonis are the same species. Consequently,
the priority name is Orobanche serbica, because it was the
rst published correctly according to ICN. Genetic studies
indicated that Orobanche serbica is a relatively closely
related to Orobanche santolinae Loscos & J. Pardo and
Orobanche loscosii L. Carlón, M. Laínz, G. Moreno Moral
& Ó. Sánchez Pedraja (Carlón et al., 2008) (Orobanche
santolinae EU65516; Orobanche loscosii EU655617, sub
Orobanche ritro; Orobanche serbica AY960723, La Grave,
France, sub O. ozanonis) which is in line with earlier
assumptions of Beck (1890), but Orobanche serbica, due to
the small size of the corolla lobes [(Carlón et al., 2002) sub
Orobanche cf. artemisiae-campestris; (Carlón et al., 2005)
sub Orobanche ozanonis; (Sánchez Pedraja et al. 2016)], is
easily dierentiated from Orobanche santolinae (Carlón
et al., 2003; Sánchez Pedraja et al., 2016) and Orobanche
loscosii [sub “O. major L. β Ritro” (Carlón et al., 2003,

Phelipanche lavandulacea (Rchb.) Pomel
(Orobanchaceae)
Synonyms: Orobanche lavandulacea Rchb.
Contributors – Óscar Sánchez Pedraja, Renata
Piwowarczyk, Gonzalo Moreno Moral
Distribution and habitat
Phelipanche lavandulacea is a species described
from Italy (Reichenbach, 1829). It is characterized by a
Mediterranean distribution (Sánchez Pedraja et al., 2016).
Phelipanche lavandulacea is relatively common in the
European part of the Mediterranean region as well as in
the northwest part of Africa. Its occurrence in northeast
Africa is doubtful. Finally, it is rare in southwest Asia
(Turkey, Palestine, Israel). Some records from Asian
countries (e.g. Syria, Iran) have not been conrmed so far.
We encountered three sheets with specimens representing
P. lavandulacea in the herbaria LE and MW. e plant
materials were collected in the Russian district of Sochi
(Krasnodar Krai). us, the eastern boundary of the
species extends to the northeastern coast of the Black Sea.
It usually occurs in rocky places, sunny slopes, the edges of
shrublands, ruderal habitats. e species is indicated as a
new, native taxon to the Russian ora.
Taxonomic notes
is species is easily recognizable by its habit (plants
usually tall, inorescences are simple or branched, dense
and many-owered, rarely lax and few-owered, owers
15–23 mm with calyx-teeth equalling or slightly longer
than calyx-tube, corolla deep-violet and anthers hairy)
and the fact that it has only one conrmed host-plant,
Bituminaria bituminosa (L.) C. H. Stirt. (= Psoralea
bituminosa L.). Two subspecies, i.e. subsp. lavandulacea
and subsp. trichocalyx (Webb) Carlón, G. Gómez, M.
Laínz, Moreno Mor., Ó. Sánchez & Schneew. (Carlón et al.,
2008; Piwowarczyk, 2016), are distinguished within this
taxon. e latter is considered to be endemic to the Canary
Islands (Carlón et al., 2008). Reuter (1847) (sub Phelipaea
lavandulacea) believed that Orobanche lavandulacea
Rchb., Phelypaea trichocalyx Webb and Orobanche schultzii
NOBIS et al. / Turk J Bot
465
Mutel are conspecic species. Recently, the last species is
considered as clearly separate (e.g. by its long calyx teeth).
According to Schultz (1842–1855) Orobanche schultzii
diers from Phelipanche lavandulacea in both morphology
and its host. Another species, Phelipanche lavandulaceoides
Carlón, G. Gómez, M. Laínz, Moreno Mor., Ó. Sánchez
& Schneew., is also parasitic on Bituminaria bituminosa
and based on this common host could be confused with
Phelipanche lavandulacea, but morphologically and
genetically it is perfectly distinguishable. Besides, it is
limited to the interior areas of the Iberian Peninsula
(Carlón et al., 2008). is species has also been confused
with other species of the same genus for its coloration
or habit, e.g., Phelipanche rosmarina [(Welw. ex) Beck
(1921)] Ban, Galasso & Soldano, Phelipanche cernua
Pomel, Phelipanche schultzii (Mutel) Pomel, Phelipanche
heldreichii (Reut.) Soják, Phelipanche libanotica (Schweinf.
ex Boiss.) Soják (Phelipanche orientalis (Beck) Soják), but
their hosts, morphology, genetics and range of distribution
are dierent (Sánchez Pedraja et al., 2016).

