New records and noteworthy data of plants, algae and fungi in SE Europe and adjacent regions, 2

Abstract

This paper presents new records and noteworthy data on the following taxa in SE Europe and adjacent regions: the diatom alga Eunotia boreoalpina; the saprotrophic fungus Clitocybe truncicola; the liverwort Haplomitrium hookeri; the moss Leptodon smithii: the monocots Epipactis purpurata, Stipa tirsa, Typha laxmannii and T. shuttleworthii; and the dicots Krascheninnikovia ceratoides, Polygonum albanicum and Sorbus latifolia.

Comparative analysis of the antioxidant capacity and secondary metabolites accumulation in the fruits of rowan (Sorbus aucuparia L.) and some closely related species

“…According to Datsko (2004), the composition of the genus Sorbus L. sensu stricto includes from 50 to 84 species, while Sołtys et al (2020) indicate 88 species. According to a number of researchers, the description of new taxa on the European continent is due to the exceptional genetic and morphological diversity within the genus, which is the result of repeated polyploidization, homoand heteroploid hybridization, backcrossing and apomixis (Welk et al, 2016;Tomović et al, 2020). For example, hybrids between Sorbus torminalis (L.) Crantz and Sorbus aria are widespread in central and western Europe, as well as in the eastern part of Crimea.…”

New records and noteworthy data of plants, algae and fungi in SE Europe and adjacent regions, 3

“…More recent findings include records from western and central Serbia: Mt. Tara, Mt Golija and Mt Radan (Tomović et al 2020), as well as eastern Serbia -Mt. Stara Planina (Jenačković et al 2020).…”

“…Epipactis purpurata is distributed in Europe from Great Britain and Denmark in the north to Italy and Greece in the south and from Spain in the west to Romania in the east. In Serbia it was previously recorded only in the western region (Djordjević et al 2010(Djordjević et al , 2017Tomović et al 2020) growing exclusively in beech forests (Djordjević et al 2016) with an estimated regional conservation status of Vulnerable (VU; Djordjević et al 2017). It is included in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES 2020).…”

Typha laxmannii (Typhaceae) in Ukraine: current distribution, еcological and coenotic pecularities, invasiveness

“…In the second half of the XX century, the species was indicated: in former Czechoslovakia (Fiala, Jankovská, 1968;Čvančara, Šourkova, 1973;Dubyna et al, 1993, Pyšek et al, 2012, France (Guinochet, de Vilmorin, 1978), Italy (Pignatti, 1982), Great Britain (Sell P.D. & Murrell, 1996), Belgium (Seebens et al, 2017), the Netherlands (Van der Meijden, 2005), Slovakia (SoC, 1980), Germany (Oberdorfer, 1990), Poland (Zajac et al, 1998;Baryla et al, 2005), Hungary (Balogh et al, 2005), Austria (Melzer, Barta, 1993), Slovenia (Kaligaric, Jogan, 1996), Croatia (Topić, Ozimec, 2001;Šegota et al, 2013), Serbia (Tomović et al, 2020), Albania (Demiri, 1983). In 2000, the species was found in Belarus (Dubovik, 2013); additionally, the author noted that the species is actively spreading toward the North and has already reached the 60ºof the North latitude.…”
