In this paper, Allium ducissae (the LSID for the name Allium ducissae is: 77254606-1) is described as a new species based on morphological and molecular analyses, and its taxonomic relationships are discussed. It grows in crevices on calcareous rocks, rocky slopes and grassy ledges in the subalpine belt, within two regional protected areas in the Lazio and Abruzzo administrative regions (Central Apennines, Italy). Previously, these populations were attributed to A. strictum, a species described from Siberia, belonging to A. sect. Reticulatobulbosa. The new species is distinct from A. strictum in the morphology of vegetative and reproductive structures. Indeed, it is close to A. palentinum, an endemic species to Cantabrian Mountains (NW Spain). Both molecular and morphological data support the recognition of the Allium populations coming from the Central Apennines as a new species. Allium ducissae can be clearly distinguished from A. palentinum by longer and wider tepals, longer filaments, a tooth of inner filament, flower pedicels, spathe appendage, and smaller seeds. Moreover, seed testa micro-sculptures revealed slight differences between A. ducissae and A. palentinum. Chromosome counts showed that A. ducissae is diploid with 2n = 16 chromosomes, as already known for A. palentinum. Molecular analyses support the affiliation of A. ducissae and A. palentinum to A. sect. Falcatifolia, contrary to what is known for the latter species, usually included in A. sect. Daghestanica. Finally, the IUCN assessment for the newly described species is proposed and briefly discussed.

“…The collected plants were identified using standard floras (Fiori 1923(Fiori -1929Zangheri 1976;Tutin et al 1964Tutin et al -1980Tutin et al , 1993Pignatti 1982;Pignatti et al 2017aPignatti et al , 2017bPignatti et al , 2018Pignatti et al , 2019Castroviejo et al 1986Castroviejo et al -2019Tison and de Foucault 2014). To identify samples belonging to critical groups, we used specific taxonomic studies (Grau 1970;Tornadore and Garbari 1979;Chrtekjun 1992;Puppi and Cristofolini 1996;Del Carratore et al 1998;Garbari et al 2003Garbari et al , 2007Peruzzi et al 2007;Brullo et al 2009;Arnelas and Devesa 2011;Ardenghi et al 2014Ardenghi et al , 2015aArdenghi et al , 2015bArrigoni 2014;Roma-Marzio et al 2015Conti et al 2019;Bartolucci et al 2020). Some herbarium specimens belonging to critical genera were sent to specialists for revision: The exsiccata of collected plants are stored in the 'Sandro Ballelli' Herbarium, part of the Herbarium Universitatis Camerinensis (CAME).…”

This study aims to increase floristic knowledge of Marche by means of a survey in the Montagna di Torricchio State Nature Reserve (central Italy). The Reserve, located in the central Apennines, covers about 3.2 km2 at altitudes ranging from 820 to 1,491 m a.s.l. It has been owned and managed as a strict reserve by the University of Camerino since 1970: all the anthropic activities ceased about 50 years ago, except for a minimal area where mowing and cattle grazing are still allowed. The floristic list consists of 789 specific and subspecific taxa belonging to 81 families and 352 genera. Two species are new for Italy (Taraxacum calocarpum and T. pulchrifolium) and 14 for Marche regional flora. Compared to previous floristic studies, we found 127 more taxa but we showed a certain stability in the life-form spectrum, suggesting limited effects of dynamic processes related to climate and land-use changes. The negligible number of alien species (11) is probably related to the limitations to anthropic activities in the Reserve. The occurrence of taxa never recorded for Italy and Marche highlights the floristic value of the Reserve for species conservation in the central Apennines.
