Allium Achaium Boiss. (Alliaceae), a Critical Species of Greek Flora
Abstract Bogdanovic, S., C. Brullo, S. Brullo, G. Giusso del Galdo, C. M. Musarella & C. Salmeri (2011). Allium achaium Boiss. (Alliaceae), a critical species of Greek flora. Candollea 66: 57–64. In English, English and French abstracts. Allium achaium Boiss. (Alliaceae), a critical and misappreciated species of Greek flora is investigated from a taxonomic point of view and illustrated. It belongs to sect. Codonoprasum Rchb. and shows close relationships with the taxa of the Allium stamineum Boiss. group. Karyology, ecology and distribution of that species are examined.
Taxonomic and phylogenetic relations of Allium chamaespathum Boiss., a remarkable species of Balkan Flora
Allium chamaespathum Boiss., the only autumn-flowering species of Sect. Allium, was studied based on morphology, karyology, seed coat microsculpturing and DNA sequences from several populations.
A new autumn-flowering species of Allium (Alliaceae) from Croatia
Here we describe Allium telmatum Bogdanovic, Brullo, Giusso & Salmeri, a new species of Allium sect. Codonoprasum from North Dalmatia (Croatia). Its chromosome number (2n = 32), karyotype, leaf anatomy, ecology and taxonomical relationships are examined. Several features, such as phenology (flowering in autumn), occurrence in coastal salt marshes, tetraploid chromosome number, and morphology, indicate that it is most closely related to the Tyrrhenian species Allium savii. On the basis of our herbarium survey, we present here a distribution map of the autumn-flowering species of Allium sect. Codonoprasum in the Mediterranean area.
<p><strong>Cytotaxonomical remarks on <em>Loncomelos visianicum </em>(Hyacinthaceae), a poorly known species endemic to Croatia</strong></p>
Loncomelos visianicum, a rare and poorly known geophyte of the Croatian flora, was described from the remote and uninhabited Adriatic island of Palagruža as Ornithogalum visianicum, and it has not been collected again for over a century. Basing on living materials, recently rediscovered in the locus classicus, it was possible to carry out a careful investigation regarding the morphology, karyology, leaf anatomy, and ecology of this very peculiar species. It is triploid, showing 2n = 42 + 0–5B chromosomes, taxonomically quite isolated, showing some morphological relationships with L. narbonense and L. creticum. Currently, L. visianicum is represented by a low number of individuals growing in…

Scorodon Koch, Allium cithaeronis Bogdanovic, C. Brullo, Brullo, Giusso, Musarella & Salmeri, is described and illustrated from Greece. Its chromosome number (2n = 16), karyogram, leaf anatomy, ecology, and taxonomical relationships are examined. For some morphological features, such as exserted stamens from perigon and tuberculate lobes in the upper part of the ovary, it represents a ve…
Loncomelos koprulense (Asparagaceae), a new species from southern Turkey
A new species, Loncomelos koprulense (Asparagaceae), is described and illustrated from southern Turkey. It is a very rare endemic species growing on small semi-rocky escarpments within the Köprülü Kanyon in the province of Antalya. Morphologically for its hairy leaves, L. koprulense shows some relationships with L. malatyanum and L. tardum, species localized in Anatolia too. The chromosome number of the new species is 2n = 2x = 22. Geographical distribution map for L. koprulense, L. malatyanum and L. tardum is provided.
