INTRODUCTION
This paper represents a continuation of the inventory of the flora of
Serbia through intensive field research, identification and revision of
specimens from herbarium collections, as well as a comprehensive review
of extensive taxonomic, floristic and phytocoenological literature. The first
such article was published two years ago (Niketić et al. 2018a) as a
preparation for the publication of An annotated checklist of vascular flora
of Serbia 1 (Niketić & Tomović 2018). In that paper, new data on taxa were
integrated, which included the following groups: Lycopodiopsida, Polypo-
diopsida, Gnetopsida, Pinopsida and Liliopsida.
In the meantime, a number of floristic and chorological contributions
have been published (Bogosavljević & Zlatković 2018, Duraki & Niketić
2018a,b,c,d, Jovanović et al. 2018, Lazarević & Zlatković 2018, Radak et
al. 2019, Süveges et al. 2019, Zlatković & Bogosavljević 2020, Sabovljević
et al. 2020; Tomović et al. 2020), as well as taxonomic (Novaković et al.
2018) and phylogeographic ones (Janković et al. 2019) related to plant taxa
from Serbia, which also contributed to better knowledge of the presence
and distribution of native and adventive flora in our country.
The second paper presents nomenclatural, taxonomic and floristic notes
related to taxa from the Magnoliopsida group, as well as some novelties
that have not been published in the An annotated checklist of vascular flora
of Serbia 1 (Niketić & Tomović 2018) because in the meantime some
significant findings for the flora of Serbia or certain administrative units
have emerged.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
In order to accomplish all the floristic and distribution data we
performed intensive field investigation, identification and revision of
herbarium material as well as checked numerous literature sources.
Collected plant specimens are stored in the Herbarium of the Natural

History Museum in Belgrade (BEO), Herbarium of the Institute of Botany
and Botanical Garden “Jevremovac”, University of Belgrade (BEOU), the
Herbarium of Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Sciences,
University of Novi Sad (BUNS), the Herbarium of the Institute for Nature
Conservation of the Vojvodina province (PZZP) (Thiers 2021) and
Herbarium of the Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics, Department of
Biology and Ecology, University of Niš (HMN).
The names and classification of families and affinity of genera to
certain families were presented in accordance with APG IV (2016) for
angiosperm families (flowering plants), with certain deviations in the taxa
of the highest rank. The nomenclature is harmonized with modern
taxonomic studies for particular groups and new taxonomic and/or
nomenclature solutions were also presented. Families, genera and species
were listed in the alphabetical order of their Latin names. Short taxon
description for newly registered taxa for Serbia is accomplished by using
numerous botanical literature, with minor modifications and changes which
are the result of herbarium specimens inspections and field observations.
In the nomenclature lists heterotypic and homotypic names are sorted
chronologically. Nomenclatural provisions are applied from ICN (Turland
et al. 2018).
Invasiveness status was determined using the terminology according to
Niketić & Tomović (2008).
Distribution of the studied taxa within the territory of the Republic of
Serbia was presented and mapped according to the grid map with squares
of 10 × 10 km, based on the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS)
projection (Lampinen 2001).

In this article, the type of C. pancicii Janka was included in C.
tommasinianus Herb. The first description and diagnosis of Janka’s plant
were presented by Pančić (1856) under the name C. minimus DC.” (from
C. biflorus group) and it was recorded for the surroundings of Jagodina
(Sugudbina village) in Šumadija region of Serbia. The geographical
position of the locality was interpreted as 20 km west of Jagodina in
Niketić et al. (2018b), referring to the village of Velika Sugudbina.
However, Pančić (1874, 1884) specified that the locality is between the
village Oparić and [Mala] Sugudbina, which is 25 km south of Velika
Sugudbina, closer to Trstenik than Jagodina. Pančić claimed that this plant
could be a new species to science, from the C. vernus group, and he did not
bring it into connection with representatives of the C. biflorus group. Even
earlier, based on Pančić’s original description of C. minimus DC.” Janka
(1868) described C. pancicii and mentions it also for Karlovo in C
Bulgaria. Although so far the original Pančić’s material has not been found,
nor has any Crocus species been found at Pančić’s locality, numerous
populations of C. tommasinianus have been observed only 8 km southeast,
between villages Lazarevac and Konjuh. Having in mind the dominant
presence of this species in a wider area, it can be concluded that the name
C. pancicii actually corresponds to C. tommasinianus.

In the traditional botanical literature sources, one or two species of the
relict orophytic genus Amphoricarpos Vis. are most often mentioned for the
Balkan Peninsula. In two species concept (Blečić & Mayer 1967, Greuter
2006+) the type species of the genus, A. neumayerianus (Vis.) Greuter, was
mainly known from SW oromediterranean Montenegro (Mt Orjen and Mt
Lovćen) including the bordering part of Herzegovina. Previously long-used
invalid name, A. neumayeri Vis., has been replaced by Greuter (2003). The
second ‘species’, A. autariatus Blečić & E. Mayer, was mentioned for a
wider area of the western Balkans, from Bosnia and Herzegovina to NW
Greece, including two subspecies: autariatus (incl. A. neumayeri subsp.
murbeckii Bošnjak) and bertisceus Blečić & E. Mayer. In a single species
concept (Webb 1976, Tan 1991) there were two subspecies: neumayeri
and murbeckii (described from Herzegovina, but by its distribution
equivalent to the then known A. autariatus). In the recent comprehensive
molecular and morphometric study of the representative populations of the
genus, Caković et al. (2015) has shown that all of these taxa can be
considered conspecific and without intraspecific taxa.
However, we believe that some obvious differences should not be
overlooked and that at least three subspecies can be identified within a
common species, A. neumayerianus. This primarily refers to a clear genetic
split (ITS, AFLP) between the northwestern (from mountains around the
Neretva river in Herzegovina and Mt Vlašić in Bosnia) and other
populations. Herzegovinian plants were previously included within subsp.
murbeckii (Bošnjak 1936, Webb 1976, Tan 1991), but with an illegitime
specific epithet (Art. 52.1) which was corrected on this occasion. The
subspecies murbeckii is characterized by denser indumentum and fewer and
smaller cauline leaves. The rest of the species range includes the type
subspecies present in Mt Orjen, Mt Lovćen and Mt Njegoš, and subsp.
autariatus (Blečić & Mayer) Niketić, Gavrilović & Janaćković that
occupies the largest part of the species distribution area (including SW
Serbia). The type subspecies (neumayerianus) was broadly accepted taxon
(at different ranks) in all traditional classifications. It has relatively narrow

92
leaves, more acute phyllaries and winged cypselae. It is also separated
genetically (AFLP and partially in plastid data) and morphologically (PCA,
DCA) in Caković et al. (2015). Transitional populations (Mt Maganik, Mt
Sinjavina, Mt Žijevo, Mt Komovi) were observed in the overlapping zone
by Fukarek (1965) (var. intermedia, nom. nud.) and also confirmed
genetically (Caković et al. 2015) (AFLP). In this study not enough
diagnostic characters were observed for “subsp. bertisceus” and therefore it
was included in subsp. autariatus. Southeastern population from S Albania
and NW Greece are also genetically isolated (Caković et al. 2015), but due
to insufficient evidence, their status remained unresolved. Consequently,
proposed classification recognizes three subspecies and it is basically
similar to that proposed by Webb (1976) and Tan (1991), except the
separation of subsp. murbeckii and subsp. autariatus.
Recent morphometric and molecular analyzes (Gavrilović 2019) and
metabolomic study (Cvetković et al. 2018) of the Balkan representatives of
the genus Amphoricarpos also confirmed our taxonomic treatment. Accor-
ding to Cvetković et al. (2018) guaianolide sesquiterpene lactones (ampho-
ricarpolides), as reliable chemotaxonomic markers, most contribute to
differences between taxa neumayerianus [“neumayeri”] and autariatus
while the compounds that contributed to the differences between “subsp.
autariatus and “subsp. bertisceus“do not have chemotaxonomic signi-
ficance”.

Until recently, this plant was considered very rare and only recorded for
Mt Korab in W North Macedonia (Behr et al. 1939a). A few years ago
Duraki & Niketić (2018a) discovered many populations on Šar Planina Mts
on the border of North Macedonia and Serbia (Metohija and Kosovo). The
taxon belongs to Alpine-Carpatho-Balkanic-W Asian complex H. djimi-
lense (prenanthoides–sparsum) which includes 17 taxa (Greuter 2006+).

