A succinct description of the Euro+Med project, with a
list of recognized territories and their abbreviations, and
the conventions used to indicate the status and presence
of taxa, can be found in the introduction to the first instal-
ment of the Euro+Med Notulae (Greuter & Raab-Straube
2005: 223 226) and on the Euro+Med PlantBase website
(Euro+Med 2006+). For the previous instalment of the
Euro+Med-Checklist Notulae, see Raab-Straube & Raus

Amaranthaceae s. str. and on the vascular flora
of Tunisia (e.g. El Mokni & al. 2013, 2016;
Iamonico 2014a, 2014b, 2015a; Iamonico &
Jarvis 2012; Iamonico & Sánchez Del Pino
2014, 2016; Iamonico & El Mokni 2017, 2018),
many populations identifiable as Achyranthes
aspera, occupying an area of some hectares,
were found in the forest of Dar Chichou in the
Cap Bon region. Achyranthes aspera was previ-
ously known to occur in N Africa only in Egypt
(Iamonico 2015b+ and references therein).
Concerning Tunisia, all the former records of
Achyranthes refer to A. sicula (L.) All. (Bonnet
& Barratte 1896; Greuter & al. 1984; Le Floc’h
& Boulos 2008; Le Floc’h & al. 2010; Dobi-
gnard & Chatelain 2011a).
Achyranthes aspera is morphologically
similar to A. sicula, from which it diers in
having the stem pubescent (vs glabrescent or
nearly so in A. sicula) and the leaves green
on both surfaces (vs white tomentose on the
abaxial surface in A. sicula) (Bao & al. 2003;
Robertson 2003; Iamonico 2017). Furthermore,
A. aspera is a very variable species morpho-
logically. In fact, several taxa were described
in the past (see, e.g., Tropicos 2018+), and
some authors recognized one or more varieties,
namely A. aspera var. aspera, A. aspera var.
indica L., A. aspera var. villosior (Hensl.)
D.M. Porter, which dier from each other in
characters of stems (indumentum) and leaves
(shape, apex, colour). However, ongoing stud-
ies carried out by one of us (D.I.) show that all
forms of A. aspera always display leaves green
on both surfaces (never white tomentose as in
A. sicula; see also Bao & al. 2003). Accord-
ing to Iamonico (2015b+), we therefore prefer
to consider A. sicula as a separate species and
A. aspera in the wide sense. However, fur-
ther investigations (especially with molecular
methods, which are still lacking for A. sicula)
are necessary to reach a final taxonomic deci-
sion on these taxa.

in Algeria and Morocco, with doubtful/proba-
ble presence for Tunisia (cf. Tison 2010). Nei-
ther the recent Tunisian checklist (Le Floch’h
& al. 2010) nor the online African flora data-
base (APD 2018) recorded or confirmed this
species in Tunisia. Our discovery (June 2014)
is therefore the first concerning the native Tu-
nisian flora and includes several populations
located mainly on clayey soils in degraded
scrublands of calcareous mountains in N Tu-
nisia (govenorates of Béja and Bizerte). The
plants occur in an area of about 1000km2 and
seem actually not to be threatened by human
activities and/or interspecific competition.

Apocynaceae
Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don
A Tn: Tunisia: Nabeul, Nabeul city, 36°27'32"N,
10°44'49"E, 13m, roadsides, 11 Dec 2016, El
Mokni (herb. Univ. Monastir). A perennial,
evergreen herb native to Madagascar, widely
cultivated as an ornamental and more recently
as a medicinal plant, used as the source of the
drugs vincristine and vinblastine to treat can-
cer, now found growing feral in many warm-
temperate to subtropical regions of the world.
In the Euro+Med region the taxon is reported
as naturalized in the Canary Islands and as a
casual alien in Crete (Yannitsaros 2006). In the
African Plant Database (APD 2018) the taxon
is listed only as cultivated in Morocco. The
present report as a casual alien is therefore the
first for the Tunisian flora, considered an intro-
duced ornamental locally escaped from culti-
vation. R. El Mokni

In the Euro+Med area considered native in
S Europe from Spain to the W Balkans; addi-
tionally given as a naturalized or casual alien
in adjacent areas from the Atlantic coast (Ire-
land, Norway, Portugal) eastwards to the Le-
vant (Marhold 2011a+). For N Africa, it was
reported from Morocco and Algeria as culti-
vated (doubtfully escaping) with no mention
for Tunisia (Marhold 2011a+; Le Floc’h &
al. 2010; Dobignard & Chatelain 2011a; APD
2018). In Tunisia it was first found in 2012 in
Quercus forests of Aïn Draham in the NW part
of the country, where it was re-collected during
the 12th OPTIMA Iter Mediterraneum in 2014
(Greuter & Domina 2015: 28, without status
information). For Tunisia, the species is con-
sidered here as an introduced ornamental plant
that has become locally established in suitable
habitats outside cultivation. R. El Mokni

