The systematic
position and modern state of populations of the
rare species of Ukrainian flora Carlina cirsioides
Klokov (Asteraceae) are considered. Since this species
is included into the Red Data Book of Ukraine (2009)
and the European List of Globally Threatened Animals
and Plants (1991), it is well-known for European
botanists as an endemic of the Ukrainian flora.
However, neither the authors of Flora Europaea (1976),
nor monographers of the genus Carlina recognize
Carlina cirsioides as a separate species. Comparative
morphological, chorological, and coenotic analyzes
does not allow Carlina cirsioides to be considered
as a separate species, endemic and relic of the
Ukrainian flora. According to morphological features,
specimens from the plains of Ukraine are referred
to the subspecies Carlina acaulis caulescens, which
is distributed mainly in plain regions of Europe.
Ecological and coenotic conditions of habitats of
Carlina acaulis in the lowland part of Ukraine are
different from its habitats in the Carpathians and
Alps and are close to xerotherme grass communities
with Carlina acaulis of plains of Central Europe.
Steppe communities of Festuco-Brometea class with
Carlina acaulis in the Volhynian-Podolian Upland
are similar to xerotherme communities with Carlina
acaulis of Central Europe. Erico-Pinetea class communities
are common habitats for Carlina acaulis in the Ukrainian
Polissia and north-eastern Poland. Lowering the
species status of Carlina cirsioides from separate
species to subspecies Carlina acaulis caulescens
does not diminish its phytosozological value. Due
to the low number of Carlina acaulis populations
in the Volhynian-Podolian Upland and Polissia, all
localities of this species in the lowland part of
Ukraine need to be provided by protection. |
