Abstract

Summary The author discusses a large number of taxonomical groups from the Mediterranean flora in which it seems possible to identify regular patterns in distribution, ecology and length of the life-cycle. On the basis of these observations the author recognizes in the recent evolution of the Mediterranean flora a general tendency to a sort of reduction of the vegetative apparatus correlated to the occupation of seminatural and anthropogenous habitats and diffusion on broad geographical areas. This tendency is interpreted as a consequence of man's action on the environment.