Univ. Monastir, PAL). Spirodela polyrhiza
is a nearly cosmopolitan species, native to
Eurasia, Africa, North America, Australia and
possibly naturalized in Hawaii. This taxon was
until now known in many countries around
the Mediterranean area (Uotila 2009+), but
with no mention for Tunisia (Uotila 2009+;
Le Floc’h & al. 2010; Dobignard & Chatelain
2010; APD 2018), until a large population was
found in agricultural sewers in the surround-
ings of Tinja and Teskraya. The plants occupy
198 Raab-Straube & Raus: Euro+Med-Checklist Notulae, 9
an area of c.300 m2 within watercourses and
swamps and seem to be recently introduced,
possibly by birds. They may have been over-
looked or misidentified in the past.

fluent sewers, 14 May 2014, El Mokni (herb.
Univ. Monastir, PAL). – Wola arrhiza is na-
tive to Europe, N Africa (only to Morocco and
Algeria), and parts of Asia. It is present in other
parts of the world as a naturalized species and is
here reported for Tunisia, where it has not been
mentioned before (Uotila 2009+; Le Floc’h &
al. 2010; Dobignard & Chatelain 2010; APD
2018). Many populations were found in agri-
cultural sewers in the surroundings of Tinja and
Teskraya. The species forms very dense patches
in the watercourses, sloughs and marshes of the
area. It could have spread there from Algeria
during recent years and previously could have
been confused with species of Lemna.

– A perennial plant native to tropical and sub-
tropical Africa, naturalized in other parts of the
world including Western Australia (Howell &
al. 1958), but not reported from the Mediter-
ranean basin so far (Euro+Med 2006+). The
African Plant Database (APD 2018) accepts
the taxon as introduced for N Africa without
any precise area of occurrence. The present re-
port as a casual alien is therefore the first for
the Tunisian flora. Plants grown as ornamen-
tals produce clonal plantlets that readily root
to produce new plants and easily escape from
pots. R. El Mokni

ous plant communities under Pinus halepensis
Mill., 27 Mar 2014, El Mokni (herb. El Mo-
kni). – Dipcadi fulvum has not been men-
tioned before for the Tunisian vascular flora
(see, e.g., Le Floc’h & al. 2010; Dobignard &
Chatelain 2010; APD 2018). In N Africa, the
taxon is recorded in Algeria (Véla & Mostari
2013) and Morocco (APD 2018), whereas in
Europe it is reported as native to the Canaries
and Portugal (Webb & Berthelot 1842 1850;
APD 2018). The present report is therefore the
first for the native Tunisian flora and refers to
a population with several individuals, grow-
ing on loamy-sandy soils in degraded land in
calcareous mountains. The plants occur in an
area of c.6000m2 and seem actually not to be
threatened by human activities or interspecific
competition. Both D. fulvum and D. serotinum

Opuntia stricta, not previously reported from
Greece, is a medium-sized species of cactus (to
2 m tall), endemic to the subtropical and tropi-
cal coastal areas of SE North America (South
Carolina to E Texas), the Caribbean and Mexi-
co, and is introduced to South Africa and Aus-
tralia (Pinkava 2003: 133). Also in the Medi-
terranean basin, this xenophyte is reported to
be established in S France, Italy (incl. Sardinia
and Sicily), Morocco and Libya (Korotkova &
Raab-Straube 2017+). Although remnants of
former cultivation, the populations observed
on the N coast of the Aegean have obviously
been spreading for a longer period without hu-
man support and are therefore considered on
the verge of naturalization. The determination
of the material has been verified by Valerio
Lazzeri, botanist at the Museum of Natural His-
tory of the Mediterranean in Livorno, and con-
firmed by Urs Eggli (Sukkulenten-Sammlung
Zürich). Smaller than O. ficus-indica L. in all
parts, the species is distinguished chiefly by its
margins of stem segments appearing somewhat
undulate between the raised areoles (see draw-
ing in Pinkava 2003: 134, available at http://

(herb. Univ. Monastir). – A rhizomatous herb
native to tropical America including the Car-
ibbean and a very popular ornamental plant
throughout the tropical world (GISD 2015). In
the Mediterranean area, the taxon is reported so
far only as an alien with unknown status in the
Iberian peninsula, with no report for NAfrica
(Euro+Med 2006+; Dobignard & Chatelain
2013; APD 2018). It is here reported for the
first time outside cultivation for Tunisia and
N Africa. Many scattered small populations
have been observed since 2005 mainly in N Tu-
nisia, growing in thickets, crowding out other
plants and occupying more and more space.
Their spreading mainly by rhizomes makes the
plants dicult to remove. Therefore, according
to the definitions given by Pyšek & al. (2004),
the species can be considered as fully natural-
ized in Tunisia. R. El Mokni

(herb. Univ. Monastir). – A semi-evergreen
perennial climber native to E Asia (Gleason &
Cronquist 1963; Lee & al. 1990), which has
become naturalized in other parts of the world,
e.g. across the S United States from California
to New England (Hickman 1993; Clapham &
al. 1962) and in Atlantic and Mediterranean
parts of Europe. For N African countries, how-
ever, it is reported only from Algeria as an alien
with unknown status (Raab-Straube 2017a+).
The African Plant Database (APD 2018) does
not report this taxon for N African countries at
all. The present report is therefore the first for
the Tunisian flora as a casual alien, i.e. a local
escape from horticultural introduction.

signed as naturalized in Morocco, Algeria and
Libya by APD (2018), with no data for Tunisia

except as an alien with unknown status in the
Canary Islands (Euro+Med 2006+; Dobignard

+ Al: Albania: “Albanien: Korabgebirge ob Radomir,
2200m (Andrasovszky)!” (Zahn 1922: 1033).
In Greuter (2006+), the F.Y.R. Makedonija is
listed as the only area where the type subspe-
cies of Hieracium andrasovszkyi occurs. From
the protologue, however, it is certain that the
gathering was made above the village of Ra-
domira in Albania.