Since it can be assumed that sympatric H. oroglaucum O. Behr, E. Behr &

included in its genealogy, H. brachytrichophyes could be considered as a
microspecies.

So far, the only confirmed locality of the taxon is in Mt Koritnik on the
border of Serbia (Metohija) and Albania. It was originally included in
Greek H. gaudryi Boiss. & Orph. with proposed hybridogenous origin H.
gymnocephalum < pannosum (Zahn 1921). Based on morphology and
NIKETIĆ, M. ET AL.: ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF VASCULAR FLORA OF SERBIA II
94
distribution of other Hieracium species in the environment, the new
proposed combination H. pannosum s.l. – scardicum (pannosum s.l. >
naegelianum) and specific rank would be much more appropriate. The
characteristic dark hairs at the base of the involucre are somewhat
noticeable and are probably inherited from H. naegelianum Pančić. The
specific rank of H. cernyanum and its exclusion from H. gaudryi were
indirectly pointed out by Buttler (1991), who considered H. gaudryi to be
endemic to Greece: Plants referred to the species by Zahn (1921, 1936)
under different subspecific and varietal names do not belong here”.
Hieracium cernyanum also includes forms with denser indumentum,
described as Hieracium pannosum subsp. doerflerianum Hayek & Zahn
and var. pantocsekianum Hayek & Zahn, from the same locality (Zahn
1921). The connection of these plants with H. cernyanum was also
emphasized in the protologue of subsp. doerflerianum (“inter Cernyanum
and pannosum”), enabling inclusion of subsp. doerflerianum and var.
pantocsekianum in H. cernyanum on this occasion. Plants with varietal
name were also recorded for N Albania (Mnela) (Zahn 1936). Closely
related species to H. cernyanum is H. trikalense Buttler from Pindus Mts in
Greece.

A comparison of the type material of Hieracium delpinoi Bald. (E

showed their great similarity. In addition, there are numerous records in
which these two names are listed for the same localities. Zahn (1921, 1936)

included both taxa within H. waldsteinii Tausch as separate subspecies
within separate groups (plumulosum and suborieni), but he nevertheless
pointed out their similarity. These two morphotypes differ slightly in the
density of the indumentum, but this character is very variable. Hieracium
delpinoi was recorded for Montenegro, Albania, Serbia (Metohija) and NW
Greece. Further studies will show whether it needs to be combined with
some other taxa from the H. waldsteinii complex.

This taxon is only known from the border of Serbia (Metohija) and
Albania (Mt Paštrik) (Zahn 1921, 1936). The reasons for exclusion from H.
gaudryi are similar to those for H. cernyanum (see on page 93). Although it
probably has a similar origin [H. pannosum s.l. scardicum (pannosum s.l.
> naegelianum)] and morphology as H. cernyanum, it has more elongated
and acute leaves, which indicates a slightly increased resemblance to H.
naegelianum.

This species was previously known only from Mt Korab in W North
Macedonia (Behr et al. 1937, 1939a) and recently found in several
localities in E Montenegro, SW North Macedonia, SW Serbia (Kosovo and
Metohija) and SE Serbia (Duraki & Niketić 2018b). The authors of this

polymorphic species interpreted its origin as “H. naegelianum > pseudo-
bifidum (transylvanicum-bifidum)” (Behr et al. 1937). Later, the same
authors also described H. sparsum subsp. livadicanum O. Behr, E. Behr &
Zahn from the border of North Macedonia and Kosovo in Serbia (Behr et
al. 1939b). According to them it is similar to H. sparsum subsp. pilosifrons
Zahn from E Serbia. However, it is clearly noticeable on the type material
(M 0165172) that the morphology of the involucre generally corresponds to
the ‘H. naegelianum type’ and that these specimens actually correspond to
H. oroglaucum O. Behr, E. Behr & Zahn.

This taxon is only known from two localities: Mt Korab in W North
Macedonia (Behr et al. 1937) and Crni Vrh peak on Šar Planina Mts in
Serbia (Metohija) (Duraki & Niketić 2018c). It belongs to Carpatho-
Balkanic complex H. bohatschianum (schmidtii sparsum) which includes
several taxa. Due to its elongated basal and reduced cauline leaves it could
be considered as a microspecies probably originated from sympatric
Hieracium schmidtii subsp. balkanum (R. Uechtr. ex Pančić) Niketić.

Previously known only from Mt Korab in W North Macedonia (Behr et
al. 1939a), this very rare plant was recently discovered on Šar Planina Mts
in Serbia (Metohija) (Duraki & Niketić 2018d). Although its inclusion in H.
sect. Cernua R. Uechtr. is not disputed, it is very different from H. sparsum
Friv. and has to be treated as an independent microspecies. Morphologi-
cally it is much more similar to H. naegelianiforme (O. Behr, E. Behr &

Zahn) Buttler, and according to the author of this combination (Buttler
1991) species “only superficially resembling H. sparsum”. According to
Behr et al. (1937) and Zahn (1938) possible origin of H. naegelianiforme
was interpreted as sparsum naegelianum). The similar relations can be
concluded for H. squarrosobracchiatum. The assumption of its hybridoge-
nous origin is further supported by recording the triploid number of chro-
mosomes (2n = 27) (Ilnicki & Szeląg 2011).

This plant is distributed in E Serbia and E and C Bulgaria (Stara
Planina, Rila and Pirin Mts) (Zahn 1936). The type specimen (BRNM
7179/36) was designated from E Serbia (Mt Basara) by Szeląg (2015).
According to Zahn (1936) it belongs to H. bornmuelleri group with
numerous, more conspicuous and more dentate cauline leaves. The
proposed origin of this aggregate is “pannosum >> racemosum” (Zahn
1936). Within aggregate H. bornmuelleri Freyn and H. cappadocicum
Freyn represent the Anatolian species while H. friwaldii Rchb. f. is
probably Cretan endemic. Hieracium mokragorae (Nägeli & Peter) Freyn
from Serbia, Montenegro, Albania and Bosnia and Hercegovina, and
recently described H. crinitopannosum Szeląg & Vladimir. from Bulgaria
(Szeląg & Vladimirov 2013), could also be included in the same group.

This endemic SE Dinaric plant, described from Mt Bjelasica in
Montenegro as D. nitidus subsp. lakusicii Wraber (1988), was initially
treated as Scardo-Pindic D. scardicus Wettst. (Lakušić 1966). The name is
currently only disputed in POWO (2020) [“Not accepted by Govaerts
(2000): World Checklist of Seed Plants Database in ACCESS D: 1-30141”]
and synonymized with D. scardicus. Our comparison of herbarium material
also confirmed essential differences between this taxon and Tatra species,
D. nitidus Waldst. & Kit., and similarity with geographically close D.
scardicus. However, some morphological differences in relation to D.
scardicus were also observed. Representatives of Dinaric populations have
a higher stems, ± acute leaves, shorter (relatively to the stem) and wider
basal leaves, more numerous cauline leaves, usually acuminate epicalyx

However, K. csikii clearly differs by its relatively wider and hairy leaves
which makes it closer to K. dinarica (Murb.) Borbás. Their phylogenetic
connection was also shown in Frajman et al. (2016), with a significant
distance from K. longifolia group. Allopatric and vicarious K. magnifica
Boiss. & Orph. (= K. midzorensis Formánek) occurs in the eastern and
southern parts of the Central Balkans. However, Diklić (1973) described
Knautia midzorensis f. glabrescens Diklić within the range of K. csikii (Mt
Mokra Planina which is a part of Prokletije Mts). The analysis of the
original material (BEO A464) showed that it in fact belongs to K. csikii.

