Typification of the name Asperula rupestris (Rubiaceae)
Asperula rupestris Tineo (1827: 276) is a species endemic to Sicily, southern Italy. It is a chasmophyte growing on northexposed calcareous rocks and cliffs of the main promontories of NW Sicily and the islands of Favignana and Marettimo, Egadi Islands, NW of Siciliy (see e.g., Giardina et al. 2007).A nomenclatural study of Asperula rupestris (Rubiaceae, tribe Rubieae) revealed that this name has not yet been typified (Peruzzi et al. 2015). The present paper is part of ongoing research on the names of vascular plants described using specimens collected in Sicily (e.g., Di Gristina et al. 2012, 2016, 2017, 2020; Domina et al. 2014, 2016, 2017a, 2017b; Scafidi & Domina 2019; Scafidi et al…
Typification of the name Galatella sorrentinoi (Asteraceae)
The name Galatella sorrentinoi Todaro (Asteraceae) is lectotypified with a specimen housed in the Herbarium Mediterraneum Panormitanum (PAL). The specimen selected as the lectotype agrees with protologue and with the current usage of the name.
Typification of the name Eryngium siculum (Apiaceae)
As part of an ongoing study on the names of vascular plants described from Sicily, a nomenclature study of the name Eryngium siculum Lojacono-Pojero (Apiaceae Lindl.), which appears to be yet untypified, is here presented.
Typification of the name Lavatera agrigentina (Malvaceae)
As part of an ongoing study on the names of vascular plants described from Sicily (Southern Italy), a nomenclature investigation on the name Lavatera agrigentina Tineo, basionym of Malva agrigentina (Tineo) Soldano, Banfi & Galasso in Banfi et al., which appears to be yet untypified, is here presented.