The subspecies is also new to Serbia,
for which only Hieracium andrasovszkyi
subsp. cremnophilum O. Behr & al. and H.
andrasovszkyi subsp. kobilicanum O. Behr & al.
were known (Greuter 2006+). The origin of the
species was interpreted by Zahn (1922) as “H.
naegelianum pilosum”. It belongs to a group of
plants described by Behr & al. (1937, 1939) that
have until recently been neglected. They have
been known only from a local mountainous area
of the present-day WF.Y.R. Makedonija (near
the Albanian border), and so far their chorology
and taxonomy have not been considered. Six
taxa from this group will be dealt with in the
following notes as new taxa for Serbia (Kosovo,
Šar Planina). Š. Duraki & M. Niketić

This subspecies belongs to an endemic SE
European species previously known from Ro-
mania, F.Y.R. Makedonija and Greece. Ac-
cording to Zahn (1922), the species might have
arisen by hybridization between Hieracium
sparsum Friv. and H. schmidtii Tausch (“H.
pallidumsensu Zahn, non Biv.). We believe
that one of the progenitors of the subspecies H.
bohatschianum subsp. platytrigonodon could
be H. schmidtii subsp. balkanum (R. Uechtr. ex
Pančić) Niketić (see below).

During an excursion on Mt Korab in 2016,
unusual specimens resembling Hieracium pre-
nanthoides Vill. were found. Further survey of
the herbarium material showed that the plant (H.
crocatum) was derived from natural hybridiza-
tion between H. prenanthoides and H. umbel-
latum L. Earlier exsiccates of the same species
from Šar Planina in Serbia and F.Y.R. Makedo-
nija were also found and are mentioned here. So
far, the plant has been known from the Balkans
only from Bosnia, as H. crocatum subsp. valde-
frondosum K. Malý & Zahn. Our specimens
201Willdenowia 48 – 2018
are morphologically dierent from those from
Bosnia, e.g. they have a much smaller number
of stem leaves. Their infraspecific status has re-
mained unresolved and therefore has not been
specified here. Š. Duraki & M. Niketić

ed also from Šar Planina in Serbia (Kosovo). It
is a relatively common Hieracium in Šar Plani-

In the Balkan peninsula, the type subspe-
cies was previously known from Bosnia and
Montenegro (Zahn 1939), although the record
from Montenegro (Mt Durmitor) was omitted
in Greuter (2006+). We confirmed its presence
on Mt Durmitor at several localities. The same
plant has also recently been found in F.Y.R.
Makedonija, at Šar Planina and Suva Gora
(Teofilovski 2014, as Hieracium jurassicum).
Until now, only the stenoendemic subspecies
H. jurassicum subsp. papyraceum (Zahn) Greu-
ter was known in the flora of Serbia, although
a possible presence of the type subspecies was
indicated by Zahn (Zahn 1939, as “H. juranum

Hieracium oroglaucum subsp. oroglaucum

(Behr & al. 1937, 1939). During our field re-
search we found it in a much wider area of the
C Balkans (Fig. 3). The origin of this poly-
morphic species was interpreted by Behr & al.
(1937) as “H. naegelianum > pseudobifidum
(transylvanicum-bifidum)”.

dierently paginated oprint from this journal
(with Hieracium balkanum on p. 46).
Disagreement between the original and cur-
rent classifications was mentioned by Niketić
(2014). The combination Hieracium djimilense
subsp. balkanum (Zahn 1922) was most prob-
ably based on material of H. djimilense misiden-
tified as H. balkanum from the same localities as
in the protologue of H. balkanum. This material
was gathered and identified by “Pelivanović” and
it seems that Zahn did not see the original ma-
terial of Pančić. Our inspection of that material
(designated here as the lectotype) together with
our field investigations indisputably confirm the
relation with H. schmidtii Tausch, and indeed
Pančić (1883) had already stressed that connec-
tion: “Proximum H.Schmidtii Tausch…”.

