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 four years ago (Niketić et al. 2018) 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.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The same methods and principles for nomenclature and chorological
revision were applied as in Niketić et al. (2018).

This nothotaxon was described from the vicinity of Budapest (Hungary)
and Rakovac monastery in the Srem region (Vojvodina). So far, it has not
been found in the field or in the herbarium, and the only informations
available to us are the description and illustration in the protologue
(Wagner 1910). The existence of C. ×extranea Beck ex Gugler [C. jacea
subsp. jacea × C. nigrescens subsp. nigrescens] led to this new combi-
nation and the automatic establishment of the autonym, C. ×extranea
nothosubsp. extranea. It is worth to mention that one of the parents [C.
nigrescens subsp. vochinensis (W. D. J. Koch) Nyman] has not been found
and reported for Serbia so far, and its closest location was reported in the
vicinity of Požega in NE Croatia (Wagner 1910).

The hybrid was described from western Romania and the vicinity of
Vršac in the Banat region (Vojvodina). Up to now, it has also not been
found in the field or in the herbarium, and the only informations available
to us are the description and illustration in the protologue (Wagner 1910).
While C. jacea subsp. banatica Hayek is widespread in the vicinity of
Vršac, the presence of another parental species (C. nigrescens Willd.) in
Vojvodina was only mentioned for Bačka region in Vojvodina (Kovács
1929, Boža 1979).

type: BEOU 11594!
Taxon was originally published by Zahn (1922) based on material of J.
Pančić in WU. Zahn emphasized on a separate label that the herbarium
specimen was explicitly intended for the original publication. Since there is
no other specimen in WU, the specimen is designated as the holotype.
Hybridogenous combination “H. sparsum-racemosum” was assumed for H.
pseuderiopus Zahn in its protologue in the same publication (Zahn 1922).
However, at the beginning of the description of the subspecies, H.
pseuderiopus subsp. nikolae Zahn, the same author pointed out that its
habitus is quite similar to “H. sabaudi subsp. vagi”. This is already
noticeable at first glance, but also on the basis of minute morphological

details such as the presence of very long fimbriate receptacular scales in
some individuals (Fig. 1), so the new putative hybridogenous combination
would be H. sparsum-sabaudum. Since H. sabaudum L. belongs to a
separate section compared to H. racemosum Waldst. & Kit. ex Willd., it is
quite justified to treat this taxon as a separate microspecies. Due to its
partly amplexicaul leaves, it resembles some representatives of the
aggregate H. djimilense, from which it differs by relatively rigid leaves,
fewer glandular and more stellate hairs on the peduncle and involucre, etc.

Recently, the population of this neglected stenoendemic taxon was not
exactly found at Sv. [St.] Nikola pass (at the border of Serbia and Bulgaria,
Stara Planina Mts), but a few hundred meters further west (Hajdučki
Kamen and Orlov Kamen peaks), where the rockier substrate provides
suitable conditions for its development (BEO 100155, BEO 100158). It
grows on rocky places (red sandstone and slates) in the zone of subalpine
spruce (1000–1840 m s.m.), along the edge of the forest or often on
completely open pasture slopes. It was also found in the central part of the
mountain near the main peak (Midžor), on the Vojvodin Venac – Žarkova
Čuka peaks stretch (Fig. 14). More than 1000 mature individuals were
found in the population.

This plant was described and reported from W Bulgaria [Mt Rila
(Samokov), Mt Vitoša, Pirin Mts (Suhodol)]. It was also recorded for Stara
Planina Mts in Bulgaria (Szeląg 2006). Data for Macedonia (s.l.) (Hayek
1931) administratively refers to Pirin Macedonia in Bulgaria, not to North
Macedonia. Taxon was traditionally treated as infraspecific within H.
sparsum Friv. The main reason for its rising to specific rank was its
putative hybridogenous origin, which was observed in newly discovered
populations in Serbia. In terms of size, morphology, ecology and
phenology, individuals of this species are intermediate compared to H.
sparsum (H. sect. Cernua R. Uechtr.) and H. knafii (Čelak.) Zahn [H. sect.
Tridentata (Fr.) Arv.-Touv.] which also occur in their sympatric zone in SE
Serbia. According to Szeląg (2006) H. vestiticeps (“H. sparsum subsp
vestiticeps”) could be classified between H. sparsum and H. racemosum
Waldst. & Kit. s.l., and morphologically is very similar to the Carpathian
H. fagarasense (Nyár. & Zahn) Nyár. (H. sparsum subsp. fagarasense
Nyár. & Zahn). For this reason, Szeląg (2006) excluded the last species
from H. sect. Cernua. Hieracium vestiticeps has fewer and smaller leaves
on the stem, longer acladium, different indumentum on the stem and
involucre than H. fagarasense, etc. and probably has a different origin as
well. Several other current Zahn’s subspecies of H. sparsum, with stellate
hairs on the leaves, can also be considered hybridogenous. For distribution
of H. vestiticeps in Serbia, see page 50.

Recent molecular phylogenetic studies (Urtubey et al. 2016, Smissen et
al. 2020) have shown that it is justified to separate the genus Omalotheca
Cass. from Gnaphalium L., and this confirmed Holub’s treatment in the
Flora Europaea from a long time ago (Holub 1976). For the endemic
Balkan mountain plant O. roeseri (Boiss. & Heldr.) Holub, even today
there are conflicting understandings of its taxonomic position and
delimitation of its populations. On the one hand, it is still considered to
belongs to the genus Gnaphalium, where it is either separated into two

separate species (Greuter 2006+) or subspecies (Strid 1991, Dimopoulos et
al. 2013). On the other hand, it is treated as a species of Omalotheca,
whereby no separation of populations is adopted (Hassler 2004+, POWO
2022), unlike the older understanding in the Flora Europaea which
recognizes two different species (Holub 1976). It should be borne in mind
that the two main clusters of populations of the species are geographically
isolated. The first group (roeseri) is situated in the south of Greece from the
Peloponnese (Mt Taygetos, Mt Chelmos), Mt Vardousia and Mt Parnassus,
from where O. roeseri (Boiss. & Heldr.) Holub was described. The second

BULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, 2022, 15: 27-96. 35
group (pichleri) occurs in the SE Dinaric – Scardo-Pindic mountain range,
from Pindus in northern Greece in the south, through Albania, North
Macedonia, Kosovo, Metohija, Montenegro, northwest to SE Herzegovina
(Bjelčić 1983, Strid 1991, Dimopoulos et al. 2013, Greuter 2006+, Barina
et al. 2018). Otherwise, some earlier references to the south group (roeseri)
for the flora of Albania in the Checklist of vascular plants of Albania were
treated as doubtful (Barina et al. 2018). The morphological differences
between them are given in Holub (1976) and Strid (1991). Bearing in mind
the mentioned geographical isolation and subtle morphological differences
between these groups, we accepted the treatment of Greek authors (Strid
1991, Dimopoulos et al. 2013), who considered them different subspecies.
However, current results of phylogenetic analyzes require their transfer to
the genus Omalotheca. It is noteworthy that the same combination also
appear in Barina et al. (2018) but the authors omitted to validly establish a
new combination (Art. 41.1) and also wrongly included Rohlena as the
author of combination (which actually only applies within the genus
Gnaphalium).

