Abstract

In this contribution, the conservation status assessment of four vascular plants according to IUCN categories and criteria are presented. It includes the assessments of Aurinialeucadea (Guss.) K.Koch, Chondrillachondrilloides (Ard.) H.Karst., Daphnecneorum L., and Ophioglossumazoricum C.Presl at regional level (Italy).

Highlights

  • Red List assessmentsGlobal assessment Taxonomy and nomenclature Order: Asparagales Family: Asparagaceae. Charybdis glaucophylla Bacch., Brullo, D’Emerico, Pontec. & Salmeri, Phytotaxa 69: 18 (2012)

  • Charybdis glaucophylla (Fig. 1) is endemic to the Sardo-Corsican biogeographical province (Fenu et al 2014); its known distribution consists of seven populations in Sardinia and one population in Corsica (Fig. 2)

  • Research activities are recommended in order to better understand the reproductive biology; ex situ conservation and monitoring programs are encouraged in order to prevent and evaluate the possible development of threats, which could rapidly change the current conservation status, in particular of the small and scattered populations

Summary

Red List assessments

Global assessment Taxonomy and nomenclature Order: Asparagales Family: Asparagaceae. Charybdis glaucophylla Bacch., Brullo, D’Emerico, Pontec. & Salmeri, Phytotaxa 69: 18 (2012). Charybdis glaucophylla (Fig. 1) is endemic to the Sardo-Corsican biogeographical province (Fenu et al 2014); its known distribution consists of seven populations in Sardinia and one population in Corsica (Fig. 2). C. glaucophylla was known only from the Sulcitano-Iglesiente biogeographic sector (Isola di San Pietro, Pranu Sartu, Is Arenas and Monte Linas; Fenu et al 2014) In recent years, this taxon was discovered in three small localities in the mountainous inlands of Monte Limbara (north Sardinia). This species has a relatively wide ecological range In coastal areas, it is associated with both rocky and sandy places. Charybdis glaucophylla occurs in mountainous areas up to 1,300 m elevation It generally grows in garrigue characterised by Teucrium marum L., Genista corsica (Loisel.) DC. No documented decline in EOO, AOO, number of subpopulations, quality of the habitat or number of mature plants