Rubus austroslovacus Trávn. (Rosaceae)
Contributor – Gergely Király
Distribution and habitat
Rubus austroslovacus is a widespread central European
bramble species that was reported from Austria, the Czech
Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Germany and France
(Trávníček and Zázvorka, 2005; Kurtto et al., 2010). Rubus
austroslovacus, as a thamnophilous species preferring
semi-dry to mesic soils on limestone or base-rich eruptive
bedrocks, usually occurs in mixed oak-hornbeam forests
of submontane regions.
During the herbarium revisions in BP I found two
specimens of Rubus austroslovacus in the material
collected by Antal Margittai in the 1930s on the foothills
of the Northeastern Carpathians in the surroundings
of Mukacevo (at that time Czechoslovakia, today
Transcarpathian region of Ukraine). ese records extend
the known range by about 75 km eastwards.
Taxonomic notes
Rubus austroslovacus belongs to the taxonomically
complicated species-rich triploid group of Rubus ser.
Discolores (P.J.Müll.) Focke (Krahulcová et al., 2013). It
is characterized by narrowly to broadly elliptical leaets
with parallel margins of the rst-year stem, broadly
cylindrical to pyramidal inorescence with long erecto-
patent branches, white (rarely slightly pinkish) owers,
and densely hairy ovaries – for more details concerning
identication and comparison with similar species see

Rubus crispomarginatus Holub (Rosaceae)
Contributor – Gergely Király
Distribution and habitat
Rubus crispomarginatus was described as a regional
species from the Czech Republic and Slovakia (Holub,
1991). Later it was also recorded in southern Poland
(Zieliński, 2004) and in northeastern Hungary, whereas its
presence in Austria is uncertain (Kurtto et al., 2010). e
species occurs in sunny fringes of oak-hornbeam or beech
forests mainly on base-rich, shallow soils. One herbarium
sheet with Rubus crispomarginatus (identied earlier
erroneously as Rubus vestii Focke [= Rubus constrictus
Lefèvre & P.J.Müll.]) was recognized during recent
herbarium revisions in BP, in the material collected by
Antal Margittai in 1935 in the Northeastern Carpathians
north of Uzhorod (at that time Czechoslovakia, today
Transcarpathian region of Ukraine). is is one of the
easternmost localities of the species, and is apparently
connected with the adjacent populations in eastern
Slovakia and southeastern Poland (Zieliński, 2004; Kurtto
et al., 2010).
Taxonomic notes
Rubus crispomarginatus is a representative of the
taxonomically complicated triploid group of Rubus ser.
Discolores (P.J.Müll.) Focke (Krahulcová et al., 2013),
however, contrary to the other species, it can be easily
distinguished by the strongly furrowed stem and the
deeply serrated and conspicuously crispate leaves of the
primocane (Holub, 1991; Trávníček and Zázvorka, 2005).

