  • Design a Database of Italian Vascular Alimurgic Flora (Alimurgita): Preliminary Results

Hence the need to design a database of the Italian alimurgic flora: AlimurgITA. Only strictly alimurgic taxa were chosen, excluding casual alien and cultivated ones. The collected data come from an archive of 358 texts (books and scientific articles) from 1918 to date, chosen with appropriate criteria. For each taxon, the part of the plant used, the method of use, the chorotype, the biological form and the regional distribution in Italy were considered. The 1103 taxa of edible flora already entered in the database equal 13.09% of Italian flora. The most widespread family is that of the Asteraceae (20.22%); the most widely used taxa are Cichorium intybus and Borago officinalis. The not homogeneous regional distribution of WEPs (maximum in the south and minimum in the north) has been interpreted. Texts published reached its peak during the 2001–2010 decade. A database for Italian WEPs is important to have a synthesis and to represent the richness and Citation: Paura, B.; Di Marzio, P.; complexity of this knowledge, also in light of its potential for cultural enhancement, as well as its Salerno, G.; Brugiapaglia, E.; Bufano, applications for the agri-food system.

Methanol extracts obtained both from plantlets and wild plants were analyzed for their total phenolics and flavonoid contents, then quantified by HPLC. The highest total phenolic (8.83 mg/g as gallic acid equivalent) and total flavonoid (0.92 mg/mL as rutin equivalent) values were from the MS media supplemented with 1.0 mg/L kinetin and 0.5 mg/L BA, respectively. The plantlets grown in those media also showed remarkable antioxidant activities with an IC50 value of 4.77 µg/mL in DPPH and 100% inhibition in β-carotene assays, respectively.

Forty-six ethnobotanical and ethnographical sources from Spain were reviewed, together with some original unpublished field data from several Spanish provinces. A total of 419 plant species belonging to 67 families was recorded. A list of species, plant parts used, localization and method of consumption, and harvesting time is presented. Of the seven different food categories considered, green vegetables were the largest group, followed by plants used to prepare beverages, wild fruits, and plants used for seasoning, sweets, preservatives, and other uses. Important species according to the number of reports include: Foeniculum vulgare, Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum, Origanum vulgare, Rubus ulmifolius, Silene vulgaris, Asparagus acutifolius, and Scolymus hispanicus. We studied data on the botanical families to which the plants in the different categories belonged, over- lapping between groups and distribution of uses of the different species.

En la región mediterránea viven unas 1.000 especies de labiadas correspondientes a 48 géneros, de los cuales, 10 solo se encuentran en la parte asiática, 2 son endemismos de Marruecos y Argelia, 2 de Macaronesia y otros 2 europeos. Los géneros más importantes en cuanto a número de especies son Teucrium (141), Stachys (133), Salvia (131), Thymus (114) y Sideritis (87), que suman más de la mitad del número total de especies. En la Península Ibérica e Islas Baleares viven 290 especies de labiadas, que corresponden a 36 géneros. Solamente Teucrium (66), Sideritis (49) y Thymus (37) suman 152 especies, más de la mitad, con 45, 36 y 24 endemismos respectivamente, 105 en total. Otros 97 especies corresponden a 11 géneros medianos en cuanto a número de especies (5-16 en dicha área geográfica). Los 22 géneros restantes (1-4 especies) suman 41 especies. En la región macaronésica viven 31 géneros y 115 especies. Los géneros Bystropogon (7) y Cedronella (1) son endemismos, lo mismo que todas las especies de Micromeria (17) y Sideritis (26), debido a un proceso de radiación adaptativa en las islas macaronésicas.

Email: [email protected] Abstract Leopoldia tijtijensis Jafari (Asparagaceae) from western of Iran (Kurdistan province) is newly described. It is similar to L. tenuiflora but differs in having dense cylindrical-conical raceme not lax cylindrical, purple-violet fertile flowers not green-brown, purple sterile flowers not pale violet, oblong urceolate fertile flower not tubular urceolate, triangular capsule not ovoid-cordate. Key words: Leopoldia tijtijensis, Asparagaceae, new species, Iran Introduction Leopoldia Parl. is a genus of bulbous plant traditionally belonging to Liliaceae, subfamily Lilioideae, tribe Scilleae (Engler 1887). Then it was placed in Hyacinthaceae, subfamily Hyacinthoideae and tribe Hyacintheae (Speta 1998) and more recently, in the Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae (APGIII 2009). According to Davis and Stuart, Leopoldia is one of the subgenera of Muscari (Davis & Stuart 1966, 1980, Stuart 1966) while, Garbari and Greuter regard Muscari s.l. as comprising four genera: Leopoldia Parl., Muscari Mill., Muscarimi Kostel and Pseudomuscari Garbari & Greuter (Garbari & Greuter 1970). Leopoldia comprises about 12 species (Govaerts & Zona 2008, Jafari & Maassoumi 2011) distributed in Europe, the Mediterranean area and SW Asia (Losinskaya 1935, Davis & Stuart 1966, 1980, Stuart 1966, Garbari & Greuter 1970, Davis 1984, Feinbrun 1986, Rechinger 1990, Jafari & Maassoumi 2011). Rechinger treats, Leopoldia as a subgenus of Muscari with four species in Iran (Rechinger 1990). In the latest review, the number of Iranian Leopoldia species is increased to five (Jafari & Maassoumi 2011).

    International Rock Gardener ISSN 2053-7557 Number 134 The Scottish Rock Garden Club February 2020 ---International Rock Gardener--- February 2021 It should be no surprise to learn that the weather around the world is as changeable as ever – few places still seem to have a steady spell of climate, either cold or hot, at any season of the year. Instead, we see broad swings from cool, through freezing, to hot with wildfires in many areas. All adding to the difficulties encountered by the natural world – perhaps our gardens will indeed become the last refuges for many plants - though I doubt we can say the same for all flora and fauna. While the corona virus pandemic continues, along with other viral outbreaks around the world, the chances of being able to return to the free movement of people and the opportunities to meet face to face with other plantlovers are still vanishingly distant. Technology in the form of webinars, Zoom meetings and the like are a welcome distraction for many – and at least provide a small measure of “togetherness” and I am sure that now the benefits of regular online publications like IRG are being truly appreciated. Of course, without the efforts and generosity of our contributors the IRG would be a poor creature – and we are, more than ever, grateful to those authors who believe in our work and wish to be involved in this project to bring articles freely to the internet. This month we welcome Jānis Rukšāns from Latvia with the description of a new Leopoldia species. Jānis has suffered loss and illness from Covid19 in his close family – there are few countries which are not suffering still from this viral attack.
