Abstract

First contribution to the taxonomic and cytotaxonomic study of Parapholis and Hainardia (Poaceae) in Albania

Highlights

  • The genus Parapholis was created by Hubbard (1946) to include four species previously described under different genera: P. incurva (L.) C.E

  • New taxa for the Albanian flora are reported for Parapholis (P. marginata and P. strigosa), together with the results of a comprehensive cytotaxonomic study of this genus, and a general taxonomic arrangement for Hainardia and Parapholis is provided, comparing the results with the corresponding data from adjacent Adriatic areas

  • Together with Pholiurus Trin. and the monotypic Hainardia Greuter (only including H. cylindrica (Willd.) Greuter), it has been included by Greuter (1967) in the tribe Hainardieae Greuter, characterized by spikelets fast compressed and sunk in the rachis’s cavity, alternate or at times opposite, 1 floret,1 glume in the lateral spikelets and 2 in the apical

Summary

Introduction

The genus Parapholis was created by Hubbard (1946) to include four species previously described under different genera: P. incurva (L.) C.E. New taxa for the Albanian flora are reported for Parapholis (P. marginata and P. strigosa), together with the results of a comprehensive cytotaxonomic study of this genus, and a general taxonomic arrangement for Hainardia and Parapholis is provided, comparing the results with the corresponding data from adjacent Adriatic areas. (2018), the former Hainardiae are represented in the Albanian flora by three species: H. cylindrica, P. filiformis and P. incurva.