J. Guicciardi, De Heldreich Flora Graeca Exsiccata No.
2982 (WU [No. 081444]).
Boissier (1872 1873: 796) initially did not validly
publish the name Sempervivum reginae-amaliae because
he merely cited it in synonymy (Turland & al. 2018: Art.
36.1(b)). However, validation of that name was eected
by Boissier himself 15 years later when he, by mentioning
diagnostic characters based on the exsiccatum Guicciardi
2982” seen by him, discussed the possible conspecifity of
S. reginae-amaliae Heldr. & Sartori ex Boiss. and S. tec-
torum L. (Boissier 1888: 248). However, Boissier’s name
was antedated by the heterotypic S. reginae-amaliae Baker
(Baker 1877), which denotes a taxon in S. sect. Jovibarba
DC. considered conspecific with S. heuelii Schott (Hart
& al. 2003: 342). As a consequence, the independent at-
tempt by Halácsy (1901: 580) to validate the name S. regi-
nae-amaliae for a species in S. sect. Sempervivum resulted
in a later isonym with no nomenclatural status (Turland &
al. 2018: Art. 6 Note 2). Maire & Petitmengin (1908: 234,
under S. tectorum) were the first to validly publish a legiti-
mate replacement name for S. reginae-amaliae Boiss. at
subspecific rank (Turland & al. 2018: Art. 58.1). After 91
years, Zonneveld (1999: 92) transferred that subspecies to
S. marmoreum Griseb., which replaces S. tectorum L. in
Greece (Greuter & al. 1986: 31; Parnell & Favarger 1992:
428; Hart 2002: 313). Zonneveld (l.c.) published Semper-
vivum marmoreum subsp. reginae-amaliae (Heldreich &
Sartori ex Boissier 1872) Zonneveld”, providing a full and
direct reference to Boissier (1872 1873), but not to the ba-
sionym, i.e. Maire & Petitmengin (1908), and citing three
heterotypic synonyms with full references. According to
Turland & al. (2018: Art. 41.8(c)), this is to be treated as a
correctable error for the new combination S. marmoreum
subsp. reginae-amaliae (Maire & Petitm.) Zonn.
The combination “Sempervivum marmoreum subsp.
reginae-amaliae (Heldr. & Sartori ex Baker) Zonn.”, as
currently (4 Jul 2018) recorded in the International Plant
Names Index (IPNI 2012+), represents a synonym of S.
heuelii Schott ( Jovibarba heuelii (Schott) Á. Löve
& D. Löve; = S. reginae-amaliae Baker, non Boiss. nec
Halácsy). This IPNI record is in fact erroneous in that it
invokes Art. 41.8(c) of Turland & al. (2018), as described
above, but treats the basionym as being S. reginae- amaliae
Baker (1877), which is recorded in IPNI, rather than S.
reginae-amaliae Boiss. (1888), which is not recorded in
IPNI (only the earlier, not validly published designation
of Boissier [1872 1873] is recorded there). This clearly
contradicts the original intention of Zonneveld (1999: 87;
Hart & al. 2003: 344), who definitely published a combi-
nation in Sempervivum L. s. str. (based on the illegitimate
S. reginae-amaliae Boiss.) rather than in Jovibarba (DC.)
Opiz (based on S. reginae-amaliae Baker). Baker simply
obtained from an English private garden a living plant of
S. heuelii, in line with the times wrongly labelled “Sem-
pervivum reginae-amaliae Heldr. et Sart.”, and referred to
it under that name in a leading gardeners’ newspaper to-
gether with an elaborate description, thus validly publish-
ing the name S. reginae-amaliae as a mere synonym, from
the present-day point of view, of S. (Jovibarba) heuelii
(Niederle 2015). Baker’s herbarium and types are depos-
ited in K and WELT (Stafleu & Cowan 1976: 104). How-
205Willdenowia 48 – 2018
ever, Nikolić & al. (2014: 220) could not locate any her-
barium material to serve as the nomenclatural type of S.
reginae-amaliae Baker ( Diopogon heuelii var. regi-
nae-amaliae (Baker) H. Jacobsen”, nom. inval. [Jacobsen
1970: 153, place of publication of basionym not cited]
Jovibarba heuelii var. reginae-amaliae (Baker) Müssel
[Müssel 1977: 18]). From his protologue it seems that
Baker merely based his description on a living plant that
was seen by him “on a recent visit to Mr. Barr’s”, who
“had it in considerably quantity in a full state of develop-
ment”, yet without substantiating the taxon with herbar-
ium vouchers. Therefore, the illustration in Rümpler &
Schumann (1892: 63, fig. 35, S. reginae-amaliae Heldr.
& Sart.), the sole appropriate element from the account of
S. heuelii in Praeger (1932: 93), is selected here as the
neotype of S. reginae-amaliae Baker. The drawing clear-
ly exhibits the connivent petals of the few-petalled flow-
ers characteristic of a member of S. sect. Jovibarba and is
captioned “in Griechenland heimisch” [native to Greece]
and “mit glockigen, an der Spitze gefranst-zerrissenen,
dreispitzigen, gelblich-weißen Kronenblättern“ [with
cam panulate, apically lacerate-fringed, tricuspidate,
yellowish-white petals]. This is concordant with Baker’s
protologue (Baker 1877) and a later description by the
same author (Baker 1879: 428).
The replacement name in Sempervivum sect. Semper-
vivum, proposed here in allusion to Baker’s usurpation of
Guicciardi’s royal dedicatee for the illegitimate S. reginae-
amaliae Boiss. and its isonym S. reginae-amaliae Halácsy,
is needed for taxonomists and Sempervivum breeders who,
as advocated by Gowler & Tebbitt (2011), consistently ap-
ply specific rank to S. marmoreum subsp. ballsii (Wale)
Zonn. ( S. ballsii Wale; see Greuter & al. 1986: 30),

