Genome Size Variation in Wulfen sensu lato (Caryophyllaceae).

Genome size (GS) is an important characteristic that may be helpful in delimitation of taxa, and multiple studies have shown correlations between intraspecific GS variation and morphological or environmental factors, as well as its geographical segregation. We estimated a relative GS (RGS) of 707 individuals from 162 populations of with a geographic focus on the Balkan Peninsula, but also including several populations from the European Alps. is morphologically variable species thriving in various habitats and six subspecies have been recognized from the Balkan Peninsula.

Typification of 14 names in the group (Caryophyllaceae).

The nomenclature of 14 taxa from Central and Southern Europe within the group is discussed. Jord., Jord.
