  abstract  = {The presence of Taraxacum microspecies of the section Borealia in the European Alps has been known from France, Suisse, Austria, Italy and Slowenia. The five known species are Taraxacum gallicum, T. handelii, T. kraettlii, T. mazzettii and T. melzerianum. From 2004 up to 2014 these localities have been visited. Detailed examinations of many collections make it possible to add characteristics and precise the descriptions and correct mistakes, eliminate ambiguities and fill gaps in the original descriptions. Numerous photos, drawings and a new determination key will make the access to the section Borealia easier. A new species of section Borealia, T. cimae-gallinae, from the mountain H{\"u}hnerspiel near Sterzing (Italy, South Tyrol) is described. The habitats of the Borealia in the alpine level are mostly gravel floors on wind-swept ridges or on summit levelings. The environment of Borealia-species is threatened by ski tourism or by the changes from global warming.},

  abstract  = {Prunus spinosa L. (Rosaceae) is one of the most widespread members of the genus Prunus in middle europe. Its morphological plasticity resulted in a number of described taxa at subspecific level. Since the early neolithic times, drupes of the plum family are recorded and exhibit already a remarkable diversity in size and form. Here we present a short historical account to the use of P. spinosa and an overview of the different taxonomic treatments. We examined distribution patterns in general and in particular in the central valley of the river Saale (Thuringia) with respect to ecological, edaphic and climatic factors. We assessed within 16 populations the variability of 22 metric and 10 qualitative morphological characters at 7 different locations. Population sites included forest-, way- and fieldsides, as well as lightish pine forests. Pollen fertility did not increase during the flowering period, all flowers were directly fully fertile from the beginning. In contrast, glucose content varied significantly depending of the status of fertilization. Epicuticular wax structure was without variation amongst the populations. P. spinosa leaves are covered with a smooth layer of slightly striated wax. Morphological characters were scored on 270 branches and 506 fruits. Most of the characters showed enormous variability among and within populations such as metrics of leaves, thorns and character states of flower morphology. The lowest variability among populations and therefore not dependend of modificatory factors was found in fruit characters. Since kernel morphology seems to be genetically rather than modificatory controlled, we applied the 3 taxonomical concepts of Werneck, K{\"u}hn and Scholz u. Scholz to identify evolutionary units at subspecific levels. However, population variability was still so high, that from our study here we can not support an infraspecific classification of Prunus spinosa L.},
