This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Szeląg, Zbigniew, Vladimirov, Vladimir (2025): Pilosella kalinensis (Asteraceae), a new diploid species in P. sect. Alpicolinae from the Rila Mountains in Bulgaria. Phytotaxa 694 (2): 201-204, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.694.2.8, URL: doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.694.2.8 Pilosella kalinensis is a new, diploid species, discovered in extreme habitats on the highest peaks in the Rila Mountains in Bulgaria.

It belongs to the P. alpicola aggregate within P. sect. Alpicolinae and is distinguished by having somewhat larger capitula covered with very dense, long, blackish, straight trichomes. It is endangered by hybridization with P. rhodopea.