Distribution and habitat
NOBIS et al. / Turk J Bot
466
Rubus phoenicolasius, native to the Far East, was brought
to European and North American gardens between 1870
and 1890 (Weber, 1995). It is naturalized and widespread
in central Europe and the British Isles (Kurtto et al., 2010).
e species has not been mentioned by Kurtto et al. (2010)
from Slovakia, however, there is a note in Medvecká et al.
(2012) that it was found as a casual alien in this country in
1948. Nevertheless, aer long search for the latter record,
we could not nd any supporting herbarium material or
exact source of the publication.
During the revision of bramble collections in Slovak
herbaria, a specimen of R. phoenicolasius collected in
1979 in Bratislava, most probably originated from a
subspontaneous stand, was found in SLO and it represents
the only known voucher for this species in Slovakia.
Taxonomic notes
Rubus phoenicolasius is a diploid member of Rubus
subgen. Ideobatus (Focke) Focke (Weber, 1995; Kurtto et
al., 2010). is subgenus is represented in the European
ora only by Rubus idaeus L. Distinctive morphological
characters of R. phoenicola sius: le aves 3–5-foliolate, densely
tomentose beneath; stem, rachis and pedicels pubescent
with reddish bristles, stalked glands and prickles;
inorescences few-owered, petals red, signicantly
longer than sepals; drupelets orange or red (Lingdi and

Taraxacum collarispinulosum Uhlemann, section
Borea (Asteraceae)
Contributors – Jolanta Marciniuk, Paweł Marciniuk,
Mateusz Wolanin
Distribution and habitat
Distribution of Taraxacum collarispinulosum is very
poorly recognized. It has been previously reported only
from central and eastern Germany (Uhlemann, 2004;
Kirschner and Štĕpánek, 2007). We found quite a large
population (consisting of about 250 individuals) of this
species on lawns in the southern periphery of the city of
Lviv. We consider the species as new native species to the
ora of Ukraine.
Taxonomic notes
Uhlemann (Uhlemann, 2004) assigned Taraxacum
collarispinulosum to Taraxacum section and to Taraxacum
melanostigma H.Lindb. group. is group is ‘transitional’
between the Borea and Taraxacum sections. e features
such as: relatively small capitulae, narrow outer bracts and
the lack of pollen indicate close relationship of Taraxacum
collarispinulosum with the Borea section. As Kirschner,
Štěpánek, and Greuter (Kirschner and Štĕpánek, 2007)
assigned Taraxacum melanostigma to the Borea section
based on the same characters, we incline to the view that
Taraxacum collarispinulosum should also be included in
the Borea section. Main diagnostic features of Taraxacum
collarispinulosum (Figure 6) are: green to grey-green
leaves, usually smooth or poorly hairy lateral lobes in
(5–)6–7 pairs, deltoid, patent or slightly recurved, acute,
while upper edge usually with parallel cut or large tooth,
more rarely with a row of small teeth; terminal lobe
usually small, oen ligulate-elongated; interlobes acute,
oen tar-coloured; petiole narrowly winged, pale violet,
midrib green or brown-ushed; scape below the capitulum
covered densely with araneous hairs; involucre blackish;
outer bracts grey-green without white edge, regularly
recurved, narrowly lanceolate, 1.5–2.5 mm wide, 14–17
mm long; capitulum, 35–40 mm in diameter, stomata
dark, blackish, pollen absent or residual; achenes dark
straw-coloured, 3.3–3.8mm long (without cone), collar-
shaped spinulose on the top; cone cylindrical, smooth, ca.
0.5 mm long; rostrum ca. 10 mm long; pappus white ca. 6
mm long.

