Abstract

In the present paper the results of a biosystematic study of some critical species ofLactuca sect.Lactucopsis are given. After a morphological, chorological, partly cytotaxonomical, chemotaxonomical analysis and experimental crossings the author came to the conclusion that bothL. wilhelmsiana Fisch. etMey ex. DC. andL. chaixii Vill. should be treated as infraspecific taxa ofL. quercina L. No differences were found betweenL. quercina andL. chaixii except in the basic shape of the cauline leaves.L. wilhelmsiana, however, can be distinguished by the length of the beak of the achene and by the distributional area. After revision the correct names of the taxa studied are as follows:Lactuca quercina L.,L. quercina var.integrifolia Bogenh. (Bisch.) forL. chaixii, L. quercina subsp.wilhelmsiana (Fisch. etMey.ex DC.)Feráková forL. wilhelmsiana
