Abstract

The present contribution is part of the ongoing work aimed at researching and identifying the original material on which the names of Orobanche Linnaeus (1753: 632) described for Europe and the Mediterranean are based (Domina et al. 2005, Domina & Stepanek 2009, Domina et al. 2013, Carlón et al. 2015). It falls within the researches promoted by the Italian Botanical Society aimed at recognizing and typifying all the taxa described from Italy and their loci classici, in order to increase their systematic knowledge and promote further studies (Domina et al. 2012, Peruzzi et al. 2015, Brundu et al. 2017). Orobanche ebuli Huter & Rigo (1907: 354), is an Italian endemic (Peruzzi et al. 2015, Bartolucci et al. 2018), exclusive to Lazio and Abruzzo. It grows on the edge of beech woods at 1200–1300 m a.s.l., host of Sambucus ebulus Linnaeus (1753: 269) (Lattanzi et al. 1999, Corazzi 2003). This name, as far as we are aware, it not yet typified.