Euphorbia variabilissensu Pančić, Fl. Serbiae: 612 (1874) [non Ces.,
Bibl. Ital. (Milan) 91: 348 (1838)]; K. Malý, Magyar Bot. Lapok 8(1–4): 93.
The first indication that this is a new taxon (“E. species proxima
virgatae sed diversa”) was given by Pančić (1867) for W Serbia (vicinity of
Mokra Gora). The same data was represented in the Flora of the
Principality of Serbia (Pančić 1874) as E. variabilis Ces. (currently known
only from the Alps). The first description and diagnosis of the taxon were
presented by Maly (1909) who found the same plant in E Bosnia (Dobrun)
near the mentioned Pančić’s site in W Serbia. He expressed suspicion that
the plant belongs to E. variabilis, but did not formally describe a new
taxon. He was followed by Beck (1920), who described E. pancicii based
on Pančić’s and Malý’s material. Under that name, the plant was
recognized in Prodromus Florae peninsulae Balcanicae (Hayek 1924) and
Flora of SR Serbia (Janković & Nikolić 1972), and it was also mentioned
for the flora of Montenegro (Blečić 1953). However, in the Flora Europaea
(Smith & Tutin 1968) species was wrongly treated as a synonym of E.
esula L. subsp. esula. Although this calciphyllous East Illyrian plant really
belongs to a very variable complex of the widespread Eurasian E. esula, it
differs in many morphological and ecological characteristics, that were
thoroughly presented by Wraber (1982) and accepted in Niketić (2014). In
addition, it differs phenologically by flowering already in April-May in the
lower altitudes. Nevertheless, in the current lists (e.g. Govaerts et al. 2020)
the taxon is still treated as a variety of E. esula.
The same plant was independently described by Rohlena (1913) from
NW Montenegro on the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina (Mt Maglić)
under the name E. maglicensis. Based on the following citation in the
protologue: “Rasse der E. esula L. (= E. maglićensis m.)”, it remains
unclear whether the author described the species or the variety, especially if
we keep in mind that on the original herbarium label (PRC, BM), as well as
in Rohlena (1942), the taxon was treated as a variety. However, it is more
probable that the author initially used the term “race” in the sense of
microspecies, not as an indication of rank. Hayek (1924), in addition to E.
pancicii, also mentioned this plant as E. esula var. maglicensis (Rohlena)
Hayek. Inspection of the original material of E. pancicii (K) and E.
maglicensis (PRC, BM) showed that they are conspecific, but clearly
different from E. esula. Although the name E. maglicensis has long been
neglected, it has priority over E. pancicii (Art. 11).

al. 2018). During the field trip in Mt Suva Planina in E Serbia two
individuals of East-Mediterranean A. taurica (Pall. ex M. Bieb) Endl. was
found on the edge of a mountain ridge. In the Balkan Peninsula it is known
from Bulgaria, Greece and Albania (Govaerts 2020) as well as from North
Macedonia (Matveeva 1968). Notable diagnostic characters for this plant
are white petals and conspicuous and dense scarious whitish bracts.
Unfortunately, the species was not found in the same micro-locality last
year. In the wider area of Mt Suva Planina and the surroundings of Niš,
within a radius of 12 km, all three species listed for the flora of Serbia were
reported. Asphodeline liburnica are reported for the Jelašnica Gorge
(Petrović 1882) and also was recently found in Koritnik hill in the foothill
of the Mt Suva Planina (coll. M. Niketić BEO). Asphodeline lutea was
mentioned by Pančić (1884) for Sićevačka Gorge (Vis peak), but after that
it was no longer found at that locality, but only A. liburnica previously
reported by Petrović (1882). The original Pančić’s material of A. lutea was
not found in BEOU. Niketić (2010) preliminary announced its alleged
presence in Mt Suva Planina, but this record actually correspond to A.
taurica.

POACEAE (GRAMINEAE)
Poa stiriaca Dörfl., Jahreskat. Wiener Bot. Tauschvereins 1904: 226
(1904).
This perennial grass is the only representative of P. sect. Leptophyllae
J. R. Edmondson in Flora Europaea and its distribution encompasses E and
C Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Poland and Romania). In the Balkan
Peninsula it is recorded for Montenegro (Rohlena 1942, Edmondson 1980),
Bosnia and Herzegovina (Stefanović 1960), SE Albania (De Sanctis et al.
2018) and NW Greece (Dimitrov & Vutov 2015). Previous unreferenced
and unverified data of its presence in Serbia (Svoboda 2012) was not
supported either by herbarium specimens, nor by specific data for a certain
locality, and it was disputed by Lakušić et al. (2018) and Niketić et al.
(2018b). The newly-discovered locality of P. stiriaca in Mt Suvobor
represents the most continental finding of the species in the Balkan
Peninsula. In all three localities in Serbia (Fig. 16) this species grows in
ultramaphitic geological substrate, in Erico-Quercetum dalechampii forest

APIACEAE (UMBELLIFERAE)
Sison amomum L., Sp. Pl.: 252 (1753).
In the flora of Europe and the Mediterranean there are three species of
the genus Sison L. (Tutin 1968, Hand 2011): S. amomum L., S. exaltatum
Boiss. and S. segetum L. of which S. exaltatum is present in E
Mediterranean (Israel, Lebanon and Syria), S. segetum is distributed in the
W Europe, while S. amomum has the widest distribution range that
encompasses W and S Europe, Asia Minor and N Africa (Maslo et al. 2020
and literature therein). In the Balkan Peninsula this species is present in
Albania (Barina et al. 2011), Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Romania and
Turkey in Europe (Hand 2011) and only recently it was recorded as a new
species for the flora of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Maslo et al. 2020).
Sison amomum was mentioned for the first time for the flora of Serbia
by Stojanović & Stevanović (2008) who presented the list of vascular plant
taxa for Mt Gučevo in NW Serbia. Although this was the first mention both
of the genus Sison and the species S. amomum in the flora of Serbia, the
authors did not point this out in their paper, and they did not provide any
details about the exact locality in which this species was collected.
By checking the herbarium material of S. amomum in the Herbarium of
the Institute of Botany and Botanical Garden “Jevremovac”, University of
Belgrade (50835 BEOU) it was confirmed that this specimens was
correctly identified. By providing additional detail about exact locality,
habitat and the date of collecting as well as picture of the herbarium
specimen (Fig. 6) we confirm and point out the existence both of the new
genus as well as new species for the flora of Serbia. Detail description of

Finding the species S. amomum on Mt Gučevo (locality Velika Ravan)
is not so surprising considering that the nearest newly recorded localities in
central and eastern Bosnia (Gornji Srebrenik near Tuzla and Hrvati near

this submediterranean-subatlantic plant inhabits the edges of the local roads
near Tuzla (the villages Gornji Srebrenik and Hrvati) et the elevations
between 360 and 420 m. On Mt Gučevo (locality Velika Ravan) the species
was found next to a macadam road, near the wooden fence of a rural
abandoned house where water is retained, et elevation c. 530 m.

ASTERACEAE (COMPOSITAE)
Artemisia dracunculus L., Sp. Pl.: 849 (1753).
Artemisia dracunculus belongs to the subgenus Dracunculus Besser,
series Dracunculus (Poljakov 1961). The species is characterized by a wide
but disjunctive Holarctic distribution. Most of the area covers the temperate
and boreal areas of Eurasia from the European part of Russia in the west to
Manchuria and NE China in the east (Meusel & Jäger 1992). The northern
part of the area in Eurasia includes the northeastern part of the boreal zone
of Yakutia, and the southern mountainous areas of the Turanian region. The
other part of the range includes temperate areas of western and central
North America. European part of its natural range includes Belarus,
Ukraine, Crimea and Russia to the Urals. Due to the spice tarragon, A.
dracunculus is grown throughout the Holarctic, as well as in Europe where
in many countries such as Poland, Romania, Austria, Switzerland and
France the species is naturalized (subspontaneous) (Greuter 2006+).
Its status in the countries where it is still grown (Norway, Belgium,
Germany, Latvia, Estonia) is naturalized in some places, while Serbia is
listed as a country where it is only grown. Data on tarragon cultivation in
Serbia are scarce and localized. It is stated as cultivated for Deliblato
Sands, where after the Second World War there were trial areas where the
possibilities of its cultivation were explored. According to Šajinović &
Mihajlov (1979), it was introduced in the period between 1960 and 1965 in
the localities of Devojački Bunar and Dubovac, and after only ten years it
spreads outside the plantations. According to the same authors, experimen-
tal studies of the introduction of about 400 medicinal plants have shown
that A. dracunculus is one of the four species that are best adapted to the
climate.

Almost 30 years later, this species was found along the Sušara Korn
road, c. 1 km from the place on the Korn Bunar (BEOU). The population of
A. dracunculus in this locality is small (only a dozen specimens were
found) and is located on a steamed surface of Robinia pseudoacacia L.
forest surrounded by shrubs Crataegus monogyna Jasq., Ligustrum vulgare
L. and Euonymus europaeus L. It can be assumed that this small population

originates from nearby plantations of medicinal herbs, most likely from
Korn or Sušara. It is possible that this species could be also found in other
parts of the Deliblato Sands.

