2012
Abstract Sorbus madoniensis, a new species of Sorbus sect. Aria, is described, so far known only from two neighbouring localities on Mt. Carbonara (Madonie mountains, Sicily). It is related to S. graeca, which also occurs in the Madonie, and indeed shares with S. madoniensis one of its localities.
The potential of the Sorb (Sorbus domestica L.) as a minor fruit species in the Mediterranean areas: description and quality traits of underutilized …
2017
Biodiversity linked to fruit cultivation plays a key role in terms of the availability of quality products and nutraceutical compounds for the food industry. Thus underutilized species such as Sorbus domestica L. can be an important resource. The aim of this study was to evaluate 31 local accessions from different growing areas on the Island of Sicily and characterize the fruits according to the biometric-carpological features that constitute their quality in order to understand the potential that this species may have not only regarding the recovery and preservation of genetic resources in the Mediterranean area but also the nutraceutical compounds it offers. The results from this prelimin…

Acquisizioni filogenetiche e variazioni tassonomiche in alcune rosacee legnose della flora Italiana
2018
In Italia, secondo la recentissima sintesi di Bartolucci et al., la flora vascolare nativa sarebbe rappresentata da 1092 generi di piante vascolari. Fra di essi ricorre Sorbus L. (Rosaceae) a cui vengono attribuiti 11 taxa specifici e sottospecifici (ivi compresi alcuni taxa ibridogeni) e un dodicesimo taxon da confermare nel territorio italiano. In questo contributo si vuole porre attenzione proprio alla recentissima checklist europea di Sorbus s.l. basata su acquisizioni di carattere filogenetico sul gruppo e, più in generale, sulle Pyrinae. In particolare, si fa riferimento allo studio di Sennikov, Kurtto in cui Sorbus L. viene praticamente smembrato in numerosi altri generi, mentre i ta…
Sorbus busambarensis (Rosaceae), a new endemic species of Sicily
2012
Abstract In this study, Sorbus busambarensis, a new species from Rocca Busambra (Palermo, NW Sicily) has been described and named. On the basis of the critical features of its flowers, fruits and leaves, it is noted to be a member of S. sect. Aria and is related to the other taxa that form the polymorphic group of S. aria, which in Sicily is represented by S. aria s. str., S. graeca and S. umbellata.
