<em>A. lasiocarpum</em> has provoked a long-standing debate over its systematic and geographic status. Present taxonomic and chorological studies offer a proposal for the solution of these problems. In their result, a taxon described by Zapałowicz (1908) was rediscovered, now treated as <em>A. lasiocarpum</em> subsp. <em>kotulae</em> comb. nov. It occurs far beyond hitherto admitted borders of <em>A. lasiocarpum</em> subsp. <em>lasiocarpum</em>, reaching the Sanok-Jasło Basin, the Tatra Mts. and Babia Góra Mt. in the Western Carpathians, and Podolye on Ukraine. A hybrid between<em> A. lasiocarpum</em> and <em>A. variegatum</em> subsp. <em>variegatum</em> was also described for the first time. The nothospecies, <em>A</em>. x <em>pawlowskii</em> nothosp. nov., occurs in scattered localities in the Western Carpathians: in Poland (Beskid Niski, Tatras, Gorce Mts. and Babia Góra Mt.) and in Slovakia (Slovenské Rudohorie, Nizke Tatry Mts. and Muranska Planina Plateau), within the range of <em>A. variegatum</em> subsp. <em>variegatum</em>. The new (notho) taxa enable more precise shaping the geographical borders of both <em>A. lasiocarpum</em> subsp. <em>lasiocarpum</em> and <em>A. variegatum</em> subsp. <em>variegatum</em> in the Carpathians.
