This paper presents new data on the occurrence of 16 vascular plant species from five Eurasian countries obtained during field explorations, as well as during taxonomic revisions of herbarium ...materials. Five taxa (Draba fladnizensis, Gentiana orbicularis, Helianthus giganteus, Symphyotrichum cordifolium, Thalictrum alpinum) are recorded for the first time from Poland, five (Achnatherum jacquemontii, Arrhenatherum elatius, Dittrichia graveolens, Geranium pyrenaicum, Stipa × balkanabatica) from Tajikistan, three (Achnatherum sibiricum, Asyneuma thomsonii, Stipa × balkanabatica) from Kyrgyzstan, one (Orobanche bartlingii) from Turkey, one (Calamagrostis obtusata) from China and one (Calamagrostis emodensis) from the Gansu Province in China. In addition, Hieracium piliferum, considered extinct in Poland, was rediscovered. For each species, synonyms, taxonomy with remarks on recognition and differentiation of the species from the most similar taxa occurring in a given area, general distribution, habitat preferences, as well as a list of recorded localities (often far from the previously known areas) are presented. As a result of the morphological comparison of specimens representing Stipa × balkanabatica collected in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan with the type specimen collected from Turkmenistan, we decided to describe a new variety named S. × balkanabatica var. alaiensis M. Nobis & Klichowska, var. nov. Additionally, based on the analysis of phytosociological relevés prepared during field studies in the western Pamir Alai Mts (in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan), a new association of chasmophytic plants named Asperulo oppositifoliae–Achnatheretum jacquemontii M. Nobis, Klichowska & A. Nowak, is also described.
The extensive diversity of the tribe Orobancheae, the most species-rich lineage of holoparasitic Orobanchaceae, is concentrated in the Caucasus and Mediterranean regions of the Old World. This extant ...diversity has inspired hypotheses that these regions are also centres of origin of its key lineages, however the ability to test hypotheses has been limited by a lack of sampling and phylogenetic information about the species, especially in the Caucasus region. First, we assessed the phylogenetic relationships of several poorly known, problematic, or newly described species and host-races of four genera of Orobancheae occurring in the Caucasus region-
,
,
and
-using nuclear ribosomal (ITS) and plastid (
) sequence data. Then we applied a probablistic dispersal-extinction-cladogenesis model of historical biogeography across a more inclusive clade of holoparasites, to explicitly test hypotheses of Orobancheae diversification and historical biogeography shifts. In sum, we sampled 548 sequences (including 196 newly generated) from 13 genera, 140 species, and 175 taxa across 44 countries. We find that the Western Asia (particularly the Caucasus) and the Mediterranean are the centre of origin for large clades of holoparasitic Orobancheae within the last 6 million years. In the Caucasus, the centres of diversity are composed both of long-branch taxa and shallow, recently diversified clades, while Orobancheae diversity in the Mediterranean appears to represent mainly recent diversification.
Después de estudiar el material original de Orobanche centaurina Bertol. (Orobanchaceae) depositado en BOLO, una olvidada especie descrita de Massa (Italia central) parásita de Centaurea paniculata ...L., y compararlo con el tipo de O. kochii F.W. Schultz y con los tipos de otros táxones actualmente considerados inónimos de éste, estimamos que el nombre de Bertoloni es el correcto y prioritario para esta especie
After the studying the original material of Orobanche centaurina Bertol. (Orobanchaceae) deposited in BOLO, a forgotten species described from Massa (Central Italy) parasitizing Centaurea paniculata L., and compared it with the type of O. kochii F.W. Schultz and with the types of others taxa actually considered synonyms of this, we concluded that the name of Bertoloni is the correct one for this species
Orobanche ingens
is an endemic species from the Caucasus, especially the Greater Caucasus, parasitising on large Apiaceae (usually
Heracleum
). This species was misclassified over the years and ...little was known about its range and habitats. Here, we clarify the typification, as well as provide notes about the taxonomy of this species. Additionally, we presented distribution, habit and host range of
O. ingens
and morphological features that distinguish it from similar species.
