Plant species and subspecies discovered by Dr. Josif Pančić 1 – distribution and floristic importance

Abstract

In this paper, we present 17 taxa that Josif Pančić discovered and published during investigations of flora of Serbia, Montenegro and Bulgaria in the period 1846-1888. For each species distribution maps are given based on our own field research, rich herbarium collections (BEOU, BEO, SOM) and literature sources. Classification of plant taxa into floristic elements and basic information about the habitat and ecology of each taxon are also presented. The following 17 species and subspecies are presented: Picea omorika (Pančić) Purk., Parietaria serbica Pančić, Cerastium rectum Friv. subsp. petricola (Pančić) H. Gartner, Heliosperma macranthum Pančić, Heliosperma pusillum (Waldst. & Kit.) Rchb. subsp. monachorum (Vis. & Pančić) Niketić & Stevan., Heliosperma pusillum (Waldst. & Kit.) Rchb. subsp. moehringiifolium (Uechtr. ex Pančić) Niketić & Stevan., Dianthus moesiacus Vis. & Pančić, Consolida uechtritziana (Pančić ex Huth) Soó, Erysimum commatum Pančić, Malcolmia orsiniana (Ten.)
