The section Cryptogamia-Lichenes of the Herbarium Universitatis Taurinensis (TO) includes ca. 34,600 lichen specimens, organised in historical (ca. 30,700 mostly from 19 th century) and modern 3,900 specimens collected 1978, out which 3400 Italy) collections. Specimens administrative regions Piemonte Valle d’Aosta (NW are core collection, documenting floristic vegetation studies, as well biomonitoring campaigns investigations on biodeterioration stone cultural heritage. dataset Italian...
Abstract We analysed the invasion history of two North American macrophytes ( Elodea canadensis and E. nuttallii ) in Italy, through an accurate census all available herbarium field records, dating between 1850 2019, a rich literature collection describing initial introduction naturalisation phase that supports results obtained by occurrence records. arrived Italy before 1866 had phases, 1890s 1920s 1990s 2000s; , probably 1970s, started invading 2000 is still ongoing.

The name of Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius is closely associated with the Brazilian flora. collected thousands specimens during his exploration Brazil from 1817 to 1820, and subsequently was founder, mentor promoter monumental Flora Brasiliensis. Little known, or simply overlooked, however, fact that many had distributed other herbaria, web collaborators, are not own collections, but those naturalists. present study concerns sent Luigi Colla in 1827. In volume I Herbarium Pedemontanum,...
Summary Historical botanical collections, are important for many aspects of research (nomenclature, taxonomy and floristics), information on past present Biodiversity. The paper considers five cases study in order to point out the role Italian collections from Latin America.
A contribution to the nomenclature of genus Sagina is presented. The following 10 taxa are recognized as being part Italian flora: S. alexandrae, apetala, glabra, maritima, micropetala, nodosa, pilifera, procumbens, revelierei, and saginoides subsp. saginoides. names apetala var. decumbens (=S. apetala), bryoides procumbens), patula Spergula glabra glabra), pilifera pilifera), Spergella subulata macrocarpa saginoides) here typified. Specimens deposited at B-W, C, E, LY, illustrations by...
Abstract Giovanni Casaretto (1810–1879) was appointed by King Charles Albert of Savoy‐Carignano, Kingdom Sardinia, as the botanist and mineralogist a planned circumnavigation globe. After collecting in few localities southern Brazil Uruguay, collected for almost nine months, from April to December 1839, Rio de Janeiro its vicinity. While Rio, he also bought about 100 collections Riedel 500 Clausen, which were made states Janeiro, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, re‐numbered integrated into his...
Astragalus vulnerarioides Allioni (1785a: 343) was first described from Mt. Cenis, between the Cottian and Graian Alps (western Alps, France), probably based on herbarium specimens collected by Allioni. The author cited two illustrations in protologue, which are consequently original material for name (Art. 9.3 of ICN, McNeill et al. 2012). were drawn F. Peyrolery. published third volume Flora Pedemontana (T. XIX, Fig. 2, 1785b), while second is an unpublished illustration Iconographia...
Summary In 2011, the Società Botanica Italiana (S.B.I.) promoted a project named “Taxa di piante vascolari descritti per l'Italia: censimento, tipificazione e approfondimenti biosistematici (Vascularplant taxa described for Italy: census, typification and biosystematic analysis)”. This has two goals: to typify names of endemic Italian vascular plants not yet typified identify their type localities. paper typifies published by Carlo Allioni (1728–1804): Alyssum argenteum All. (Brassicaceae)...
The present study concerns Brazilian specimens that Carl Martius sent to Luigi Colla in 1827 and from which described 31 new species volume II of Herbarium Pedemontanum 1834. original material examined by (now held at TO) was found compared with duplicates elsewhere. Material located TO for all but six the taxa Colla. Eleven hitherto unresolved names are here clarified, along ten synonymies 12 proposed lectotypifications. Based on collecting localities comparison mainly Martii BR, least 18...
In volume V of Herbarium Pedemontanum, Luigi Colla cited 21 species based on Brazilian specimens distributed by Carl Martius in 1827. Of them, 18 were treated as new species. The original material examined (now held at TO) was found and compared with duplicates elsewhere. Material located for all but two the taxa described Colla. Fourteen hitherto unresolved names are here clarified, seventeen synonymies, eighteen lectotypifications, one neotypification, combination proposed. Based...
The present study concerns Brazilian specimens that Carl Martius sent to Luigi Colla in 1827 and from which described 24 new species volume III of Herbarium Pedemontanum 1835. original material examined by (now held at TO) was found compared with duplicates elsewhere. Material located for all but two the taxa Colla. Eighteen hitherto unresolved names are here clarified, along 23 synonymies, 20 proposed lectotypifications one epitypification, three combinations.

In this contribution new data concerning the distribution of native vascular flora in Italy are presented. It includes records, exclusion, extinction and confirmations to Italian administrative regions for taxa genera Androsace , Artemisia Fragaria Melampyrum Myosotis Petrorhagia Phillyrea Rosa Rumex Spiranthes Trifolium Vicia . Furthermore, a combination genus Omalotheca is proposed.
Abstract Identifying areas susceptible to invasion by an alien species is a strategy of prevention. We used national herbaria and global databases assess the trends two aquatic invasive Ludwigia hexapetala peploides subsp. montevidensis in Italy. defined status with invasions curves predicted potentially suitable Species Distribution Models based on WorldClim variables human footprint index. Low seasonal variation temperature precipitation, ≥ 20 °C warmest, driest wettest periods year...

Abstract An isolate of BYDV (BYDV‐OC), from barley in Northwest Italy with typical symptoms yellowing and dwarfing, was transmitted by Rhopalosiphum padi, Sitobion fragariae. S. avenae, Metopolophium festucae, R. maidis M. dirhodum , but not Myzus persicae or Schizaphis graminum . It reacted DAS‐ELISA monoclonal polyclonal antisera to PAV, antibodies MAV, RPV RMV. A antiserum prepared BYDV‐OC did react MAV‐like, RPV‐like, RMV‐like isolates ELISA Western blots. The concentration BYDVOC Avena...
In volume IV of Herbarium Pedemontanum, Luigi Colla cited 27 species based on Brazilian specimens distributed by Carl Martius in 1827. Of them, 22 were treated as new species. The original material examined (now held at TO) was found and compared with duplicates elsewhere. Material located for all but six the taxa described Colla. Fifteen hitherto unresolved names are here clarified, along fourteen synonymies, twelve proposed lectotypifications. Based collecting localities comparison Martii...
