The composition of essential oils of Leutea glaucopruinosa (Rech.f.) Akhani & Salimian comb. nov., and Zeravschania (Boiss. & Hausskn.) Salimian & Akhani comb. nov. were analysed by GC-MS. 49 compounds are identified in the former and 33 compounds in the latter, comprising a total of 76 compounds in both species. Both species were originally described under Peucedanum, which are transferred in ...

We studied the anatomy of a rare narrow endemic species belonging to the Slovenian fl ora – Hladnikia pastinacifolia Rchb. Hladnikia is a monotypic genus with distinct taxonomic position within the Apiaceae family. The anatomical characteristics revealed by light and fl uorescence microscopy provided new insights regarding the pollen, leaf and root characteristics of H. pastinacifolia, improvin...

The monotypic Hladnikia pastinacifolia Rchb. is a narrow endemic species, with an extremely small distribution area in Slovenia, prone to any kind of threat that could lead to species extinction. Tissue culture techniques are proposed as a conservation measure for rapid propagation and ex-situ conservation. Tissue culture was initiated from seeds and juvenile plants obtained from natural sites ...

Hladnikia pastinacifolia, the most prominent endemic plant species in Slovenia, is rare and protected because it a stenoendemic paleoendemic restricted to area of Trnovski gozd (W Slovenia). However, this can be found various habitats. The disparity between non-specific habitat preference its rarity has not been sufficiently explained. Here we focus on functional morphological features that are...
