Phytosociology and taxonomic notes on some endemic-rich associations of the Naples Gulf

The Gulf of Naples is an important centre of endemism, well known from the floristic point of view, but much less from the phytosociological one.

Description
Summary:The Gulf of Naples is an important centre of endemism, well known from the floristic point of view, but much less from the phytosociological one. In this paper we investigated the non-forest vegetation focusing on communities rich in endemics. We described two communities as new: for the garrigues on limestone, for the vegetation on dolomitic rocks, both from the Lattari mountains, and we extend the area of for the vegetation on volcanic rocks and rarely on limestones along the coast, which was known for a few localities. The syntaxonomical position and the phytogeographical context of these communities are discussed. A few taxonomic notes are added on rare or interesting species retrieved in the course of the enquiry.
