New records and deletions of Cruciferae for Russia and some neighbouring countries

Abstract

Based on the study of collections of LE, RV and RWBG, information on occurrence (or absence) of certain Cruciferae (Brassicaceae) species in Russia and some neighbouring states is updated. Camelina hispida is first recorded from Russia, Camelina sativa from Turkmenistan and Goldbachia torulosa from Ukraine as alien species apparently not naturalized in relevant countries. In contrast, Isatis armena, a novelty for the flora of both Russia and Europe, along with Plagioloba persica for the first time recorded from Kyrgyzstan, appears to be aboriginal elements in the newly revealed localities. At the same time, occurrence of Isatis cardiocarpa in Europe, as well as an introduction ofGoldbachia laevigata in Ukraine does not get support. In addition, the combination Plagioloba perfoliata is validated.
