Preliminary checklist of the Italian gypsophilous flora

The richness and uniqueness of the flora growing on gypsum substrates in Italy is known since the XIX century (Macchiati, 1888). Furthermore, the concept of plant gypsophily can be defined as the exclusiveness (or virtually exclusiveness) for living in gypsum outcropping rocks. Thus only those plant species, which show preference – or even exclusivity - for gypsum substrates, would be classified as gipsophilous (Mota et al., 2011). The main aim of this research has been the elaboration of a checklist of the Italian gypsophilous flora. The study was made possible through international collaboration between the "Mediterranea" University of Reggio Calabria (Italy) and the University of Almería…

Distribution of the genus Gagea (Liliaceae) in Sicily

An updated geographical distribution of the genus Gagea in Sicily with a grid map for each taxon is given. This study is based on literature, herbarium and field investigations. The examined species are G. bohemica (Zauschn.) Schult. & Schult. f., G. chrysantha Schult. & Schult. f. sensu stricto, G. dubia A. Terracc., G. foliosa (C. Presl) Schult. & Schult. f., G. fragifera (Vill.) E. Bayer & G. L.pez Gonz.lez, G. granatelli (Parl.) Parl., G. lacaitae A. Terracc., G. lojaconoi Peruzzi, G. sicula Lojac., G. trinervia (Viv.) Greuter. The occurrence in Sicily of the phytogeographically interesting G. mauritanica Durieu is here confirmed in three localities. Besides, the actual presence in Sici…

Lista Rossa IUCN della Flora Italiana. 1. Policy Species e altre specie minacciate

As part of the Mediterranean global biodiversity hotspot, the Italian flora is particularly rich of species, many of them endemic to restricted territories. In some areas of Italy endemic plant species reach very high percentages, between 13% and 20% of the local flora. However, plant diversity in the Mediterranean Basin is facing several threats due to changes of the current socio-economic dynamics. Italy is not an exception and urgent conservation measures are needed to halt the loss of biodiversity and preserve the numerous threatened species. This volume is the output of a project started in 2012, funded by the Italian Ministry of Environment for the Protection of Land and Sea and carri…

The genus Taraxacum (Asteraceae) in Italy. III. A new species of T. sect. Erythrocarpa from Sicily

Taraxacum sect. Erythrocarpa is reported for the first time for Sicily. After field, herbarium and laboratory studies, a new species belonging to that section is described as new to science: T. garbarianum (2n = 32). Morphological, cytotaxonomical and distributional data are illustrated and discussed.
