Abstract
We presented the updated list of flowering plants (Angiosperms) of the Komi Republic that comprises 1211 taxa (including subspecies), 401 genera, and 80 families. This checklist based on the authors field collections data, materials from the Scientific Herbarium of the Institute of Biology of the Komi Scientific Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, published data and open-access databases. For each taxon of flowering plants, we provided a presence-absence checklist of nucleotide sequences (rbcL,matK, ITS2 andtrnH-psbA) that is available in BOLD and GenBank databases of DNA barcode data. The presented dataset will promote the identification of potentially new species (including endemic taxa) for molecular taxonomy and including of new sequences into the global database of BOLD Systems using the regional flora as model object.
Highlights
Among the regional flowering plants, which are stored in the herbarium of the Institute of Biology of the Komi Scientific Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, there are endemic species of the northeast of European Russia, the Ural Mountains, and the Arctic, and the species represented by the regional isolated populations
We provided an updated checklist of flowering plant species of the Komi Republic
The list of plant species has high value for floristic changes monitoring in the northeast of European Russia
Summary
The region is distinguished by a replacement of European floristic elements with Asian ones in the latitudinal direction, and in longitudinal direction with a replacement of complexes of forest-steppe and nemoral species by representatives of the northern Arctic-Alpine, Hypoarctic and Arctic complexes (Flora of Northeast of the European part of the USSR 1974, 1976a, 1976b, 1977). All these affect the originality of the regional flora and undoubtedly determine the speciation and species distribution and divergence during the evolution. Revisions of regional flora and herbarium collections are crucial for understanding the regional biodiversity and native plant species distribution, and floristic changes monitoring
