Typification and nomenclature of the names in the Santolina chamaecyparissus species complex (Asteraceae)

Abstract

A nomenclatural revision of the Santolina chamaecyparissus species complex is presented. A detailed survey of original material for all names applied to members of the complex was performed, and 28 names are newly typified. The current usage of the names S. villosa and S. ericoides, relating to some Spanish and French populations, is discussed. The name S. villosa is applied to a taxon endemic to Spain, whereas S. ericoides is applied to those Spanish and French populations often traditionally referred to S. villosa. Keywords Anthemideae; Linnaeus; Mediterranean Basin; Miller; taxonomy ■ NOMENCLATURE OF THE SANTOLINA CHAMAECYPARISSUS COMPLEX Here we treat in detail all the names that have been previously applied to members of the Santolina chamaecyparissus complex. The treatment is organized alphabetically by

An Integrated Taxonomic Approach Points towards a Single-Species Hypothesis for Santolina (Asteraceae) in Corsica and Sardinia

“…For the niche similarity tests, occurrence data from Sardinia were downloaded from Wikiplantbase #Sardegna [33], while occurrence data for Corsica were obtained from literature [27] and personal communications (J.-M. Tison). Santolina chamaecyparissus was excluded from the niche analysis, since this species is of unknown origin and its distribution is crucially affected by human cultivation [19]. Distribution of species and sampled populations are summarized in Figure 1.…”

“…Santolina is a genus of dwarf aromatic shrubs that includes about 26 species endemic to the western portion of the Mediterranean Basin [17][18][19]. According to Oberprieler [20], the diversification of this genus from its closest relative started around 10 million years ago.…”

“…In Sardinia, it is recorded only for Monte Albo, in the central-eastern portion of the island, so that it shows an allopatric distribution with S. insularis. Santolina chamaecyparissus is a pentaploid sterile unit of unknown origin, and it is only known as a cultivated plant [19]. It is morphologically similar to S. corsica/S.…”

Typification of 14 names in the Dianthus virgineus group (Caryophyllaceae)

“…In this study, the nomenclature of 14 taxa is discussed: Dianthus aggericola Jord., D. collivagus Jord., D. consimilis Jord, D. godronianus Jord., D. orophilus Jord., D. saxicola Jord., D. juratensis Jord., and D. subacaulis As part of an ongoing project aimed to push forward the taxonomic knowledge on selected genera of the Italian vascular flora, this study aims to lay the foundations for further taxonomic investigations by an integrated approach based on morphometric and molecular data (Domina et al 2021;Giacò et al 2021).…”
