Update to the Flora of Cilento and Campania region (Southern Italy) | Un aggiornamento alla flora del Cilento e della Campania

ABSTRACT - Update to the Flora of Cilento and Campania region (Southern Italy) - We present the results of floristic researches carried out from 1984 to 2011 in the area of Cilento (Campania region, Southern Italy). We listed, from original data, 71 taxa: 9 result new records for the Campania region; 38 are new to the flora of Cilento; furthermore we report the findings of 18 species requiring confirmation and some details regarding infraspecific taxa. We argue that, considering the actual state of knowledge, the flora of Cilento accounts of 2070 taxa and that the incidence of exotic species (as well as invasive ones) in recent records, is high. Finally, we pointed out that the flora of wetlands and ponds, despite some interesting new findings, is heavily threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation resulting in small populations, undergoing to local risk of extinction.
