Duchesnea chrysantha (Rosaceae) – a new species for the flora of Caucasus
UDC 582.734.4:581.95(479.22+479.224)
Abstract
Duchesnea chrysantha is reported for the first time for the flora of the Caucasus. The alien species was discovered in Abkhazia during our own field work and was also registered in Georgia in the form of photographic materials posted on the “Plantarium” website. The morphological characteristics of the new find and the closely related D. indica are compared. The ecological features and common ranges of both species are discussed. Microscopic images of the shape and surface of their nuts are presented. In addition, we confirm the previously published information that D. chrysantha was mistakenly reported for the flora of Russia.
