This subspecies is restricted to the slopes of the Main valley between W{\"u}rzburg and Hasloch with a hot spot (>90\% of total population) between the villages Th{\"u}ngersheim and Retzbach. Due to some similarities with H. glaucinum subsp. prasiophaeum (synonym: subsp. gougetianum) the subspecies is named H. maculatum subsp. pseudogougetianum. This subspecies grows preferentially on shell-bearing limestone gravels and begins flowering as early as mid-April. Head involucra are whitish hairy mixed with dark stalked glands. The basal leaf rosette consists of ovate to elliptic, toothed to serrate, dark spotted leaves, glabrous, glaucous above. Stems bear 1-3(4) stalked stem leaves and usually form long lateral flowering branches from the leaf axils. Like some other H. maculatum subspecies, H. maculatum subsp. pseudogougetianum is tetraploid with a mean genome weight (2C value) of 14.5 pg, distinguishing it from the H. glaucinum group, whose studied taxa are invariably triploid (mean 10.1 pg).}, subject = {Korbbl{\"u}tler}, language = {de} } @article{DrenckhahnGottschlichZonneveld2023, author = {Drenckhahn, Detlev and Gottschlich, G{\"u}nter and Zonneveld, Ben}, title = {Neubeschreibungen und 2C-Werte von Pilosella macranthela subsp. silvae-pici (Spessart-Mausohrhabichtskraut) und Pilosella ottonis (Otto-Mausohrhabichtskraut) mit einer {\"U}bersicht {\"u}ber das Vorkommen von P. macranthela-Taxa in Bayern.}, series = {Forum Geobotanicum}, volume = {11}, journal = {Forum Geobotanicum}, issn = {1867-9315}, doi = {10.3264/FG.2023.1114}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-344797}, pages = {21-34}, year = {2023}, abstract = {A pentaploid taxon from the Pilosella macranthela group was discovered in Lower Franconia/Bavaria which is newly described here as P. macranthela subsp. sylvae-pici. It grows mainly in the Bavarian Bunter Spessart and occurs with three small, isolated stands also in the limestone area of the Main valley and Tauber area. Its habit of growth is intermediate between the furcata and laxicephala types of Pilosellae with epigeal and partly hypogeal stolons and a tendency to form clusters. The upper and lower surfaces of the rosette leaves have stellate hairs. The peduncles and the phyllaries are densely covered with dark glandular hairs with yellowish glandular heads. The lateral teeth of the ligules often are separated by incisions. A tetra- und pentaploid transitional taxon between P. macranthela subsp. sylvae-pici and P. officinarum is described as P. ottonis. P. ottonis is tetra- and pentaploid with up to 7 capitula. It is densely covered with dark stalk glands on phyllaries and resembles forms of P. acutifolia in habit. The phyllaries of P. ottonis are covered with numerous epidermal papillae with a diameter of about 10-20 μm and in this aspect resemble P. macranthela subsp. sylvae-pici and P. glomerata. However, in P. officinarum epidermal papillae are absent. Plants of genetically heterogeneous tetra- and heptaploid P. macranthela have been found outside the Spessart as spontaneous hybrids between P. glomerata and P. officinarum and also occur sporadically without P. glomerata in the vicinity.}, subject = {Habichtskraut}, language = {de} } @article{Haveman2023, author = {Haveman, Rense}, title = {Phytosociological notes on hedges in South Ayrshire, Scotland}, series = {Forum Geobotanicum}, volume = {11}, journal = {Forum Geobotanicum}, issn = {1867-9315}, doi = {10.3264/FG.2023.0420}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-312634}, pages = {1-7}, year = {2023}, abstract = {On the basis of four relev{\´e}es of hedges around Straiton en Dailly in South Ayrshire, Scotland, some features of hedges are discussed. On the basis of the brambles, the vegetation of these hedges can be assigned to the Pruno-Rubion sprengelii, which comprises the bramble scrubs of circumneutral and nutrient rich soils in West Europe (Haveman et al. 2017, Haveman \& de Ronde 2019). Until now, this alliance was thought to be restricted to the northwestern edge of the European continent, but based on these relev{\´e}es and the known distribution area of Rubus nemoralis and Rubus polyanthemus, both characteristic for the Pruno-Rubion sprengelii, large parts of North England and Scotland have to be included in the distribution area of the alliance. The Pruno-Rubion sprengelii is optimally developed in rather narrow structures, like hedges, which are pruned every year. Here, brambles and herbs alike can grow with and under the shrubs, facilitated by the light that reaches large parts of the ground. Where the economic base of hedges perishes, they are not longer maintained, and the shrubs can grow out to their natural proportions. This changes the amount of light reaching the surface in the inner parts of the thicket, changing the competition between the species. The brambles as well as the herbs are displaced to the outer edges of the scrub, and the vegetation "dissociates" in a high-growing scrub, a fore-mantle ("cuff") with brambles, and a fringe with perennial herbs. These elements can hardly ever be assigned to the Pruno-Rubion anymore. The Pruno-Rubion sprengelii in optima forma is a scrub in which the three elements (shrubs, brambles, and herbs) grow closely intertwined. This is rarely found in natural landscapes, and thus the alliance is a typical element of the old farmer landscape. What is more: the typical species of the alliance, like Rubus nemoralis and R. polyanthemus, could only evolve after the landscape was opened by farmers in the last six millennia (Matzke-Hajek 1997), giving way to Rubus ulmifolius to expand its distribution area. This caused an explosion of hybrids which stabilised through apomixis into the wealth of Rubus species inhibiting the West European landscape nowadays (Sochor et al. 2015). Many of these species have their original home in a man-made landscape. Therefore, the Pruno-Rubion sprengelii can be characterised as a "farmers alliance" pur sang.}, subject = {Brombeere}, language = {en} } @article{Gottschlich2023, author = {Gottschlich, G{\"u}nter}, title = {Hieracium rotundatum subsp. silvae-bavaricae, eine neue Hieracium-Sippe aus dem Bayerischen Wald (Deutschland)}, series = {Forum Geobotanicum}, volume = {11}, journal = {Forum Geobotanicum}, issn = {1867-9315}, doi = {10.3264/FG.2023.0912}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-327145}, pages = {8-14}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Hieracium rotundatum subsp. silvae-bavaricae is described as new for science and illustrated.