csy” S. verereginae-amaliae) alongside S. balcanicum
Stoj. (Parnell & Favarger 1992: 427), S. kosaninii Praeger
(Jalas & al. 1999: 60), S. leucanthum Pančić (Parnell &

cum Praeger (Greuter & al. 1986: 30; Parnell & Favarger

ity of S. verereginae-amaliae and S. erythraeum, claimed
in Marhold (2011c+), was refuted by Letz (2009: 294),
who qualified the latter as taxonomically dierent and en-
demic to Bulgaria, hence absent from Greece, following

taxon is considered native to Scandinavia and
Russia and is most commonly grown in N tem-
perate regions. It is thought to have originated as
a garden hybrid of Brassica oleracea var. capi-
tata L. and B. rapa L. var. rapa and has been
cultivated since the Middle Ages. In the Medi-
terranean area, the taxon is solely given for Eu-
ropean Turkey and Anatolia as cultivated, but is
not mentioned for N Africa (Marhold 2011b+).
However, Dobignard & Chatelain (2011b) as-
signed it as “alien/adventitious” for Algeria,
Libya, Morocco and also Tunisia. For Tunisia it
has not yet been given as naturalized, neither by
Pottier-Alapétite (1979), who reported it as “oc-
casionally subspontaneous”, nor by Le Floc’h &
al. (2010), who gave the status “alien/adventi-
tious”. The actual status of B. napus in Tunisia
is defined here. Many populations have been
observed since 2005, and they have been occu-
pying more and more space at least since 2006.
Therefore, according to the definitions given by
Pyšek & al. (2004), the species can be consid-
ered as naturalized in Tunisia. R. El Mokni

the herb layer of forests from the Canary Islands
throughout Europe eastwards to the Urals and
N Iran, locally extending to N Africa, where it
is so far reported only from Algeria (Hultén &
Fries 1986: map 1280; Jeerson 2008). In view
of the lack of previous records for the Tunisian
flora (Euro+Med 2006+; Le Floc’h & al. 2010;
Dobignard & Chatelain 2011b; APD 2018),
these are the first records for the country, where
Mercurialis perennis seems to have been over-
looked or confused with the sympatric M. annua
L. Both species are dioecious and may show a
similar habit, but M. perennis has a branch-
ing rhizome system. The Tunisian records come
206 Raab-Straube & Raus: Euro+Med-Checklist Notulae, 9
from nitrophilous vegetation of abandoned
fields, hence M. perennis is considered doubt-
fully native in Tunisia. R. El Mokni

seems to have been introduced by human activi-
ties and then escaped from cultivation. A vigor-
ously trailing, twining herbaceous plant, domes-

Neuradaceae
Neurada al-eisawii Barsotti & al. ( N. procumbens var.
al-eisawii (Barsotti & al.) Turki)
− Eg: Turki (2007) reported the finding of Neurada
al-eisawii in Egypt and reduced it to the rank
of variety under N. procumbens L. He sup-
ported this new taxonomic treatment on the
basis of morphological features that were not
taken into account in the original description
of N. al-eisawii as a new species (Barsotti & al.
2000). Actually, the latter taxon diers from N.
procumbens mainly in the morphology of the
well-developed fruits, whereas the fruit illus-
trations provided by Turki reveal that what he
thought to be N. al-eisawii was in fact attrib-
utable to the variability of N. procumbens var.
procumbens. We therefore consider the find-
ing of N. al-eisawii in Egypt to be erroneous
and to be rejected. At the same time, we reaf-
firm the suitability of specific rank for N. al-
eisawii on the basis of the notable dierences
in fruit morphology from N. procumbens that
were observed at the time of its first finding.
Consequently, N. al-eisawii is here regarded
as an exclusive endemic to the area of the His-
ma Basin in S Jordan.

tal plant native to tropical America and culti-
vated worldwide for the beauty of its flowers,
which can be white, red, pink, purple, yellow
or multicolored; it is naturalized from cultiva-
tion (Grierson & Long 1984). For N Africa,
the species is listed by Uotila (2011+) only
in Libya as a casual alien; however, it was as-
signed as cultivated (APD 2018) or cultivated/
subspontaneous for Algeria, Libya, Morocco
and also Tunisia (Dobignard & Chatelain

given as naturalized, and the actual status is
defined here. Many populations have been ob-
served since 2008, and they have been occupy-
ing more and more space mainly in C Tunisia;
therefore, according to the definitions given by

New for Portugal and the Iberian peninsula.
This plant, described from Sicily without con-
crete locality (Gussone 1828: 184; see also Gus-
sone 1844: 136) and lectotypified by Domina
& Mazzola (2009: 179), is a typical element of
Mediterranean coastal dunes. Almost all previ-
ously mentioned host plants are Asteraceae, and
there is one record of Eryngium mari timum L.
as a host (Domina & Arrigoni 2007: 122). The
plants from the type gathering were parasitiz-
ing Anthemis maritima L. (Domina & Mazzola
2009: 179) and this is also the main host in the
C Mediterranean. The parasitism of O. litorea
on Plantaginaceae is new to science. Except
for Sardinia and Sicily, the plant has very rarely
been collected in other regions and countries. It
has been recorded from France, Italy and Tu-
nisia (France: Bouches-du-Rhône: Marseille;
Var: Hyères, Île de Porquerolles; Alpes Mari-
times: Cannes, Île Sainte Marguerite; Jordan

