(Geraniaceae). Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 56(2): 211-252 (en inglés). Se presenta una "checklist" del género Geranium L. (Geraniaceae) en la que se aceptan 423 especies, repartidas en 3 subgéneros y 18 secciones. Seguimos la clasificación propuesta por Yeo, aunque reconocemos la sección Brasiliensia en el subg. Erodioidea, y las secciones Neurophyllodes, Paramensia y Azorelloida en el subg. Geranium. La sect. Azorelloida es propuesta como nombre nuevo para la sect. Petraea R. Knuth, nom. illeg. Asimismo se propone G. collae como nombre nuevo para G. intermedium Colla, nom. illeg. Se incluye una clave para la identificación de los subgéneros y secciones. Después de revisar la práctica totalidad de los nombres publicados en Geranium se da el nombre correcto, el lugar de publicación y el área de distribución de cada especie aceptada, así como las referencias bibliográficas más importantes para cada una de ellas. Para codificar las distribuciones geográficas, en los niveles de "región" y "país botánico", se han seguido las propuestas del International Working Group on Taxonomic Databases (TDWG).

The tour is being organised by one of our members, Alf Reina, who grew up in Sicily. It will be led by him and his cousin Alfie Orlando, who was born in Australia but now lives in Sicily, and has been conducting tours for over 25 years. Highlights of the tour include amazing archaeology in Agrigento, Selinunte and Segesta, and fantastic architecture and unique art including the floor mosaics in the Roman Villa del Casale and the gold-leaf mosaics in Monreale Cathedral and the Palatine Chapel. The tour will visit beautiful and interesting private and public gardens and travel through picturesque countryside offering marvellous views of the mountains and the coastline. We expect that there will be a profusion of wildflowers at this perfect time of the year. We will also visit nature reserves and the largest beech forest in Europe as well as the stunning Flower Festival in Noto (Infiorata) where the streets are decorated with flowers representing a diffferent theme each year.
