Sectional names in the genus Hieracium(Asteraceae) sensu stricto

Abstract

The literature from 1794 to the present on the infrageneric classification of Hieracium L. sensu stricto is analysed. The 38 informal groups recognized in Flora Europaea by Sell & West (1976) are considered as sections, and the correct name for each at that rank is listed, with basionym and synonymy. The 38 names include three new combinations and four new sections.