The genus
Phelypaea
includes three holoparasite species with one of the most intense red flowers among all plants worldwide. So far, there are few references to other colour taxa of this genus. We ...describe a new yellow-coloured form, Phelypaea boissieri f. lutea, from Hakkari province in the Cilo Mountains of SE Turkey, found at an altitude of 2,470 m. In typical
P. boissieri
, here typified by us, the flowers are deeply red, and stems, calyx and scales are red to brown, or rarely pale-brown, whereas in the entire population of f. lutea the corolla, calyx, and scales are yellow to orange with black folds in the corolla, while only the stem is brownish.
Holoparasitic genera within the family Orobanchaceae are characterized by greatly reduced vegetative organs; therefore, molecular analysis has proved to be a useful tool in solving taxonomic problems ...in this family. For this purpose, we studied all species of the genera Orobanche and Phelipanche occurring in Central Europe, specifically in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Austria, supplemented by samples mainly from Spain, France, Germany, and Ukraine. They were investigated using nuclear sequences (ITS region) and a plastid trnLtrnF region. The aim of this study was to examine phylogenetic relationships within Orobanche and Phelipanche from Central Europe; we focused on problematic species and aggregates, recent taxonomic changes in these (rank and secondary ranks), and host ranges. The most interesting results concern the exlusion of O. mayeri from O. alsatica aggr. Additionally, following the rules of traditional taxonomy, the correct names and types of some secondary ranks are given and, as a result of this, a new combination below the Phelipanche genus is made (P. sect. Trionychon). The host ranges of the investigated species in Central Europe include 102 species from 12 families, most often from Asteraceae. For this purpose, ca. 400 localities were examined in the field. Moreover, data acquired from the literature and European and Asian herbaria were used.
In this paper a neglected taxon of Orobanche s. str. is shown to
deserve specific rank for combining a set of correlated morphological features and a
particular host (Carlina). As it had already been ...validly named at varietal and subvarietal
rank by J. A. Guimarães it needn’t be validly described, but is here typified,
raised to the rank of species, thoroughly described, illustrated with detailed drawings
and colour photographs and demonstrated to occur well beyond its terra classica not
only in Portugal and Spain, but probably also in southern France, Corsica and Sicily. In
addition, some morphological, chorological and iconographical additions to the
knowledge of the recently described Orobanche subbaetica will be done.
En este trabajo se dan pruebas de la pertinencia del rango específico para un taxon desatendido de Orobanche s. str. en el que coinciden todo un conjunto de caracteres morfológicos y un hospedante propio (Carlina). Puesto que J. A. Guimarães ya le había dado nombre válido en los rangos varietal y subvarietal, no es preciso describirlo como nuevo, y aquí tan solo se lo tipifica, se lo eleva al rango de especie, se lo describe en detalle, se lo ilustra con dibujos y fotografías en color y se muestra que su área de distribución rebasa la terra classica y se extiende, no solo por España y Portugal, sino muy probablemente por el sur de Francia, Córcega y Sicilia. Además, se hacen algunas adiciones
morfológicas, corológicas e iconográficas al conocimiento de la recién descrita Orobanche
subbaetica.
Phelipanche zangezuri Piwow., Ó. Sánchez & Moreno Mor. sp. nova (Orobanchaceae) is described from the Lesser Caucasus in Armenia. The species grows on a rocky slope near roadside in the Zangezur ...mountain range, 2300 m a.s.l., and parasitises Tragopogon pterocarpus. We present detailed description and illustrations, and also a comparison with the morphologically closest P. pulchella, P. hajastanica and P. caesia.
Tras un detenido estudio de su protólogo y lectótipo,
se concluye que Orobanche foetida Poir. (1789) es un sinónimo prioritario de Orobanche
variegata Wallr. (1825) y no puede usarse para la especie ...del Mediterráneo
occidental a la que en los últimos tiempos venía por lo general aplicándosele. Mientras
la conservación en ese uso del binomen Orobanche foetida no sea propuesta y
aprobada, esa especie ibérica y norteafricana debe llamarse Orobanche hookeriana
Ball.
After carefully reviewing its protologue and lectotype, it is concluded
that Orobanche foetida Poir. (1789) is an earlier synonym of Orobanche
variegata Wallr. (1825) and cannot be used for the western Mediterranean species to
which in recent times it has been generally applied. Unless the conservation of that
concept of the binomen Orobanche foetida is proposed and approved, that Iberian
and North African plant must be called Orobanche hookeriana Ball.
