TAXONOMIC REVIEW OF GENERA AEONIUM AND AICHRYSON (CRASSULACEAE) IN EURASIA
Abstract
The article provides the first taxonomic review of two small genera Aeonium Webb et Berth. and Ayhrison Webb and Bert. (Crassulaceae H. St.-Hil.) in Eurasia. In Eurasia, these genera are at the limit of distribution and therefore there is no large species diversity. Information is given on 9 species of the genera Aeonium (6 species and 1 hybrid) and Aichryson (2 species), currently identified in Eurasia. In distribution, they are confined mainly to the Mediterranean and only one species is very rare in Front Asia on the Arabian Peninsula in Yemen. The article proposes lectotypes for three synonymous names in the genera Aichryson — Sempervivum dichotomum DC. and Aeonium — S. molle Vis. и S. caespitosum C. Sm. former Otto. The paper gives the keys to identify the species of Aeonium and Aichryson found in Eurasia, a brief synonymy for genera and species, morphological description for species, distribution in Eurasia and the general distribution of species. The article is illustrated by one photo.
