TAXONOMY AND VARIABILITY OF SOME PLANT SPECIES IN THE ROMANIAN FLORA

Abstract

the author has analyzed the variability at 3 (three) plant species, namely: Silene supina Bieb., Alkanna tinctoria Tausch, Himantoglossum hircinum (L.) Spreng. After this analyze, there are two new subspecies, depicted here for the first time: Silene supina Bieb. subsp. longicarpa Ciocârlan subsp. nova şi Alkanna tinctoria Tausch subsp. petrosa Ciocârlan subsp. nova. As concerning Himantoglossum, there is a mention that in the flora of Romania is growing H. hircinum subsp. caprinum (Bieb.) Sunderm., and not H. hircinum subsp. hircinum. In this paper, is showed that a synonymyzation of the species S. supina Bieb. with S. spergulifolia (Willd.) Bieb. is an error ! The same is the situation of the synonymy between Himantoglossum hircinum (L.) Spreng. şi H. caprinum (Bieb.) Sundern.
