Nomenclatural andtaxonomic notes on the Flora of Serbia and the Balkan Peninsula. I. Caryophyllaceae

The nomenclatural analysis included 12 autochthonous and mostly endemic species from the genera Atocion Adans., Cerastium L., Heliosperma (Rchb.) Rchb., and Silene L. (Caryophyllaceae). In conformity with ICBN, 12 new infra-specific taxa are described with locus classicus on the territory of Serbia. Also presented are 24 new nomenclatural combinations, including several for endemic taxa not present in Serbia. The nomenclature of certain taxa is supplemented by a short taxonomic-chorological review. Results of these studies will be incorporated in the next volume of Flora of Serbia.
