Abstract

Contribution to the knowledge of the genus Alchemilla L. (Rosaceae) in the Italian Alps: Carnic, Julian Alps and Pre-Alps

Highlights

  • The knowledge about the genus Alchemilla in Italy and in particular in the Alpine regions had considerable progress in the last decades, especially due to the activity of floristic cartography, which stimulated the study of some critical genres, including Alchemilla (Fröhner & al. 2012; Bovio & Festi 2014; Festi & al. 2015)

  • This paper aims at improving the knowledge of the genus Alchemilla in the flora of Friulian Alps (North-Eastern Italy)

  • Alchemilla carniolica, A. filicaulis, A. glomerulans, A. hirtipes, A. propinqua, A. venosula and A. versipila occurred in a single population, whereas A. monticola, A. flabellata, A. connivens and A. xanthochlora were the most common, having more than 40 records on average

Summary

Introduction

The knowledge about the genus Alchemilla in Italy and in particular in the Alpine regions had considerable progress in the last decades, especially due to the activity of floristic cartography, which stimulated the study of some critical genres, including Alchemilla (Fröhner & al. 2012; Bovio & Festi 2014; Festi & al. 2015). The recognition of the species of Alchemilla is always a very difficult task due the complexity of forms and lack of description of the diacritic framework of some species. This makes the majority of literature data unsuitable for phytogeographic purposes, when they are not checked by a taxon specialist. 2012) and, as consequence, the deriving bibliographic citations are erroneous. For these reasons, all the records given here, except for explicit warning, are based
