Sažetak
Genus Campanula is traditionally considered to be very complicated from a taxonomic point of view, due to its phenotypic plasticity, ontogenetic variation and polyploidy. Flora of the Western Balkans comprises up to 100 Campanula taxa, out of which more than 30% endemic. Mutual relations of these taxa puzzle taxonomists for centuries: today, using comparative morphological, chorological and ecological data, in combination with the results of extensive cytological, isoenzyme and molecular (chloroplast and nuclear DNA) approaches, we are closer than ever to finally understand the obscure relationships among the Balkan-Campanula taxa lineages, and to other campanuloids, their ways of surviving the Ice Ages and possible paths of recolonisation, followed by fast evolution of taxa. Several indigenous endemic lineages (Isophylla, Waldsteiniana, Pyramidalis, Rotundifolia) are discussed closely, to demonstrate promising comparative approaches in solving mutual relations inside this perplex genus.
