Abstract

Zusammenfassung: In einer vorläufigen Übersicht des Ranunculus auricomus-Komplexes in Kroatien werden 24 Arten vorgestellt. Neu für Kroatien sind Nachweise von R. cassubicifolius W.Koch und R. poldinioides Dunkel. Insgesamt werden 18 Arten als neu für die Wissenschaft beschrieben und abgebildet, darunter die als Diploide besonders bemerkenswerten R. mutilicensis und R. slavonianus, sowie weiter R. albimonasterius, R. baranjanus, R. croaticola, R. divisior, R. dobranus, R. dravus, R. gradiscanus, R. istriacoides, R. marinianaënsis, R. plitvicensis, R. posavinanus, R. rondocroaticus, R. schlosseri, R. slavopontinus, R. turopoljensis, und R. velebiticus.

In this article, 24 species of the Ranunculus auricomus complex of Croatia are presented. New indications for Croatia include R. cassubicifolius W.Koch and R. poldinioides Dunkel. In total 18 species are described as new to science among them the two diploids R. mutilicensis Dunkel and R. slavonianus Dunkel being of special interest and the polyploids R. albimonasterius, R. baranjanus, R. croaticola, R. divisior, R. dobranus, R. dravus, R. gradiscanus, R. istriacoides, R. marinianaënsis, R. plitvicensis, R. posavinanus, R. rondocroaticus, R. schlosseri, R. slavopontinus, R. turopoljensis, and R. velebiticus.
