“…Similarly, only one locality with a single individual has been reported from Montenegro (Stešević & Berg, 2015) and from neighbouring Croatia, where only one Botrychium matricariifolium locality has been confirmed with a population size not exceeding 50 individuals (Borovečki-Voska et al, 2011). Another species, i.e.…”

“…The southernmost localities of the species are located in Corsica and the Dinaric Mountains. It reaches the Urals in the east and France in the west (Hultén et al, 1986;Lengyel, 2009;Borovečki-Voska et al, 2011;Stešević & Berg, 2015). In Poland, the main area of occurrence of the fern is the northern and south-western part of the country.…”

Botrychium matricariifolium is a critically endangered species in Poland. In 2020, a new locality of this rare fern was found in the Góra Chełm forest reserve (Strzyżowskie Foothills). The population comprised 58 individuals. The fern was found in the Carpathian beech fertile complex Dentario glandulosae-Fagetum at a forest margin located near an unused quarry. The community comprised 29 vascular plant species. The dense layer of trees (90%) was composed of Acer pseudoplatanus, Abies alba, and Fagus sylvatica. The greatest coverage in the undergrowth was achieved by Dentaria glandulosa, Dentaria bulbifera, Galeobdolon luteum, and Mercurialis perennis. The mean height of the ferns was 14.9 cm. The trophophores had 3 branches each and were 1.1-3.4 cm long (mean: 2.1 cm). They had 5 to 9 pinnae. The length of the sporophore ranged from 2.3 to 8.3 cm (mean: 5.1 cm). It had from 12 to 183 sporangia (mean: 62). In 2021, the locality was re-verified, and 30 sporulating individuals were recorded. No factors threatening the species were noted. The population is in good condition and does not require any special active protection measures.

“…It is widespread in central Europe and southern Scandinavia, eastwards reaching European Russia, while it is rare in the north of the British Isles, Corsica, Croatia and Montenegro. In North America it occurs in the north-eastern USA and adjacent south-eastern Canada, and as scattered extending westwards to central California (Hultén & Fries 1986, Stešević & Berg 2015. Botrychium matricariifolium inhabits nutrient-poor short grasslands, forest and road edges, and occasionally also ravine forest or Fraxinus excelsior stands.…”

This the fourth part of the series on the distributions of vascular plants in the Czech Republic includes grid maps of 84 taxa of the genera Aldrovanda, Alisma, Asclepias, Azolla, Blechnum, Botrychium, Butomus, Carex, Centaurea, Drosera, Dysphania, Hypochaeris, Illecebrum, Luronium, Ophioglossum, Persicaria, Pilularia, Rubrivena, Sagittaria, Salvinia, Scirpoides, Sideritis, Streptopus, Teesdalia and Thesium. These maps were produced by taxonomic experts based on herbarium specimens, literature and field records. Of the native taxa studied, 40 are on the national Red List. Among them, Carex pseudobrizoides, Hypochaeris glabra and Illecebrum verticillatum are rare species of mainly sandy habitats, which are all now restricted to a few or several sites and are therefore classified as critically threatened. Endangered aquatics and wetland plants are represented by Alisma gramineum, Salvinia natans, three Drosera species, Luronium natans and Pilularia globulifera, of which the latter two are species with sub-Atlantic distributions, reaching in this country their south-eastern and eastern distribution limits, respectively. All eight species of the genus Thesium and most species of Botrychium are endangered, either because they are rare or they are now considerably less common than they were, or combination of both. Two of the species mapped in this paper are now extirpated from this country. Botrychium simplex was last recorded more than 120 years ago, whereas the spontaneous occurrences of Aldrovanda vesiculosa vanished after 1952. However, the latter species has recently been deliberately planted in the wild for conservation purposes. The taxonomically extremely difficult Centaurea sect. Jacea, whose taxonomy and evolution is complicated by polyploidization and frequent hybridization, includes many taxa whose distributions were unclear until recently. Maps

“…According to the available literature, the ferns of Montenegro comprise 40 species from 16 genera, of which 12 belong to the genus Asplenium (Rohlena, 1942;Pulević, 2005;Stešević and Berg, 2015). We used two distinct datasets to conduct our study: Dataset 1 consisted of presence-only distribution records (483 unique localities in total) of 10 species of Asplenium (Table 1 and Table S1) obtained by georeferencing specimen information held by seven herbaria (Table S2); Dataset 2 consisted of 131 presence/true absence records of seven species (Fig.…”
