Multivariate analysis of the Senecio nemorensis group (Compositae) in the Carpathians with a new species from the East Carpathians

Six species and subspecies of the S. nemorensis group from the Carpathians are recognized here, based on morphometric analyses (cluster and discrimina nt analyses). A new species S. ucranicus HODALOVA and a new hybrid S. xdomi nii HODALOVA = S germanicus WALLR. x S. ucranicus HODALOVA, occurring in th e East Carpathians and the eastern part of the South Carpathians, are descr ibed. The vicarious nature of S. hercynicus HERBORG subsp. hercynicus, S da cicus HODALOVA et MARHOLD and S. ucranicus HODALOVA in the Carpathians is d ocumented. A key to the S. nemorensis group in the Carpathians as well as t o S. nemorensis L. s. str. is presented.
