Abstract
The nomenclatural analysis included 12 autochthonous and mostly endemic species from the genera Atocion Adans., Cerastium L., Heliosperma (Rchb.) Rchb., and Silene L. (Caryophyllaceae). In conformity with ICBN, 12 new infra?specific taxa are described with locus classicus on the territory of Serbia. Also presented are 24 new nomenclatural combi?nations, including several for endemic taxa not present in Serbia. The nomenclature of certain taxa is supplemented by a short taxonomic-chorological review. Results of these studies will be incorporated in the next volume of "Flora of Serbia".
Highlights
The ten volume edition “Flora of Serbia” (Josifović, 1970-1976; 1977; Sarić and Diklić, 1986) is a capital-value work of Serbian botany, filling a void that existed for almost more than a century in studies on the flora of this part of Balkan Peninsula, more precisely since the publishing of Pančić’s “Flora of the Principality of Serbia” and its “Addendum” (Pančić, 1874; 1884)
“Flora of Serbia” was finished in an unusually short time for this type of large-scale synthetic work. It united mostly fresh knowledge on taxonomy, distribution and ecological preferences of taxa that were known since Pančić’s time, as well as the many new ones recorded within the boundaries of modern Serbia
Since 1986, immense quantities of fresh material have been collected on distribution, taxonomy and ecology of plant taxa; new monographs on genera have been published; new regional floras have been issued for the Balkan countries; and new nomenclatural principles have been accepted in European plant taxonomy, elucidating in a new way the validity and taxonomic position of species and genera
