Hieracium bertisceum is described as a species new to science and illustrated. It is compared with H. (sect. Hieracium) transylvanicum and H. oxyodon (bupleuroides-bifidum) and is assumed to originate from the crossing of these two species, an assumption further supported by its similarity to the equally sympatric H. pseudobifidum (transylvanicum-bifidum). Currently it is only known from a mountain ridge of Mt Marijas in the Prokletije Mts, in the central Balkan Peninsula.
