“…First record for Puglia (casual alien) Change of status for Calabria: from casual alien to naturalized alien Notes-Juglans regia is a South-West Asian tree, in Italy often cultivated for its appreciated fruits [29]. Is it recorded as cryptogenic in Lombardia, Veneto and Sardegna, and as casual or naturalized from many Italian regions except for Puglia [33,65]. In this region, some small populations of young individuals spread by seed from plants cultivated nearby were observed in anthropogenic environments.…”

The tradition of floristic studies in Italy has made it possible to obtain a good knowledge of plant diversity both on a national and regional scale. However, the lack of knowledge for some areas, advances in plant systematics and human activities related to globalization, highlight the need for further studies aimed at improving floristic knowledge. In this paper, based on fieldwork and herbaria and literature surveys, we update the knowledge on the Italian vascular flora and analyze the floristic similarities between the administrative regions. Four taxa, all exotic, were recorded for the first time in Italy and Europe. In detail, Elaeodendron croceum, Kalanchoë blossfeldiana, and Sedum spathulifolium var. spathulifolium were found as casual aliens, while Oxalis brasiliensis was reported as historical record based on some herbarium specimens. Furthermore, Kalanchoë laxiflora was confirmed as a casual alien species for Italy and Europe. Status changes for some taxa were proposed at both national and regional levels, as well as many taxa were reported as new or confirmed at the regional level. Currently the Italian vascular flora comprises 9150 taxa of which 7547 are native (of which 1598 are Italian endemics) and 1603 are exotic at the national level. The multivariate analysis of updated floristic data on a regional scale showed a clear distribution along the latitudinal gradient, in accordance with the natural geographical location of the regions in Italy. This pattern of plants distribution was not affected by the introduction of alien species. Despite some taxonomic and methodological issues which are still open, the data obtained confirm the important role of floristic investigations in the field and in herbaria, as well as the collaborative approach among botanists, in order to improve the knowledge of the Italian and European vascular flora.

“…Plant taxa nomenclature is in line with the updated checklists of the vascular flora native to Italy [18] and subsequent updates [19][20][21][22][23] summarised in the Portale della Flora d Italia/Portal to the Flora of Italy 2020 [24,25]. The phytosociological investigation was based on the classical phytosociological method of Zurich-Montpellier Sigmatist school [26], and the syntaxonomic nomenclature follows the Italian Prodrome of Vegetation [27].…”

Thymus vulgaris L. is an emblematic species of the Mediterranean tradition. As a crop, this species has been spread wherever possible by man around the World. Often escaped from cultivations, defining its natural environment and the limits of its natural range is very much complicated as these have been greatly altered and influenced by human presence, in a positive or in a negative way. In addition to ecology and biogeography studies, we carried out human ecology research to understand whether, in a multidisciplinary (pan-ecological) approach, the case study of the Th. vulgaris subsp. vulgaris community can be considered of natural or of naturalised origin. An ecological, bio-geographical, and floristic review on this species is reported to help the discussion. Our study could be a good way to improve scientific discussions and applications even for other places and other situations. Some outlook and proposals are reported to improve management and conservation measures, in order to foster our ″green-sphere″ protection strategies through plants.

“…As far as the vascular flora of Italy is concerned, FlorItaly, the Portal to the Flora of Italy ( ; accessed on 29 March 2021) [ 18 ], is built on the basis of the checklists by Bartolucci et al [ 19 ] and Galasso et al [ 20 ] and their subsequent updates, which are published twice per year [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. FlorItaly hosts a rich thesaurus of names, and each query is parsed through it in order to provide all relevant results.…”

Scientific names are not part of everyday language in any modern country, and their input as strings in a query system can be easily associated with typographical errors. While globally unique identifiers univocally address a taxon name, they can hardly be used for querying a database manually. Thus, matching algorithms are often used to overcome misspelled names in query systems in several data repositories worldwide. In order to improve users’ experience in the use of FlorItaly, the Portal to the Flora of Italy, a near match algorithm to resolve misspelled scientific names has been integrated in the query systems. In addition, a novel tool in FlorItaly, capable of rapidly aligning any list of names to the nomenclatural backbone provided by the national checklists, has been developed. This manuscript aims at describing the potential of these new tools.
