Notes

A rare species mentioned (as M. pauciflora ) only for three regions of the Ukrainian Carpathians - Chornohora, Maramures and Svydovets ( Chorney and Fedoronchuk 2009, MEPNR of Ukraine 2021).

In general, Sabulina verna (L.) Rchb. (= Minuartia verna (L.) Hiern) has a wide distribution and branched infraspecific subdivision with variable acceptance by different authors. In particular, M. verna auct. fl. carpat., together with M. zarecznyi ( Zapał.) Klokov, is considered a synonym of M. pauciflora ( Mirek et al. 2020). Moreover, M. pauciflora is often wrongly reported from the Carpathians as M. gerardii (Willd.) Hayek, which is a species from the Alps ( Chorney 2011, Kliment et al. 2016, Nunvářová Kabátová et al. 2019). Inconsistency in the taxonomic interpretation and unclear chorology of M. gerardii led to its consideration, including Carpathian plants, as a synonym of M. verna s. str. (i.e. M. verna subsp. verna or Sabulina verna subsp. verna ) ( Fedoronchuk and Mosyakin 2016). However, recent investigations showed that M. pauciflora is clearly distinguished from M. verna s. str. Nunvářová Kabátová et al. (2019) also confirmed the belonging of Carpathian plants identified as M. gerardii to M. pauciflora .

CoL (https://www.catalogueoflife.org/data/taxon/43KDB, accessed on 07.06.2023), GBIF (https://www.gbif.org/species/3811893, accessed on 05.06.2023), POWO (https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/60435605-2, accessed on 07.06.2023) and Worldplants (https://www.worldplants.de/world-plants-complete-list/complete-plant-list?name=Minuartia-pauciflora, accessed on 07.06.2023) still provide M. pauciflora as an independent species from the genus Minuartia , while M. verna was reconsidered as belonging to the genus Sabulina Rchb. as S. verna ( Fedoronchuk and Mosyakin 2016). To keep the nomenclatural consistency within S. verna group, the new combination Sabulina pauciflora (Kit.) A. Novikov, comb. nov. is proposed here.

Only two taxa from the Sabulina verna group are present in the Ukrainian Carpathians ( Chopyk and Fedoronchuk 2015) viz. S. pauciflora , comb. nov. (≡ M. pauciflora ) and S. oxypetala ( Woł.) Mosyakin & Fedor. (≡ M. oxypetala ( Woł.) Kulczyński). Both species were previously interpreted as belonging to Alsine L. and were recently reconsidered within the genus Sabulina Rchb. ( Mosyakin and Fedoronchuk 2015, Fedoronchuk and Mosyakin 2016, Nunvářová Kabátová et al. 2019).