77; Thorogood 2016: 462; Tunisia: El Mokni
& al. 2015a: 6.). Other reports require confir-
mation (often published under dierent names;
Bertoloni 1845 1847; Caruel 1860; Pellegrini
1942; Fossi Innamorati 1989; Foggi & al.
2001; all quoted in D’Antraccoli & al. 2016:
77); likewise generally all reports from the E
Mediterranean require confirmation, i.e. Crete
(see the note in El Mokni & al. 2015a: 8) and
other regions in Greece and Turkey (Greuter &
al. 1989: 257, as O. fuliginosa in a wide sense).
We cannot assign all the reports of O. fuliginosa
in Dimopoulos & al. (2013: 118) to O. litorea;
because the latter is a strictly coastal species,
the reports of O. fuliginosa from inland locali-
ties presumably belong to a dierent taxon.
Orobanche litorea has been photographi-
cally documented by C. Thorogood from
the Algarve, but without a correct specific
determination (https://www.flickr.com/photos/
23743086@N02/2403237438, as O. amethy-
stea on Hieracium sp.; Thorogood 2014, as
Orobanche sp. parasitizing Plantago corono-
pus” with note: “populations of a fourth cryp-
tic taxon occur locally on dunes and coastal
shales on the western sea belt of the Algarve
which are parasitic on Plantago coronopus.
This taxon […] appears to be closely related to
O. amethystaea […] and also O. litorea”). The
reports in Foley (2001: 59, Cabo de São Vicen-
te, as O. maritima Pugsley) and Greuter & al.
(1989: 261, “Lu, Hs”, as O. maritima) possibly
also belong here.
Orobanche litorea is evidently poorly
known and has often been misidentified or er-
roneously put in synonymy. Beck von Manna-
getta (1930: 181) included it in O. canescens
C. Presl, a species morphologically related to
O. pubescens d’Urv., which has a dierent habit
and, among other features, long glandular hairs
on the outer side of the corolla (see also Domina
& Štepánek 2009). In Pignatti (1982: 612) and
Greuter & al. (1989: 261), O. litorea is treated
as a synonym of O. minor Sm., which has short-
er flowers and usually a lax inflorescence, but
shares with O. litorea the character of always
very short glandular hairs on the outer side of
the corolla. There is also little resemblance
of O. litorea with species like O. amethystea
Thuill. and O. chironii Lojac., with which it is
often synonymized or confused.
Orobanche litorea is not conspecific with O.
maritima Pugsley, described 1940 from England
(Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Kent) and the Chan-
nel Islands (Guernsey and Jersey) and parasit-
izing Daucus L. (holotype: BM000582370).
Orobanche maritima lives in dunes as well, with
Plantago coronopus s.l. reported as one of the
host plants (Pugsley 1940: 110; Stace 2010:
663). Those plants have a habit similar to O. mi-
nor, with a lax inflorescence and shorter flowers.

dierent habit (Péteaux & Saint-Lager 1890:
221. with drawings) and is not conspecific
with O. litorea. The location of O. angelicifixa
far inland and anthropogenic – and Gagne pain’s
successful cultivation experiments (e.g. on Tri-
folium L.; Gagnepain 1945: 258; Gagnepain
1949: 182) strongly suggest a close relationship
with O. minor.
On the other hand, especially with regard to
the corolla shape, the flower size and the fre-
quent development of strong stigma lobes, there
are clear anities to the members of Orobanche
subsect. Speciosae (Lojac.) Novopokr., O. cre-
nata Forssk. and O. owerini (Beck) Beck. How-
ever, O. litorea is also distinguished from those
species by the typically compact inflorescence
(the drawing in Thorogood [2016: 462] is not
typical for the species).
Plants from the Algarve (Fig. 6A, B)
match very well with historical collections
(e.g. the lectotype of O. litorea: PAL43213;

the region of Kayseri in C Anatolia match O.
reticulata subsp. agigensis, recently described
from the Thač massif in the Russian W Greater
Caucasus (Rätzel & Uhlich 2016). This taxon
can be determined in the field especially by the
obligate yellow stigmas. It is probably a plant
of higher altitudinal ranges in SW Asia that has
its own area separate from O. reticulata subsp.

notated with “a.” and “II.”]).
Phelipanche gussoneana, including Pheli-
panche schultzioides described from Pelopon-
nisos, Greece (Foley 2008), has probably been
overlooked in the C and E Mediterranean, and
was recently also found on the Crimean pe-
ninsula (Rätzel & al. 2017a, 2017b). Pheli-

panche schultzioides, including its type, and
specimens from Sicily identified as Pheli-
panche oxyloba (Reut.) Soják (Domina & al.
2011) match Phelypaea gussoneana, includ-
ing its type. For reasons of nomenclatural
priority, the present new combination is nec-
essary when Phelipanche schultzioides and
Phelypaea gussoneana are regarded as con-
specific. This taxon is typically taller than the
morphologically similar Phelipanche mutelii
(F. W. Schultz) Pomel and has a dierent ap-
pearence, with bracts sticking out from the
inflorescence in bud, and dark bluish veins on
the corolla.

