Between 1999 and 2002 an up-to-date checklist of the Italian Vascular Flora was accomplished following a convention funded by the Dipartimento di Biologia Vegetale, University "La Sapienza" of Rome, and the Ministero dell'Ambiente e della Tutela del Territorio, Direzione Conservazione della Natura. The first paper edition of the checklist is currently in print and required a further update of data, which ended in 2004

Essiccare le piante per scopo di studio, confronto e scambio fra studiosi era divenuto una prassi dalla prima metàdel XVI secolo grazie all’opera di Luca Ghini, fondatore degli orti botanici di Pisa e Firenze. Fra i pochi erbari rinascimentali oggi conosciuti, quello di Ulisse Aldrovandi occupa un posto di primo piano per quantità e varietà dei campioni, giacché proprio in esso si trova una delle primissime testimonianze a livello continentale – se non la prima in assoluto – di molte specie d’uso corrente in Europa, introdotte dal Nuovo Mondo, così come di varie altre oggi protette perché assai rare o a rischio d’estinzione. Nel presente contributo s’illustrano alcune specie contenute in questo erbario, scegliendole fra le più notevoli per ragioni storiche, geografiche e scientifiche.

Nell\u2019ambito di una indagine sulla flora del Centro storico di Bologna (Emilia-Romagna, Italia settentrionale), sono state rinvenute, inaspettate, alcune specie di ambienti umidi, nonostante la presenza di acque superficiali sia diminuita negli ultimi decenni: Cyperus eragrostis, Euphorbia hirsuta, Eclipta prostrata, Polypogon viridis, Rorippa sylvestris, Stellaria aquatica. La presenza di queste igrofite \ue8 da mettere in relazione con ambienti irrigati (anche eccessivamente) in aiuole spartitraffico, rotonde e altri ambienti con elevati apporti idrici artificiali. Cinque su sei specie rinvenute sono termofile; due sono alloctone; alcune sono novit\ue0 per il Bolognese e due rivestono un notevole valore conservazionistico

The present paper aimed at studying the vertical and horizontal spatial distribution, species richness and diversity of vascular plants in different urban ecological niches (urban habitats) by means of the case study of Bologna (Italy), a typical densely populated southern European city. A total of 477 species were found in the study area of the historical city centre, 30% of which were alien species. Alien plant species were mainly present among phanerophytes, while native plants were mainly therophytes and hemicryptophytes. The habitats that mostly contributed to the species total richness were semi-natural soils, followed by paved areas, walls, rooftops and manholes. The number of exclusive species decreased according to the selectiveness of the habitat, with manholes and rooftops being the most selective. The presence of hemicryptophytes constant decreased going from 27% of more humid habitats to 5% of more arid habitats, so that they can be considered a water availability bioma...

Identifying areas susceptible to invasion by an alien species is a strategy of prevention. We used national herbaria and global databases to assess the invasion trends of the two aquatic invasive species Ludwigia hexapetala and Ludwigia peploidessubsp. montevidensis in Italy. We defined the invasion status with invasions curves and predicted potentially suitable areas with Species Distribution Models based on WorldClim variables and the human footprint index. Low seasonal variation in temperature and precipitation, temperature ≥ 20 °C in the warmest, driest and wettest periods of the year and precipitation in the coldest period are the bioclimatic factors that most account for the potential distribution of the two species. The human footprint has lower relative importance than bioclimatic variables. All Italian peninsula appears as a suitable bioclimatic environment for the invasion of the two Ludwigia species, except the Alps and the highest peaks in the Apennine. Based on the curr...

We analysed the invasion history of two North American macrophytes (Elodea canadensis and E. nuttallii) in Italy, through an accurate census of all available herbarium and field records, dating between 1850 and 2019, and a rich literature collection describing the initial introduction and naturalisation phase that supports the results obtained by the occurrence records. Elodea canadensis arrived in Italy before 1866 and had two invasion phases, between the 1890s and 1920s and between the 1990s and 2000s; E. nuttallii, probably arrived in the 1970s, started invading in 2000 and the invasion is still ongoing. Botanical gardens and fish farming played a crucial role in dispersal and naturalisation of both species. The current invasion range of both species is centred in northern Italy, with scattered occurrences of E. canadensis in central and southern regions. River Po represents a dispersal barrier to the Mediterranean region and a strategic monitoring site to prevent the invasion in...

Our understanding of the richness and uniqueness of the flora growing on gypsum substrates in Italy has grown significantly since the 19 century and, even today, new plant species are still being discovered. However, the plants and plant communities, growing on gypsum substrates in Italy, are still a relatively unknown subject. The main aim of this paper was to elaborate a checklist of the Italian gypsophilous flora, to increase knowledge about this peculiar flora and for which conservation efforts need to be addressed. Through a structured group communication process of experts (application of the Delphi technique), a remarkable number of experienced Italian botanists have joined together to select focal plant species linked to gypsum substrates. From the results obtained, 31 plant species behave as absolute or preferent taxa (gypsophytes and gypsoclines) and form the 'core' Italian gypsophilous flora. The most abundant life forms were chamaephytes and hemicryptophytes, bel...

The census of the loci classici of 1,227 native, non-endemic vascular plants described from Italy is here presented and described. The effective place of publication of accepted names, basionyms and homotypic synonyms were identified and critically verified. The geographic information on the loci classici was excerpted from the protologues, as well as information on typification for the taxa described before 1 January 1958. The names without a holotype are 1,165. For 591 names a lecto- or neo-typification is available in literature, while 572 currently accepted taxa still need a type designation. For ten of these names showing previous ineffective typification, nomenclatural types are designated here (Allium savii, A. tenuiflorum, Anemone millefoliata, Catapodium tuberculosum, Cynosurus siculus, Filago congesta, Saponaria bellidifolia, Sclerochloa patens, S. zwierleinii, and Vicia leucantha). A new combination (Trisetaria aurea comb. nov.) is proposed. The general picture of the cur...

La presentazione illustra l'importanza del lavoro di PA Mattioli, autore di numerose edizione della "Materia Medica" di Dioscoride.
Viene evidenziata l'importanza che l'uso di illustrazioni ha giocato per il consolidamento delle idee sull'identità delle specie trattate, non poche tra le quali sono da considerare del tutto nuove e individuate per la prima volta. La grande considerazione che Mattioli aveva conseguito, è dimostrata dal gran numero di edizioni, anche in ambiente non italiano. Tra queste viene rammentata quella curata da C. Bauhin, uno dei maggiori predecessori di C. Linnaeus.
Altri temi (con esempi): la denominazione italiane di alcune specie, l'utilità per comprendere la distribuzione problematica attuale soprattutto di specie un tempo oggetto di coltivazione.
