Abstract
Adoxa moschatellina subsp. cescae subsp. nova is proposed. Phytogeographical, karyological and morphological evidences are presented. This subspecies appear to be endemic to the Coastal Chain, Calabria (S Italy) and shows a triploid (2n = 54) chromosome complement, different from the diploid (2n = 36) one of A. moschatellina s.s. By a morphological point of view, pollen and stomata size of the latter (from the whole Italy, including the Pollino Massif, N Calabria) appear to be smaller in average than those of the new subspecies, which can be considered as a new apoendemic taxon, because of its distribution and high ploidy level.
