... In terms of biological diversity Croatia is one of the richest European countries. Croatian flora, with about 5000 species and subspecies is characterized by a markedly high level of diversity per unit of surface (Nikolic et al., 2015). Genus Edraianthus in flora Europe includes 9 species, 6 of which belong to the flora Croatica (Tutin et. al., 1980: Nikolic, 2018. Edraianthus pumilio (Schult.) A. DC. is stenoendemic species of flowering plant in the family Campanulaceae, native to Dalmatia in Southern Croatia. It is a strictly protected and almost endangered species. It is widespread on Mount Biokovo, near Makarska (Nikolic, 2018). The plant is highly heliophilic, thermophilic and ...

... The information on the traditional use of herbal drugs in folk and veterinary medicine, human and animal nutrition, traditional customs and folk beliefs, and uses of plants for other purposes was recorded. The plants were authenticated by Prof. Pedja Janaćković (the corresponding author of the current study), following the professional literature [31][32][33][34][35]. Local names were harmonized upon Simonović [36]. ...

... Aubrieta is a genus native to the Eastern Mediterranean, the Irano-Turanian region (Boissier 1867, Rechinger 1968, Townsend 1980, Mouterde 1986 and to the Balkan Peninsula with 19-24 species (Mattfield 1939, Cullen 1965, Akeroyd & Ball 1993, Appel & Al-Shehbaz 2002, Phitos 2002, Al-Shehbaz et al. 2006, 2007, Ancev & Goranova 2009, Mutlu 2012, Yüzbaşıoğlu et al. 2015. Turkey and Greece are the two centers of Aubrieta´s species diversity separated by a floristic divide introduced decades ago as "Rechinger line" (Rechinger 1943, Strid 1996. ...

... 2,102,050 BP, that suggests widespread trade of this crop by the early Mediterannean inhabitants [9]. However, it is because of he presence of Austrian archaeological evidence that we know that B. oleracea did not diversify itself from England [52]. Instead, because B. nigra and B. rapa are the major crops in Austria, and since there is evidence that B. oleracea existed in Greece during this period, we know that B. oleracea was absent in the Eastern Mediterannean, Europe, Britain and Czech Republic, due to the lack of data from these regions during this time [53]. ...

... The sources of species occurrences were floristic publications and checklists of European countries (Online Resource 1: References). These were confirmed using Tutin et al. (1968) and online plant databases and were embedded in vegetation zones/regions corresponding to countries. Native European legume species are defined in this study as those that, besides being an indigenous member of the European flora, are also present outside Europe's political borders, e.g., in North Africa, the Near East, or in some areas of Asia. ...

The plant material collected during the field research was labeled and preserved in the " Herbarium moesiacum Niš " , Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Niš-HMN.

... As a result, several taxonomic treatments have been proposed in partial monographs and floras (e.g. Watzl, 1910; Stroh, 1942; Borissova, 1955; Hartl, 1966; Walters & Webb, 1972; Elenevsky, 1977; Fischer, 1982; Martínez-Ortega, Sánchez-Agudo & Rico, 2009), which differ substantially regarding taxonomic concepts. Moreover, taxon sampling for previous molecular phylogenetic studies has been limited (Albach, Martínez-Ortega & Chase, 2004c; Albach et al., 2004b; Martínez-Ortega et al., 2004) and the uncertainty regarding the phylogenetic relationships among species remains high. ...

... The taxonomic concept was taken from the treatment in the most authoritative continental floras: nomenclature and taxonomy follow Flora of North America (FNA Editorial Committee, 1993) for North American taxa, Flora Europaea (Tutin et al., 1964) for European taxa and The Gymnosperm Database (2009) for the taxa of all other regions. We included only approved species into the analysis because of inconsistent taxonomic treatment and poor data coverage at the infraspecific level (e.g. ...