Distribution and habitat
Taraxacum dentatum is a central European species,
occurring from eastern Germany, through Poland, the
Czech Republic, Slovakia, up to the area of Hungary
(Kirschner and Štěpánek, 1998). We found three locations
of Taraxacum dentatum in the Lviv District. e species
occurred on extensively used wet meadows, preferring
places with low vegetation. In total, the population consisted
of several hundred individuals. In Ukraine (similarly as in
other countries), it is probably a rare species. According to
our study, T. dentatum should be now regarded as a new
native species to Ukraine.
Taxonomic notes
Taraxacum dentatum sect. Palustria (Figure 6) is
included by Kirschner and Štĕpánek (1998) to the group
of Taraxacum turfosum (Sch.Bip.) Soest and Taraxacum
dentatum. e two species dier in achenes length (ca.
3.5 mm vs. ca. 4 mm, respectively) and shape of the distal
margins of lateral lobes (Taraxacum dentatum has dentate
Taraxacum turfosum has entire margins). Main diagnostic
features of Taraxacum dentatum are: leaves erect and
straight, narrow, up to 1.5 cm wide, medium-green,
sinuate-dentate or deeply lobed, more rarely only toothed;
lateral lobes 2 or 3, (rarely more), slightly recurved, wide-
triangular, upper edge straight, usually toothed; terminal
lobe narrow-triangular, fairly sharp-ended, interlobes short
or medium-sized, entire; petiole narrow, purple; scape
pale brownish-greenish, sparsely covered with araneous
hairs capitulum, 2–3 cm in diameter, stigmata greenish-
greyish, pollen present; outer bracts (11–)12–14(–18),
loosely adpressed or sometimes recurved at the base,
not imbricate, smooth, non-ciliate, narrowly lanceolate,
6.5–8.5 mm long, 1.5–2.8 mm wide, their edge sometimes
clearly narrower than the rest part of the bract; borders of
bracts indistinct, greenish to whitish-greenish, 0.4–0.9 mm
wide (together with membranous 0.1–0.2 mm wide edge),
gradually turning into the middle part; achenes (2.9–)3.3–
3.8 mm long, spinulose on the top, fairly rapidly narrowing

Taraxacum gelertii is the most widespread species from
the subatlantic section Naevosa. It has been reported from
Portugal, Belgium, the British Isles, Denmark, Germany, the
Czech Republic, Poland, Sweden, Finland, Latvia and Estonia
(Kirschner and Štĕpánek, 2007). For the rst time the species
was found in Ukraine in three localities (several hundred
individuals) where it grew mainly on wet meadows, rarely
in anthropogenic habitats: parks, urban lawns, cemeteries.
To our study, T. gelertii should be regarded as a new native
species (and the section Naevosa as a new section) to the
ora of Ukraine.
Taxonomic notes
Taraxacum gelertii (together with Taraxacum praestans
H.Lindb. and Taraxacum adamii C.Claire) occupies a
marginal position within the section Naevosa. is is due to
the lack of scattered spots on the leaf, which are characteristic
for this section. Taraxacum gelertii (Figure 6) clearly diers
from Taraxacum adamii and Taraxacum praestans by having
green, not purple, leaf midrib. Main diagnostic features of
Taraxacum galertii are: leaves usually nearly erect, greyish-
green, usually shallowly lobed, more rarely only denticulate;
lateral lobes (small lobes, teeth) usually 3–4(–5), protruded
at the right angle, narrowly triangular or nearly linear
(in young plants developing under extreme conditions),
irregularly denticulate or small-lobed, upper edge usually
concave; interlobes denticulate and small-lobed, terminal
lobe small, triangular; petiole narrow, pale purple; scape
suused with brownish-purple, araneous hairy; capitulum
2.5–3.0 cm in diameter, owers yellow; stomata green;
pollen present; the outer bracts (10–)13–15, adpressed to
loosely adpressed, not imbricate, ciliated, blackish, narrowly
lanceolate or lanceolate (6.5–)7.0–8.0(–9.5) mm long,
(2.7–)2.9–3.3 mm wide; border of bracts distinctly limited
to whitish and narrow 0.2–0.3 mm wide edge; achenes 4.2–
4.5 mm long, evidently spinulose on the top, fairly rapidly
narrowing into +/- cylindrical cone 0.9–1.0 mm long;
rostrum 7.0–8.0 mm long; pappus 5.5–6.0 mm long.

