Notes

Following POWO (https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/191259-1, accessed on 05.06.2023), Centaurea phrygia L. includes 14 subspecies. From this number, only three subspecies (i.e. subsp. Centaurea phrygia phrygia , subsp. Centaurea phrygia carpatica and subsp. Centaurea phrygia melanocalathia ( Borbás ex Czakó) Dostál) occur in the Ukrainian Carpathians ( Chopyk and Fedoronchuk 2015). Even though the last subspecies has a limited distribution and is considered as a Pancarpathian endemic ( Tasenkevich 2003), Carpathian subendemic ( Kricsfalusy and Budnikov 2002) or Carpatho-Balcanic taxon ( Dostál 1989, Malynovskiy et al. 2002), it has a hybridogenous origin ( Koutecký et al. 2012, Kliment et al. 2016) and, therefore, is not considered here. Hence, the only endemic representative in the Ukrainian Carpathians from the C. phrygia complex is C. phrygia subsp. carpatica .

The Euro+Med PlantBase ( Greuter 2006), amongst the homotypic synonyms of C. phrygia subsp. carpatica , provides C. plumosa var. carpatica Porcius that is supposed to be published on p. 34 of "Enumeratio plantarum phanerogamicarum districtus quondam naszódiensis” ( Porcius 1878). Similarly, this combination is also mentioned by Prodan and Nyárády (1964) on page 890 and Czerepanov (1994) on page 276. However, in this publication, there is no such combination published. Instead, Porcius (1878) on page 34, published a new combination C. plumosa β Crocus polycephala Porcius and only indicated C. carpatica as its synonym. I was also unable to detect where C. plumosa var. carpatica had been published by Porcius. Most probably, the combination C. plumosa var. carpatica Porcius arose mistakenly due to misinterpretation of this name by other authors and has never been published by Porcius.