Ranđelović & Stamenković (1984) were the first botanists who found
this Balkan endemic plant in Mt Rujan and near Preševo in S Serbia.
However, they published this record under the name C. nissana Petrović.
This data was also cited by Ranđelović & Stamenković (1985) (sub C.
nissana Petrović) and Zlatković et al. (1993) (sub C. napulifera subsp.
tuberosa) from the same locality. According to Greuter (2006+) Cyanus
tuberosus (Vis.) Soják (= Centaurea tuberosa Vis.) is distributed in
Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Montenegro,
North Macedonia and Serbia.
However, according to the most recent genetic, morphological, ecolo-
gical and phenological study of Skokanová et al. (2019) the C. tuberosus
group is extensively radiated and comprises nine almost allopatric genetic
lineages within eight Balkan endemic species. One of them is Cyanus
austrobalcanicus Skokanová which comprises two subspecies: C. a. subsp.
austrobalcanicus distributed in N Greece and S Bulgaria and C. a. subsp.

This Balkan endemic species inhabits rocky grasslands and rock
crevices in subalpine belt and gorges in C and E Dinarides (Horvatić 1928,
Papeš 1973). It was very often confused with parapatric Dinaric species, L.
visianii (Gjurašin) Vogt & Greuter [= L. croaticum (Horvatić) Bjelčić] and
L. chloroticum Kern. & Murb. ex Murb., that also have ± fleshy glabrescent
leaves. Leucanthemum illyricum is characterized by more robust growth,
coarsely dentate leaves and larger capitula. In the past period, this species
was also found in Mt Tara in W Serbia in many places in the rocky habitats
of Ostrya carpinifolia Scop. and Picea omorika (Pančić) Purk. commu-
nities (BEO 100016). Previous record of L. chloroticum (Malý 1934)
[“Chrysanthemum chloroticum”] from the same mountain undoubtedly
corresponds to L. illyricum. Through the revision of herbarium material, its
presence in the area of Prokletije Mts in Metohija was confirmed (BEO
25584) (Fig. 16). Previous report of L. visianii (Vukićević 1965) from the
Serbian part of Prokletije Mts probably also refers to L. illyricum.

(Galasso et al. 2018). To our knowledge, this species has not been found in
neighboring countries so far. In the urban part of Belgrade it was found in
the park-forest Zvezdara in the zone of Quercus robur L., but with
domination of some invasive and cultivated trees. Although it was found to
have escaped from cultivation, it spread to the forest ecosystem. Its
invasive status in Serbia according to criteria of Niketić & Tomović (2018)
is: A(A)c (initial phase of naturalization, also cultivated).

Species was described from SW Romania and it is also distributed in E
Serbia and W Bulgaria (Španiel et al. 2017). For the flora of Serbia it was
reported for Mt Ozren (Leskovik) near Sokobanja, Mt Stol near Bor and Mt
Rtanj (Pančić 1874, Formanek 1896, Diklić 1972, Nikolić et al. 1986). So
far, only material from Mt Ozren has been detected (coll. J. Pančić BP, W)
(Španiel et al. 2017). Its presence was confirmed on the border with
Bulgaria during field research as well as in herbarium material.

ed. 2, 5: 96 (1901).
Lychnis chalcedonica L., Sp. Pl.: 436 (1753).
The species was originally described and treated within the genus
Lychnis L., which has recently been included in the genus Silene (Jafari et
al. 2020). It is native for Central and Eastern Asia and widely cultivated in
gardens elsewhere. According to Marhold (2011) it is introduced, as
escaped from cultivation, in Finland, Italy, Moldova and Ukraine. There are
two historic specimens (1922) in BEO (5261, 5262) from NE Serbia and
Pomoravlje, but it is not entirely clear from the labels whether the plant was
domesticated or cultivated. During the pre-congress excursion of the XVII
International Botanical Congress (Vienna 2005) a locally abundant popula-
tion of S. chalcedonica was discovered along the edge of the indigenous
oak forest (Quercetum confertae-cerridis Rudski) in Mt Rtanj.

and Metohija in several publications (Ferakova et al. 2011, Amidžić et al.
2013, Tomović et al. 2014, Vuksanović 2016, Gavrilović et al. 2017), but
without a specific locality, citation of data sources or any other information.
Therefore, all of the above reports can be considered as preliminary. Area
of occupancy was estimated at about 1 km2 and subpopulation size at more
than 5000 mature individuals. It was found in subalpine belt in carbonate
rocky pastures and in the zone of Pinus mugo Turra.

Euphorbia nicaeensis subsp. glareosa (Pall. ex M. Bieb.) Radcl.-Sm.,
Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. 79: 55 (1968).
During floristic investigation in Mt Rujan Planina in S Serbia an
interesting plant from E. nicaeensis group was found on rocky and eroded
areas around the quarry (BEO 100005) (Fig. 17AB). After revision of
herbarium material from Serbia and neighbouring countries, it was
identified as E. glareosa Pall. ex M. Bieb. Although the same taxon has
already been reported in the Flora of SR Serbia (Janković & Nikolić 1972)
and many other sources, everything previously mentioned for this taxon
actually refers to E. pannonica Host (= E. glareosa var. lasiocarpa Boiss.)
(Fig. 17C), which is much larger plant, with stiff and thicker, relatively
wider leaves, with 35(7) prominent basal nerves and larger number of
rays. According to Geltman (2015, 2020) and Pahlevani (2017) E.
pannonica is a Panonnian-East Submediterranean plant (described from
Pannonian Austria) which grows most often in steppe or steppe-like
grasslands on different substrates, while E. glareosa is an Oriental-Pontian-
East Submediterranean plant (described from Georgia and absent from the
Pannonian Basin) and more associated with rocky substrate. The occur-
rence of both species in sympatry was observed in E Mediterranean (Trans-
caucasia, North Anatolia and E part of the Balkan Peninsula). In the current
World Checklist (Govaerts et al. 2020) E. pannonica is incorrectly not
listed for the Pannonian countries, including Serbia. According to the same
source E. glareosa is also absent from that region and reaches out to the
west to Bulgaria, while according to Geltman (2015) it also reaches to
Dobruja in E Romania. The new locality of the species on Mt Rujan in S

Serbia is currently the westernmost point in the species range. Its presence
can also be expected in Kosovo and Metohija, as well as in North
Macedonia. Since all previous data on the presence in Serbia were
erroneous and correspond to E. pannonica, the new record from Mt Rujan
Planina at the same time represents a new addition to the flora of Serbia.

Independently described as a variety (Grisebach & Schenk 1852) and a
species (Janka 1860) from SW Romania, near the Serbian border, the plant
was also mentioned for the eastern parts of Romania, near the Black Sea
coast (Răvăruț 1960, Beldie 1979). In our opinion the populations of this
plant are morphologically and ecologically well defined and deserve the
rank of a subspecies. It differs from the type subspecies by its glabrescent
habitus, thiny and fragile branches, narrow leaves, as well as by longer
calyx teeth. For the flora of the Balkan Peninsula it was also recorded in
Serbia and Bosnia and Hercegovina (Hayek 1929) (as S. recta var.
ramosissima) without specific localities, but since this author emphasizes
that the stems and calyx are hairy, these data probably do not refer to S.
recta subsp. nitens. It was later mentioned under the same name for S
Serbia (Diklić 1974), but this record has to be treated as erroneous. In the
same publication Diklić also mentioned possibly correct location of this
taxon (Mt Miroč in NW Serbia), but under the misapplied name “S. recta
var. fragilis”. Niketić (2005) preliminary recorded this subspecies (as S.
nitens) for NW (Đerdap Gorge and Podvrška: Ms Velika Čuka) and E (Mt
Suva Planina and Jerma Gorge) Serbia. However, the specimens from E
Serbia do not belong to this subspecies. Since all previous data for Serbia
were erroneous or preliminary, the taxon should be considered as new for
the flora. Its correct distribution in Serbia is shown in Fig. 34.

SCROPHULARIACEAE
Verbascum dieckianum Borbás & Degen in Degen, Magyar Bot. Lapok 4:
82 (1905).
This C Balkan endemic species of mullein was described from North
Macedonia near Skopje (Degen 1905), and was also reported from N
Greece and Bulgaria (Marhold 2011+). In the region of Mt Rujan Planina in S
Serbia it was also found in dry grasslands on different type of substrate (Fig.
34). The plant can be easely recognized by its brown and membranous bracts in
maturity. Population size was estimated to more than 1000 reproductive
individuals that are widespread within the area of Mt Rujan Planina. It was
previously preliminary enounced for the same area by Niketić (2000).