northern Austria, eastern and central Germany, and very
rarely in Hungary, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina
(Kirschner and Štěpánek, 1998). We found ve populations
of T. paucilobum (a total of 1000 individuals). e species
occurred on extensively used wet meadows and wet
pastures. To our knowledge, T. paucilobum is a new, native

species to Ukraine. It is probably the most common species
from the section Palustria in western Ukraine.
Taxonomic notes
Taraxacum paucilobum sect. Palustria (Figure 6)
is included in the group of Taraxacum paucilobum
and Taraxacum vindobonense Soest by Kirschner and
Štĕpánek (Kirschner and Štěpánek, 1998). It diers from
the other species of the group (especially from the most
similar Taraxacum polonicum Małecka & Soest and
Taraxacum vindobonense), by having slender achenes
with a short rostrum, typically shallowly lobed leaves
and tightly adpressed outer bracts. Taraxacum polonicum
and Taraxacum vindobonense have thicker achenes,
dierent leaf shape and loosely adpressed outer bracts.
Main diagnostic features of Taraxacum paucilobum are:
leaves prostrate to horizontally erected, longitudinally
reversely lanceolate, medium-green, sinuate-serrated,
sinuate-small lobate or lobate, more rarely almost entire;
lateral lobes 2–3, more or less triangular; terminal lobe
oen elongated; petiole narrow, oen long, purple; scape
usually almost bare (below the capitulum very sparsely
covered with araneous hairs), purplish from the top;
capitulum small, 2.0–2.5 cm in diameter, owers yellow;
outer bracts 10–12, closely adpressed, not imbricate,
sparsely ciliated, dark green and usually redish on the top,
lanceolate or widely lanceolate, 4.0–6.0 mm long, 2.5–3.0
mm wide; borders of bracts +/- visible, pale greenish and
suused with pink, 0.5–1.0 mm wide membranous edge
+/- nonvisible, gradually transformed into the middle
part; achenes 4.0–4.5 mm long, thin (0.8–0.9 mm thick),
sparsely spinulose on the top, fairly gradually narrowing
into nearly cylindrical small cone, (0.7–)0.8–0.9 mm long;
rostrum 6.0–7.0 mm long; pappus 5.0–6.0 mm long.

Distribution and habitat
In Europe, Taraxacum plumbeum is a rare species. It
has been reported so far from Italy, Switzerland, Austria,
Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Germany, and
Sweden (Kirschner and Štĕpánek, 2007). e species
occurs in dry, extensively used grasslands, on sandy forest
roads and dry lawns. We found three locations of this taxon
in the Lviv region (a total of several hundred individuals).
Taraxacum plumbeum should be considered a new native
species to the ora of Ukraine.
Taxonomic notes
In terms of morphology Taraxacum plumbeum (Figure
6) is similar to Taraxacum brachyglossum (Dahlst.)
Raunk. e two species dier in coloration of the outer
leaves (green vs. violet, respectively). Main diagnostic
features of Taraxacum plumbeum are: leaves dark green,
usually deeply cut, young leaves pilose; lateral lobes in
5–6 pairs, patent, or (in outer leaves) falcate, their upper
edge oen convex, entire or regularly toothed, interlobes
with thread-like teeth and folded edge; terminal lobe of
outer leaves usually small, triangular, while of inner leaves
oen lingulate-elongated with denticulate edge; petioles
unwinged, usually red; scapes covered with araneous hairs;
capitula convex, ca. 3 cm in diameter, stigmata (olive-
green); pollen present; the outer bracts erect, 2.0–2.9 mm
wide, 7.0–9.0 mm long, unbordered or very narrowly
bordered, usually not corniculate; achenes yellowish light
redbrown, 3.9–4.1 mm long, densely spinulose on top;
spinules fairly long and sturdy; cone cylindrical, 0.7–0.8
mm long; rostrum 8.0–9.0 mm long, pappus ca. 6 mm
long, white.

Contributors – Jolanta Marciniuk, Paweł Marciniuk,
Mateusz Wolanin
Distribution and habitat
Taraxacum portentosum is known chiey from the area
of Poland. Besides, it was also reported from few (probably
no longer existing) locations in the Czech Republic and
Slovakia (Kirschner and Štěpánek, 1998; Marciniuk and
Marciniuk, 2006). We found three populations of the
species in the Lviv region (western Ukraine). Taraxacum
portentosum was recorded on extensively used wet
meadows and waterlogged pastures. e populations of
the species included several hundred individuals in total.
Taraxacum portentosum should be considered as a new
native species to Ukraine. Taraxacum portentosum is oen
recorded in the eastern Poland, so it is also probably quite
a common species in the western part of Ukraine.

