THE GENUS THALICTRUM L. IN DONBASS (BASED ON MATERIALS STORED IN THE HERBARIUM OF THE DONETSK BOTANICAL GARDEN)

Based on critical-taxonomic, chorological and ecotopological studies, we found that the genus Thalictrum L. in the flora of Donbass includes five native species – Thalictrum flavum L., T. foetidum L., T. flexuosum Bernh. ex Reichenb., T. simplex L. and T. minus, represented by four varieties: var. typica, var. ledebourianum (C. A. Mey. ex Rupr.) N. Busch., var. majus Jacq., var. puberulum Schur. Our studies resulted in finding a new variety of T. flexuosum Bernh. ex Reichenb. var. pubescens Ostapko et Gnatyuk, which is more common than the typical one. Full legends of DNZ herbarium collection labels and taxa distribution maps are given.
