Abstract

Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott is an emergent aquatic and semi-aquatic species native to Asia, where it grows in tropical and subtropical areas. This species is widely cultivated for its edible corm and is considered as alien in various parts of the world, becoming sometimes invasive (e.g., in Spain), and in these areas eradication should be carried out. As part of ongoing studies on Araceae, in 2015 a population of C. esculenta was discovered in Rome (central Italy), where it grows along ditches. This is the first record of a naturalized population in Italy. A comprehensive view of this species in Italy and Europe was given, with clarifications about its occurrence in the Balkans, where C. esculenta was excluded from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia. A morphological description based on the population found and considerations of its ecology and the climatic conditions at the Roman site are provided.
意大利热带天南星科Colocasia esculenta外来种群的首次记录及其在东南欧发生的澄清
Colocasia esculenta(L.)Schott是一种新兴的水生和半水生物种,原产于亚洲,生长在热带和亚热带地区。该物种因其可食用的球茎而被广泛种植,在世界各地被认为是外来物种,有时会成为入侵物种(例如在西班牙),应在这些地区进行根除。作为正在进行的天南星科研究的一部分,2015年在罗马(意大利中部)发现了一个C.esculenta种群,它生长在沟渠中。这是意大利首次出现归化人口的记录。对该物种在意大利和欧洲的分布进行了全面的观察,并澄清了其在巴尔干半岛的分布,在那里,C.esculenta被排除在波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那、克罗地亚、黑山、北马其顿、塞尔维亚和斯洛文尼亚之外。根据发现的种群以及罗马遗址的生态和气候条件,提供了形态学描述。
