Typha shuttleworthii W. D. J. Koch & Sond.

(≡ T. latifolia subsp. shuttleworthii (W. D. J. Koch & Sond.) Stoj. & Stef. ; = T. latifolia var. bethulona (Costa) Kronf.)

+ Cg: Montenegro: Northern region, Boljanići, Sađe, Jakupov grob, swamp, 8 Aug 2022, Kuzmanović & Stevanoski (BEOU 45965); ibid., Boljanići, Čardak, in Typhetum shuttleworthii , 8 Aug 2022, Kuzmanović & Stevanoski (BEOU 45966).

– According to Cook (1980), Typha shuttleworthii is distributed in SC and SE Europe, except Hungary where its occurrence is doubtful. However, according to Király (2007) and POWO (2023), it is considered extinct for this country. In former Yugoslavia it is known from Slovenia ( Martinčić & al. 1999), Croatia ( Nikolić 2015 +), Bosnia and Herzegovina (Hayek & Markgraf 1933) and Serbia ( Jovanović 1986; Niketić & Tomović 2018; Tomović & al. 2020; Jenačković-Gocić & al. 2020; Sabovljević & al. 2021). A record for Montenegro in the surroundings of Spuž and Danilovgrad (Rohlena 1942: 499, as T. latifolia var. bethulona (Costa) Kronf.), was in fact overlooked by Uotila (2011+b), but Rohlena reported the species even earlier from a swamp near Danilovgrad ( Rohlena 1904: 86, as T. latifolia var. bethulona ) noting that he could not be sure whether the plants he collected were T. shuttleworthii because the material was not in fruit. The populations found near Pljevlja (Boljanići) cover an area of about 5 m 2 each and corroborate the occurrence of that species in the N part of the country. At the first site near Jakupov grob it was found in a swamp together with Deschampsia cespitosa (L.) P. Beauv., Equisetum arvense L., Juncus inflexus L., Mentha longifolia (L.) L. and Valeriana officinalis L., neighboured by Filipendula ulmaria (L.) Maxim. tall herb vegetation. The second site at Čardak is a small shallow pond where the association Typhetum shuttleworthii was recorded. The species is known from similar habitats in Serbia.