LILIOPSIDA
CYPERACEAE
Cyperus odoratus L., Sp. Pl. 46 (1753).
Since its first record in SE Europe in the Danube valley in Bulgaria (as
C. strigosus” Tzonev et al. 2003), this North and South American species
was expected to be found upstream along the river Danube and its tributa-
ries. This proved to be correct with the first records in Serbia originating
from habitats along the river Danube in the vicinity of Dubovac, Kovin (as
C. strigosusStevanović et al. 2004, 2005), Labudovo Okno [http://iasv.
dbe.pmf.uns.ac.rs/index.php] and Pančevo (Perić & Rilak 2017). According
to Verloove (2014) earlier records of C. strigosus from Bulgaria and Serbia
are erroneous and refer to C. odoratus. Our field investigations confirm
identity of this species in Serbia as C. odoratus and its further spread to the
west. We found this species at four localities along the mouth of the river
Drina, which are the first data for this species for the flora of Serbia proper
(it was previously published in abstract form, Stanković et al. 2018). Also,
additional data for two localities in Vojvodina (vicinity of Kovilj and Gar-
dinovci) confirm its upstream spread along the Danube (Fig. 34).

IRIDACEAE
Crocus tommasinianus Herb., J. Hort. Soc. London 2: 273 (1847)
An indirect indications of the presence of this species in the flora of
Serbia were first presented by Pančić (1856) and Janka (1868) (see on page
89) and also through the invalid name of one herbarium specimen C.
serbicus Kern. ex Maw (1881). The first reliable data on the distribution of
the species C. tommasinianus Herb. in Serbia comes from Pančić (1884) for
Sokolovik near Zaječar. This species was also mentioned for Mt Kopaonik
(Maw 1886, sub C. serbicus). Later, the species was found in Serbia in
many other localities south of the Sava and Danube rivers (Randjelović et
al. 1990).

The area of C. tommasinianus includes Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia
and Herzegovina, Serbia, Bulgaria, and North Macedonia (Pulević 1977,
Randjelović et al. 1990). According to Barina et al. (2018) the only record
for Albania (Meyer 2011) is doubtful. In the Pannonian plain, C.
tommasinianus are known as allochthonous species from three localities in
Hungary (Bartha & Király 2015): village Gyulaj in Tolna County (Jávorka
1964, Priszter 1964a,b, Suranyi et al. 2010), Villanyi hills in Baranya
County (Kevey 1990, Dénes 2000) and Soproni hills in Győr-Moson-
Sopron County (Király et al. 2009). It is also introduced as horticultural
plant in UK, Belgium, Netherland, Germany and USA (POWO 2020).
A substantial population of C. tommasinianus was found in a beech
forest not far from the village of Lug on Mt Fruška Gora. Area of
occupancy was estimated at about 200 m2 and subpopulation size at more
than 1000 mature individuals. It is the first finding of this species for
Vojvodina and the possibility that species presence in Mt Fruška Gora is
due to anthropogenic factors can not be excluded.

ORCHIDACEAE
Anacamptis laxiflora (Lam.) R. M. Bateman, Pridgeon & M. W. Chase,
Lindleyana 12(3): 120 (1997).
Knowledge of the distribution of this Atlantic-Submediterranean speci-
es in Serbia is not sufficient (Djordjevet al. 2018), bearing in mind that
the taxon was cited in the literature only at the specific rank for the flora of
Serbia, including two subspecies of Anacamptis (Orchis) palustris: elegans
and palustris (Diklić 1976). Consequently, published data on the distribu-
tion of A. laxiflora cannot be considered with certainty and therefore there
is a need for further confirmation of the presence of this taxon in Serbia. It
is assumed that most of the published records actually refer to the species
A. palustris, and primarily subspecies elegans. Recent research has
confirmed that A. laxiflora grows in the area of S Serbia, in the vicinity of
Preševo (Niketić et al. 2018a). According to the recent An annotated
checklist of vascular flora of Serbia 1, its status in Kosovo and Metohija is
marked as “n”, which means that there is no reliable data, but that the
presence is possible (Djordjević et al. 2018). Several authors have
published data on the distribution of this taxon in Kosovo and Metohija,

For the flora of Serbia it was first published by Kožuharov et al. (1981)
for Mt Kopaonik, locality Srebrnac. Afterwards, the same record was
retrieved for the Kopaonik area by Lakušić (1996), but it was never
confirmed in the field. We have found herbarium specimens from Kosovo
and Metohija province along the Ibar river valley (Kamenica Donje
Jarinje, Srbovac), Kosovska Mitrovica and Šar Planina Mts. The supple-
mented distribution in Serbia is shown in Fig. 34.

In the Flora of SR Serbia it was published for Mts Rtanj and Suva
Planina, and Brestovačka Banja spa in Eastern and Northeastern Serbia
(Vukićević 1976). It is also known from Vršački Breg in Vojvodina, where
it was found in meadow steppe communities (Vučković 1991). Recently it
was discovered in Central Serbia, on the Mt Kopaonik (Tomović et al.
2020) in ultramafic dry grassland steppe-like communities. Lakušić et al.
(2018) refuted its presence in Vojvodina, however a herbarium sample
from Mt Vršačke Planine (Široko Bilo) have been found (BUNS 00004340).
Also new field records for Vojvodina were noted in the vicinity of Mesić
(Mt Vršačke Planine).

MAGNOLIOPSIDA
ASTERACEAE (COMPOSITAE)
Carpesium abrotanoides L., Sp. Pl. 860 (1753).
Since its first official record in the vicinity of Boljevci near Belgrade
(Radulović 2002a, 2002b, also later published in Mataruga et al. 2016, Jarić
et al. 2019) and preliminary report from Apatin, published as abstract
(Perić et al. 2005), this East-Asian adventive species was almost unknown
in Serbia. Our herbarium data and field observations suggest that it is well-
established species in lowland riparian forests at few previously unknown
or, at least, officially unpublished localities along the rivers Danube, Bosut
and Sava. Its oldest herbarium record dates back to 1996. when this species
was collected at Obedska Bara. Majority of our records originates from
localities along the Danube river in the vicinity of Bezdan and Apatin,
where this species creates densely populated stands in poplar-willow forests
understory, especially at places not directly affected by floods with dense
wild boar and deer populations. Species distribution in Serbia is presented
in Fig. 34.
Its additional known records are in nearby transboundary areas of
Croatia (Panjković 1990) and Hungary (Kovács & Deme 2008) from where
it was probably firstly introduced in Serbia (its sticky and tiny fruits are
easily transported by floodwater and wild animals moving across the river).
According to criteria of Niketić & Tomović (2018) its invasive status in
Serbia is considered to be: A(A) (initial phase of naturalization).

Centaurea markiana J. Wagner, Magyar Bot. Lapok 2: 284 (1903), pro
hybr.
= Centaurea magocsyana J. Wagner, Magyar Bot. Lapok 2: 281 (1903),
pro hybr.
This centaury of hybrid origin belongs to the group of transitional taxa
between C. jacea and C. phrygia groups which also includes C.
macroptilon Borbás, C. oxylepis Hayek, etc. It was discovered and
described from Mt Vršačke Planine in Vojvodina (Banat) (Wagner 1903) as
a hybrid, C. ×markiana J. Wagner (C. [jacea subsp.] banatica ×
stenolepis). In the same paper author also described another hybrid, C.
×magocsyana J. Wagner (C. [jacea subsp.] banatica × indurata). The same
author later synonymized C. ×magocsyana with C. ×markiana within the
same combination, C. [jacea subsp.] banatica × stenolepis (Wagner 1939,
1943). According to him there is a whole palette of transitional forms in
terms of phyllaries shape, where the ‘markiana type’ is more reminiscent of
C. jacea subsp. banatica, while ‘magocsyana type’ has elongated phyllaries
with pectinate-fimbriate appendages, more similar to C. stenolepis A. Kern.
(from C. phrygia group). In the Flora Europaea Dostál (1976) neglected
the name C. markiana and treated C. magocsyana as a separate micro-
species, similar to C. macroptilon. In the case of inclusion of C. markiana
in C. magocsyana, the plant have to be named C. markiana, because
Wagner (1939) established the priority of the chosen name as first to unite
them (Art. 11.5). Further research will show whether this fusion is
appropriate or not. Plant with ‘C. magocsyana type’ have been mostly
observed in Vojvodina, while some forms of markiana type’ have been
found in NE Serbia for the first time (Fig. 16). These specimens are similar
to C. jacea but differ in tomentose leaves and phyllary appendages with ±
short pectinate-fimbriate acumens.