Pimpinella tragium Vill., Prosp. Hist. Pl. Dauphiné: 24 (1779) subsp.
tragium.
= P. tragium subsp. lithophila (Schischk.) Tutin, Feddes Repert. 79: 62
(1968).
Pimpinella tragium is a morphologically very variable and at the same
time taxonomically complex species (Bogdanović & Ruščić 2011). In
Serbia, the presence of P. tragium subsp. polyclada (Boiss. & Heldr.) Tutin
was reported in the upper zone of Mt Ostrozub, in SE Serbia (Nikolić &
Diklić 1986). Recently, one more subspecies, P. tragium subsp. tragium,
was recorded as a new taxon for the flora of Serbia. This subspecies occurs
in a relatively large population on Mt Rudina (Fig. 21), in the extreme

southeast of the country. In the new locality, the optimal habitats for this
plant are limestone rocks and screes, as well as open steppe pastures
formed on a shallow limestone substrate, at lower altitudes (Fig 4).
Fig. 4. – Pimpinella tragium Vill. subsp. tragium (SE Serbia,
Bosilegrad) (photo G. Fodulović).
Another taxon, P. tragium subsp. lithophila (Schischk.) Tutin, which
differs from the type subspecies by its dissected and ovate leaf segments,
was also recorded in the Balkans. In fact, its morphological characteristics
correspond to a large extent to the plant shown here as new for Serbia,
which could also be designated as the last subspecies. However, here we
adopt the conclusions of the taxonomic study by Yurtseva & Tikhomirov

BULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, 2022, 15: 27-96. 37
(1998), which could not confirm morphological differences between P.
tragium subsp. lithophila and typical P. tragium. The lack of sufficiently
clear evidence for the separation of the two last-mentioned taxa is based on
the great variability of the qualitative characteristics of the leaves, e.g.
incision and shape of leaf lobes, which includes the existence of numerous
transitional forms. In this way, we would support the inclusion of P.
tragium subsp. lithophila under the name P. tragium, as suggested by the
given authors. A similar concept is supported by some of the more recent
floristic and nomenclatural sources (Dimopoulos et al. 2013, Bartolucci et
al. 2018).

ASTERACEAE (COMPOSITAE)
Calendula officinalis L., Sp. Pl.: 921 (1753).
The genus Calendula L. comprises 12 species distributed in the western
Himalayas, Macaronesia, the Mediterranean region to the Sahara and the
Iberian Peninsula (POWO 2022). Calendula officinalis L. is native to the
western Mediterranean region, more specifically Spain, while it has been
introduced to the rest of Europe as well as Asia, Africa, Australia, North
and South America (POWO 2022). It is known as a medicinal plant and as
a plant grown in gardens and parks. Gajić (1975) stated that this species
grows wild in Serbia, but without naming the localities.
Two populations of this species were found during floristic surveys at
Mt Tara (June 2022) (Fig. 5) and Mt Zlatibor (September 2022) (Fig. 26).
The population at Mt Tara (Konjska Reka) counted up to 10 individuals. It
was recorded on limestone, in the community Agropyretum repentis s.l.,
with the following accompanying taxa: Agropyron repens (L.) P. Beauv.,
Rubus idaeus L., Arrhenatherum elatius (L.) J. Presl & C. Presl, Stellaria
holostea L., Stellaria media (L.) Cirillo, Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.)
Medik., Pastinaca sativa subsp. urens (Req. ex Godr.) Čelak., Vicia sepium
L., Malva sylvestris L., Galeopsis speciosa Mill. and Achillea millefolium
L. The population at Mt Zlatibor (Dobroselica) comprised three individuals
and was found on serpentine bedrock, in the community Festucetum
pratensis s.l., with the following accompanying taxa: Festuca pratensis

The localities of this species in the Tara and Zlatibor Mountains are the
first records of this allochthonous species as a wild species in Serbia. The
population from Mt Tara was found at a distance of several hundred metres
from the first inhabited houses and at an even greater distance from the first
settlements. The population from Mt Zlatibor, on the other hand, was found
at a shorter distance from the first inhabited houses, but far enough to
assume that it was in the initial stage of naturalization. No negative
environmental or human health impacts have been identified from the
spread of this species in its habitats. However, as it is an annual or biennial
species (Gajić 1975), research needs to be continued in order to determine
the rate of naturalization and its invasive potential.

Centaurea pugioniformis Nyár., Borbásia Nova 19: 5 (1943) (Figs 6, 7).
Centaurea pugioniformis Nyár. is Carpathian endemic species so far known
only from Romania in the following regions: Cluj, Braşov, Crişana, Banat
and Iaşi. It is very variable plant within whose populations several
infraspecific taxa have been described by the author of the species
(Nyárády in Prodan & Nyárády 1964). According to Dostál (1976) it
belongs to C. sect. Fimbriatae (Hayek) Dostál and it was sometimes
partially synonymized with C European-Balkan C. macroptilon Borbás
(Dostál 1976, Greuter 2006+). Representatives of the mentioned section
probably arose by hybridization between taxa of C. sect. Jacea (Juss.) DC.
and C. sect. Phrygia Pers. [C. sect. Lepteranthus (Neck.) DC., nom. inval.].
However, C. pugioniformis shares many common morphological characters
with C. indurata Janka (from C. sect. Phrygia) which is distributed in C
Europe and the Balkan Peninsula, but it has not yet been reported for the
flora of Serbia. In relation to C. indurata its phyllaries are less numerous
and have shorter, wider and less curved appendages (Fig 6).

In NE Serbia C. pugioniformis grows only in several localities in
Đerdap gorge (Fig. 14) area and it was firstly and previously preliminary
announced by Niketić (2010). It most often inhabits rocky places around
the edges of thermophilic forests with Quercus spp. and Carpinus
orientalis. The three newly recorded localities of C. pugioniformis in
Đerdap gorge represent the southernmost distributional findings of the
species and the first one in the Balkan Peninsula.
In Kazan locality (BEO 100058) C. pugioniformis was found in dry
grasslands on limestone. Population size was estimated to c. 100 reproduc-
tive individuals, but probably the population is much larger. It was not
possible to estimate the size of the subpopulations near Boljetin and Tekija
because the data comes from the herbarium collections.

