Lablab purpureus ( Fabaceae ) is a species native to tropical Africa, but widely cultivated and naturalized in many tropical and sub-tropical countries. We report the occurrence of this species for the first time in Sicily, close to the town of Palermo. The population seems to be well estab-lished and takes part to a sub-nitrophilous vegetation dominated by Oloptum miliaceum , representing the first case of naturalization of this species in Italy.","PeriodicalId":34925,"journal":{"name":"Flora Mediterranea","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71167605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The former species was long time known in Cyprus under the mis-applied name L. ocymifolium subsp. bellidifolium . The three species occur in a few coastal stretches in the east of the island. The new taxa show strong morphological similarities and can be considered as segregates of a L. ammochostianum species group. All hitherto known populations of the species group make up about 6000 individuals. L. ammochostianum and L. paralimniticum should be classified as “Endangered”, whereas L. karpasiticum as a “Data Deficient” taxon.","PeriodicalId":34925,"journal":{"name":"Flora Mediterranea","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71167941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The morphological variability of the Sicilian population of Celtis australis is examined. On the basis of leaf and branching characters, recurrent in various trees growing both in natural and urban environment, a new variety is recognized and described, indicated as Celtis australis var. panormitana. The most significant differential characters and the ecology of the new taxon are reported. Finally, the taxonomic affinities with the two other conspecific taxa are recalled. At the current state of knowledge the new variety is endemic to Sicily.","PeriodicalId":34925,"journal":{"name":"Flora Mediterranea","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71167064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The occurrence of Anredera cordifolia as invasive element of the vegetation of the watercourses of the Tyrrhenian East coast of Sicily is reported. The species indicated in Sicily as alien and then as a rapidly spreading plant in the Western sector of the island had already been reported for some generic localities in the province of Messina. Here it is reported its abundant presence, within hygrophilous forest phytocoenoses where the species ends up physiognomizing the woody vegetation of a stream.

The inventory of the taxa collected during a survey held in 2011-2013 in Uria Basin, Catanzaro Province (Calabria, S-Italy) is here reported. The investigated territory, part of an area locally known as Presila Catanzarese, is located between the Ionian Sea and the Sila Massif, along the Ionian coast of Calabria region. The vascular flora of the area is scarcely known. The floristic samplings were performed in 318 sites selected as representative of the local environmental diversity as regards to climate, litho-morphology and land-use. The research led to the identification of 871 species and subspecies of vascular plants (652 of which never recorded before in the area), belonging to 100 families and 452 genera. Among these taxa, 8 are new [the most relevant being Erodium salzmannii , Helianthemum jonium , Hypericum hircinum subsp. hircinum , Leontodon siculus , Populus nigra subsp. neapolitana ] and 3 confirmed for Calabrian flora, 51 are endemic to Italy, 32 included in IUCN Red Lists of Italian flora. In the area have been found 54 alien species, 2 of which new to Italy [ Eucalyptus astringens and E. propinqua ], 2 formerly considered native (or crytogenic) to Italy ( Oxalis corniculata and Juglans regia ). Data confirmed the great relevance of this territory for plant diversity and the need of long-term protec-tion that seems to justify the recent establishment of two specific protected areas (Valli Cupe Regional Natural Reserve and ZSC Valle Uria - IT9330185). flora, Presila catanzarese, Valli Cupe Regional Natural Reserve.

This study aims at presenting an updated inventory of the vascular flora of the Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area, including the Sites of Community Importance “Isola dei Cavoli, Serpentara, Punta Molentis e Campulongu” and partially of “Costa di Cagliari”, in Sardinia (Italy). A total of 653 taxa are reported, 84% of which are native (5% endemics) and 16% non-native (10% neophytes, 6% archaeophytes). The native component includes 406 species, 135 subspecies, two variety and one hybrid, belonging to 75 families and 313 genera. The non-native taxa are 94 species, 13 subspecies, one variety and one hybrid, belonging to 40 families and 81 genera. Life-form analysis of native species revealed a prevalence of therophytes (49%) followed by hemicryptophytes (21%), geophytes (14%) and chamaephytes (7%). Therophytes (33%) followed by phanerophytes (32%) are prevalent among the non-native taxa. Biogeographically, among native species, the Mediterranean element is largely prevailing (81%), mainly consisting of Circum-Mediterranean (39%) and Euro-Mediterranean (27%) taxa, while the American element (35%) prevails over the Mediterranean species (29%) among the non-native taxa. Among endemics, the Sardo-Corsican taxa are dominant (55%), followed by Sardo-Corsican-Tuscan Archipelago (14%) and Sardinian (10%) taxa.","PeriodicalId":34925,"journal":{"name":"Flora Mediterranea","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48527278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Old, veteran and notable trees are ecologically important keystone organisms, have tangible connections to folklore, history and, sociocultural practices, and functional characteristics fundamental for sustaining complex and unique assemblages of species. These trees can be found in different landscapes, ranging from remote mountain areas to cities, historical gardens and, agricultural areas. In Italy, an official list of monumental trees was recently published under the national law no. 10/2013 and the ministerial Decree 23 October 2014. A number of criteria can be used to identify these trees such as age and/or size, shape and growth habit, ecological value, floristic rarity, interest for its architectural structure, landscape quality, and historical, cultural and religious value. In this article we aim to provide some general information on monumental and notable trees in Sardinia, as well as on old-growth forest, based on the recent monograph published for Sardinia by I.
