Abstract

Three new taxa of red fescues (Festuca aggr. rubra L.) with entirely or partly pseudoviviparous spikelets are described from the Russian Far East (Yevreyskaya Avtonomnaya Oblast’, south of the Amur River) and from the Baikal Siberia (Irkutskaya Oblast’, Baikalo-Lenskii Nature Reserve): F. raddei Enustschenko et Prob., F. breviramea Enustschenko, F. rubrа L. var. caulispicula Enustschenko. In addition, a non-pseudoviviparous new species F. karaginensis Enustschenko et Prob. (also from Festuca aggr. rubra) is described from Karaginskii Island (near the eastern coast of Kamchatka Peninsula).

Key words: Festuca aggr. rubra, pseudoviviparity, new taxa, Poaceae, Gramineae, Baikal Siberia, Far East, Russia
