description

Based on the observation of more than 6300 herbarium specimens and molecular (ITS, AFLPs) evidence, Soldanella is divided into 16 species and four subspecies. Soldanella angusta, S. oreodoxa and S. rugosa are described as new, and the circumscriptions of S. marmarossiensis, S. major, S. pusilla ssp. pusilla and S. hungarica are emended. Nine hybrid names are lectotypified. All non-hybrid taxa are described in detail and distribution maps are provided. Interspecific relationships are discussed on the background of morphological and molecular variation.
