Abstract
Continuing a series of miscellaneous contributions by various authors,
the fifth instalment includes information about 179 taxa focussing on
the chorology and ecology of the Cyprus flora. Four taxa are new to
science (Onopordum ×makrisii, Quercus alnifolia
var. argentea, Q. ×campitica
nothosubsp. hylatis, Solenopsis antiphonitis),
several taxa are new to the island, e.g., Aethionema
arabicum, Bellium minutum, Cynara syriaca, Echium judaeum, Epilobium
lamyi, E. tournefortii, Gypsophila linearifolia, Herniaria hemistemon,
Lolium rigidum subsp. lepturoides, Malcolmia
africana and Silene argentea. Chromosome
numbers of four taxa have been confirmed (Lomelosia cyprica,
Phlomis cypria subsp. occidentalis, Silene
fraudatrix, Teucrium kotschyanum), one case
(Arabis cypria) is controversial.
Key words: flowering plants, chorology, distribution maps,
taxonomy, chromosome numbers.