50 year ago (Nikolić & Diklić 1968). Its later citation for Vojvodina
province (Obradović & Panjković-Matanović 1986), despite remark that it
is “domesticated” species here, has been published without any precise
description of its exact habitats nor substantiated with herbarium
specimens. Our field and herbarium data indicate that this species should
still be considered rare casual with only two confirmed records in Serbia
(Vojvodina province Bosut forests and in the vicinity of Bezdan) (Fig.
16). Its typical habitats in Serbia are ruderal communities in wetland
forests: along a forest paths and at open habitats disturbed by wild boars. Its
closest next record is in the broad vicinity of Zagreb in Croatia (Nikolić
2020). Its invasive status in Serbia according to criteria of Niketić &
Tomović (2018) is: A(A) (initial phase of naturalization).

Erigeron sumatrensis Retz., Observ. Bot. 5: 28 (1788).
Erigeron sumatrensis is native to South America, from where it has
expanded to warm and temperate regions of the world, except to Antarctica
(Vladimirov 2009 and literature therein). Concerning neighboring countries
it has naturalized status in Slovenia, Croatia, Greece and Bulgaria and
unknown status in Albania, Montenegro and European Turkey, while in
Romania it is treated as an archeophyte (Greuter 2006+).
This adventive species was first reported for the territory of Serbia in
the form of an abstract by Niketić & Jovanović (2002) for the urban area of
Belgrade. Later on, it was also confirmed for several localities in Serbia
proper: E Serbia − surroundings of N, Leskovac and Gadžin Han by
Zlatković & Bogosavljević (2014) and NE Serbia surroundings of
Kladovo and Knjaževac and Šumadija Ripanj near Belgrade by

Erigeron sumatrensis grows in sunny warm habitats, usually ruderal
one such as: along railroad tracks, abandoned arable land, road emban-
kments and field margins, but it was also recorded in secondary grasslands,
in near proximity to railways and roads (Vladimirov 2009). The results of
our intensive field research in the area of Serbia Proper have confirmed its
great invasive potential, so E. sumatrensis recently been observed on
clearings within the forests of the lower belt in many locations.
This plant was included in the lists of invasive species of Serbia and
Vojvodina province respectively (Vrbničanin et al. 2004, Stojanović &
Jovanović 2018, Rat et al. 2016). According to criteria of Niketić &
Tomović (2018) its invasive status in Serbia is: A(N) Naturalised (to a
greater extent domesticated). A very large and dense population was also
recorded for the first time for Kosovo and Metohija along the river
Prizrenska Bistrica.

The species is listed for all neighboring countries of Serbia (Greuter

Meusel & Kästner 1994). For the flora of Serbia proper it was preliminary
anounced in Niketić (2000) for Mt Suva Planina in E Serbia.

CACTACEAE
Opuntia humifusa (Raf.) Raf., Med. Fl. 2: 247 (1830).
Cactus humifusus Raf., Ann. Nat. 1: 15 (1820) [basionym].
The natural range of this species of cactus includes arid areas of the
temperate and subtropical zones of North America (POWO). It was
introduced in a number of European countries where it is naturalized,
especially in the Mediterranean. However, it is almost the only species of
cactus that grows in the conditions of temperate-continental climate, which
NIKETIĆ, M. ET AL.: ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF VASCULAR FLORA OF SERBIA II
148
is characterized by cold winters. In the surrounding countries in Croatia,
Romania and Bulgaria, it has status of naturalized species and grows in
similar habitats as in Serbia (Korotkova & Raab-Straube 2017).
Fig. 32. Opuntia humifusa (Raf.) Raf. (Banat, Deliblatska Sands, Mramorak)
(photo M. Niketić).
The first (unpublished) record of this species in Serbia comes from NE
Serbia (Korbovska Sands near Kladovo), where it was found in 1998 (coll.
V. Stevanović, M. Niketić, G. Tomović, BEOU 12417). Ten years later, it
was observed that this small population had expanded and was showing

149
vitality. The origin of this population is unknown but it can be assumed that
the species was introduced at Korbovska Sands from neighboring Romania.
Opuntia humifusa was also recorded from SE Serbia in the valley of the
river Pčinja near the village of Jablanica in dry sandy and rocky places on
475 m a.s.l. (coll. B. Zlatković, S. Bogosavljević, 09-Jul-2016, 13837
HMN!) (Bogosavljević & Zlatković 2018, the first published record for
Serbia) (Fig. 34).
The first locality where this species of cactus was found in Vojvodina is
Deliblatska Sands: Mramorak vineyards where it was observed a few years
ago by V. Stevanović. During the field investigation in October 2020, O.
humifusa was found in several micro-localities in the wider area of
Mramorak vineyards c. about 6 km away from the center of the village
Mramorak. The origin of this population can be related to the German
inhabitants, who were the majority in the village of Mramorak before
World War II and who had its vineyards on the edge of the Deliblatska
Sands. It is assumed that O. humifusa was transferred from Germany where
it was grown on the sands of the Baltic seashore. As the vineyards were
abandoned O. humifusa spread in this part of the Deliblatska Sands in the
sandy vegetation as well as in the more open Robinia pseudoacacia forests.

Carlina graeca Heldr. & Sartori ex Boiss., Exsicc. (Herb. Graec. Norm.)
1855: n. 423 (1855).
Carlina graeca is an E Mediterranean plant recorded in Albania,
Greece and Anatolia (Greuter 2006+). Although Zlatković & Bogosavljević
(2014) did not mention C. graeca as a new species for the flora of Serbia,
they used this name accidentally, considering that it also includes Submedi-
terranean C. corymbosa L. as a synonym. Their citation of older records
(Ilić 1902 [“Ničić”], Zlatković 2006) undoubtedly refers to C. corymbosa.
The herbarium voucher (BEOU 16835) of their new finding (Mt Rujan
Planina) also corresponds to this species.

Centaurea moesiaca Urum. & J. Wagner, Magyar Bot. Lapok 6: 165
(1907) [basionym].
The first literature data on taxon C. phrygia subsp. moesiaca (Urum. &
J. Wagner) Hayek in Serbia come from Kušan (1936): “Suva planina
(Petrović), Vlasina (Pančić), Zlot kod Provalija u istočnoj Srbiji (Peliva-
nović)”. These records have not been confirmed by field research so far.
The same author also mentioned its presence in the flora of E Bosnia, but
his descriptions of plants from certain localities (tomentose leaves and
phyllary appendages with arcuate recurved, pectinate-fimbriate acumens)
did not fit the description of taxon in the protologue and they are more in
line with the characteristics of C. stenolepis A. Kern. Inspection of the
original Pančić’s material (identified by F. Kušan) from Vlasina plateau in
SE Serbia (BEOU 10518) confirmed this suspicion and specimen has been
revised as C. stenolepis. The same specimen was previously cited in
Ranđelović & Zlatković (2010), under the name C. moesiaca”. Conside-

ring the great complexity of the C. phrygia group, the presence of this
taxon in E Serbia could still be expected. For now, the presence of the
species (C. phrygia) and subspecies (moesiaca) should be denied.

CARYOPHYLLACEAE
Arenaria biflora L., Mant. Pl. 1: 71 (1767).
Despite different treatments on the taxonomic status and distribution of
A. biflora L. and A. rotundifolia M. Bieb., the original opinion of McNeill
(1963) that they are sister allopatric species has recently been resolved
(Marhold 2011, POWO 2020). Arenaria biflora is an Alpine-Pyrenean
species which presence in Bulgaria (Rila Mts) and Romania (Carpathians)
should be checked. Arenaria rotundifolia is a Central Asiatic-Oriental-East
Mediterranean orophyte which has inflorescences with several flowers and
relatively narrower and ± acute petals (vs. 12 flowers and obtuse petals in
A. biflora). According to McNeill (1963), in the central part of the Balkan
Peninsula grows subsp. pancicii (Degen & Bald.) McNeill, with obovate
(not orbicular) leaves, which “closely resembles the Central and East
European A. biflora”. In the Flora of Serbia (Diklić & Stevanović 2012)
and checklist of Albania (Barina et al. 2018) A. rotundifolia is
synonymized with A. biflora. In Greek checklist (Dimopoulos et al. 2016)
A. rotundifolia replace A. biflora. The study of the collected material
showed that all specimens from Serbia, Montenegro and Albania belong to
A. rotundifolia. This consequently excludes the presence of A. biflora in the
flora of Serbia, although there are numerous literature data for it.

