Dremliuga N. The Genus Campanula L. in the flora of Ukraine

The thesis deals with the results of the comparative-morphological study of the genus Campanula L. in the flora of Ukraine. We examined more than 100 morphological characters; among them 14 characters are confirmed as the diagnostic ones. They include the new diagnostic characters for the series. We used the classification scheme of the life forms. We first revealed that the plants of 3 species are semishrubs. We proposed a fragment of the system of this genus, including 3 sections, 7 subsections, 14 series, 29 species, 6 subspecies. We proposed 5 new series and 3 new for the flora of Ukraine subspecies. A dichotomic key for identification of species of the genus Campanula in the flora of Ukraine was elaborated.
