Identification key for the species of the genus Artemisia L. (Asteraceae) of the flora of Ukraine

Untitled

“…This record was confirmed later, first based on observations by Dubovik (see Mosyakin, 1990;Dubovik, Mosyakin, 1991) and then by Mosyakin (2006), who indicated the continued presence of A. verlotiorum in Nikita (Yalta area) in and near the Nikita Botanical Garden. Our analysis (by Boiko) of herbarium specimens of the Nikita Botanical Garden -National Science Center (YALT) demonstrated that the species was often collected in this area for many years, but it was misidentified as A. vulgaris (see Boiko, 2009). Special surveys (by Mosyakin and Boiko, before 2014) also demonstrated that A. verlotiorum is now widespread in the Crimean South Coast.…”

“…In our earlier articles (Mosyakin, 1990(Mosyakin, , 1991(Mosyakin, , 1992(Mosyakin, , 2006Dubovik, Mosyakin, 1991;Boiko, 2009Boiko, , 2012Boiko, , 2013Mosyakin et al, 2017Mosyakin et al, , 2018 we already discussed various issues of distribution, morphology, taxonomy and nomenclature of Artemisia verlotiorum, A. umbrosa (Turcz.…”

The correct authorship and nomenclature of Artemisia umbrosa ( Asteraceae), with comments on some misapplied names and distribution of the species in Eastern Europe

“…Artemisia umbrosa was also reported (under several names) from Belarus (Vynaev, Tretyakov, 1978, as "A. verlotiorum";Tretyakov, 1999, as A. umbrosa), Lithuania (Gudžinskas, 1990, as "A. verlotiorum";Gudžinskas, 1997, as "A. codonocephala"), Latvia (Fatare, Gavrilova, 1985;Tabaka et al, 1988, as "A. verlotiorum"; Evarts-Bunders et al, 2012, and references therein), and several regions of Ukraine, in particular, Kyiv (Mosyakin, 1990(Mosyakin, , 1991Mosyakin, Fedoronchuk, 1999, as A. umbrosa;Mosyakin, 1992Mosyakin, , 2006, as "A. codonocephala"), Kherson (Moysienko, 2000, as A. umbrosa), Crimea (Yena, 2005(Yena, , 2012, as "A. codonocephala"; Seregin et al, 2015, as "A. dubia"), Donetsk (Boiko, 2009;Ostapko et al, 2010, as "A. lavandulifolia"; Boiko, 2012, as A. umbrosa), Lviv (Kuzyarin, 2012;Mamchur et al, 2017, as A. umbrosa), etc. In Romania A. umbrosa was reported as "A. lavandulifolia" (Sîrbu, Oprea, 2011).…”

“…Consequently, the true identity of de Candolle's "A. lavandulifolia" is nomenclaturally irrelevant. The name A. lavandulifolia was misapplied to European plants of A. umbrosa in several publications (Boiko, 2009;Ostapko et al, 2010), the latest one probably being Sîrbu and Oprea (2011).…”

“…umbrosa, see comments on its authorship below] is an East Asian species that was reported within its native range from the Russian Far East (south) and Siberia (southeast), China (mostly northern regions), and Mongolia (Pampanini, 1930(Pampanini, , 1933Polyakov, 1961;Leonova, 1982;Korobkov, 1992;Krasnoborov, 1997;Filatova, 2003;Zuev, 2005Zuev, , 2012Ling et al, 2011;Urgamal et al, 2014, etc.). It is also known as an alien species forming colonies in several regions of Europe (Mosyakin, 1990(Mosyakin, , 1991(Mosyakin, , 2006Leonova, 1994;Gudžinskas, 1990Gudžinskas, , 1997Tretyakov, 1999;Yena, 2005;Boiko, 2009Boiko, , 2012Boiko, , 2013Sîrbu, Oprea, 2011;Mayorov, 2014;Morozova, 2014, etc., see below), but data on its synanthropic distribution are in need of critical reassessment and verification because of its confusion with other similar species, and also because of nomenclatural problems (see further details below).…”
