Countries in the Balkan Peninsula for which confirmed reports
of Arceuthobium oxycedri exist include: the former Yugoslav
Republics of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Yugoslavia
(Serbia, Kosovo and Montenegro), as well as Macedonia, Albania,
Bulgaria, and Greece. Mapping collection sites in this region
is particularly challenging because of the region's turbulent
history. Political boundaries and place names have changed repeatedly.
In the past century, portions of the Balkan Peninsula have been
under Austro-Hungarian, Italian, and Turkish influences; areas
have been incorporated into Yugoslavia and then gained independence
(Stanley 1989). References to "Macedonia" (e.g., Hayck
1924) may refer to either the country or the Greek province.
Former Yugoslav Republics
Arceuthobium oxycedri is reported from the present
day Balkan states of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and
Yugoslavia on Juniperus communis, J. drupacea Labillard,
and J. oxycedrus (Bondev and Lybenova 1984; Boissier 1879;
Hawksworth and Wiens 1996) (Table
1). Spaulding (1956) reports Chamaecyparis thyoides,
an exotic planted in Croatia, is also infected (Table
2).
Turrill (1920, 1926) and Hawksworth and Wiens (1996) report
Arceuthobium oxycedri from sites in present day Slovenia
and Croatia (including Istria and Dalmatia, Table
7 and Map 6). The locations
Lika-Krbava and Valle Senjska reported by Hawksworth
and Wiens (1996) in Hungary are probably the same as Lika
Krbava above Zengg reported earlier by Turrill (1926)
and now known as Senj. Several references are made to a site
between Buccariza and Porto Ree, (or Porto Ré) (Turrill
1920, 1926; HAL; HBG) and near Fiume and Porto Ree (HAL). Buccariza
is presently known as Bakarac and Fiume is the present day city
of Rijeka. Porto Ree is presently known as Kraljevica (Steinhof
2001). Reported Slovenian or Croatian collection sites we were
unable to locate include: Carcauzze (Turrill 1920, 1926;
Hawksworth and Wiens 1996); Vanderinga Valley and Borutto
(Turrill 1920, 1926); Lensia and "near Trebocconi
and Klujuc" (Turrill 1926); and Abazia
and Padena-Kastel (M).
Occurrence of juniper dwarf mistletoe in Bosnia-Herzegovina
(Table 7; Map
6) is reported by Turrill (1920, 1926) and by Hawksworth
and Wiens (1996). Turrill (1920) cites a report for Stol, Serbia
which we believe to be the community of Stolac in the southern
part of present day Bosnia-Herzegovina. Turrill (1926) lists
Magliç as a site in Serbia; this is probably Magliç
in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Locations not found include: Tasovcic,
Zitomislic, Dubrava
Forest, Citluk, Krucevic on the Narenta River (present
day Neretva River), and Neum (Turrill 1926); and Urncenci
in Valle Narontis (Hawksworth and Wiens 1996).
Collections and reports from Yugoslavia (Serbia, Kosovo, and
Montenegro) are presented in Table
7 and Map 6 (Hawksworth and
Wiens 1996; Josifovic 1973; Mijuskovic
1973; Turrill 1920, 1926). Sites reported by Turrill (1926) not
located are: Serbia -- Demeronji, Zimovinku, and
Borju; Montenegro -- Gomsice.
Hawksworth and Wiens (1996) identify a site for Yugoslavia in
German as "Tajashihe oberhalt Autostrasse bei Tadronova."
Macedonia
Hayck (1924), Turrill (1920, 1926), and Hawksworth and Wiens
(1996) identify the mistletoe as occurring in Macedonia (Table 7; Map
6); but which Macedonia is unclear. Although Turrill (1920,
1926) distinguishes between a north Macedonia and south Macedonia,
we located several sites from his "north Macedonia"
in Greece. Hawksworth and Wiens (1996) describe a site three
miles north of Ochoida which refers to either the city, Ohrid,
or the lake, Ohridsko Jezero. We were unable to locate a site
described as Wodno from HBG.
Albania
Arceuthobium oxycedri collection sites in Albania that
could be located on maps are summarized in Table
8 and Map 6 (Hawksworth and
Wiens 1996; Turrill 1920, 1926). One site is variously cited
as in District Janina, between Paleochori and Syrareon
by Turrill (1920) and as Jamina District, between Paleschori
and Sryanoni by Hawksworth and Wiens (1996). Other locations
not found include: District Hoti and Bukovik (Turrill
1920); and Loussou (Hawksworth and Wiens 1996).
Bulgaria
The occurrence of Arceuthobium oxycedri in Bulgaria
is reported from several sources (Bondev and Lyubenova 1984;
Hawksworth and Wiens 1996; Turrill 1920, 1926; HAL; HBG; M) (Table 9). These reports are almost
exclusively from southern and western Bulgaria including a number
of records from the Rhodope Mountains, a range that spans the
frontiers of Bulgaria, Macedonia (Map
6), and Greece (Map 7). Collection
sites that could not be located on country maps include: above
Stanimaka (Turrill 1920), a site that he later places
in the Rhodope Mountains (as Rodope massif) (Turrill 1926). He
also reports a site south of Daridere that could not be
located. Other Bulgarian collection sites not located are: Simorovo
and Delbocko (Bondev and Lyubenova 1984); Karlik Dagh
in the Rhodope Mts. (Hawksworth and Wiens 1996); Canopo
(HBG); and Chovjna in the Rhodope Mountains (HAL).
Greece
Arceuthobium oxycedri is reported from many locations
in Greece including the Provinces of Attica, Epirus (Ipiros),
Macedonia (Makedonia), Peleponnese (Peloponissos), Thrace (Thraki),
and Thessaly (Thessalia) by Boissier (1879), Hawksworth and Wiens
(1996), and Turrill (1920, 1926). The located sites are identified
in Table 10 and Map
7. Reported sites we were unable to locate on country maps
are: Klinovo, Sermeniko in Pindus, and Mt. Xerolivadon
(Turrill 1920, 1926); and Tonsenitza (Hawksworth and Wiens
1996). Turrill (1926) lists Phthiotidis, Nidze
Planinai, slope of Bermic Ridge, south of Vodena,
Belasitsa Planina in South Macedonia and Tekir Dagh,
Canakca, Kalfa-Keoi, near Domouzdere, Bodoma,
and Dervant in Thrace. Most of these last names appear
to be Turkish and may refer to sites actually in Turkey. Miller
(1982) identifies Domouzdere as a collection site in the Istanbul
region.
