Abstract
The name Rosa viscosa (Rosaceae), published by G. Gussone in 1818 in Catalogus Plantarum Phaenogamarum is here lectotypified on a specimens preserved at the Herbarium NAP. Rosa viscosa is an endemic species to southern Italy where is currently recorded with certainty only in the Calabria region. However, Gussone described R. viscosa from the Madonie mountains (locus classicus), a calcareous massif occurring in Sicily. The lectotype here designated, therefore, confirms the occurrence in Sicily as historical record. A clarification about the occurrence of the species in Central Italy is provided.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
