TLDR
An updated inventory of the vascular flora alien to Italy, providing details on the occurrence at regional level, is presented in this paper, which includes 1597 species, subspecies, and hybrids, distributed in 725 genera and 152 families; 2 taxa are lycophytes, 11 ferns and fern allies, 33 gymnosperms and 1551 angiosperms.Abstract:
An updated inventory of the vascular flora alien to Italy, providing details on the occurrence at regional level, is presented. The checklist includes 1597 species, subspecies, and hybrids, distributed in 725 genera and 152 families; 2 taxa are lycophytes, 11 ferns and fern allies, 33 gymnosperms, and 1551 angiosperms. 157 taxa are archaeophytes and 1440 neophytes. The alien taxa currently established in Italy are 791 (570 naturalized and 221 invasive), while 705 taxa are casual aliens, 4 are not assessed, 7 are of unknown regional distribution, 47 have not been confirmed in recent times, 3 are considered extinct or possibly extinct in the country, and 40 are doubtfully occurring in Italy. This checklist allows to establish an up-to-date number (9792) of taxa constituting the whole (native and alien) Italian flora.read more

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive extinction assessment for endemic vascular plants under the full responsibility of a single country is presented, which would provide an important step towards the prioritization and conservation of threatened endemic flora at Italian, European, and Mediterranean level.

Floristic diversity in different urban ecological niches of a southern European city
TL;DR: The present paper aimed at studying the vertical and horizontal spatial distribution, species richness and diversity of vascular plants in different urban ecological niches (urban habitats) by means of the case study of Bologna, a typical densely populated southern European city, finding that urban habitat quality, measured by the number of native species, was directly proportional to the strength of selective factors and inversely proportional toThe rate of disturbance.

Recent assembly of the global herbaceous flora: evidence from the paper daisies (Asteraceae: Gnaphalieae).
TL;DR: Biogeographic analyses indicate that Gnaphalieae originated in southern Africa during the Oligocene, followed by repeated migrations into the rest of Africa and the Mediterranean region, with subsequent entries into other continents during various periods starting in the Miocene.

Phylogenetic analyses of Zostera species based on rbcL and matK nucleotide sequences: Implications for the origin and diversification of seagrasses in Japanese waters
TL;DR: A provisional age related classification of Zosteraceae is proposed to argue the origin and evolution of the family because of the relatively high species diversity around Japan and Korea coast areas and the family might have arisen therefrom.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that rapid radiation of this genus might have been influenced by the gaining of unique characteristics, such as phylloclades, in order to adapt to the dry environment, and a strict consensus tree resulting from the phylogenetic analysis indicates that southern African species comprise a potentially paraphyletic assemblage and Eurasian species are monophyletic.