Phelipanche kelleri, described from Ka-
zakh stan (Novopokrovskij 1950: 319, holo-
type: LE00050173), is a rarely collected and
illustrated species. It was previously known
from Armenia (Tzvelev & Cherepanov 728
& 818, LE; Yegorova & al. 2101, LE; Zatu-
ryan & Grigoryan 1987: 375; Terekhin & al.
1993: 115), Azerbaijan (Karyagin & Safiew,
LE; Yegorova & al. 483, LE; Tzvelev 1957:
568; Terekhin & al. 1993: 115), Russia (Tzve-
lev 1981: 328), Kazakhstan (Novopokrovskij
1950: 319; Orazova 1965: 156; Terekhin &
Filimonova 1993: 52) and W China (Zhang
1988: 398; Zhang 1990: 105; Zhang & Tzvelev
1998: 233; Tzvelev 2006: 17). Reports from
Ukraine (e.g. Tzvelev 1981: 328) and Kurdi-
stan territories (e.g. Novopokrovskij & Tzvelev
1958: 57; Kabulov 1978: 15) require confirma-
tion. Here the species is reported for the first
time from Georgia and Turkey. It is morpho-
logically well characterized by the strongly
keeled corolla and its often bulged edges, the
completely glabrous inner surface of the corol-
la and its whitish (especially in the lower half)
to bright violet-blue colour.
Parasitism on Chenopodiaceae is unusual
in the genus Phelipanche. Only the W Mediter-
ranean P. camphorosmae Carlón & al. is known
to parasitize Camphorosma monspeliaca L. So
far, only Bassia prostrata has been mentioned
as a host plant for P. kelleri (Tzvelev 2015).
The presumed host (root attachment not veri-
fied) for the plant from Georgia (Sarkinetis
Kedi) is also B. prostrata. Though bearing nei-
ther flowers nor fruits, the latter could be iden-
tified by its unmistakable leaf anatomy (Freitag
& Kadereit 2014: fig. 3F).

(Boissier 1879: 498, as Phelypaea lavandula-
cea (Rchb.) Reut.; Stewart 1972: 673; Athar
& al. 2007: 348). Further records from Syria,
Israel, Palestinian territories, Egypt, Jordan,
Oman and China require confirmation.
The almost verified hosts for this spe-
cies are Rosaceae, especially shrubby spe-
cies of Prunus sect. Amygdalus (L.) Benth. &
Hook.f., e.g. P. bucharica B. Fedtsch. (Yunu-
sov 1986: 448), P. fenzliana Fritsch (Tzve lev
1957: 572; Novopokrovskij & Tzvelev 1958:
65) and P. spinosissima Franch. (Yunusov

212 Raab-Straube & Raus: Euro+Med-Checklist Notulae, 9
1986: 448). Meikle (1985: 1237) gave as host
for the plants from Cyprus Prunus dulcis,
Medicago spec., Astragalus lusitanicus, etc.”
Phelipanche orientalis can also be very abun-
dant in plantations of Prunus armeniaca L.
(apricot), e.g. in Turkey, prov. Malatya, 2013,
Aksoy & Pekcan, as Phelipanche aegyptiaca
(Pers.) Pomel (photo [Aksoy & Pekcan 2014:
31]). The species probably occurs also on
other members of Prunus sect. Amyg dalus,
but has been misidentified (Schiman-Czeika
1964: 1.; Musselmann 1980: 463.; Riches
& Parker 1995: 226.; Saeidi Mehrvarz & al.
2010: 113; Sánchez Pedraja & al. 2016+).
Phelipanche orientalis is characterized by
its slender growth, erect branches (if present),
slender tubular and erecto-patent corolla, and
long and acute corolla lobes, often with few
coarse teeth. Beck von Mannagetta (1890:
110) referred to the more or less high con-
nection of the bracteoles with the calyx tube.
This feature is characteristic, but is not con-
tinuous within a population or even on the
same plant and is not therefore fully suitable
for dierentiation from other species. Pheli-
panche orientalis diers from the taller and
mostly unbranched P. schultzii (Mutel) Pomel
by the much shorter calyx lobes. In contrast
to P. mutelii (F. W. Schultz) Pomel [includ-
ing var. nana (Reut.) Uhlich & Rätzel and
var. oxyloba (Reut.) Rätzel & Uhlich] and
P. ramosa (L.) Pomel, the bracts are not ap-
pressed to the buds, but are fairly developed
and spreading (see Rätzel & al. 2017b). This
character is similar in P. gussoneana (Lojac.)
Domina & al. (= P. schultzioides M. J. Y. Fo-
ley, see notula above); both species have a
distinct tuft-like appearance of the top of the
spike. Phelipanche orientalis is very variable
in size, but normally significantly larger than
P. mutelii s.l.
Phelipanche orientalis may be conspecific
with Phelipanche libanotica (Boiss.) Soják,
described from Ainhata and Bscherre, Lebanon
as Phelypaea libanotica Boiss. (Boissier 1888:
357). The structure of the flower and the habit
of the two taxa are similar. Phelipanche liba-
notica was also indicated from Mt Makmel,
Lebanon, and from near Alexandria, Egypt
(Beck von Mannagetta 1930: 92, as Orobanche
schultzii var. alexandrina Beck). The material
of those last two records was most probably

