[S. glaucus L. subsp. coronopifolius (Maire) C. Alexander, S. leucanthemifolius Poir. subsp. vernalis (Waldst. & Kit.) Greuter, S. tauricus Konechn., S. vulgaris L.] and four species of Jacobaea Mill. [J. borysthenica (DC.) B. Nord. & Greuter; J. erucifolia (L.) G. Gaertn., B. Mey. & Scherb. (incl. subsp. arenaria (Soó) B. Nord. & Greuter and subsp. erucifolia), J. vulgaris Gaertn., and J. maritima (L.) Pelser & Meijden subsp. maritima] currently reported for and taxonomically recognized in the Crimean Peninsula (Yena, 2012). However, one of these taxa, Senecio tauricus Konechn. (Konechnaya, 1985: 230), in fact belongs to the species aggregate of Jacobaea vulgaris Gaertn. (= Senecio jacobaea L.), which embraces also several other species, such as J. ambracea (Turcz. ex DC.) B. Nord., J. andrzejowskyi (Tzvelev) B. Nord. & Greuter, J. borysthenica (DC.) B. Nord. & Greuter, and J. ferganensis (Schischk.) B. Nord. & Greuter. The Crimean taxon currently known as S. tauricus appears to be nomenclaturally "neglected", even after the recent restoration of Jacobaea, now recognized as a genus phylogenetically distinct from Senecio (Pelser et al., 2002, 2007, 2010; Nordenstam, 2006; Nordenstam et al., 2009). There are several possible reasons for this "negligence": (1) the phytogeographical status of the taxon as a little-known local endemic of Crimea; (2) the lack of its specimens in major herbaria, especially those collected by local botanists, and (3), the lack of relevant sources on the Crimean plants published in languages other than Russian and Ukrainian (see e.g. Cordova, 2015). Here we provide information currently available on this taxon and propose its formal transfer to Jacobaea. Phylogenetic distinctiveness of Jacobaea Recent molecular phylogenetic studies of Senecio and related taxa (Pelser et al., 2002, 2007, 2010, etc.; see also an overviews in Nordestam et al., 2009 and Kadereit et al., 2016) justified the segregation of several genera, including Jacobaea, housing taxa earlier placed in Senecio sensu lato.

Jacobaea taurica (Asteraceae), the new combination for a Crimean protected species. Ukr. Bot. J., 2017, 74(4): 303–309. Abstract. Senecio tauricus (Asteraceae) was described as an endemic species restricted to the mountain plateaus (yailas) of the Crimean Peninsula, growing only in meadow-steppe plant communities. The species status for this taxon was accepted in all relevant floras, identification manuals, and checklists; it is also listed in the current edition of the Red Data Book of Ukraine (2009) and some other lists of protected plant species. Following the results of recent molecular phylogenetic studies that justified the segregation of several genera housing taxa earlier placed in Senecio sensu lato, the new nomenclatural combination Jacobaea taurica is proposed. Basic information on morphology, ecology and distribution of J. taurica and related taxa is also briefly discussed and summarized. Keywords: Senecio, Jacobaea, Asteraceae, nomenclature, taxonomy, Crimea, endemic species 304 Ukr. Bot. J., 2017, 74(4) number of ray florets and of inner involucral bracts ("13, not 21", as given in the protologue). Following its description in 1985, S. tauricus was accepted as a distinct species in all relevant floras, identification manuals, and checklists covering plants of Ukraine and Eastern Europe in general (Katina, 1987; Konechnaya, 1994; Mosyakin, Fedoronchuk, 1999; Yena, 2012). In his analysis of endemism of the Crimean flora, Yena (2001, 2008, 2012) also accepted this species and recognized it as a local endemic of the Crimean Peninsula. Ecology of Senecio tauricus Senecio tauricus seems to be geographically and ecologically restricted to meadow and meadow-steppe plant communities of the treeless plateaus (yailas) of the Crimean Mountains (see distribution maps and associated information in Yena, 2009; Rudenko, 2015), while Jacobaea vulgaris (= Senecio jacobaea) occurs in a much wider range of open habitats throughout the Crimean Peninsula, including steppe, flatland and foothill meadows, and ruderal plant communities. Judging from available herbarium specimens and field observations, J. vulgaris occurs on yailas very rarely, more likely accidentally due to human activities (transport, tourism etc.). It should be also noted that yaila areas are the most endemic-rich habitats of Crimea, with more than 50% of the currently recognized ca. 106 Crimean endemic vascular plant species occurring here (Yena, 2008). The high diversity of endemic plants in these habitats is partly explained by the diverse altitudes and complexity of landscapes therein, as well as by the complex patterns of geological and biogeographic history of the Crimean region (for further details see Yena, 2008, 2012; Cordova, 2015 and references therein). According to the new classification proposed for habitats of the Crimean Mountains (Didukh et al., 2016), the actual and expected habitats of S. tauricus belong to the following categories and subcategories: E1.25 Crimean meadows (E1.251 Meadows on deforested