Abstract
In the Apuan Alps (NW Tuscany) several pIant species occur as popuIations that are morphologically, genetically andecologically distinct. Such natural groups, in formai taxonomy, are best treated at subspecific rank. Taxonomic considerations and nomenclatural adjustments are here presented for a number of taxa in the genera Carum (Umbelliferae), Buphthalmum (Compositae), Rhinanthus (Scrophulariaceae), Astrantia (Umbelliferae), and Asperula (Rubiaceae).
