A specimen from Valorado’s herbarium (LISU) is chosen here as neotype for the name of the species now placed in the monotypic genus Odontitella. The same specimen is selected as neotype for Euphrasia tenuifolia Pers., basionym of Odontites tenuifolia (Pers.) G. Don, the correct name for these plants in Odontites.

Two of these names were published following some classical taxonomic treatments, e.g., in 1806: E. virgata by Link (1806: 138) in January (Stafleu Flora Europaea (Webb & Camarasa, 1972: 267), under & Cowan, 1985: 319) and E. tenuifolia by Persoon (1806: Odontites s.l., given that E. tenuifolia is the basionym of 150) in November (Stafleu & Cowan, 1983: 183).

Also, the paper provides information about the hayfields floral richness, a great scientific value for Romania and Europe. The study of the flora was carried out in several stages: 2005-2008, 2013, 2017-2018. In the studied area, 397 taxa were identified, distributed in 82 families with therapeutic potential, represented by 164 medical taxa, 37 of them being in the European Pharmacopoeia 8.5. The study reveals that most plants contain: volatile oils (13.41%), tannins (12.19%), flavonoids (9.75%), mucilages (8.53%) etc. This plants can be used in the treatment of various human disorders: disorders of the digestive system, respiratory system, skin disorders, muscular and skeletal systems, genitourinary system, in gynaecological disorders, cardiovascular, and central nervous sistem disorders. In the study plants protected by law at European and national level were identified: Echium maculatum, Cephalaria radiata, Crambe tataria, Narcissus poeticus ssp. radiiflorus, Salvia nutans, Iris aphylla, Orchis morio, Orchis tridentata, Adonis vernalis, Dictamnus albus, Hammarbya paludosa etc. Keywords: Fărăgău, medicinal plants, human disease, Mureş County 1.

(Orobanchaceae) in Iran Shahryar Saeidi Mehrvarz, Sayad Roohi, Iraj Mehrgan & Elham Roudi Summary: Comparative morphological, anatomical and palynological studies on six species Euphrasia L. (Orobanchaceae) in Iran are presented using plants collected from their type localities and many other populations. Euphrasia petiolaris and E. sevanensis are reported for the flora of Iran for the first time. In terms of anatomy, the phloem/xylem proportion in vascular bundles of stem and root, presence or absence of collenchyma at the periphery of stem cortex, the number of parenchyma cell layers of stem cortex and the thickness of the vascular bundle in the leaf midrib provide valuable characters in distinguishing species. According to the obtained results, the pollen morphology seems also to be taxonomically valuable. The main shapes observed among investigated taxa were spheroidal, oblate- spheroidal and prolate-spheroidal. The pollen grains were tricolpate and microrugulate, micropilate and microgemmate on exine surface. The relationships between taxa were estimated by analyzing the scored morphological, anatomical and palynological data using the Euclidian distance coefficient and UPGMA clustering method. Keys are provided for identification of the species of Euphrasia in Iran based on both morphological and anatomical features. Keywords: anatomy, palynology, Euphrasia, Orobanchaceae, taxonomy, flora of Iran The genus Euphrasia comprises about 450 perennial and annual green hemiparasitic species (Mabberley 2008). The distribution area ranges from Europe to Asia, the northern parts of America, South America, the mountains of Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand (Barker 1982).

In Sweden, the oligolectic solitary bee Melitta tricinta Kirby, 1802 has been reported from a few southern provinces and red listed as endangered (EN). In order to explore the conser- vation status, we studied the reputed and potential material of the species as well as carried out field studies in the area of known modern occurrence, viz. the military training field and Natura 2000-area Revingehed in the southernmost province Skåne. Our results showed that there is no valid Swedish record before 1930, suggesting a fairly recent colonization. There is no evidence that a regional decline during later decades includes Skåne. In Rev- ingehed 2008, the bee was still present on previously detected localities but also occurred on numerous other, hitherto unknown localities that contained the exclusive food plant, the red bartsia, Odontites vulgaris (Scrophulariaceae). Nesting sites, on the other hand, seemed not a limiting factor. There was evidence of a metapopulation-like situation, in which bees have a capacity to disperse and occupy even relatively isolated, small and tem- porary ruderal-type habitats. In total, 25 subpopulations were recorded and the population size estimated to ca.

Particular emphasis was given to phytochemistry and ethnopharmacology, since several classes of natural compounds have been reported within this genus and many of its species are well known to be employed in the traditional medicines of many Asian countries. Some important conclusions on the chemotaxonomic and chemosystematic aspects of the genus have also been provided for the first time. Actually, this work represents the first total comprehensive review on this genus. Keywords: Pedicularis L. genus; Orobanchaceae family; phytochemistry; chemotaxonomy; ethnopharmacology 1. Systematics Pedicularis L. is a genus of hemiparasitic plants, originally included in the Scrophulariaceae family but now belonging to the Orobanchaceae family [1]. The rest of the systematic classification is the following: order Scrophulariales, subclass Asteridae, class Magnoliopsida, division Magnoliophyta, superdivision Spermatophyta, subkingdom Tracheobionta. The genus comprises 568 accepted species, 335 synonymous species, and 450 unresolved species [2].

The NWRS is a network of lands and waters managed specifically for the protection of wildlife and their habitat, and represents the most comprehensive wildlife management program in the world. Units of the system stretch across the United States from northern Alaska to the Florida Keys and include small islands in the Caribbean and South Pacific. The character of the Refuges is as diverse as the nation itself. Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge (MNWR) was established in 1937 as a refuge and breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife. It is the first in a chain of migratory bird refuges that extends from Maine to Florida. The Refuge consists of two units. The Baring Unit covers 16,080 acres and is located off U.S.
