Abstract
The correct authorship and nomenclature of Artemisia umbrosa ( Asteraceae), with comments on some misapplied names and distribution of the species in Eastern Europe
Highlights
Artemisia umbrosa [initially described as A. vulgaris var. umbrosa, see comments on its authorship below] is an East Asian species that was reported within its native range from the Russian Far East and Siberia, China, and Mongolia (Pampanini, 1930, 1933; Polyakov, 1961; Leonova, 1982; Korobkov, 1992; Krasnoborov, 1997; Filatova, 2003; Zuev, 2005, 2012; Ling et al, 2011; Urgamal et al, 2014, etc.)
Taxonomic conclusions of Mosyakin (1990) on alien plants of the A. vulgaris aggregate found in Ukraine resulted in subsequent new East European records and new identifications of earlier collections
It has been demonstrated that true A. verlotiorum was reliably known at that time in the eastern part of Europe only in Crimea (Mosyakin, 1990), but later it was reported from the Caucasus (Dubovik, Mosyakin, 1991; Gabrielian, Vallès Xirau, 1996; Kikodze et al, 2010), the adjacent parts of Turkey (Jäger, 1988; Byfield, Baytop, 1998; Uludag et al, 2017, etc.), and Turkmenistan (Nikitin, Geldikhanov, 1988; reported as a "common weed": Kurbanov, Vlasenko, 2006)
Summary
Artemisia umbrosa [initially described as A. vulgaris var. umbrosa, see comments on its authorship below] is an East Asian species that was reported within its native range from the Russian Far East (south) and Siberia (southeast), China (mostly northern regions), and Mongolia (Pampanini, 1930, 1933; Polyakov, 1961; Leonova, 1982; Korobkov, 1992; Krasnoborov, 1997; Filatova, 2003; Zuev, 2005, 2012; Ling et al, 2011; Urgamal et al, 2014, etc.). Mayorov et al (1993) provided data on a new locality of A. argyi near Kozelsk, revised the collections of Volosnova from Maloyaroslavets (both in Kaluga Region), and identified the plants as belonging to A. umbrosa They commented that the latter species was earlier erroneously reported from the region by Volosnova (1986) as A. verlotiorum and that new records and revisions of older identifications of taxa from the affinity of A. vulgaris should be expected after the publication by Mosyakin (1990) [in Russian: "Ранее ошибочно указана для области под названием А. Artemisia from Eastern Europe is in progress and will be published separately