destroyed in B in 1943, and no other original
material is known. The holotype of Phelypaea
libanotica (Schweinfurth 453, G00150062)
is rather scanty, consisting of three separate
flowers and drawings of habit and flowers, and
the host is not known either. Two other sheets
determined by Sánchez Pedraja & al. (2016+)
as Phelipanche libanotica probably also be-
long to Phelipanche orientalis: “In Libani

Mokni (herb. Univ. Monastir). – A naturalized
alien, originating from the Irano-Turanian re-
gion, new to the flora of Tunisia. For N Africa,
it was previously reported as native from Mo-
rocco, Algeria and Libya with no mention for
Tunisia (Uotila 2017+; Le Floc’h & al. 2010;
Dobignard & Chatelain 2013; APD 2018).
A large population was detected in Tunisia
growing in cultivated fields, while other plants
were observed in meadows along the Béja riv-
er. The species seems to have been previously
confused in Tunisia with P. patulum M. Bieb.
due to a similar habit. Its almost leafless floral
branches are conspicuously dierent from the
leafy branches in P. patulum. R. El Mokni

tive to Mexico and the Great Plains region of
the United States (Whalen 1979) and is now
widely naturalized and invasive in tropical and

been reported so far only as a casual alien in

... Most of the expanding species are ornamentals, originally deliberately introduced by humans (Le Floc'h et al. 1990, Vilà et al. 1999. During the past two decades and even more recently, the knowledge on the non-native flora of Tunisia and North Africa significantly increased (see e.g., El Mokni & Domina 2018, El Mokni & Verloove 2017, El Mokni & Iamonico 2018a, 2018b, 2019, El Mokni 2018, 2019, Sukhorukov et al. 2016, 2019, Sakhraoui et al. 2016, Chelghoum et al. 2020). Information about alien plants within Martyniaceae family in North Africa is mostly recent and still scarce (see Dobignard & Chatelain 2012, El Mokni et al. 2012, Belkassam et al. 2020, Rebbas, 2020. ...

Proboscidea louisianica (Miller) Thell. (Martyniaceae) is newly reported for the flora of Tunisia and North Africa as a naturalised alien. Extensive field investigations in northern Tunisia allowed the discovery of three populations of P. louisianica (Miller) Thell. consisting of 18 individuals found at the edges of "Oued Béja" and at roadside within an irrigated land in Nabeul region, where plant specimens were in flowers and fruits. Moreover, further sites were recorded for another member of the family Martyniaceae (Ibicella lutea (Lindl.) Van Eselt.), already reported and known in Tunisia and Algeria within North Africa. Additional information for both species on their current distribution areas and their habits are provided. Details of their morphological and distinguishing features are illustrated.
... In continuity to ongoing botanical researches aiming at improving the knowledge on the Tunisian vascular flora (see e.g., El Mokni et al. 2015a, 2015b, 2015c, El Mokni & Peruzzi 2019, Iamonico & El Mokni 2018, El Mokni 2020, El Mokni et al. 2020) and mainly on Monocots s.lat.

The paper proposes eight new nomenclatural combinations and indicates two new synonyms. There are 11 taxa (species and subspecies) of the vascular flora that are new for the flora of Serbia (of which nine are autochthonous and two allochthonous plants). Two autochthonous species were confirmed for the flora of Serbia. Six plant taxa are a novelty for proper Serbia, Vojvodina, or Kosovo and Metohija. There are eight taxa whose presence in Serbia or in its territorial units has been refuted.

The paper propose nine new nomenclature combinations and indicate eight new synonyms. There are 12 taxa (species and subspecies) of vascular flora which are new for the flora of Serbia (of which nine are autochthonous and three allochtonous plants). An old or unreliable literature records for three autochthonous and one allochthonous plant in the flora of Serbia has been confirmed. Eight plant taxa are a novelty for proper Serbia, Vojvodina, or Kosovo and Metohija, and for three plants, presence in certain administrative units in Serbia has been proved. The last part of the paper contains information on eight taxa whose presence in Serbia or in its territorial units has been refuted.

Recent fieldwork in Tunisia yielded several new records of non-native species of the genus Agave. Agave angustifolia var. marginata, A. fourcroydes and A. sisalana are locally naturalised and reported for the first time from the country. To our knowledge, naturalised populations of these three taxa were also unknown elsewhere in the Maghreb and North Africa. We also draw attention to A. attenuata subsp. attenuata, a widely grown ornamental that is expected to become naturalised in the near future. Updated nomenclature, brief descriptions, as well as general and national distributions are provided for each of the naturalised Agaves. A key to all the species, subspecies, and varieties of Agave that occur in Tunisia is presented , and all the taxa are illustrated.
