Hieracium micevskii (Asteraceae), a new species from North Macedonia

Abstract

Hieracium micevskii is described and illustrated as a species new to science from the western part of North Macedonia. Taking into consideration the morphological characteristics, its origin is assumed to be hybrid. The abundance of long rigid simple hairs indicates H. olympicum as one of its possible parental species, while their deeper dentation indicates a representative of Hieracium sect. Pannosa as the second.
