[5] He published four monographs, in which he described about two hundred new species, [6] among them for example Ranunculus mendax (Markl.) Ericsson, [7] as well as several smaller papers.

Selected publications

  • Die Taraxacum-Flora Estlands (1938) [8]
  • Die Taraxacum-Flora Nylands (1940) [9]
  • Outlines of evolution in the pseudogamous Ranunculus auricomus group in Finland (G. Marklund & A. Rousi, 1961) [10]
  • Der Ranunculus auricomus-Komplex in Finnland 1 (...) R. auricomus L. coll. (s.str.) (1961) [11]
