The Classification System of the Family Apiaceae in the Flora of Mongolia

Abstract

At present time is family Apiaceae consists of 74 species and 37 genera, 5 subtribes belong to 12 tribes (4 clades) and 2 sub-families (Saniculoideae and Apioideae) disjunctly distributed in the Mongolian flora. We updated classification system of the family Apiaceae in the flora of Mongolia.

Updated Checklist of Vascular Plants Endemic to Mongolia

“…Publications used to revise the checklist included the Checklist of Endemic Vascular Plants [11][12][13][14], Conspectus of the Vascular Plants of Mongolia [2,13,18,19], Flora of Khangay [20], Legumes of Mongolia [21], four volumes of the Flora of Mongolia [22][23][24][25], and five volumes of Plants of Central Asia-plant collections from China and Mongolia [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. Recent (2014-2020) publications related to the discovery, description, and/or first records of taxa in Mongolia were also considered and included Nobis [30], German [19], Bekket et al [31], Kechaykin and Kutsev [32], Kechaykin [33,34], Gundegmaa and Kechaykin [35], Yurtseva et al [36], Erst et al [37], Ovchinnikova and Korolyuk [38], Zhao et al [39], Pyak and Pyak [40], Ovchinnikova [4,41], and Pyak et al [42].…”

Distribution of vascular plants in Mongolia – II part

“…In Mongolia, A. alpestre is quite widely distributed across several phytogeographical regions (Urgamal et al, 2014). Aegopodium alpestre grows under cover of coniferous forest in mountains, and in alpine meadows (Urgamal, 2009). We newly found it from the Middle Khalkh region based on herbarium collection (https://fl oragreif.uni-greifswald.de/ taxon/?fl ora_search=Record&record_id=19248).…”

“…Furthermore, we also found the rare species Sajanella monstrosa (Willd.) Soják (Apiaceae) from the Khuvsgul region in 2020, for which only a single location was reported in the Khentei region (Urgamal, 2009). In general, many important medicinal plants occur in Mongolia , but for most species their current distribution maps are lacking.…”

Flora of Mongolia: annotated checklist of native vascular plants

“…More recently, Urgamal et al (2014) updated the families of vascular flora according to APG III, with a total of 3,127 taxa that belong to 683 genera and 112 families. Since 2009, nine volumes with selected families have been published by Mongolian botanists, including Cyperaceae ( Nyambayar 2009a ), Apiaceae to Cornaceae ( Urgamal 2009 ), Huperziaceae to Ephedraceae ( Ulziikhutag et al 2015 ), Asteraceae ( Dariimaa 2014 , 2021 ; Dariimaa and Saruul 2017 ), Ceratophyllaceae to Zygophyllaceae ( Urgamal et al 2020 ), Amaranthaceae s.l. (incl.…”