Although it formally belongs to the H. bifidum group, this species, like
the next one (H. cardiobasis Prain), also resembles the H. murorum group
due to the higher presence of black glandular hairs on the peduncle and
capitula. That’s why Zahn included it into separate subgroup (“Grex. H.
subcaesium”) within H. bifidum Kit. ex Hornem. According to Sell & West
(1976) this taxon deserves the rank of species.

Distribution range of the species includes the Alps, Tatra Mts, the
Carpathians and the Balkan mountains, but so far it has only been recorded
in the Balkans for the flora of Croatia, Montenegro and Greece (Greuter
2006+). These data are actually taken from Zahn (1921) who claims that

the taxon ranges from “Illirien! bis Griechenland!”. This could mean that
the author may have seen some specimens in material from Kosovo and
Metohija, North Macedonia and Albania. While G. Gottschlich brings into
doubt on the presence of the Greek flora (Dimopoulos et al. 2016), the
presence of the species has been confirmed in Montenegro (Rohlena 1942),
and more recently it has also been found in Montenegro in several places
(coll. M. Niketić BEO). The only one sample from Serbia was collected at
the edge of beech forest in subalpine zone on Šar Planina Mts. (Fig. 26).

The original name with the epithet cardiobasis was nomenclaturally
superfluous when published (Art. 52.2) (Gottschlich 2021), although its
author (Zahn 1906) probably just wanted to point out the H. bifidum subsp.
subcaesium (Fr.) Zahn as a misapplied name in his previous publication
(Zahn 1905), rather than a true synonym. The replacing name in specific
rank (Prain 1913) is legitimate and has priority since 1913 (Art. 58.1).
Hieracium cardiobasis Prain has a broadly Central European distribution
and is in allopatry with the E Baltic H. subcaesium (Fr.) Lindeb. The
treatment of these taxa at specific rank is consistent with the concept of Sell
& West (1976). Since both taxa are assumed to have arisen from the
crossing or introgression of H. bifidum Kit. ex Hornem. and H. murorum L.
(Zahn 1921, Gottschlich 2021), there is no basis for considering them
conspecific with the former. According to Hassler (2004+) H. [“bifidum
subsp.”] cardiobasis is possibly a synonym of H. obscuricapitatum
Schuhw. [“H. bifidum subsp. obscurisquamum (Zahn) Greuter”] whereby
the presence of the last taxon is also reported for the flora of Serbia
(although it is unclear on the basis of which sources). However, despite the

BULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, 2022, 15: 27-96. 45
similarity of the leaf shape,
the taxa mentioned clearly
differ in the hairiness of the
leaves and inflorescence,
etc. (Zahn 1921, Gottsch-
lich 2021). Although Has-
sler (2004+) mentioned the
presence of H. cardiobasis
only the flora of Germany,
according to Greuter
(2006+), the taxon is also
present in the Alpine-
Carpathian countries, as
well as in all Balkan
countries, except Serbia,
Bulgaria and Turkey.
Niketić (2003) preliminary
reported this species for the
flora of Serbia without
specifying localities.
The species was found
on limestone terrains in the
hilly and mountainous regi-
ons of western and south-
western Serbia (Fig. 21).
The number of mature indi-
viduals is more than 1000.

It belongs to very complex group of H. laevigatum Willd. [H. sect.
Tridentata (Fr.) Arv.-Touv.] and is characterized by leaves that are more
grouped at the base of the stem. It inhabits Central Europe and the Balkans.
For the area of the Balkan Peninsula, it was known for the flora of Bosnia
and Herzegovina and Bulgaria. At the first time it was erroneously recorded
as “H. camkorijense Zahn” for SE Serbia (Mt Besna Kobila) (Greuter &
Raus 1998) and then preliminary announced in the abstract (Niketić 2003).
Although Niketić (2003) did not mention specific localities in the abstract,
nor did mention that the report for H. camkorijense (Greuter & Raus 1998)
was erroneous, Greuter (2006+) states that it was allegedly corrected in the
abstract.
This species was found in several places in the regions of eastern and
southeastern Serbia (Fig. 21), in montane zone and in silicate substrate. It is

often found in secondary eroded places next to dug-up forest roads as well
as in stony places in beech and oak forests. Over 10000 mature individuals
have been observed so far.

as a local endemite from SW Carpathians (Mt Retezat and Mt Godeanu),
and after Nyárády (1965), it was almost never mentioned in botanical
publications. In E Serbia (Fig. 14) it also grows in the subalpine (spruce)
zone on silicate substrate, on moist rocks next to mountain streams. Record
from Serbia was initially announced by Niketić (2003). Collected plant
from Serbia morphologically matches the specimen described as H.

001046631) [https://plants.jstor.org/stable/viewer/10.5555/ al.ap.specimen.

of the same origin and similar distribution. In addition to the main part of
the species range in the SW Carpathians, a disjunct population has also
been reported from southwestern Serbia (Metohija, Prokletije Mts).

This probably apomictic and neglected plant was previously known
only from western Bulgaria as infraspecific taxon of H. sparsum Friv.
(Greuter 2006+, Szeląg 2015). The newly discovered populations in Serbia
are located in silicate mountains of SE Serbia (Fig. 26), where there is also
a zone of sympatry of putative parental species, H. sparsum Friv. (H. sect.
Cernua R. Uechtr.) and H. knafii (Čelak.) Zahn [H. sect. Tridentata (Fr.)
Arv.-Touv.]. It was observed that some specimens can be up to 45 (60) cm
tall [vs. 20–35 cm in Zahn (1938)] and that height is shorter than that of H.
knafii and taller than that of H. sparsum. Capitula are not nodding in bud (as
in H. sparsum) but only slightly deflexed, it also blooms after H. knafii and

before H. sparsum, and there is a whole series of intermediate characters
between both parental species. While H. knafii often inhabits forest habitats,
and H. sparsum grows on open rocky places, H. vestiticeps Zahn (Niketić)

individuals was observed in the altitude range from 1000 to 1700 m a.s.l.

Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Serbia (incl.
Kosovo), Romania (casually introduced), North Macedonia, Bulgaria,
Greece and Turkey-in-Europe) and western Asia (Cyprus, Iran, Iraq,
Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey) (Greuter 2006+). It is widely
naturalised in south-eastern Australia and most common in the sub-coastal
regions of eastern New South Wales, while also present in Victoria and in
some southern parts of South Australia. Illyrian thistle is considered to be a
noxious weed in the USA (especially California where efforts to eradicate it
from the state’s flora have been implemented) (Keil 1993+). This very
robust thistle inhabits grasslands, abandoned farmland, edges of fields,
roadsides, as well as oak woodlands from 200 m to 500 m altitude (Keil
1993+).
According to Flora Europaea (Amaral Franco 1976) within the species,
there are two widely accepted subspecies ‒ O. illyricum subsp. illyricum in
W (sub)Mediterranean (“from E. Italy westwards”) and O. illyricum subsp.
cardunculus (Boiss.) Arènes in “E. Mediterranean region” and “S.
Bulgaria”. At the same time, it remained unclear which subspecies are
present in the Balkans (except in Bulgaria). It should be noted that neither
before nor after this publication were there any serious studies of
chorological and morphological differentiation of these subspecies. Hayek
(1929) reported O. illyricum for almost all regions of the Balkan Peninsula
(except Albania), but did not present any infraspecific taxa. Also, without
specifying the subspecies, it was presented for the floras of North
Macedonia (Bornmüller 1925, Greuter 2006+), Albania (Barina et al.
2018), Montenegro (Rohlena 1942) and Serbia (Gajić 1975 ‒ where it was
included in the Flora of SR Serbia, without any exact locality and with the
note “according to Hayek, present in Serbia”). The type subspecies was
reported for the flora of Croatia (Nikolić 2005+), Bosnia and Hercegovina
(Bjelčić 1983) and Albania (Vangjeli et al. 2000), but it was disputed by
Barina et al. (2018). East Mediterranean subspecies (cardunculus) was only
mentioned for Bulgaria (Amaral Franco 1976, Stoyanov et al. 2021),
Greece (Dimopoulos et al. 2013), Albania (Greuter 2006+)2 and, without
exact localities, for Croatia (Nikolić 2005+). It was also reported for the
flora of Sicily (Greuter 2006+). In relation to the type subspecies,
according to Amaral Franco (1976) and our observations, this taxon has
larger capitula (corolla 30–35 mm vs. 25–30 mm) with relatively wider
involucral bracts and shorter apical spines of bracts (up to 2 mm vs. up to 5
mm). Also, only the outer bracts (not middle) are recurved or patent.
Our preliminary analysis of available herbarium and photo material has
so far not confirmed the occurrence of the type subspecies on the Balkan

in Greece, Croatia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Hercegovina and Serbia
(probably the first reports for the last four countries). In Metohija region
(Kosovo and Metohija province), in the city of Prizren (Kaljaja hill) this
plant was found in ruderal habitats within the walls of old fortress, at the

reproductive individuals (Figs 13, 14). Consequently, it can be concluded
that the previous record for O. illyricum by Mustafa et al. (2015) from the
area of Metohija (Mt Paštrik) also corresponds to this subspecies.

Erysimum korabense Kümmerle & Jáv., Bot. Közlem. 19: 20 (1921).
This W Balkan endemic plant was described from Mt Korab on the
border line between Albania and North Macedonia (Kümmerle & Jávorka
1921) and it is closely related to E. pulchellum (Willd.) Boiss. but has
smaller leaves (the upper ones wider in the upper part), smaller flowers,
longer style, stigma style is clearly wider, and siliqua is densely grey
pubescent. This species was not included in the Flora of SR Serbia (Nikolić
1972) but it was erroneously reported from south Serbia (Kosovo province)
by Polatschek (2013). However, all cited localities are actually situated in
North Macedonia, including Aleksandrov Vis and Rudoka peaks on Šar
Planina Mts, near the Serbian border. This point was also represented on
the map in the Atlas Florae Europaeae (Jalas & Suominen 1994: Fig. 2228)
and it was the main source (for indicating the presence of the species in
Serbia) in the on-line databases Euro+Med (Marhold 2011+) and probably
World Plants (Hassler 2004+).
Within the General collection of the Herbarium of the Natural History
Museum in Belgrade (BEO), we found two herbarium sheets from Šar
Planina Mts (Vraca and Rudoka peaks) (Fig. 26) that confirm the findings
of Polatschek (2013). Having in mind that both records are of quite old
origin (collected by I. Rudski in the year of 1939), it was not possible to
estimate subpopulations size and threatened factors for this species in Šar
Planina Mts.

FABACEAE (LEGUMINOSAE)
Cytisus striatus (Hill) Rothm., Feddes Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. 53:

Spartium striatum (Hill) Samp., Herb. Port.: 145 (1913) ≡ Sarothamnus
striatus (Hill) Samp., Anais Fac. Ci. Univ. Porto 19: 87 (1934).
Native distribution of this shrub is restricted to the western Mediter-
ranean (Portugal, Spain and north Morocco) and Macaronesia (Madeira),
while it is introduced in Argentina, Belgium, Cape Verde, Chile, France
(including Corsica) and the USA (California and Oregon) (POWO 2022).
In the Balkan Peninsula it is locally established in northeastern Greece
(Dimopoulos et al. 2013).
Cytisus striatus (Hill) Rothm. is very similar to C. scoparius (L.) Link
in their size and vegetative morphology, as well morphology of flowers and
phenology. The main differential characteristics are: (1) the number and
shape of the ridges and grooves of the stems (5 flattened ridges in C. sco-

parius, 7–10 rounded ridges in C. striatus), (2) the aroma of the flowers
(pleasant in C. scoparius, unpleasant in C. striatus), (3) the size and colour
of the ripe fruits (black and more than 5 cm long in C. scoparius; albo-
pubescent and less than 4 cm in C. striatus) and (4) the number of seeds per
fruit (20 or more in C. scoparius, up to 8 in C. striatus) (Puntieri &
Chiapella 2019).
Fig. 16. – Cytisus striatus (Hill) Rothm. – habitat in NE Serbia, Đerdap gorge
and legume (BEO 100178) (photo E. Kabaš).
According to Caramelo et al. (2022), C. striatus (Portuguese broom)
can potentially use atmospheric nitrogen in order to fertilise the soil in
which it grows. Together with other Cytisus species (such as C. multiflorus
(L’Her.) Sweet – Spanish White Broom and C. scoparius – Scotch broom),
it can colonize rocky slopes, fallows and uncultivated (agricultural) lands
and roadsides and therefore can be used to take over mainly open sites such
as logging roads, landings, skid trails, and harvesting areas.
It is interesting to note that C. scoparius was mentioned in the floristic
list of Đerdap gorge by Petrić et al. (2010) but having in mind that both
Cytisus species are shrubs and are very similar to each other, it is possible
that this record actually refers to C. striatus. In Đerdap gorge C. striatus is
distributed from Golubinje village (22.220061° E, 44.529715° N) to 3 km
in front of the hydroelectric dam “Đerdap 1” (22.489341° E, 44.691376°
N). Scattered or dense subpopulations of this species are mostly distributed

BULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, 2022, 15: 27-96. 59
along the state rod 34 within the Đerdap gorge (in a total length of 35.5 km)
(Fig. 21), and such an arrangement is probably a consequence of the
planned planting of this species during the period of construction of the
“Đerdap 1” hydropower plant, in order to prevent erosion and stabilize the
nearby limestone soil due to hydrotechnical works.
Regardless of its positive effects in preventing soil erosion, C. striatus
is recognized as one of the invasive plants in the USA California and
Oregon). Given its ability to rapid grow, it is capable to spread very fast
and can cause serious ecological problems in environments where it is not
native (Caramelo et al. 2022). Therefore, special attention must be paid to
the population size in the “Đerdap” national park, so that this species does
not threaten the populations of some endangered, rare or relict plants in this
protected area.
The presence of this species in Serbia was noticed almost 30 years ago,
and later its gradual spread was observed on several occasions.

LAMIACEAE (LABIATAE)
Teucrium ×rohlenae K. Malý, in K. Malý & Beck, Fl. Bosn. & Hercegov.
4 (Sympet. 1): 29 (1951) [T. capitatum (“polium”) L. × T. montanum L.].
This natural hybrid between T. capitatum L. and T. montanum L. was
firstly observed by Rohlena (1922) in the vicinity of Kotor in SW
Montenegro. The author provided a description of this nothotaxon, as well
as diagnostic characters relative to the putative parental species, mentioning
only the hybrid formula “Teucrium montanum × Polium” without a formal
name. The validation of the name (T. ×rohlenae K. Malý) was properly
done by Malý (1950) based on Rohlena’s original description. It should be
borne in mind that in the last century representatives of T. sect. Polium

NIKETIĆ, M. ET AL.: ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF VASCULAR FLORA OF SERBIA IV
60
subsect. Polium (Mill.) M. E. Cohen was treated in the broadest sense, and
the types of T. polium L. and T. capitatum L. were considered conspecific,
whereas T. capitatum was treated as a synonym or subspecies of T. polium.
According to Navarro (2010), within this section, the type T. polium and T.
capitatum are considered separate species, which is also confirmed in
Salmaki et al. (2016), as well as in all relevant check lists (POWO 2022),
whereby the type T. polium is exclusively limited to the area of SW Europe
and NW Africa, where the greatest diversity of the genus is recorded. On
the other hand, T. capitatum (“T. polium” sensu auct. balc.) is more widely
distributed in the Mediterranean area, western Asia and part of central Asia
(POWO 2022). Proven absence of the species T. polium on the Balkan
Peninsula also excludes the existence of its sympatric zones with T.
montanum in that area. Accordingly, it can be concluded that in the Balkans
only hybrids between T. capitatum and T. montanum (= T. ×rohlenae)
could be found, despite the original hybrid formula – T. montanum × T.
polium (Rohlena 1922, Malý 1950). However, the change of the hybrid
formula does not affect the application of the name T. ×rohlenae (Art.
H.10.2 Note 2.) (Turland et al. 2018). Even more, a true hybrid between T.
montanum and T. polium (T. ×castrense Verg.) has been described earlier
from Western Europe in SE France (Verguin 1908) and in the case of the
old classification (which treated T. capitatum and T. polium conspecific)
this name would have priority over T. ×rohlenae as in Maurer (1966).
The presence of T. ×rohlenae was also indirectly confirmed for Italy
(Maurer 1966 as T. ×castrense) and Moldova (Melnikov 2014 as T.
×bogoutdinove Melnikov) where also T. capitatum replaces T. polium.
Recently, this hybrid has been recorded for two localities in Dalmatia
(Croatia) (Zbiljić et al. 2021). Although the authors apply T. ×rohlenae as
the name of the hybrid, since they explicitly treated T. capitatum as a
subspecies [T. polium subsp. capitatum (L.) Arcang.], in that context its
correct usage through a hypothetic new status and combination (T.
×castrense nothosubsp. rohlenae) was omitted (Art. H.5.2.) (Turland et al.
2018). Due to the emergence of numerous sympatric zones between T.
capitatum [“T. polium”] and T. montanum, the authors believe that it is
likely that the distribution of the hybrid is much wider.
In the flora of Serbia, T. ×rohlenae was first observed in E Serbia
(Jelašnica gorge) in 1985 and preliminary presented in Niketić (1986).
Since the herbarium material is lost, the only evidence of this record is the
photographic material. It was observed in two localities (Prozorac and
Rudine), and during 2022 it was found again in the last locality. A
relatively small number of hybrids (< 1%) was observed in syntopic
populations of T. capitatum and T. montanum.

In 1985 most hybrid individuals were attacked by phytophagous larvae
of lacebugs – Copium teucrii (Host, 1788) (Tingidae). Collected specimens
are deposited in the entomological collection of the Natural History
Museum in Belgrade (Heteroptera – 5216). Larvae form galls in inflores-
cences, in which the flower buds and all other parts of the flower are
enlarged, and corolla parts are fused on the sides and thickened. The
flowers do not open, but the larvae form an aperture at the top. Several
larvae live inside the gala (Péricart 1990). Otherwise, these larvae were not
observed on the parental species in Jelašnica gorge although in other
localities in Serbia it was found on T. montanum (Protić 2011).
The hybridogenous taxon T. ×rohlenae was recently recorded in eastern
Serbia in Sićevo Gorge and Svrljiške Mountains. In Sićevo Gorge during
the summer of 2019, the hybrid was found on the southern slopes near the
village of Sićevo, where the parent species (T. montanum and T. capitatum)
were numerous. Exactly ten individuals were counted (> 5%, including the
parental individuals).
Three years later, during the survey of habitats in the Svrljiške
Mountains (near the Donja Glama village), another locality was found
where hybrid T. ×rohlenae occurs. The number of hybrids was not very
high and was similar to that at the previous sites. In Svrljiške Mountains,
the parental T. capitatum grows from 400 to 700 m above sea level, while
T. montanum grows in the zone from 500 to 1200 m above sea level.
Several hybrids have been found in the contact zone where these two
species grow syntopically.