EUPHORBIACEAE
Euphorbia agraria M. Bieb., Fl. Taur.-Caucas. 1: 375 (1808).
This Pontic plant is reported for the western part of its range to the flora
of Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia and Serbia (Hayek 1924). In the
Flora of SR Serbia (Janković & Nikolić 1972) only the presence of the
variety E. agraria var. subhastata (Vis. & Pančić) Hayek was mentioned,
while for the type variety it was noted that it does not grow in Serbia.
Lazarević et al. (2013) and Niketić (2014) restored the status of the species
for the Balkan endemic E. subhastata Vis. & Pančić which is primarily E
Dinaric plant, but also was reported from Bulgaria, Dobruja and North

Macedonia (Hayek 1924). However, it remained questionable whether
Pontic E. agraria M. Bieb. really grows in Serbia, and its presence has not
been confirmed yet. Some sources about its presence probably refer to E.
subhastata (treated within E. agraria) (Krasnići 1972) or maybe to some
other species (Sigunov 1965), e.g. E. esula L. On the other hand, field
verification (2005, BEO 100030) of the previous record for E. agraria var.
subhastata from vicinity of Niš (Niketić 1985) showed that the population
of this plant actually contains extremely broadleaved morphotype of
Euphorbia lucida [f. latifolia (W. D. J. Koch) Prodan]. Since this
morphotype is dominant in many populations of lowland areas of Serbia, its
relations with the common Pontic-C European Euphorbia lucida Waldst. &
Kit. should be clarified in the future.

Scorzonera parviflora Jacq., Fl. Austriac. 4: 3 (1776). [Serbia proper]
Ranđelović et al. (2008) listed this taxon for the flora of Lalinac
saltmarsh area, located in the vicinity of Niš. In fact, the basis for this
record refers to poorly developed specimens of T. pratensis subsp.
orientalis (L.) Čelak. A revision of herbarium material, as well as a detailed
observation of salt marsh habitats in a given area in the recent period,
confirmed the absence of S. parviflora from Serbia proper.

BRASSICACEAE (CRUCIFERAE)
Erysimum crepidifolium Rchb., Icon. Fl. Germ. Helv. 1: 8 (1834). [Serbia
proper]
The distribution of this C European species in Serbia has been usually
confused with the distribution of E. diffusum group. It has been partially
corrected in the Atlas Florae Europae (Jalas & Suominen 1994) in which
authors expressed doubt about the presence of the species in Serbia.
According to Niketić (1999) “only two specimens, collected in Serbia and
kept in old herbarium material, are true E. crepidifolium”. The first one was
collected by J. Pančić in the region of Srem in Vojvodina (BEOU). The
other one was collected from the modern urban area of Belgrade (Dedinje,

Košutnjak), where natural habitats under trees are still preserved (BEO).
Since the collected material was in the juvenile stage, its identification was
not certain. Recent field exploration has shown that E. odoratum Ehrh.
actually grows in this locality, which has similar dentation and hairiness of
the lower leaves in the juvenile stage as E. crepidifolium. Therefore, the
presence of E. crepidifolium in the area of Serbia proper should be denied.
However, aforementioned Pančić’s specimen from Vojvodina (BEOU) still
corresponds to this species, which is considered extinct from the flora of
Serbia.

In Diklić (1973) and other sources there are several data on the
presence of “K. midzorensis in the territory of Kosovo and Metohija.
According to Niketić (2014) and POWO (2020) this name has to be
included in very variable K. magnifica Boiss. & Orph. As mentioned on
page 99 its presence in administrative unit Kosovo and Metohija is unlikely
and all records of K. magnifica (incl. K. midzorensis) should be treated as
erroneous and attributed to K. csikii Jáv. & Szabo.

In this paper we suggest three new nomenclatural combinations and specify two new synonyms. There are five taxa (species and subspecies) of the vascular plants that are new for the flora of Serbia, and four species that have been confirmed for the flora of our country. Five plant taxa are a novelty for proper Serbia, Vojvodina, or Kosovo and Metohija, of which four are autochthonous and one is an allochthonous and invasive plant. There are twelve taxa whose presence in Serbia or in its territorial units has been refuted. the name Viola ×foliosa Čelak., which was proposed in the previous issue of this scientific journal, has been corrected to the currently accepted V. ×kerneri Wiesb.

This paper illustrates the results of a survey aimed at deepening knowledge on vegetation in which Festuca lachenalii and Ophioglos-sum lusitanicum were recently discovery on Mt. Vesuvius (Italy) after about 200 and 150 years from the last observation, respectively. Both species were previously thought to be locally extinct. These noteworthy microphytes are rare and poorly documented species within their global distribution range. They were found within a habitat of community interest (Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC), where they are subject to extensive anthropogenic impact and require urgent actions for their in situ conservation.

Aim of this work was the chemical profiling of six Stachys taxa from Balkan Peninsula: S. recta subsp. nitens, S. atherocalyx, S. beckeana, S. zepcensis (all four belonging to S. recta group), S. alpina subsp. dinarica and S. plumosa. Dry ethanol extracts of aerial flowering plant parts were qualitatively and quantitatively characterized for their phenolic composition using the HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS technique. In total, 44 phenolic compounds were detected, belonging to three main classes of constituents: phenolic acids, phenylethanol glycosides (PhGs) and flavonoids. Chlorogenic acid was the main phenolic acid in all samples. Regarding PhGs, in all investigated extracts acteoside and lavandulifolioside were present. In S. recta group, extracts of S. atherocalyx, S. recta subsp. nitens and S. beckeana showed similar pattern considering phenylethanol glycosides, while S. zepcensis contained only the two aforementioned compounds. PhGs profile of S. plumosa extract comprised the same compounds from S. recta group, but it was also characterized by the presence of few high-molecular compounds. PhGs composition of S. alpina subsp. dinarica extract was somewhat similar with those of S. recta group and also with S. plumosa, but still specific by the presence of echinacoside and leucosceptoside A. The main flavonoids in extracts of Stachys recta group as well as in S. alpina subsp. dinarica extract were 8-hydroxyflavone glycosides (7-O-allosylglucosides of isoscutellarein and hypolaetin and their 4′-methyl derivatives). In addition, in the extract of S. alpina subsp. dinarica two luteolin-7-O-hexosides were also present. On the other hand, S. plumosa extract differed considerably containing mainly derivatives of chrysoeriol and apigenin, while 8-hydroxyflavones (isoscutellarein derivatives) were detected in traces. The results confirmed the importance of flavone 7-O-allosylglucosides at the sectional level of Stachys genus.

The paper proposes eight new nomenclatural combinations and indicates two new synonyms. There are 11 taxa (species and subspecies) of the vascular flora that are new for the flora of Serbia (of which nine are autochthonous and two allochthonous plants). Two autochthonous species were confirmed for the flora of Serbia. Six plant taxa are a novelty for proper Serbia, Vojvodina, or Kosovo and Metohija. There are eight taxa whose presence in Serbia or in its territorial units has been refuted.
Chapter
The Balkan Peninsula is one of the most important centers of orchid diversity in Europe. However, the orchid flora in the central Balkans and southern part of the Pannonian Plain is still not sufficiently known. Therefore, this chapter reviews the orchid flora of Serbia, considering its taxonomic structure, life forms, and pollination systems. Moreover, detailed insight into the chorological groups of individual taxa is provided. Long-term personal field investigations, checking and revision of herbarium material, and relevant published sources were used to complete the overview of orchid taxa present in Serbia. In total, 72 orchid species and subspecies belonging to 22 genera have been recorded in Serbia, whereas the presence of three taxa is doubtful. Taxonomic analysis shows that the most species-rich genera are Epipactis and Dactylorhiza (10 taxa each), followed by Anacamptis (nine taxa), then Orchis (eight taxa) and Ophrys (seven taxa). Examination of the life form spectrum indicates that orchids with ovoid tubers are the most numerous, followed by rhizomatous orchids, whereas there are slightly fewer taxa belonging to the group of orchids with palmately lobed and fusiform tubers. As far as pollination systems are concerned, the deceptive system is present in the greatest number of orchids, the rewarding system is the second largest system, whereas self-pollinating orchids are less numerous. Phytogeographical analysis shows domination of Central European and Mediterranean-Submediterranean taxa, followed by taxa from the Eurasian and boreal chorological groups. The importance of the Balkan endemics Himantoglossum calcaratum subsp. calcaratum and Dactylorhiza cordigera subsp. bosniaca and that of three subendemics of the Carpathians and the Balkans (Gymnadenia frivaldii, Dactylorhiza maculata subsp. transsilvanica, and Dactylorhiza cordigera subsp. cordigera) are especially emphasized. In addition, this synthesis underlines the fact that the study area provides suitable conditions for the survival of some orchid species that have southern or northern limits of their distribution in this part of southeastern Europe. Bearing in mind the great diversity of relief, vegetation, climatic conditions, geological substrates, and soil characteristics, as well as the action of historical factors, we assume that the number of orchid species in Serbia could be higher and expect that new taxa will eventually be recorded. The chapter highlights the importance of the role played by orchid life history strategies in studies of diversity patterns, as well as the need for detailed future research on the taxonomy, chorology, ecology, and conservation of orchids in Serbia.

