Topic: Salix euxina

Hi Chris

Can you add Salix euxina I.V. Belyaeva?

See http://archive.bsbi.org.uk/BSBINews118.pdf (page 10) and https://www.jstor.org/stable/27757021?s … b_contents

Thanks

(I assume [hope] I can leave synonymy to you......)

Re: Salix euxina

Crikey, that's a bit of a shocker!  By my reckoning that involves quite a bit of radical rejigging. Off the top of my head the effect would be:

add Salix euxina I.V.Belyaeva as a new concept
Extract all Salix * decipiens as junior synonyms
(this is the true species concept)

Sink Salix fragilis L. as a junior synonym of
Salix fragilis x alba = S. x rubens Schrank
(this is the hybrid)

Leave other fragilis hybrids as they are ... because it's too complicated?!

What do you think?

Re: Salix euxina

I think it's a bit more complicated but I am taking advice from Fred Rumsey and a few others here :)  Ironically Irina Belyaeva works at the NHM quite often so I could ask her directly. However, the complexity doesn't come from her redefinition but more from the chaos that it causes in other things ;)

Re: Salix euxina

OK, so here it goes ... 

New species concept:
====================
* add Salix euxina I.V.Belyaeva as a new concept
tvk NHMSYS0021164436
* Extract all Salix * decipiens as junior synonyms

Hybrid:
=======

* Create a new name - Salix euxina x alba = S. x fragilis L.
tvk NHMSYS0021164515
as the new name for Salix fragilis x alba = S. x rubens Schrank

* Sink Salix fragilis var. fragilis as a junior synonym of Salix fragilis x alba = S. x rubens Schrank

add Salix euxina x alba x triandra = S. x alopecuroides Tausch
tvk NHMSYS0021164547
to Salix fragilis x triandra = S. x alopecuroides Tausch ex Opiz

add Salix euxina x alba x babylonica = S. x pendulina Wender.
tvk NHMSYS0021164553
to Salix fragilis x babylonica = S. x pendulina Wender.

add Salix pentandra x euxina x alba = S. x meyeriana Rostk. ex Willd.
tvk NHMSYS0021164559
to Salix pentandra x fragilis = S. x meyeriana Rostk. ex Willd.

* Sink Salix fragilis L. as a junior synonym of Salix fragilis x alba = S. x rubens Schrank

so all of the following:

Salix fragilis L. (Species, flowering plant)
   =Salix fragilis var. furcata Ser. ex Gaudin   
   =Salix fragilis var. russelliana (Sm.) W.D.J. Koch   
   =Salix russeliana Sm.   
   =Salix fragilis var. russelliana (Smith) Koch   
   =Crack-willow   
   =Bedford Willow   
   =Bedford Willow   
   =Fork-flowered Willow   
   =Helygen Frau   
   =Crack Willow   
   =helyg brau   
   =helygen frau

merge as junior synonyms of:

Salix euxina x alba = S. x fragilis L.
   =Salix fragilis x alba = S. x rubens Schrank (Species hybrid, flowering plant)
   =Salix alba x fragilis (S. x rubens) Schrank   
   =Salix x basfordiana Scaling ex Salter   
   =Salix x rubens Schrank   
   =Salix x rubens nothovar. basfordiana (Scaling ex Salter) Meikle   
   =Salix alba vitellina x fragilis   
   =Salix alba x fragilis   
   =Salix fragilis x alba vitellina   
   =Salix x rubens nothovar. basfordiana (Scaling ex J.Salter) Meikle   
   =Salix x basfordiana Scaling ex J.Salter   
   =Salix x rubens basfordiana (Scaling ex Salter) Meikle   
   =Hybrid Crack-willow   
   =helygen frau groesryw   
   =Hybrid Crack-Willow   
   =Hybrid Crack-Willow

I think that just about does it :D
