New Chorological Data for the Italian Vascular Flora

Despite the importance for scientific and conservation purposes, the knowledge of the Italian territory is far from exhaustive. New chorological data for 87 vascular taxa regarding the central-southern part of Italy and its two main islands (Sicilia and Sardegna) are presented. Among these taxa, <i>Epilobium nummularifolium</i>, <i>Metrosideros excelsa</i>, and <i>Salvinia minima</i> are recorded as casual aliens for the first time in Europe (excluding Azores and Madeira for <i>M</i>. <i>excelsa</i>), while <i>Cyclamen balearicum</i> and <i>Polygala rupestris</i> are reported for the first time and confirmed for Italian native flora, respectively. Furthermore, several taxa are new or confirmed at regional level. Finally, <i>Lathyrus cirrhosus</i>, <i>Urginea fugax</i>, and <i>Linum tenuifolium</i> are excluded from Italy, continental and peninsular Italy, and Sardegna, respectively.