Distribution and habitat
Taraxacum telmatophilum is a very rare Pannonian
species occurring in the southern part of Slovakia, in
Hungary, and in a few localities in Austria, and eastern
Poland (Kirschner and Štěpánek, 1998) Taraxacum
telmatophilum is conned to subhalophilous vegetation,
oen growing along canals or shores of small ponds in
pastures (Kirschner and Štěpánek, 1998). A new locality
of T. telmatophilum was found in western Ukraine in
2017. It was recorded in wet pastures. We considered
T. telmatophilum as a new native species to the ora of
Ukraine. Discovered populations are located between the
northern and southern part of the species’ range.
Taxonomic notes
Taraxacum telmatophilum sect. Palustria (Figure 6)
belongs to the group of Taraxacum cognatum Kirschner

Štěpánek, 1998). Taraxacum telmatophilum is the most
similar to Taraxacum potor Kirschner & Štěpánek. e two
species dier in the shape of leaves. e leaves of Taraxacum
telmatophilum are lobed whereas those of Taraxacum potor
are usually not lobed, but only lobulate or dentate.
Main diagnostic features of Taraxacum telmatophilum
are: plants slender, 10–20 cm high; leaves usually nearly
erect, greyish-green, usually shallowly lobed, more rarely
only denticulate; lateral lobes (small lobes, teeth) usually
3–4(–5), protruded at the right angle, narrowly triangular
or nearly linear (in young plants developing under extreme
conditions), irregularly denticulate or small-lobed, upper

Viscum album L. subsp. austriacum (Wiesb.) Vollm.
(Santalaceae)
Contributors – Giacomo Mei, Adriano Stinca
Distribution and habitat
Viscum album subsp. austriacum is an Eurasian taxon.
Its range is still not fully known (Zuber, 2004). It is widely
distributed in all countries of central and southern Europe
(Uotila, 2011). It was noted on Mount Etna in Sicily one
century ago (as Viscum album L. γ laxum Boiss. et Reut.
(Fiori, 1923)). Later its occurrence in the ora of the island
was considered doubtful (Giardina et al., 2007) thus it
was not given in the Italian check-lists (Conti et al., 2005;
Bartolucci et al., 2018). However, the presence of V. al b um
subsp. austriacum was conrmed on Mount Etna in 2018.
Viscum album subsp. austriacum is a hemi-parasitic,
dioecious shrub growing predominantly in mountain
areas on the branches of some coniferous trees (Pinus spp.,
rarely Picea spp. and Larix spp.). On Mount Etna it was
found in pioneer Corsican pine forest (Camerano et al.,
2011) in communities of Junipero hemisphaericae-Pinetum
calabricae Brullo & Siracusa and other pioneer associations
occurring on lavic materials.
Taxonomy
e cosmopolitan genus Viscum L. includes
approximately 100 species (Zuber, 2004) two of which are
recorded in Europe: Viscum album L. and Viscum cruciatum
Boiss. Viscum album is divided into several commonly
accepted subspecies, which are morphologically very
similar, but parasitize dierent host species. In Europe,
four subspecies are recognized (Zuber, 2004; Uotila, 2011;
Böhling et al., 2002): Viscum album subsp. album that
parasites on on deciduous trees; Viscum album subsp.
abietis (Wiesb.) Abrom. that parasites solely on Abies spp.;
Viscum album subsp. austriacum that, as mentioned before,
is found on Pinus spp. or rarely Picea spp. and Larix spp.;
Viscum album subsp. creticum N.Böhling, Greuter, Raus,
B.Snogerup, Snogerup & Zuber which grows on Pinus
halepensis Mill. subsp. brutia (Ten.) Holmboe exclusively in
Crete.