areas, and E1.252 Meadow biotopes on yaila karst funnels) and E2.15 Mountain meadow steppe biotopes (E2.1512 Biotopes of mountain sod meadow- steppes on well developed chernozems of highland yailas). According to the EUNIS Habitat Classification (European Environment Agency, 2014–onward; Didukh et al., 2016; Onyshchenko, 2016), such habitats mainly belong to the category E2.251: Ponto-Pannonic mesophile hay meadows. combinations or names in the currently recognized genera either were available earlier or have been validated recently. In particular, new combinations for taxa transferred to Jacobaea and other segregates of Senecio have been proposed by Pelser et al. (2006), and then Nordenstam (2006) and Nordenstam and Greuter (in Greuter, Raab-Straube, 2006, 2007) in the course of preparation of the treatment of Asteraceae for the Euro+Med PlantBase Project (Greuter, 2006–onward; Greuter, Raab-Straube, 2008). Totally more than 90 new combinations in Jacobaea were published for species and infraspecific taxa since 2006 (IPNI, 2017– onward). However, no transfer of Senecio tauricus (at any rank) to Jacobaea has been proposed yet, and the species is still recognized in Senecio in the Euro+Med PlantBase (Greuter, 2006–onward) and The Plant List (2013–onward), as well as in recent basic reference publications covering the flora of Crimea (Yena, 2009, 2012; Rudenko, 2016, etc.). Taxonomic history of Senecio tauricus In Flora Taurica (Privalova, 1969), there was only a note under Senecio jacobaea with some considerations regarding peculiarities of the plants from the Crimean treeless mountain plateaus locally called yailas (yaila in singular; derived from the Crimean Tatar [Qırımtatar] language, meaning summer pasture or summer rangeland; also jaila or yayla in some other Turkic languages): "Plants from the yaila are often of stocky habit, with large heads and long ray florets that are twice as long as the involucre" (Privalova, 1969: 228; in Russian: "Яйлинские растения часто имеют более приземистый рост, крупные корзинки и длинные язычковые цветы, вдвое превышающие длину обертки"). Konechnaya (1985) later described those plants as Senecio tauricus, an endemic species restricted to the Crimean Mountains. According to the protologue, this species differs from S. jacobaea (now Jacobaea vulgaris) in having lower height, lesser number of heads (capitulae) within the terminal corymb, and noticeably larger heads, longer ray florets and involucral bracts. It was also compared in the protologue with S. ambraceus Turcz. ex DC. (Candolle, 1838: 348; now Jacobaea ambracea (Turcz. ex DC.) B. Nord.: Nordenstam, 2006: 13) known to occur mainly in southeastern Siberia, the Russian Far East (south), Mongolia, northern China, and Korea (Chen et al., 2011; Zuyev, 2012), from which the Crimean species was reported to differ in a lesser 305Укр. бот. журн., 2017, 74(4) been not yet treated as an infraspecific taxon of any other species. Judging from the information available from the cited and some other references and from selected herbarium specimens (consulted mainly in CSAU and KW), we were unable to establish possible identity of the Crimean plants with any currently recognized infraspecific taxon of J. vulgaris or related species occurring in the neighboring regions (mainland Ukraine, SW European Russia, Central Europe, the Caucasus, the Balkans, etc.). In terms of their gross morphology and especially habit, the stout but rather low-growing Crimean yaila plants are evidently different from typical forms of the tetraploid subspecies (Jacobaea vulgaris subsp. vulgaris) and also from octoploid subspecies [J. vulgaris subsp. gotlandica (Neuman) B. Nord. and J. vulgaris subsp. pannonica Hodálová & Mered'a]. The identity of J. vulgaris diploids remains taxonomically unresolved (Mereďa et al., 2016b). Crimean plants from yailas also differ from predominantly psammophytic taxa Jacobaea borysthenica (DC.) B. Nord. & Greuter (= Senecio borysthenicus (DC.) Andrz. ex Czern., S. praealtus Bertol. var. borysthenicus DC.) and J. andrzejowskyi (Tzvelev) B. Nord. & Greuter (S. andrzejowskyi Tzvelev) occurring mainly along large rivers of Eastern Europe (Tzvelev, 1986; Konechnaya, 1994; Greuter, Raab- Straube, 2006). Thus, at present we prefer to maintain S. tauricus as a separate species of Jacobaea, pending further research. Additional comparative morphological, karyological, and molecular phylogenetic studies are needed for identifying the precise phylogenetic position, origin, and the best-suitable taxonomic rank of the Crimean montane plants related to J. vulgaris and accepted in recent literature as S. tauricus. We hope that this nomenclatural note will attract attention of researchers to this still poorly known taxon and will stimulate its much-needed further detailed studies in comparison with other taxa of the J. vulgaris aggregate. Conservation status of Senecio tauricus Senecio tauricus is listed in the 3rd (current) edition of the Red Data Book of Ukraine (Yena, 2009) with the conservation status "Rare"; it