New records of native and alien vascular plants from Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park (Italy) – and additions to the flora of Abruzzo and Molise administrative regions

Abstract

The Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, a flagship conservation area in Italy, is a hotspot of floristic diversity and a crossroad for plant biogeography. In this work, as a result of recent field studies in the Park and herbarium revisions, we report 10 taxa new or confirmed for the Abruzzo administrative region, and 3 for the Molise administrative region. Moreover, 47 taxa of vascular plants (41 native and 6 alien taxa) that are new or confirmed for the flora of the Park are reported. Five taxa are excluded from the flora of the Park.
