Taxonomic review of the genus Linum (Linaceae) from the caucasus flora

摘要

The genus Linum L. in Caucasian flora is represented by 17 species combined into 7 sections. Two species - L. austriacum and L. nervosum are subdivided into subspecies; 3 species - L. mucronatum, L. hirsutum and L.seljukorum are represented by non-type subspecies. 3 species - L. flavum, L.perenne and L.squamulosum Rudolphi ex Willd. Are excluded from Caucasian flora. One subspecies - L.austriacum subsp. glaucescens (Boiss) P.H.Davis is recorded for the first time for Caucasus. Two new combinations are made, L.nervosum subsp.jailicola (Juz.) Egor. and L.seliukorum subsp. barsegjanii (Gabrieljan et Dittr.) Egor.
