Can Linum ucranicum grow in the subalpine level of the Chornohora ridge (Ukrainian Carpathians)?

Optasyuk O.M.1, Kagalo A.A.2
Abstract

The authors draw attention to the problem of scientific responsibility when reporting new data about species distribution. Fallacy of the locality data (Svetlova, 2006, 2009) for Linum ucranicum (Griseb. ex Planch.) Czern. (Linaceae) in the Ukrainian Carpathians (Chornohora Ridge, Pozhizhevskaya Mt, snowfield trough) is evident. Special studies have revealed that growing of the species in the locality cited on the label is impossible. The counterarguments are as follows: presence on plant roots of some residues of carbonate rocks actually not existing in the assumed collection site; difference in pH values of the soil residues on the plant roots and of the soil collected directly on the specified site on Pozhyzhevska Mt.; detection among the L. ucranicum shoots of some fragments of other plants, Marrubium peregrinum L. and Centaurea stricta Waldst. et Kit., which are absent in the flora of the Carpathians; discrepancies in coenotical and ecological characteristics of this species and the data provided on the label.

Keywords: Linum ucranicum, erroneous indication, Carpathians
