Allium cyrilli was long misinterpreted by Italian botanists and often confused with other taxa. In order to fix the application of this name, a lectotype is selected. The taxonomy of this species is clarified and discussed, especially in relation to the similar A. nigrum. Moreover, the distribution data of A. cyrilli in Italy are significantly upda...

... of the quantitative floral characters that were measured on herbarium specimens showed significant differences between A. cyrilli and A. nigrum (Mann-Whitney, p < 0.01), with the exception of the length of the connate portion of filaments (p = 0.068) (Table 1). Moreover, other qualitative features allowing for the distinction between the two species are the colour of pedicels, tepals and ovary at flowering time, and the shape of the stamen filaments ( Fig. 2; Table 1). ...

The neotypification of A. nigrum was defined by Seisums (1998), some variants occurring in Israel were described as new species separate from A. nigrum and A. orientale by Fragman-Sapir & Fritsch (2011), and useful morphological qualitative-quantitative characters separating A. nigrum and A. cyrilli were presented by Peruzzi et al.

Nomenclatural notes on the aggregate Polycarpon tetraphyllum (Caryophyllaceae) are discussed. The names Hagaea alsinifolia, H. polycarpoides, Poycarpon colomense, P. diphyllum, and P. floribundum are typified respectively on an iconography by Boccone (lectotype), and specimens preserved in PAL (neotype), JE (lectotype), MA (Herbarium Cavanilles, lectotype), and COI (Herbarium Willkomm, lectotype). For the nomenclatural purposes the names P. bivonae (nom. nov. pro P. polycarpoides), P. herniarioides (holotype in K), P. peploides (nom. superfl. et nom. illeg. according to the Arts. 52.1 and 52.2 of the ICN), P. polycarpoides subsp. catalaunicum (holotype in BC), and P. rotundifolium (holotype in LY-Herbarium Rouy) are also discussed. P. floribundum is a heterotipic synonym of P. tetraphyllum s.s. A new synonym (P. tetraphyllum = P. rotundifolium) and three new combinations (P. tetraphyllum subsp. colomense, P. tetraphyllum subsp. herniarioides and P. tetraphyllum subsp. catalunicum,) are proposed according to the current concept in Polycarpon.

... The aim of this paper was to clarify the taxonomic value of G. micropetalum, to analyse its relationship with G. heterocarpum and to define their Italian distribution.

The systematic and taxonomic position ofGeum micropetalum, a controversial species currently treated as endemic to Italy, is discussed. The name G. micropetalum is here typified and shown to be a heterotypic synonym of G. urbanum. Herbarium survey evidenced the historical presence in Italy ofG. heterocarpum. During ad hoc field investigations carried out in 2012, we were able to confirm the presence of this species in a single small population, the only one known from Italy
... "C"). These specimens can be considered as original material, despite the absence of explicit collection dates (a constant in Herbarium Tenore, see also Di Pietro et al. 2012, Peruzzi et al. 2012, 2013): indeed, they were originarily labelled as "Silene nocturna" (exactly as in Tenore's previous publications) and then corrected by the author as "neglecta nob.". Among them, the most complete and well developed specimen from "Persano" (Fig. 1), matching well with the protologue, is here selected as the lectotype. ...
The taxonomy of the closely related Silene capraria, S. neglecta and S. nocturna in Italy is investigated, by means of morphometric and karyological analyses. The chromosome numbers of S. capraria and S. neglecta (both diploid with 2n = 24) are here reported for the first time. On the basis of the morphological results, we propose the species rank for S. neglecta, and to consider S. capraria as a vicariant narrow endemic subspecies of the widespread S. nocturna. The name S. neglecta is lectotypified on a specimen preserved in the Herbarium Tenore at NAP. With the aim to distinguish these taxa, the useful qualitative and quantitative morphological characters are highligthed.
Critical species inventories provide primary biodiversity data crucial for biogeographical, ecological, and conservation studies. After six years, a second update to the inventory of the vascular flora native to Italy is presented. It provides details on the occurrence at regional level and, for the first time, floristic data for San Marino. The checklist includes 8,241 species and subspecies, distributed in 1,111 genera and 153 families; 23 taxa are lycophytes, 108 ferns and fern allies, 30 gymnosperms, and 8,080 angiosperms. The species/subspecies endemic to Italy are 1,702, grouped in 71 families and 312 genera. The taxa currently occurring in Italy are 7,591, while 545 taxa have not been confirmed in recent times, 94 are doubtfully occurring in the country, 11 are data deficient, and 236 are reported by mistake and to be excluded at national level. Out of the 545 not confirmed taxa, 28 are considered extinct or possibly extinct.
The section Melanocrommyum Webb & Berthel. of the genus Allium L., with an Iranian-Anatolian center of diversity, has long been reduced to one species - the archeophytic segetal Allium nigrum L. - in western Europe and in the Maghreb. The discovery of Allium cyrilli Ten. in Algeria confirms the co-occurrence of two species in Maghreb, as well as in France and Spain according to recent studies. We provide a detailed and illustrated comparison of the two species from harvests and photos taken in situ in Algeria. A revision of the historical collections belongin to P and MPU herbaria allows to reject the hypothesis of an old underrecorded occurrence of A. cyrilli. Therefore, the species appears to have been relatively newly introduced in Algerian mountain crops. In the same time, A. nigrum seems to have declined in the lowland crops. An identification key based on the model of the Algerian flora of Quézel & Santa is provided.