According to Rohlena (1922), this nothotaxon is somewhat more
similar to T. capitatum [“polium”], and this was confirmed by recent
morphological analyzes (Zbiljić et al. 2021), which, despite the fact that

NIKETIĆ, M. ET AL.: ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF VASCULAR FLORA OF SERBIA IV
64
they are ± intermediate, showed a clear grouping with T. capitatum
[“polium”] based on the analyzed morphological characters. In terms of
phenology, both the hybrid and the parental species bloom during June in
the lower regions, starting with T. montanum which on average begins
flowering 10 days to two weeks before T. capitatum. In that period,
flowering individuals of T. ×rohlenae can also be found.

MALVACEAE
Malva verticillata L., Sp. Pl.: 689 (1753).

L., Syst. Nat., ed. 10: 1147 (1759).
Malva verticillata is a new representative of the Malvaceae family in
the flora of Serbia. The presence of this species was recorded in the
southeastern part of the country, in the Bosilegrad region (Fig. 14), where it
was probably cultivated as a decorative species, and it is assumed that it
was once also grown as a salad crop. The species originates from the
eastern parts of Asia (China), while as a naturalized or even invasive
species, it is recorded on the Indian subcontinent, E Africa, Europe and
North America (Tang et al. 2007). In most European countries it is listed as
a casual or naturalized species. In neighbouring Bulgaria, it appears as a
weed species on arable land (Markova 1979).
On the territory of Serbia M. verticillata is an allochthonous plant
whose population is stabilized in ruderal, moderately nitrified habitats in
smaller settlements. In Serbia, this species is represented by the infraspeci-
fic taxon M. verticillata var. crispa L. which is an annual plant with a leaf
margin strongly wrinkled, and blades on the distal part of the stem with
lobes bluntly triangular compared to the type variety (var. verticillata).
Pedicels are uniformly short or absent, while schizocarp is ca. 8 mm in
diameter, slightly larger than in typical variety. It blooms from Jun to
September occurring in the vegetation of Arction lappae and Onopordion
acanthii alliances. Malva verticillata should be considered to have the
status of a naturalized, non-invasive plant species in Serbia. At the moment,
the species does not pose a significant threat to the native ecosystems and
habitats in the areas where it has been recorded.

This Alpine-Balkan species was traditionally included in Alchemilla
sect. Calycinae Buser, together with A. gracillima Rothm., A. fissa Günther
& Schummel, A. firma Buser, A. incisa Buser, etc. (Walters & Pawlowski
1968). In that time, it was known from Italian Alps, and A. gracillima from
Slovenia and the Balkan Peninsula. Later on, its taxonomic affiliation was
treated very differently by Fröhner (and others). In 1990 he transferred A.
venosula Buser and some other species (but not A. gracillima) in a separate
section, A. sect. Coryaceae Fröhner, together with A. glabra Neygenf. and
many similar species mostly described by Buser (A. firma, A. incisa, A.
othmarii Buser, A. connivens Buser, A. coriacea Buser, etc.) (Fröhner
1990). Later on, A. gracillima was included in A. venosula and partially
synonymized (Kurtto et al. 2007) which is widely accepted by current
online lists (POWO 2022, Kurtto 2009+, Hassler 2004+). According to
Fröhner et al. (2012) A. venosula was returned to A. sect. Calycinae but it
was later included in sect. Alchemilla together with A. glabra (Gestri et al.
2021). In contrary, Chkalov (2020) does not recognize Fröhner’s A. sect.

BULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, 2022, 15: 27-96. 67
Coryaceae and all mentioned species (except A. glabra and A. connivens)
includes in A. sect. Calycinae with the centre of diversity in the Caucasus.
They have relatively longer epicalyx segment compared to hypancium and
sepals.
The inspection of the herbarium material showed that of all the
mentioned species, in addition to the morphologically indisputable A.
glabra, in Serbia there are still A. connivens and A. venosula (Fig. 20).
Alchemilla connivens was recorded under the current name in Janić (1989)
for Ljuboten peak on Šar Planina Mts and for the Vlasina plateau in SE
Serbia (Ranđelović et al. 2010). In other cases, due to complicated
synonymy and great similarity of species, without herbarium vouchers it is
difficult to assess which taxa are actually in question. In the Prodromus
florae peninsulae balcanicae (Hayek 1926) and in the earlier edition of the
Flora of Serbia (Gajić
1972), without a specific
locality, A. vulgaris var.
(subsp.) montana F. W.
Schmidt was mentioned
for the flora of Serbia.
Under the same name, an
Alchemilla species is also
mentioned for Stara Pla-
nina Mts in eastern Ser-
bia (Mišić et al. 1978). In
Pavlović (1955) A. alpes-
tris var. montana (F. W.
Schmidt) Schinz & R.
Keller was recorded for
Mt Kopaonik in C Ser-
bia. In some other publi-
cations (Jovanović 1955,
Janković 1967, Rajevski
1990) A. alpestris (F. W.

corded in phytocoeno-
logical relevés for Mt
Suva Planina, Šar Plani-
na Mts (Bistra) and Prok-
letije Mts (Krš Čvrlje).

and A. venosula) and for now, the only presence of A. connivens on the
Vlasina plateau (Ranđelović et al. 2010) was confirmed by herbarium
specimens (BEO). The same species was also collected from Mt Zlatar in
SW Serbia (BEO). Although A. connivens belongs to a different section
(probably A. sect. Alchemilla), with relatively shorter epicalyx segments, it
differs less from A. venosula in terms of leaf shape. According to our
observations, it was necessary to correct some comparative morphological
features for both species (such as relatively length of teeth) (Tab. 1). We
also noticed that the apical tooth of the blade lobe is significantly shorter
then the others in A. venosula, which represents a diagnostically new and
most significant feature compared to A. connivens (Fig. 23).

that are far from mountain streams, in subalpine and alpine zone. It was
recorded on a carbonate and silicate substrate. So far, no serious threats to
its habitats have been observed. According to Kurtto et al. (2007) and

NIKETIĆ, M. ET AL.: ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF VASCULAR FLORA OF SERBIA IV
70
Kurtto (2009+) it is distributed in Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Serbia, North Macedonia and Bulgaria.
Also, based on the drawing of “A. fissa” in the flora of NE Anatolia
(Hayirlioglu-Ayaz & Inceer 2009), one could rather conclude that it is
actually A. venosula or some other species.

