Abstract

Zannichellia peltata Bertoloni (1854: 10) was described in the 10th volume of Flora Italica. This is one of the two species of Zannichellia Linnaeus (1753: 969) that he recorded from Italy (the other being Z. palustris Linnaeus [1753: 969]). Antonio Bertoloni (1775−1868) described the species based on a Gasparrini collection from the vicinity of Rosarno (Reggio Calabria) in southern Italy: “Habui ex fossis, et aquis quietis Calabriae prope Rosarno a Gasparrinio”.
