Abstract

Hieracium nigrescens subsp. brachytrichellum Zahn, known to date only from the Southern Carpathians, was discovered in the Vranica Mountains in Bosnia. This is the first station of H. nigrescens s.l., an arctic-alpine species of H. sect. Alpina (Griseb.) Gremli, on the Balkan Peninsula. A map of general distribution of H. nigrescens s.l. and illustration of the specimens collected in Bosnia are given. The likely origin of the Balkan population is briefly discussed.
