Abstract/Contents: | "The Festuca violacea aggregate in the Alps and Apennines was the subject of full morphological, biosystematic, chorological, and ecological investigations carried out on herbarium specimens, living plants under cultivation, and wild populations. In the two mountain ranges, seven taxa were found to occur in the summit area: Festuca violacea Gaudin ssp. violacea, Festuca violacea ssp. puccinellii (Parl.) Foggi, Graz. Rossi et Signorini, Festuca violacea ssp. italica Foggi, Graz. Rossi et Signorini, Festuca melanopsis Foggi, Graz. Rossi et Signorini, Festuca norica (Hack.) K. Richt., Festuca picturata Pils, and Festuca nitida Schultes ssp. nitida. Synonyms, descriptions, original iconography, karyological data (new data for F. violacea ssp. puccinellii), distribution, and ecology were gathered for each taxon, together with original identification keys. The possible origin and diffusion of the different entities are discussed. Special attention was given to F. melanopsis and to the three subspecies of F. violacea, for which morphometric multivariate analyses (cluster analysis and discriminant analysis) were performed. A new taxonomic treatment of the aggregate is proposed." |
