Abstract. Three new taxa of the genus Potentilla L. are described. P. x boreo-caucasica nothosp. nova is a hybrid from the North Caucasus. P. ekaterinae sp. nova is a new species from the mountains of Southern Mongolia, closely related to P. ikonnikovii Juz. The last two species endemic to Central and South Mongolia are referred to an isolated section Ikonnikovia sect. nova which is described here.
Keywords: Potentilla, new species, new hybrid, new section, North Caucasus, South Mongolia, endemics.
Аннотация. Из рода Potentilla L. описываются три новых таксона. P. x boreo-caucasica nothosp. nova — гибрид c Северного Кавказа. P. ekaterinae sp. nova — новый вид, близкородственный P. ikonnikovii Juz., с гор Южной Монголии. Два последних вида являются эндемичными для Центральной и Южной Монголии и относятся к описываемой здесь обособленной секции Ikonnikovia sect. nova.
Ключевые слова: Potentilla, новый вид, новый гибрид, новая секция, Северный Кавказ, Южная Монголия, эндемики.
The revision of the specimens of the genus Potentilla L. deposited in the Herbarium of Komarov Botanical Institute RAS (LE) revealed two interesting and previously unknown taxa at the rank of species, one of them together with P. ikonnikovii Juz. comprising a new section. In addition to the material from LE, specimens of the Herbaria E, HAL, MW, OSBU, PE and UBA are investigated.
The descriptions of the new taxa are provided below.
Potentilla x boreo-caucasica Kechaykin, nothosp. nova (P. incana G. Gaertn., B. Mey. et Scherb. x P. hu-mifusa Willd. ex D. F. K. Schltdl.) (sect. Fasciculato-pi-losae Kamelin).
Perennial plant. Stems 2-5, up to 10-15 cm, branched above the middle. Basal leaves digitate with 5-7 leaflets. Leaflets 1-3 cm long, oblong-obovate with 2-5 teeth on each side, green on upper surface, ash-gray on lower one, the both surfaces with numerous stellate hairs. Sepals ovate-lanceolate, usually 3-4 mm long; epicalyx segments lanceolate, shorter than sepals. Stamens са. 20. Styles subterminal, shorter than achenes.
Affinity. Differs from P. humifusa by leaflets with 2-5 terminal teeth on each side (not 5-8), lower surface ash-gray (not green), numerous stellate hairs on leaflets (not only simple hairs). Differs from P. incana by palmately compound leaves with 5-7 (not 3-5) leaflets.

Holotype (Fig. 1): «Maschuka; acc. 1837, Hoefft» (LE: LE01025699).
Paratypes: «Herbarium J. Klinge. Fundort: Kauk., Maschuka. 5 VI 1826, leg. Hofft» (LE); «Maj. am Maschuka. Caucasus. Hohenacker, № 4079» (LE).
Distribution. The species is restricted to the western part of the Stavropol Territory (collected on Mashuk Mt.).
Etymology. The epithet originates from the area of the species distribution (North Caucasus).
Potentilla x boreo-caucasica is one of the few taxa of the section Fasciculato-pilosae having palmately compound leaves with 5-7 leaflets. The section also includes P. pusilla Host, Central European and Mediterranean species, which is apparently a hybrid between P. incana and P. heptaphylla L. (Kamelin, 2001), and P. x gabarae Kolodziejek, a hybrid between P. leuco-politana P. J. Müll. and P. incana, widespread in Poland (Kolodziejek, 2009). The diagnostic features distinguishing P. x boreo-caucasica from closely related species are given in the Table.
Potentilla ekaterinae Kamelin ex Kechaykin, sp. nova (sect. Ikonnikoviae Kechaykin).
Perennial plant forming dense sods. Stems 1-2, up to 5 cm tall. Leaves ternate. Lateral leaflets with 2-3 teeth not entire. Terminal leaflet usually with 2 remote pairs of lobes. Petioles and pedicels not articulate, stip-

ular auricles lateral, leaflets with teeth or lobes more than 0.6 mm long. Leaflets green beneath, with straight or slightly curved hairs, not densely hairy, glandular. Leaflets up to half way to the midrib or deeper lobed. Leaflet teeth or segments ± obtuse. Calyx pubescent with short, soft hairs and numerous small glands. Sepals 3-4 mm long. Stamens ± 20, achenes not callose. Styles subterminal, shorter than achenes.
Affinity. Differs from the related P. ikonnikovii Juz. by small cushion-forming habit, typically up to 5 cm tall (not up to 15 cm), ternate leaves (not pinnate), leaflets up to 5 mm long (not 15 mm).
Holotype (Fig. 2): Южно-Гобийский аймак, в 40 км к С от пос. Гурван-Тэс, гора Нэмэгэту-Ула, h = 2632 м, влажные трещины скал по сев. склону, 29 VII 1972, Н. П. Гуричева, Е. И. Рачковская, № 2557 [South Gobi aimag, 40 km N of Gurvan-Tes settlement, Nemegetu-Ula Mt., h = 2632 m, wet cracks of the rocks along N slope, 29 VII 1972, N. P. Guricheva, E. I. Rach-kovskaya, № 2557] (LE: LE01031030).
Distribution. The species is restricted to the western part of Gurvan Saikhan Uul Range in the highlands of Nemegt Uul Mts.
Etymology. The species is named in honor of its collector, Ekaterina Ivanovna Rachkovskaya, a well-known geobotanist and specialist on the steppes and deserts of Asia.
R. V. Kamelin was apparently the first who distinguished this interesting and rare plant and gave it the name «Potentilla ekaterinae sp. n.» (R. Kamelin, in sched.). He also indicated the affinity and some diagnostic features of this taxon on the label.
Potentilla ekaterinae and its close relative P. ikon-nikovii make a distinct group which I consider at the sectional rank.
Potentilla L. sect. Ikonnikovia Kechaykin, sect. nova.
Small plants (typically up to 15 cm tall) forming sods or cushions, covered with short soft hairs and numerous small glandules. Leaves pinnately compound with two pairs of leaflets or ternate. Leaflets with 1-2(3) teeth on
each side. Inflorescence 1-2(3-4)-flowered. Upper belt of the mountains of Central and Southern Mongolia.
Type: Potentilla ikonnikovii Juz.
In addition, all the specimens of P. ikonnikovii Juz. known to me are cited below, since it may be of use in further studies of this rare taxon.