Euphorbia L. (Euphorbiaceae), one of the largest genera of angiosperms, is represented in the Caucasus by 80 species. This paper contains a taxonomic treatment for these species and a key for their determination. For every species the following information is provided: accepted name and major synonyms with typification where possible; brief characteristics of habitats; distribution in the Caucasus and indication of geographical element (for indigenous species); and taxonomic and geographical notes if necessary. Lectotypes of Euphorbia arvalis Boiss. et Heldr., E. damascena Boiss., E. fossulata Boiss. et Gaill., E. iberica Boiss. var. intermedia Boiss., E. kemulariae Ter-Chatsch., E. notadenia Boiss. et Hohen., E. platyphyllos L., E. paralias L. and E. ruderalis Sheele are newly designated. The indigenous component of Caucasian Euphorbia comprises 73 species. The majority belong to three geographical elements: Euro-Siberian (41.10%), Irano-Turanian (20.54%) and Submediterranean (15.07%). There are also 7 alien species mostly of North American origin. Taxonomically, most of Caucasian Euphorbia species (70 or 87.5%) belong to subgen. Esula and represent 16 of the 21 currently accepted sections. The remaining ten species belong to subgen. Chamaesyce.

Epipactis tallosii is considered as one of the highly threatened European orchid species due to its local distribution and small isolated populations that are characterized by decreasing trends. The species is now enlisted in the endangered (EN) category of the Red List. Nevertheless, during the last decade, multiple new populations of the species were found in Hungary, while our feld surveys indicated that E. tallosii populations regularly occur in poplar (Populus) plantations. Here we conducted a thorough feld survey of poplar plantations, by visiting 182 plantations in Hungary and surrounding countries in the Pannonian Biogeographic Region. We found E. tallosii in 23% of the visited plantations, and counted a total of c. 4000 generative shoots. Moreover, we documented the occurrence of the species to four countries, where it has not been reported before: Croatia, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine. Alien and indigenous/mixed poplar plantations were similarly likely to harbour populations of E. tallosii. Our study suggests that the distribution area and number of populations of E. tallosii is much larger than previously assumed, and that poplar plantations serve as suitable habitat islands in the agricultural landscapes for this orchid. In the light of our results, we suggest the reassessment of the IUCN category of E. tallosii and to re-categorize it as Near Threatened (NT)

During floristic investigations of Serbia, Montenegro and North Macedonia from 2011-2018, orchid specimens from the genus Anacamptis, possible hybrids, with characteristics intermediary to species already described for these countries, were discovered. These specimens, together with all potential parent species, were subjected to morphometric analysis in order to determine their hybrid status and characters that distinguished hybrids from parent taxa. Taxonomic studies have included the processing of quantitative and qualitative characters. A total of 60 characters were analyzed, of which 45 quantitative and 15 qualitative. Analysis of quantitative and qualitative characters included 82 specimens – 60 parents and 22 hybrids. Statistical analyses included descriptive and discriminate statistics and multivariate analyses. Hybrid specimens in general had intermediate values of measured characters with different degrees of similarity with one of the parent species. On the other hand, they have higher mean values of some floral characters that may have an evolutionary potential. The possible taxonomic importance of hybrid characters is discussed. Results confirmed that the analyzed specimens are natural orchid hybrids (A. × parvifolia, A. × timbali and A. × gennarii) and represent new plant taxa for the flora of investigated countries.

The systematization of species in plant taxonomy based on the phylogenetic relationships among them are of utmost importance and also very challenging in large genera. In those, phylogenetic results often may suggest substantially different relationships than previous classifications, and call for large‐scale taxonomic revisions. Delimitation of the genus Silene has been and is still somewhat controversial, and recent molecular phylogenetic studies have settled several monophyletic groups that differ substantially from previous taxonomies. The infrageneric taxonomy of Silene s.str. has not been updated as a whole taking the phylogenetic information into account. In this study, we review previous phylogenetic results based on multiple loci, and conducted comprehensive gene tree analyses based on the nrDNA ITS and cpDNA rps16 regions for 1586 and 944 samples representing 415 and 397 species, respectively, including Silene and its allies, as well as a species tree analysis including 262 samples representing 243 species. We sampled representatives from all 44 sections recognized in the most recent global revision of the genus. The results support the recognition of three subgenera, i.e., S. subg. Behenantha , S. subg. Lychnis and S . subg. Silene , which is partly in agreement with previous molecular phylogenetic findings and contradicts all previous traditional classifications. Silene sect. Atocion , with a few annual species showing a narrow distribution range in the eastern Mediterranean, is treated as incertae sedis because of its uncertain phylogenetic position, possibly due to exceptionally high substitution rates. Silene subg. Lychnis , weakly supported as sister to the other subgenera, splits into three main clades and includes four sections. Silene subg. Behenantha , which forms a possible sister group in relation to S. subg. Silene , is poorly resolved basally and includes a large number of mostly small clades recognized as 18 sections. In S. subg. Silene , 11 sections are recognized, among which four are broadly circumscribed: S. sect. Auriculatae , S. sect. Sclerocalycinae , S. sect. Silene and S. sect. Siphonomorpha . Silene sect. Acutifoliae and S. sect. Portenses are described here as new taxa, whereas new status or new combinations are proposed for S. sect. Anotites , S. sect. Muscipula , S. sect. Petrocoma , S. sect. Pulvinatae , S. sect. Sclerophyllae and S. sect. Uebelinia . Five new combinations and two new names are proposed for taxa in Silene formerly assigned to Lychnis and Uebelinia . The correct infrageneric nomenclature compatible with the new infrageneric system is provided along with synonymy and type citations. Shortcomings of this study, such as the lack of a morphological diagnostic key and sparse sampling of some large sections, are listed and discussed.

This paper presents an overview of introduced alien plant species inhabiting natural thermal waters of Serbia. We recorded the presence of six naturalised aquatic plant species, also recognised as weeds in several regions of the world. This was the first time that Heteranthera zosterifolia (Pontederiaceae), Lemna minuta (Araceae) and Rotala rotundifolia (Lythraceae) were recorded in the aquatic ecosystems of Serbia. In addition, the presence of H. zosterifolia and R. rotundifolia was previously unknown in other countries of Southeastern Europe. The study includes detailed habitat descriptions and impact assessments for all introduced aquatic species in thermal waters in Serbia. All species were prioritised for pest risk analysis using a modified version of the EPPO prioritisation process within the framework of the EU regulation for invasive species. As a result, four alien species may be considered invasive (three at EU and one at national level), while two other species did not show strong invasiveness, but still need to be monitored. In addition, risk management measures were proposed for all invasive species from this study, and they may provide implications for the theory and practical management of weeds.

Campanula versicolor is a constituent of the Campanula pyramidalis complex, distributed in the central and southern Balkan Peninsula with a small disjunct range in SE Italy. The taxonomy of the broadly defined C. versicolor was controversial in the past due to high morphological variability of the populations across the range. We used microsatellite DNA data along with morphometric analyses on an extensive population sampling covering the entire range to reconstruct the relationships among populations of the intricate C. versicolor s.l. Based on the results three distinct entities can be distinguished, circumscribed here on the subspecies level, with newly established combinations: C. versicolor subsp. versicolor, C. versicolor subsp. korabensis and C. versicolor subsp. tenorei. We propose a new taxonomic treatment of C. versicolor s.l. with description, distribution and habitat data for each of the subspecies and a key for their identification.
