Macrophytes in Inland Waters: From Knowledge to Management
No full textThe huge biodiversity of inland waters and the many different aquatic habitats or ecosystems occurring there are particularly threatened by human impacts. In this Special Issue, ten articles have been collected that show new data on the distribution and ecology of some rare aquatic macrophytes, including both vascular plants and charophytes, but also on the use of these organisms for the monitoring, management, and restoration of wetlands
Homage to Proserpina, or: why did the charophytes of the Pergusa Lake vanish?
No full textAn important bisexual population of the charophyte Chara canescens Loisel. (Characeae, Charales, Charophyceae) was reported in the XIX century for the Pergusa Lake (Sicily). A recent field survey to check its presence revealed that it has disappeared. After a bibliographic research to understand when and why this happened, the input of freshwater from outside the basin and the introduction of the carps were identified as the two main causes for its recent extinction. Some possible management measures to try to restore the lake ecosystem are
proposed
"Operazione Ghiandaia" per contribuire a mantenere la biodiversità
No full textThe proposed action is based on that regularly carried out by the Jay, Garrulus glandarius
(Linnaeus, 1758), a corvid that also feeds on acorns that it collects from oak trees to transport them to safe hiding places. The dispersion carried out by the Jay ensures the expansion of the oaks into suitable areas adjacent to the existing oaks, and their maintenance within the area in which the oaks are present.
If man could therefore collect acorns and bury them in suitable sites, he would help the Jay in his work of multiplication of oaks and therefore of propagation of woods, "real" woods
and not reforestations, with their heritage of complexity and biodiversity

No full textPre-Linnaean illustrations as original material of Linnaean Chara names (Characeae)
No full textWood (1960) investigated about the types of the four names of Characeae
published by Linnaeus (1753) in his Species Plantarum. He focussed on the herbarium
specimens forgetting the images mentioned in the protologues. Here
we list and present the pre-Linnaean illustrations that have to be considered
“original material” (according to the International Code of Nomenclature)
for the mentioned names.
Chara tomentosa L. - Wood (1960) defined the specimen 1088.1 in the
herbarium LINN as “holotype”, actually it is a lectotype (as well reported
in The Linnaean Plant Name Typification Project, http://www.nhm.ac.uk/
our-science/data/linnaean-typification) because of the two different figures
cited in the protologue: Plukenet (1691) and Morison (1699).
Chara vulgaris L. - Wood (1960) defined the specimen 1088.3 in LINN as
lectotype; the following illustrations are original material: Bauhin & Cherler
(1651), Bauhin (1658) (reported also in Bauhin 1671), and Vaillant (1719).
Chara hispida L. - Spencer et al. (2009) noted that the type (Herb. Linn.
No. 1088.4, LINN) designated by Wood (1960) is identifiable as C. aspera Willd.;
a proposal for the conservation of C. hispida with a conserved type was
subsequently made by Gregor et al. (2014). The figures in Plukenet (1692) and
Vaillant (1719) are original material of C. hispida.
Chara flexilis L. (= Nitella flexilis (L.) C. Agardh) - Neotype: England.
Suffolk, Henly, near Ipswich, Buddle in Herb. Sloane 117: 10 (BM-SL) (Wood
1960). In this case, no images are cited in the protologue.

Typification of the name Cistus × skanbergii Lojac., a rare rockrose extinct in its type locality
No full textIn 1885 Lojacono-Pojero described Cistus skanbergi, also known as the dwarf pink rockrose, from the Island of Lampedusa (Sicily, Italy). Despite becoming extinct in its type locality and being very rare in the Mediterranean Basin, during the last decades the plant corresponding to this name, a natural hybrid between C. parviflorus Lam. and C. monspeliensis L., has been successfully cultivated and introduced worldwide for ornamental purposes. The search carried out in several European herbaria allowed to select as lectotype a specimen collected by Lojacono-Pojero and kept at the herbarium of Kew, to detect other isolectotypes, kept in the herbaria of Geneva and Palermo, and to detect another syntype corresponding to a specimen collected by Gussone and currently kept at the herbarium of Palermo
