Materials for a flora of Serbia from the herbarium collection PZZP (1)

Abstract

The Herbarium collection of the Institute for Nature Conservation of the Vojvodina province (PZZP) is one of the least known institutional collections in Serbia. In this article is presented the first part of results of the ongoing process of examination and revision of this collection. It covers data on interesting, new and noteworthy vascular plant taxa from 6 genera (Cytisus L., Lamium L., Lappula Moench, Lathyrus L., Leersia Sw. and Legousia Durande) included in 18 species, 5 subspecies, 3 varieties, 4 forms, as well as 4 taxa with undetermined status [stat. indet.] and one supposed nothospecies. One species and subspecies (Lappula heteracantha subsp. heterocarpa) and 5 taxa on the different infraspecific levels are new for a flora of Serbia.

“…Material and methods are the same as in our previous contributions (Perić et al 2018;Perić & Knežević 2019): selection of vascular plant taxa (including nothotaxa) is based on the following criteria: 1) new (unpublished) taxa for a flora of Serbia, 2) otherwise known taxa documented so far with only a few published records for Serbia, 3) taxa with unclear or questionable distribution in Serbia due to recent substantial changes in their taxonomical concept, 4) revised or supplemented published data and 5) taxa protected by law in Serbia.…”

“…In this, third installment of data resulting from our continuing work on the identification, revision and publishing of selected new and noteworthy taxa from the Herbarium collection of the Institute for Nature Conservation of the Vojvodina province (PZZP) (Perić et al 2018;Perić & Knežević 2019) are included data for genera Filago L., Ludwigia L., Luzula DC., Lycopus L., Lythrum L., Phlomis L. and Silene L.…”
