This paper reports floristic records of plant species to be considered as new for the whole Apennines, the central Apennines and for some administrative Regions of Italy. The records are the result of several floristic inventories and phytosociological samplings carried out during the last twenty-five years in the Apennines, especially in the Lazio Region, and with particular reference to the Laga Mountains. Other field collections were performed in the Mainarde Mountains, Liri-Garigliano Plain, Aurunci Mountains, Sibillini Mountains, and Pollino massif. Special emphasis was given to the genera Alchemilla and Hieracium. The new floristic records presented in this paper can be summarized as follows: 6 species are new for the whole Apennines and 3 for the central Apennines. At regional level 17 species are new for Lazio, 3 species new for Abruzzo and 1 species new for Marche, Campania and Basilicata respectively. Finally, 14 additional species are hereby confirmed for the single administrative Regions

Species composition and abundance, together with structural and abiotic parameters were recorded in 33 releves distributed throughout the Laga massif. A new association of Quercus cerris woodlands, named Listero ovatae-Quercetum cerridis, is here proposed. The ecology and syn-chorology of this association are outlined. In syntaxonomical terms Listero-Quercetum cerridis behaves as an intermediate between Fagetalia sylvaticae and Quercetalia pubescenti-petraeae, being the dominant layer closer to Quercetalia communities and the herb layer to Fagetalia. For comparison a survey is provided of the most important Quercus cerris community types described throughout the whole Apennine chain using all published releves (synoptic table).

Carex vulpina, Lolium apenninum, Onosma echioides subsp. angustifolia, Typha domingensis, T. laxmannii and Vicia pannonica subsp. pannonica are new for the Lazio administrative Region, while Ophrys illyrica and Zannichellia peltata are confirmed for the flora of this Region. For each of these taxa phytosociological samples describing the plant communities in which they were found are provided. New records for rare species were also reported for cryptogams such as Algae, Lichens and Mosses.

This territory is geographically located between the Sibillini Mountains and the Gran Sasso massif; it presents geomorphological and microclimatic peculiarities. The lithological characteristics of the soils (Miocenic marl and sandstone prevalently), the altitudinal range (900-2458 m) and the abundance of superficial not permeable strata favours environmental diversity.
The investigated area is comprised between 1200 m and the crest line. Consequently the species mostly related to human activities are excluded from the following list.
The research has been carried out in strict collaboration. The data obtained through a naturalistic survey have been used for the compilation of the check-list (G. Tondi) and organised in a user-friendly informatic data-base (P. Plini).
The flora of the latial side of the Laga Mountains includes 955 species grouped in 424 genera and 97 families. The ecological complexity is very high. The check-list includes 27 new species; 47 other species are present in Latium only on Laga Mountains. The total amount -74 species- corresponds to the 7.7 % of the total floristic list.
The analysis of both biological and corological spectra clearly shows mountainous and continental features with a mediterranean-temperate influence of the flora. Eurasiatic and nordic groups prevail over the others and constitute more then half of the flora. Eastern features s.l. are rather consistent.
The database consists of a master file used for data entries and queries for obtaining data about synonims, ecological features, distribution, subspecies and information about the exsiccata. The master file is a reservoir of data to which changes and variations are added.
For the printout of this work two files were generated: a systematic file where species and related information are ordered according to the “Flora d‘Italia”; an alphabetical file including the list of species, synonims and italian names and where synonims and italian names refer to the name of the species. In this work we adopted, sperimentally, the code system used by the Nordic Code Centre for the compilation of NCC biological species thesaurus, managed by the Documentation Center of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm for coding plants and animals of Scandinavia.
