Sažetak
Sesleria Scop. is one of the grass genera playing a major role in the montane grasslands landscape of southern-eastern Europe. Within the genus, Sesleria juncifolia aggr. represents an amphi-Adriatic group of taxa which exhibits a tipically disjunct range including the western Balkans and the Apenninian Peninsula, where neither systematics nor the syntaxonomical scheme od S. juncifolia agg. are entirely clear. Based on recent taxonomical papers, the following species are more or less considered to belong to S. juncifolia agg.: S. apeninna Ujhelyi, S. calabrica (Deyl) Di Pietro, S. kalnikensis Jav., S. juncifolia Suffren, S. interrupta Vis., S. ujhelyi Strgar and S. albanica Ujhelyi. Due to the ecological plasticity of the taxa belonging to S. juncifolia aggregate, a plethora of plant communities, classified into various higher ranked syntaxa occur throughout its distribution range. Probably the most common vegetation type dominated by one of the taxa from the S. juncifolia agg. are the amphi-Adriatic subapline grasslands classified within the order Seslerietalia tenuifoliae (Elyno-Seslerietea). These grasslands host a number of circum-Adriatic (e.g. Edraianthus graminifolius, Carex kitaibeliana, Scabiosa silenifolia, Trinia dalechampii, Anthyllis montana subsp. jacquinii, Gentiana dinarica etc.) as well as circum-boreal taxa (e.g. Silene acaulis, Dryas octopetala, Gentiana verna, Oxytropis campestris aggr., Erigeron epiroticus, Juncus monanthos etc.) both on the Apennines and the Balkans. However, the presence of some vicariant and endemic taxa led some phytosociologists to propose syntaxonomic schemes aimed to emphasize the biogeographic characteristics of the Apennines and the Balkans respectively more than to highlight the amphi-Adriatic links. During our recent research on the taxonomy of S. juncifolia aggr. and its phytosociological characteristics, several problems re-emerged, while some others were uncovered for the first time. Hence our research aims at stabilization and a better circumscription of the syntaxa of various ranks characterized by the presence od different taxa within the S. juncifolia aggr.
