“…Moreover, during the last 50 years several papers concerning the vascular flora and the vegetation of the territories of Campobello di Mazara, Mazara del Vallo and Castelvetrano have been published. Most of them were focused on the coastal habitats and wetlands (e.g., Frei 1937;Brullo et al 1974;Brullo and Ronsisvalle 1975;Brullo andFurnari 1976, 1978;Ronsisvalle 1979;Bartolo and Brullo 1993;La Mantia and Gianguzzi 2003;Ottonello et al 2003;La Rosa et al 2007), on local woody communities, namely garrigues and maquis (Brullo and Marcenò 1985;Raimondo et al 1991;Brullo et al 1997Brullo et al , 2009, and on grasslands (Catanzaro 1983;Minissale 1995;Brullo et al 2010). Additionally, many articles focused on/mentioning single species growing in the surroundings have been published during last decades (e.g., Ottonello and Catanzaro 1986;Troia 2006;Troia and Spallino 2009;Geraci et al 2010;Gianguzzi et al 2010Gianguzzi et al , 2012Troia and Raimondo 2010;Badalamenti et al 2012;Gennai et al 2015;Médail et al 2016;Troia and Napolitano 2017;Musarella et al 2018).…”

This paper illustrates the botanic heritage of Parche di Bilello, a site located in the municipality of Castelvetrano. The study area hosts several woodland fragments dominated by Olea europaea var. sylvestris, Quercus suber and Quercus ilex, respectively. According to historical data, these nuclei represent the last remnants of an open forestland which covered a much wider coastal area between Mazara del Vallo and Sciacca until the end of Middle Age. Phytosociological relevés were focused on these forest nuclei, probably the most representative of south-western Sicily, which correspond to three habitats included in the 92/43 EEC Directive (9320, 9330 and 9340, respectively) and represent the final stage of three different edaphic series. Wild olive forests probably dominated on sandy calcareous soils, holm oaks prevailed on steep calcareous and N-exposed slopes. In contrast, cork oaks mostly occurred on sandy subacid soils issuing from pedogenetic processes on palaeodunes. Moreover, field surveys allowed to list 331 vascular plant taxa. Among them, Linaria multicaulis subsp. humilis, Orobanche balsensis and Serapias orientalis subsp. siciliensis are new to Trapani Province. Detailed information on the current distribution and the synecology of several plant taxa of high biogeographic and conservation interest is also provided. The study site also hosts one habitat of priority interest (6220, i.e. xerophilous Mediterranean perennial grasslands and annual swards) and two species protected by international laws, i.e. the orchid Ophrys lunulata and the lichen Teloschistes chrysophthalmus. Considering the high value of its natural heritage, this territory deserves the adoption of more effective protection measures. For this reason the authors recommend its inclusion as a new Site of Community Interest within the Sicilian Natura 2000 network.

online. This study aims to present a complete inventory of the vascular flora of the Archaeological Park of Selinunte. A total of 443 specific and infraspecific taxa are here reported. Fabaceae was the most collected family with 47 species. Asteraceae and Poaceae were the next largest families with 45 and 35 species, respectively. Euphorbia was the largest genus, represented by 9 species. The analysis of the biological spectrum of the vascular flora indicate the predominance of therophytes (42%) and hemicryptophytes (22%) while, from a chorological point of view, most of the species show a Mediterranean distribution. The presence of Cynara cardunculus subsp. zingaroensis (taxon endemic to W-Sicily) is reported for the first time for the investigated area.
