| Description | A taxonomic account of Achillea setacea Waldst. et Kit. from the Central European perspective is given. The names A. setacea, A. setacea subsp. dolopica Freyn et Sint., Achillea setacea var. brevifolia Rochel, and A. fililoba Freyn are typified, the last one being excluded from the synonymy of A. setacea. The variation of the species observed did not need to be expressed by taxonomic means. The distribution maps of A. setacea in the Czech Republic presented are based on examination of more than 775 herbarium specimens from almost all public Czech herbaria. Phytosociological affinity and interspecific relations of the species were studied using more than 200 relevés extracted from the Czech national vegetation database. Ecological requirements of A. setacea and regional distribution pattern are discussed on the background of its distribution in neighbouring countries and from the more general phytogeographic point of view. |
