Taxonomic and Phylogenetic Investigations on Psoralea Acaulis (Psoraleeae: Fabaceae) With the Description of A New Genus Kartalinia
2018
Salmeri, Cristina/0000-0002-5261-590X WOS: 000454161300003 Psoralea acaulis Hoffm. is a very peculiar and taxonomically isolated species of the tribe Psoraleeae, occurring in the Caucasian territories. Currently, this tribe contains 10 distinct genera, well differentiated morphologically. Due to some morphological similarities, P. acaulis was attributed to Bituminaria Heist ex Fabr., a genus with a Mediterranean-Macaronesian distribution. However, as it has many characters, some of which are autapomorphic, it was assigned its own subgenus: Christevenia Barneby ex C. H. Stirt. In light of detailed cladistic and phylogenetic analyses, this arrangement is taxonomically questionable and rather …
A new species of Anthemis sect. Hiorthia (Asteraceae) from SE Sicily
2013
A new species of Anthemis sect. Hiorthia (Asteraceae) is described from Sicily. This taxon, named A. piagnattiorum, is confined to a restricted area of the Hyblaean territory (SE Sicily), in the Natural Reserve of Cava Grande (Cassibile, Siracuse), where it takes shelter on carbonate rocky habitat and participates, with other Sicilian endemic taxa, to the composition of a termophilous chasmophytic community (Putorio calabricae–Micromerietum microphyllae).
STUDI TASSONOMICI SU ADENOSTYLES ALPINA (ASTERACEAE) IN ITALIA MERIDIONALE
Adenostyles Cass., è un genere endemico europeo, appartenente alla la tribù delle Senecioneae, e fa parte del cosidetto ‘gruppo Quadridentato’ insieme ai generi Caucasalia B. Nord., Dolichorrhiza (Pojark.) Galushko, Iranecio B. Nord. e Pojarkovia Askerova. Esso è prevalentemente distribuito in tutto il territorio alpino, ma il suo areale si estende anche alla Spagna settentrionale, Corsica (Francia) e lungo tutta la catena appenninica in Italia, comprese le montagne della Calabria e della Sicilia, Balcani e, dubitativamente, in Grecia. Nel presente studio vengono presentati i risultati sugli studi tassonomici effettuati sui taxa appartenenti al gruppo di Adenostyles alpina (Asteraceae) pres…
Taxonomic investigations on Psoralea palaestina (Fabaceae), a critical species of Mediterranean flora
2016
Psoralea palaestina is a critical and unappreciated species described from Palestinian territories, and currently treated as synonym of P. bituminosa, nowadays known as Bituminaria bituminosa. Nomenclatural investigations allowed to ascertain that it was validly described for the first time by Bassi (1768) and not by Gouan (1773), as previously thought. Extensive taxonomic investigations revealed that this very peculiar legume is morphologically well differentiated from the other allied known species. Therefore, it has to be properly treated at specific level and transferred to the genus Bituminaria, thus proposing a new combination: Bituminaria palaestina. Based on literature, herbarium an…
