Microhabitat Conditions and Inter-Species Competition Predict the Successful Restoration of Declining Relict Species Populations.

The local populations of relict plant taxa living near the limits of their geographical range are particularly vulnerable to extinction. For example, is one of the rarest and most endangered glacial relicts in Western and Central Europe. In Poland, the number of its sites has dramatically decreased over the past few decades, prompting us to take conservation measures focused on saving endangered populations.

Differentiation and Propagation Potential of L. Achenes as a Consequence of the Morphological Diversity of Flowers and the Position of Flower Heads on the Plant.

L. is a very important medicinal plant and simultaneously a European endemic endangered plant species. The morphological features and details of seed development and achene variability are poorly recognized.
