The genus R hinanthus L . is complex, containing many taxonomically unresolved taxa. In this paper we studied genetic variation and species relationships in 15 populations of six R hinanthus species from three sections. For this purpose, we developed new microsatellite primers for R . osiliensis and used them to investigate genetic variation in two narrow endemics ( R . osiliensis , R . javorkae ) and in four widespread species ( R . rumelicus R . wagneri , R . angustifolius and R . minor ). Species‐specific private alleles were found in all species except R . osiliensis and R . angustifolius . The B ulgarian endemic R . javorkae showed the lowest genetic variation, followed by widespread R . minor and E stonian endemic R . osiliensis . R hinanthus javorkae and R . minor were genetically most differentiated. Section C leistolemus is weakly structured genetically, indicating close affinity between R . osiliensis , R . rumelicus , R . wagneri and R . angustifolius .
