Stellaria ruderalis is an annual (semi)ruderal species from the S. media group, which has been recently published by Lepší et al., therefore, its distribution range in Europe is insufficiently known. This paper is based on field exploration of 39 localities of S. media s.l. in the Lviv region, Western Ukraine. The first report of S. ruderalis in Ukraine comes from Dmytre village, where it grows at roadsides and arable field edges in a semiruderal habitat of the alliance Aegopodion podagrariae. As only a single population was found, Stellaria ruderalis is obviously still spreading in Western Ukraine, a fact which was reported already for northern Central Europe. This record represents the northeasternmost locality of the species so far known.

A new species of stem actinopterygian, Helmolepis cyphognatus sp. nov., is reported from the Lower Triassic Sulphur Mountain Formation of western Canada (probably Smithian). This taxon differs from the only other known Early Triassic platysiagid, H. gracilis from the Lower Triassic Wordie Creek Formation of East Greenland (Griesbachian), in counts of branchiostegal rays, shape of the maxilla, shape (and possibly counts) of extrascapulars, and the size ratio of major opercular bones. In spite of their overall unfavorable preservation, the numerous available specimens amend our knowledge of the little known genus Helmolepis considerably: it has become evident that the morphology of Helmolepis cyphognatus sp. nov. comes closest to Platysiagum minus (Middle Triassic Besano Formation of central Europe). This study suggests placement of the two genera in the family Platysiagidae. Investigation of this new species also shows certain features of the cheek and the caudal fin are more primitive than previously believed, whereas the snout region is probably derived but of yet uncertain affinities in Helmolepis.

Two holarctically distributed species groups of Sepedon, S. fuscipennis (5 spp.) and spinipes (2 spp.) are reviewed. The diagnostic characters of all species are compared and the distinguishing structures of the male terminalia are illustrated. The Palaearctic Sepedon hecate sp. nov. is described and compared with the Nearctic species of the S. fuscipennis group. The new species is distributed mainly in the East Palaearctic but apparently penetrates to Central Europe. A detailed study of the male terminalia of the Palaearctic S. spinipes spinipes (Scopoli, 1763) and the Nearctic S. spinipes americana Steyskal, 1951 shows that the Nearctic taxon actually represents a well distinguished species, S. americana Steyskal, 1951, stat. nov.

Rubus ser. Rhamnifolii includes apomictic polyploid species, which occur in north-western and central Europe, with rare outposts to eastern central Europe. A regionally distributed tetraploid species of the series occurring north and south of the Eastern Alps in Austria and Germany, Rubus noricus is described here. The new species is morphologically compared with similar taxa of the series, moreover, comprehensive iconography, data on distribution and ecology are presented.

Genista Linnaeus (1753: 709) is a large genus of spiny and non-spiny shrubs including over 90 species, mainly distributed in the Mediterranean region but also represented throughout most of western and central Europe, and extending to the southeast of the former USSR, Turkey, Syria and North Africa. The genus is usually arranged into three subgenera and 10 sections (Gibbs 1966, 1968). Among these, Genista subg. Spartocarpus Spach (1844: 240) is widespread in the Balkan Peninsula and the eastern Mediterranean, but has a secondary centre in the Balearic Islands, Sardinia, Sicily, north Africa, and southern Spain (Pardo et al. 2004). According to the most recent generic revision (Gibbs 1966), G. subg. Spartocarpus includes four sections: sect. Spartocarpus, sect. Acanthospartum Spach (1844: 247), sect. Fasselospartum Gibbs (1966: 20) and sect. Cephalospartum Spach (1844: 254).
