“…Centaurea L. (Compositae: Cardueae: Centaureinae), is a large genus of some 500 species, perhaps better known as the knapweeds , relatively few of which have been illustrated in Curtis's Botanical Magazine from its earliest days (e.g. Curtis, 1788, 1790; Sims, 1810, 1825; Hooker, 1878; Hind & Hall, 2003; Hind & Walters, 2006; Hind, 2019a; etc.). Many more species are certainly of horticultural merit.…”

Summary Centaurea cineraria L. (Compositae: Cardueae: Centaureinae), part of the Centaurea cineraria group, is described and illustrated, and notes provided on its cultivation, propagation, pests and diseases and availability. Within current concepts the full synonymy of C. cineraria and C. gymnocapra are provided along with type citations and the known distribution of type material. The infrageneric divisions of Centaurea are commented on briefly. The varying treatments of the Centaurea cineraria complex of species is discussed, some clearly recognizing a distinct Centaurea gymnocarpa, others combining the latter in synonymy. Kew's material may well be of hybrid origin, but is described here as the species with additional commentary, as it is unlikely to be C. gymnocarpa, a very local endemic of the Isola di Capraia in the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, now with a Conservation Status assessment of Vulnerable. As one of the many plants that is often called dusty miller, the use of common names is commented on, especially since a diverse range of genera have been given the same name. Criticism is also levelled at some web sites that are clearly providing images not illustrating anything from this species group in Centaurea, with illustrations of plants with yellow corollas referred to Centaurea cineraria – as well as other erroneous information.

“…Centaurea iberica was found only once in Lithuania, in the vicinity of Riešė (Vilnius district), in an abandoned gravel quarry, on a pile of grain waste (Apalia, 1969;Gudžinskas, 1997) Leuzea repens, widely known as Acroptilon repens, is native to south-eastern Europe, western and Central Asia and West Himalayas. The species is naturalised in many parts of Europe, North America and Australia, and in some places, it is considered invasive (Greuter, 2006;Hind, 2019). Leuzea repens was found once in Lithuania, in Vilnius, on the slope of a railway embankment (Gudžinskas, 1997).…”

“…Taxonomists made many attempts until the end of the 20th century to subdivide the broad genus Centaurea L. into smaller genera, but the attempts were controversial (Susanna et al, 1995;Garcia-Jacas et al, 2001). Therefore, the genus Centaurea and allied genera have been the subject of intense studies over the last few decades (Wagenitz & Hellwig, 2000;Su-Gudžinskas || Review of the subtribe Centaureinae in Lithuania sanna et al, 2006;Garcia-Jacas et al, 2006;Font et al, 2009;Ferrer-Gallego & Altinordu, 2016;Arnelas et al, 2018;Hind, 2019). As a result, the broadly circumscribed polyphyletic genus Centaurea is divided into several putatively monophyletic genera (Wagenitz & Hellwig, 2000;Greuter 2003Greuter , 2006CWG, 2021;POWO, 2022).…”

The study’s objective was to overview all Centaureinae species recorded in Lithuania, evaluate the distribution and population state of the newly discovered four alien species and provide information on the residence status, distribution and habitats occupied by all species of the subtribe. The subtribe Centaureinae in Lithuania is now represented by five genera: Centaurea, Leuzea, Psephellus, Serratula and Zoegea. The largest genus in the flora of the country is Centaurea, which includes four native and six alien species. The genus Serratula is represented by one native species, while the genera Leuzea, Psephellus and Zoegea each have one alien species. Tree alien species (an archaeophyte, Centaurea cyanus, and neophytes Centaurea montana and Psephellus dealbatus) are naturalised aliens, whereas Centaurea cheiranthifolia, Centaurea diffusa, Centaurea iberica, Centaurea macrocephala, Leuzea repens and Zoegea crinita are casual aliens. Five species of the subtribe Centaureinae (Centaurea jacea, Centaurea phrygia, Centaurea scabiosa, Centaurea stoebe and Serratula tinctoria) are native to Lithuania. Maps of the distribution of newly discovered alien species in Lithuania are presented.

Centaurea africana L. (Compositae: Cardueae: Centaureinae)is illustrated and described. The species has a long history of cultivation that probably exceeds 350 years, although it is apparently rarely available from commercial sources as seed or plant material. Other than the tribal name to use when placing this species, its more recent recognition as a species of Rhaponticoides Vaill. is not accepted; the issue of Vaillant names is once again raised. The capitula of C. africana are considered heterogamous and disciform, not radiant, with the few marginal florets possessing equal length, certainly non-showy, corolla lobes, and usually containing staminodes. A number of synonyms, appearing in a couple of well-known databases, are excluded; one belongs to a purple-flowered species endemic to northern Morocco, the other to a yellow-flowered, pinnatisect-leaved plant of northern Spain. A potentially exciting use of one flavonoid extracted from flowering parts of the plant, algerianin, in combatting human myeloid leukaemia, is highlighted.