is also included in some other regional "red lists" (List…, 2013; Rudenko, 2015; the first list is part of the Ukrainian legislation; the second list has no legal status in Ukraine). The reported main threat factors for that species are its narrow Morphology of the species, with considerations of its relationships Judging from morphological characters of plants from the Crimean Mountains, they are indeed closely related to Jacobaea vulgaris, differing from the latter mainly in some quantitative characters, particularly those mentioned in the protologue (see above). As a result of examining numerous specimens of this and related species available in KW and CSAU (herbarium acronyms following Thiers, 2017–onward), we can additionally note that S. tauricus also differs from J. vulgaris in having rosettes more persistent at maturity, glabrous (almost totally hairless) leaves, wider ray florets, and especially well-developed black widely triangular marks on the tips of inner involucral bracts (in Crimean plants of J. vulgaris sensu stricto these black marks are narrowly triangular, hatched, or nearly absent). Several good field photographs of S. tauricus (including close-ups) are available from the Plantarium web site (http://www.plantarium.ru/page/view/item/ 35275.html). Two of these images (photographs by Ilya Turbanov) represent plants identified by Galina Yu. Konechnaya, the author of the species (http://www. plantarium.ru/page/image/id/25994.html;http://www. plantarium.ru/page/image/id/25995.html). It was convincingly demonstrated recently that J. vulgaris is a morphologically and karyologically diverse and variable species (or species aggregate) represented by several cytotypes (ranging from diploids to octoploids, with occasional presence of some aneuploids) and weakly delimited morphotypes, now often treated as subspecies and/or varieties (Wysk et al., 2009; Hodálová et al., 2010, 2015; Conti et al., 2012; Mereďa et al., 2016a, b). Some ecological preferences of these entities were also reported, but their geographical ranges remain insufficiently known (Mereďa et al., 2016a, b). These studies already indicated that octoploids and hexaploids tend to have (among other characters) somewhat longer ray florets, involucral bracts and tubular florets, as compared to the tetraploid cytotype of J. vulgaris (Hodálová et al., 2015; Mereďa et al., 2016b). Rather long ray florets and involucral bracts are also peculiar to the Crimean montane plants, which may suggest their higher ploidy level(s). However, no ploidy information is available yet for these Crimean plants. No synonyms or infraspecific entities have been reported or validated so far for S. tauricus.

No special populational studies of the species have been performed so far; thus, data on its populations are scarce. Validation of the new nomenclatural combination Considering the evident position of S. tauricus within the genus Jacobaea (in or near the J. vulgaris species aggregate), its morphological distinctiveness and partial geographical isolation, as well as the conservational importance and protected status of this taxon, a new combination is needed, which is validated below.

Терещенковская, 2, Киев 01004, Украина 2Комитет по картированию флоры Европы и Украинское ботаническое общество Senecio tauricus (Asteraceae) был описан как эндемиче- ский вид, распространенный на горных плато (яйлах) Крымского полуострова, который встречается только в лугово-степных растительных сообществах. Этот вид был принят во всех основных флорах, определителях и флористических списках, касающихся региона. Он также включен в нынешнее издание Красной книги Украины (2009) и в некоторые другие списки охраняе- мых видов растений. Согласно результатам недавних молекулярно-филогенетических исследований, обосно- вывающих выделение нескольких родов, включающих таксоны, входившие ранее в Senecio sensu lato, пред- лагается новая номенклатурная комбинация Jacobaea taurica. Также кратко обсуждены и обобщены основные сведения о морфологии, экологических особенностях и распространении J. taurica и некоторых родственных таксонов.

Холодного НАН України вул. Терещенківська, 2, Київ 01004, Україна 2Комітет з картування флори Європи та Українське ботанічне товариство Senecio tauricus (Asteraceae) був описаний як ендемічний вид, поширений на гірських плато (яйлах) Кримсько- го півострова, що трапляється лише в лугово-степових рослинних угрупованнях. Цей вид був прийнятий в усіх основних флорах, визначниках та флористичних спис- ках, що стосуються регіону; він також включений до чинного видання Червоної книги України (2009) та дея- ких інших списків охоронюваних видів рослин. Згідно з результатами недавніх молекулярно-філогенетичних до- сліджень, які обґрунтовують виділення декількох родів, які включають таксони, що входили раніше до Senecio sensu lato, пропонується нова номенклатурна комбінація Jacobaea taurica. Також стисло обговорені та узагальне- ні основні відомості про морфологію, екологічні осо- бливості та поширення J. taurica та деяких споріднених таксонів.
