A review of the subtribe Centaureinae (Asteraceae, Cardueae) in Lithuania with information on new alien species
Abstract The study’s objective was to overview all Centaureinae species recorded in Lithuania, evaluate the distribution and population state of the newly discovered four alien species and provide information on the residence status, distribution and habitats occupied by all species of the subtribe. The subtribe Centaureinae in Lithuania is now represented by five genera:
Centaurea,
Leuzea,
Psephellus,
Serratula and
Zoegea. The largest genus in the flora of the country is
Centaurea, which includes four native and six alien species. The genus
Serratula is represented by one native species, while the genera
Leuzea,
Psephellus and
Zoegea each have one alien species. Tree alien species (an archaeophyte,
Centaurea cyanus, and neophytes
Centaurea montana and
Psephellus dealbatus) are naturalised aliens, whereas
Centaurea cheiranthifolia,
Centaurea diffusa,
Centaurea iberica,
Centaurea macrocephala,
Leuzea repens and
Zoegea crinita are casual aliens. Five species of the subtribe Centaureinae (
Centaurea jacea,
Centaurea phrygia,
Centaurea scabiosa,
Centaurea stoebe and
Serratula tinctoria) are native to Lithuania. Maps of the distribution of newly discovered alien species in Lithuania are presented.