SAPINDACEAE (ACERACEAE)
Acer saccharinum L., Sp. Pl.: 1055 (1753).
The native range of this deciduous tree is North America (from
southeast Canada to north-central and eastern part of the USA). It is
introduced in South America (Ecuador) and Asia (Korea and Uzbekistan).
In Europe it has status of naturalised plant in Great Britain, France, Poland
and Austria, introduced in Ireland, Germany and Croatia, while it is treated
as casual alien in Belgium and Chech Republic (POWO, Raab-Straube
2018+). In the Flora of SR Serbia, it is considered as a very often cultivated
(ornamental) species in tree rows, parks and suburban forest cultures
(Jovanović 1973). Until now, there were no data on the presence of the
species in natural or anthropogenically disturbed habitats in Serbia.
During field research in the surrounding of Belgrade in the year 2020,
this allochthonous tree was found in two localities ‒ Ada Huja and
Ovčanska Ada (Fig. 26). Both subpopulations inhabits hygrophilous forest
vegetation near the river banks of Sava and Danube rivers respectively, and
grows within the Salici-Populetum community. Only seedlings and
immature individuals have been observed in the locality of Ada Huja and
Ovčarska Ada. Older reproductive individuals were seen at the Veliko
Ratno Ostrvo river island, with a trunk diameter of 30–40 cm.

SCROPHULARIACEAE
Buddleja davidii Franchet, Nouv. Arch. Mus. Hist. Nat., sér. 2, 10: 65
(1888).
This decorative perennial semi-deciduous, multi-stemmed shrub is
native to C and SW China in several provinces where it can be found in
mountain slopes at elevation up to 3500 m. It is introduced in Europe in the
late 1800s, and non-native distribution extends from Spain in the west to
Bulgaria in the east and from the Mediterranean in the south to Norway in
the north. Outside of Europe it is also present in Africa (south Africa,

Zambia and Zimbabwe) and also introduced in few Asian countries (South
Korea and Japan), North, Central and South America as well as Australasia
and New Zealand (Tallent-Halsell & Watt 2009 and literature therein).
In its introduced range B. davidii inhabits anthropologically disturbed
habitats, such as urban waste grounds, clear-cut forests, abandoned
cultivated fields, transport corridors as well as quarries (Tallent-Halsell &
Watt 2009 and literature therein).
In Đerdap gorge near the village of Tekija (Fig. 26), stable population
of this new allochthonous plant was found near the Danube river in flooded
forest vegetation, together with Salix fragilis L. Individuals with white
flowers were also observed. Otherwise, this habitat is quite isolated from
settlements and zoo-anthropogenic influences. There are also our field
observations of this alien from the vicinity of Niš (near Mramor village)
and the vicinity of Novi Sad (Petrovaradin fortress), but these are casual
findings, in urban or ruderal environment, probably escaped from cultiva-
tion and up to now stable populations have not been established in those
localities.

VIOLACEAE

= Viola ×balmesii Sennen, Butl. Inst. Catalana Hist. Nat. 32: 112 (1932).
So far, this natural hybrid between V. hirta L. × V. suavis M. Bieb. has
been reported from C and SW Europe (Austria, Czech, Slovakia, Germany,
Spain) (Hassler 2004+, POWO 2022). It is a perennial plant which grows
primarily in the temperate biome.
Within the collection of Josif Pančić (Herbarium Pancicianum) of the
Herbarium of the Institute of Botany and Botanical Garden “Jevremovac”,
University of Belgrade (BEOU), we found one herbarium sheet from the

NIKETIĆ, M. ET AL.: ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF VASCULAR FLORA OF SERBIA IV
76
surrounding of Belgrade (Topčider hill) that confirm the presence of this
natural Viola hybrid in Serbia. However, this specimen is of very old origin
(collected by J. Pančić in the year of 1878), the estimation of subpopulation
size and threatened factors for this taxon could not be possible. Considering
Fig. 25. – Viola ×foliosa Čelak (Šumadija, Beograd, BEOU 3238).

BULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, 2022, 15: 27-96. 77
that both parental species grow in the same habitat in several places Serbia
(for the distribution of Viola species in Serbia see Tomović et al. 2014), it
is quite possible that Viola ×foliosa Čelak. is much more common than a
single herbarium specimen shows.

MAGNOLIOPSIDA
APIACEAE (UMBELLIFERAE)
Heracleum sphondylium L., Sp. Pl.: 249 (1753) subsp. sphondylium.
ABSENT FROM SERBIA.
Taxonomic treatment of a complex group H. sphondylium was
presented in several chemosystematics studies (Ušjak et al. 2018, 2020,
2022) where independent analyzes of essential oil constituents and
furanocoumarins from different organs yielded very similar patterns of taxa
separation. They showed that some taxa cannot be considered conspecific
with H. sphondylium L. as is the case in the traditional interpretation
(Brummitt 1968), which is still more or less generally accepted today
(Hassler 2004+, Hand 2011+). Of the taxa from Southeast Europe, the
following can be treated as separate species: H. sibiricum L., H. ternatum
Velen., H. pyrenaicum Lam. (incl. H. orsinii Guss.) and H. verticillatum
Pančić. The results also showed a considerable similarity between H.
sphondylium s.s. and H. montanum Schleich. ex Gaudin, which is why they
can be considered conspecific, with the latter taxon having subspecific rank
as in the traditional classification (H. sphondylium subsp. elegans (Crantz)
Schübl. & G. Martens).
Distribution of H. sphondylium in the narrow sense (i.e. subspecies) is
under-known and probably exaggerated, due to the fact that many authors
saw it in the context of the whole group. In our opinion it is native in W
Europe, extending to Scandinavia, C Europe and the Mediterranean region
(Ušjak et al. 2018). Our intensive field research, as well as the analysis of
available herbarium and photo material, has shown that it is absent from the
largest part of the Balkan Peninsula (including Serbia) where it has been

NIKETIĆ, M. ET AL.: ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF VASCULAR FLORA OF SERBIA IV
78
replaced by H. sibiricum. It seems that both species meet at the borders of
Croatia and Slovenia, where they form a relatively narrow zone of
introgression. It is also preliminarily established that the subspecies extends
eastward to the Czech Republic, Poland and eastern Scandinavia, so its
presence in many parts of eastern Europe may be questionable.

The only record for Serbia for this Mediterranean subspecies comes
from Meusel & Kästner (1994): “Scardus, ad vias prope vicum Vaica,
3.7.1890, Dörfler (WU)”. The mentioned location actually corresponds to
the surroundings of the village of Vejce in North Macedonia, which is
located on the Macedonian side of the Šar Planina Mts (“Scardus”).
According to Greuter (2006+) the taxonomic status of the subspecies is
doubtful.

Centaurea montana L., Sp. Pl.: 911 (1753).
≡ Cyanus montanus (L.) Hill, Hort. Kew.: 64 (1768).

