    This paper describes the vegetation with Stipellula capensis in the Abruzzo region (Central Italy). The species is a terophyte with a strictly Mediterranean distribution and it is generally present in sub-nitrophilous pastures of small annual plants, on thin soils often rich in small clasts. The area investigated is an inter-mountain basin that is characterized by a Meso-Mediterranean Sub-humid climate with a high level of continentality. For the investigated plant communities, the new association Convolvulo elegantissimi-Stipelluletum capensis is described, within the syntaxa Hypochaeridenion achyrophori/Hypochaeridion achyrophori/ Brachypodietalia distachyae/Tuberarietea guttatae. The association is the last regressive stage of the brush-tree vegetation within the climatophilous and thermophilous series of Quercus pubescens s.l. (Roso sempervirentis-Querco vigilianae sigmetum)

    The vegetation of the walls in the inner cities of the built-up areas of the Altipiani Maggiori d’Abruzzo has been analized by the phytosociological method. The study has lead to recognize 4 associations belonging to the alliance Cymbalario muralis-Asplenion rutae-murariae (Tortulo-Cymbalarietalia, Parietarietea judaicae), characterized by a main Central-European-Atlantic distribution. Two of the recognized associations are described for the first time in the Abruzzo region and one is new for Central and Southern Italy

    Artemisia eriantha Ten., also known as "Apennines genepì", is a valuable aromatic plant with several medicinal properties. Among the several phytoplasma symptoms to which this plant can be subjected, the fasciation is one of the less reported and studied. In natural environments this plant is a characteristic species of the association Artemisietum erianthae Brullo 1984. In this study, the first occurrence of fasciation in Artemisia eriantha is described. This phenomenon was observed during the ex vitro experimental cultivations, located in Assergi and Barisciano (L'Aquila, Italy), settled for the restocking of this endangered species. The fasciation occurred only in Assergi experimental field with a magnitude of 0.12%. Specific PCR analysis did not show the phytoplasma presence. This fist report allows to expand knowledge about fasciation in Apennines genepì
