Conservation status

In Ukraine - LC ( Onyshchenko et al. 2022).

Distribution

SE Carpathian endemic.

Notes

A problematic taxon with unclear chorology and phylogeny. Ambiguous interpretation of S. bielzii has been pointed out in the Flora of Romania ( Gergely and Beldie 1972), where two subspecies of S. coerulans Friv. are represented - subsp. coerulans and subsp. bielzii (Schur) Gergely & Beldie. For both subspecies, S. bielzii has been indicated as a synonym with the only difference being in its consideration by Shur - S. bielzii Schur, Verh. Mitth. Siebenbürg. Vereins Naturwiss. Hermannstadt 1: 109 (1850) has been indicated as a synonym for S. coerulans subsp. bielzii , while S. bielzii Schur, Enum. Pl. Transsilv.: 743 (1866) has been indicated as a synonym for S. coerulans subsp. coerulans Later, Chorney (2011) noted that S. bielzii , being, in fact, a Carpatho-Balcanic species, is erroneously considered endemic and referenced to Deyl (1980). Tzvelev (1976) and Chopyk and Fedoronchuk (2015) also considered S. bielzii a synonym of the non-endemic S. coerulans . On the other hand, Comănescu and Štefănuţ (2010) showed that these two species have similar distribution ranges; nevertheless, they treated these two species independently. Similarly, Lazarević et al. (2015), Kuzmanović et al. (2015) and Kuzmanović et al. (2017) conducted phylogenetic studies with S. bielzii considered an independent species within the Coerulans group.
