Plant and Fungal Species Descriptions

Summary In this paper the Authors show the results of a floristic research on the Laga Mountains carried out from 1997 to 2000. The field observations were made at three sites in this area which had not previously been studied: the wetlands of Fosso Cerruglia, the mountainous pastures of Fosso di Selva Grande and the subalpine pastures of Macchie Piane—Pizzo di Sevo. Among the results we report 1 species as new to the Apennines, 11 as new to Latium, and 13 as new to the Laga Mountains. Moreover, new findings of another 80 species (already known for the Laga Mountains) were found. For the most interesting species the authors supply data on aspects of the regional distribution and synecological and sintaxonomical features.
