La flora vascolare della Penisola del Sinis (Sardegna Occidentale). Viene presentato lo studio della flora vascolare della Penisola del Sinis; in totale sono state rinvenute 760 unità tassonomiche e in particolare 615 specie, 134 sottospecie, 10 varietà e 1 ibrido, riferibili a 365 generi e 87 famiglie. Le Eudicots sono risultate il gruppo sistematico dominante. Le famiglie più rappresentate sono: Poaceae (99 unità tassonomiche), Fabaceae e Asteraceae (85), Caryophyllaceae (33), Apiaceae (27) e Orchidaceae (24). I generi con maggior numero di taxa sono: Trifolium (19), Silene (14), Limonium e Medicago (13), Ophrys (12), Euphorbia e Vicia (10), Plantago (9), Allium (8) e infine Lotus, Ranunculus e Vulpia (7). Il contingente delle endemiche (54 unità tassonomiche) è risultato pari al 8,97% della componente mediterranea e mostra una dominanza degli elementi sardo-corsi (33,33%) e secondariamente sardi (24,10%), i quali unitamente raggiungono il 57,43% del totale. La flora endemica è costituita da 31 specie, 17 sottospecie e 6 varietà, inquadrati in 38 generi e 22 famiglie. Le famiglie più rappresentate sono risultate le Plumbaginaceae (10), Asteraceae e Lamiaceae (5), Fabaceae (4), Alliaceae, Euphorbiaceae e Ranunculaceae (3); il genere più ricco è risultato Limonium (10), seguito da Allium, Delphinium, Euphorbia, Scrophularia, Silene e Teucrium (2).

Available online at http://www.bioinfopublication.org/jouarchive.php?opt=&jouid=BPJ0000235 PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIP STUDIES ON THE GENUS Limonium MILL. PLUMBAGINACEAE FROM SAUDI ARABIA USING ITS SEQUENCES OF NUCLEAR RIBOSOMAL DNA AL-GHANEM S.M.S.* Department of biology, College of Science, Tabuk University, Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. *Corresponding Author: Email- [email protected] Received: July 20, 2015; Revised: September 29, 2015; Accepted: October 01, 2015 Abstract- In Saudi Arabia, the family Plumbaginaceae is represented by two species: Limonium and Plumbago. The genus Limonium is represented by four species (i.e. Limonium axillare, L. carnosum, L. cylindrifolium, and L. lobatum). Out of these L. carnosum is endemic to Saudi Arabia. A perusal of taxonomic literature on Limonium reveals that the molecular evolutionary relationships of the species of Limoni- um distributed in Saudi Arabia is lacking. Owing to enormous phylogenetic significance of internal transcribed spacer sequence (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA [-a gene which is now a day considered as better than its reputation, this study was undertaken with a aim to estab- lish evolutionary relationships of the genus Limonium distributed in Saudi Arabia based on nrDNA ITS nucleotide sequences. The combined length of the entire ITS region (ITS1, 5.8S and ITS2) from taxa sequenced in the present study ranged from 599-618 nucleo- tides. The length of the ITS1 region and GC contents ranged from 201-203 nucleotides and 45-50% respectively, the 5.8S gene was 161- 163 nucleotides long, the length of the ITS2 region and the GC content ranged from 233-253 nucleotides and 48-51% respectively.

  • Flora Del Ferrarese
    Da oltre un secolo non veniva pubblicato un catalogo della flora del Ferrarese. Risale infatti al 1909 L017046 ISTITUTO PER I BENI ARTISTICI, CULTURALI E NATURALI DELLA REGIONE EMILIA-ROMAGNA il Contributo alla flora vascolare della Provincia di Ferrara di Pietro Revedin. Da quel tempo ormai molto lontano molte cose sono avvenute e i cambiamenti hanno influito anche sulla flora che – sapendola leggere ed interpretare – è un fedele indicatore dello stato del territorio e delle sue modificazioni. La Flora del Ferrarese di Filippo Piccoli, Mauro Pellizzari e Alessandro Alessandrini (con la colla- borazione di Lisa Brancaleoni, Giampaolo Balboni e Nicola Merloni) è frutto di un progetto pluride- cennale ed è risultato di esplorazioni sistematiche e quanto più accurate possibile del territorio. Sono stati analizzati sia i lembi di maggiore e più noto valore naturalistico, come il Delta del Po (il Gran Bosco della Mesola, le zone umide salmastre, le dune costiere), le Dune di Massenzatica, la Foresta Panfilia, Campotto e Valle Santa. Ma sono stati esplorati anche luoghi meno importanti, in quanto più modificati, ma ricchi di specie diverse e per gran parte di origine esotica: le aree urbane, i canali, i campi, le aree industriali dismesse, le aree ferroviarie. Flora del Ferrarese Confluiscono qui anche i dati raccolti dai predecessori, a partire dai botanici ottocenteschi, esponenti della Scuola Botanica Ferrarese che tanto lustro ha dato alla città. Le loro opere a stampa, ma anche i campioni essiccati oggi conservati nell’Erbario ferrarese sono stati analizzati e archiviati. È stata così trovata testimonianza della presenza, storica e attuale, di oltre 1300 entità sistematiche di- Filippo Piccoli verse.

A total of 672 wetland plant species, subspecies, varieties, and forma from Moroccan wetlands are inventoried, corresponding to 91 botanical families. Cyperaceae and Poaceae have the most wetland plant taxa (20.4%), followed by Asteraceae and Fabaceae (13.9%). Of these wetland vascular plant taxa, 16.2% are endemic and 44.8% are on the IUCN Red List. The floristic regions of North Atlantic Morocco and Rif house around 69.6% and 68.5% of wetland vascular flora respectively. The eutrophic wet habitats favour the growth of 32.4% of the taxa inventoried. Three taxa are invasive among some 17 introduced ones. Keywords: Conservation, Distribution, Endemism, Red List, Wetland Flora. Introduction Wetlands are areas where drylands Madihi et al., 2007; Maman & Laurent, come into contact with water or are water- 2010). saturated and are characterized by the Part of the extraordinary presence of water-dependent plant and biodiversity of wetlands is constituted by animal species.