This species was reported for the first time by Pančić (1867, 1874) for
mountain and hilly areas in Serbia, and was later mentioned in a dozen other
publications, as well as in Flora of SR Serbia (Gajić 1975). It is distributed in
W and C Europe, and also introduced in Scandinavia and Baltic countries
(Greuter 2006+). According to Hayek (1929) it was mentioned for the flora of
Croatia, Bosnia and hercegovina, Serbia and Bulgaria. However, our multi-
year field research and examination of herbarium material did not confirm the
presence of this species in Serbia. It is most likely that all literature data for
this species actually correspond to C. triumfettii subsp. axillaris (Willd.) Stef.

species is distributed only in E Alps and Dinarides up to Croatia. Records
from Serbia also correspond to E. odoratum and E. linariifolium.

Hesperis matronalis L., Sp. Pl.: 663 (1753) subsp. matronalis.
ABSENT FROM SERBIA.
According to the Flora of SR Serbia (Nikolić 1972) and Flora
Europaea (Ball 1993) the type subspecies of H. matronalis has lower
leaves covered with mainly unbranched hairs and it is distributed in W
Europe and goes to the east to Italy (not to Serbia). In Atlas Florae
Europaeae (Jalas & Suominen 1994) only species-rank distribution was
mapped, without infraspecific taxa and according to Hassler (2004+),
Marhold (2011+) and POWO (2022) it is native and widespred in most of
Europe (including Serbia) and W Asia. However, in samples from Serbia
we have observed only individuals with numerous branched hairs on lower
leaves. Therefore, we believe that the distribution of the type species should
be thoroughly re-examined.

CARYOPHYLLACEAE
Dianthus stribrnyi Velen., Sitzungsber. Königl. Böhm. Ges. Wiss., Math.-
Naturwiss. Cl. 1892: 15.
ABSENT FROM SERBIA.
The only data for Serbia originated from the vicinity of Bosilegrad in
SE Serbia (Gajić 1970, Diklić & Stevanović 2012). They are based on
herbarium specimens in BEO which, after revision, were found to actually
belong to the C Balkan endemic species D. stenopetalus Griseb.
Specimen examined:
Dianthus stenopetalus – JI Srbija, Bosilegrad, Mt Dukat Planina, way
to Crnook peak, 1300-1500 m, meadow, MGRS 34T FN10, coll. L.

ABSENT FROM SERBIA.
Inspection of the original samples of C. tommasinii (PAD) from SW
Montenegro and the recent material from locus classicus and surrounding
areas has shown a clear morphological pattern: calyx fine patent-hairy (not
mixed with appressed or erecto-patent hairs), stem and leaves appressed
hairy, becoming black in herbaria, leaflets ± obovate, etc. Examined
specimens from C. Bosnia, N. Montenegro, Serbia (incl. Kosovo and
Metohija) do not mach that morphology, although they are identified as C.
tommasinii or grow on historically known places for this species. In most
cases, they actually correspond to C. albus Hacq. subsp. pallidus (Schrad.)
Niketić. The isotype of C. tommasinii var. keraunius K. Malý (1920)
(BEOU) from C Bosnia also correspond to C. albus sensu lato. C. tom-
masinii is certainly recorded for submediterranean part of S Adriatic coast
and hinterland in Montenegro and Herzegovina, SW part of North Mace-
donia and probably in N Albania and W Greece. And also, according to the
ecology of the species we can suppose that all records for Serbia are
doubtful.

LAMIACEAE (LABIATAE)
Stachys leucoglossa Griseb., Spic. Fl. Rumel. 2: 140 (1844) subsp.
leucoglossa.
ABSENT FROM SERBIA.
This species with whitish flowers from the Stachys recta group was
described from the peninsula of Khalkidhiki in NE Greece (Grisebach
1844). According to Greek authors (Dimopoulos 2013), in Greece the
species seems to be restricted to the northeastern part of Greek Macedonia
and the island of Samothrace. Velenovský (1891) was the first to report it
throughout Bulgaria. It should be noted that the author did not mention the
widespread S. atherocalyx K. Koch, which also has white flowers,
indicating a possible misapplication of the name. Although both species are

BULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, 2022, 15: 27-96. 85
now considered widespread in the flora of Bulgaria (Koeva 1989, Asjov et
al. 2012), we did not find a single valid specimen of S. leucoglossa Griseb.
in the Sofia Herbarium (SOM), and they were all misidentified. We assume
that this (sub)Mediterranean species is actually restricted in Bulgaria to the
southern Rhodopes Mts towards the border with Greece. Future research
will determine the actual size of the species’ range. According to Matevski
(2021), there is no evidence for the occurrence of S. leucoglossa in the flora
of North Macedonia and previous reports actually refer to the local endemic
S. babunensis Micevski.
Considering that the range of this thermophilic species is probably
much smaller than was thought until recently, its occurrence in Serbia is
almost impossible. Especially, considering that the only information about
its presence comes from Hayek (1929), who only refers in general to its
occurrence in the flora of Serbia, without giving a specific locality. This
report was later included in the Flora of SR Serbia (Diklić 1974). Hayek’s
data for Serbia and Macedonia (probably for the part of Greek Macedonia,
not the present-day North Macedonia) were probably the source for POWO
(1922), indicating the presence of this species on the territory of former
Yugoslavia.

According to Kurtto et al. (2007) and Kurtto (2009+) this species is
widespread in European mountain massifs (Pyrenees, Alps, Tatra, Carpathi-
ans, Balkan mountains) and Anatolia. The last occurrence in NE Turkey
(Hayirlioglu-Ayaz & Inceer 2009) might be doubtful, because it’s drawing
is more like A. venosula or some other species. Although A. fissa Günther
& Schummel. was mentioned several times for the flora of Serbia, a review
of the herbarium material indicated that these data actually refer to A.
venosula Buser (see on page 66). The species was recorded for Šar Planina
Mts (Bornmüller 1926, as A. glaberrima, Janić 1984, as A. pyrenaica), as
well as for Stara Planina Mts, Mt Suva Planina and Prokletije Mts (Niketić
2000, as A. pyrenaica).

Previous data on the presence of this species in former Yugoslavia refer
to the Montenegrin part of Prokletije Mts massif (Martinčić 1990, Grbaja
and Karanfili). According to Fröhner (1990) this material needs further
study, while Kurtto et al. (2007), based on the records of Martinčić (1990),
confirmed the presence of the species but for the entire territory of “Serbia
and Montenegro”, which existed as a state at that time. Finally, Kurtto
(2009+) misinterprets this record, listing the species for both Serbia and
Montenegro.
