Paeonia daurica ssp. mlokosewitschii (Lomakin) D. Y. Hong , stat. nov. = Paeonia mlokosewitschii Lomakin in Trud Tiflis Bot. Sada 2: 282, 1897...Among the five subspecies of P. daurica, ssp. mlokosewitschii is relatively distinct; its leaflets are usually obovate with rounded but mucronate apex, mostly sparsely or rather densely puberulous, but sometimes glabrous. The subspecies is found so far only in eastern Georgia, north-western Azerbaijan and the adjacent region of Russia. It grows in deciduous forests dominated by Fagus, Quercus, Ulmus, Castanea and Acer, 2n = 10.

....in...(Lagodekhi, type locality of both P. mlokosewitschii (yellow flowers) and
P. lagodechiana (pink flowers)), we found all the colours mentioned above: white, pale yellow, yellow, pink, red and purple-red, or yellow but with red or pink periphery or a red spot at the base (Figs 5–9), the same situation as in P. delavayi (Hong et al., 1998). This is another typical example of polymorphism in petal colour. Clearly, it cannot be used as a diagnostic character for distinguishing species...
