Abstract
The paper presents new records for 29 vascular plant species from 12 Eurasian countries. Seven taxa (Agave sisalana, Austrocylindropuntia subulata, Lagurus ovatus subsp. nanus, Opuntia stricta, Orobanche serbica, Oxalis articulata, Vitis × instabilis) are reported from Albania, one (Allium carinatum) from the Europaean part of Russia, six (Dipsacus fullonum, Gagea shmakoviana, Mentha × dalmatica, Thymus indigirkensis, Thymus sergievskajae, Viola × sukaczewii) from the Asian part of Russia, two (Agrostis sozanensis, Poa mustangensis) from China, two (Carex muskingumensis, Sedum rubens) from Poland, two (Crataegus macrocarpa, Dactylorhiza lapponica) from Romania, two (Oxygraphis delavayi, Ranunculus eryuanensis) from Nepal, two (Erigeron bonariensis, Ophioglossum vulgatum) from Tajikistan, one (Ranunculus olgae) from Kazakhstan, one (Najas guadelupensis) from Hungary, one (Orobanche bartlingii) from Armenia, one (Crataegus petrodavisii) from Azerbaijan and one (Amaranthus powellii) from Georgia. For each species, synonyms, general distribution, habitat preferences, taxonomy with remarks on recognition, and differentiation the species from the most similar taxa occurring in a given country, as well as a list of recorded localities (often far from the previously known areas) are presented.
Highlights
During the field exploration across the vast area of European and Asian countries, as well as during taxonomic revisions of herbarium material of different groups of vascular plants, we found some species which are new to the floras of particular countries or its significant regions
The purpose of this paper is to report new records for 39 vascular plant species from eight Eurasian countries
Taxonomic notes The concept of Aniselytron Merrill proposed by Korthof and Veldkamp (1984), comprising two species (Aniselytron agrostoides (Kuntze) Soják and Aniselytron treutleri Merrill), is usually used in some floristic treatments and checklists in southeast Asia [Hsu et al, 2000; Kress et al, 2003; Lu and Phillips, 2006]
Summary
It might seem that good knowledge on the general distribution of vascular plants has been attained. The present paper is dedicated to new national and regional vascular plant records, to broad our knowledge on their distribution and taxonomy. During the field exploration across the vast area of European and Asian countries, as well as during taxonomic revisions of herbarium material of different groups of vascular plants, we found some species which are new to the floras of particular countries or its significant regions (provinces or republics). The purpose of this paper is to report new records for 39 vascular plant species from eight Eurasian countries. This work aims to contribute to a better understanding of spreading directions of particular vascular plants as well as species composition of selected countries and/or geographical regions of Eurasia
