Abstract

Alyssum doerfleri is recorded for the first time in Italy from Monte Sellaro, Pollino National Park (southern Apennines, Calabria). Macro- and micro-morphology (including SEM study of trichomes) and karyology (2n = 16) of the Italian plants are congruent with the data available for Balkan populations. Chorological and conservation features of this species are presented and discussed.
