An inventory of the names of vascular plants endemic to C Mediterranean and described from Tunisia

Abstract

The census of the loci classici of the 98 vascular plants described from Tunisia, endemic to Tunisia or to Tunisia and the surrounding countries, is here presented and described. The effective place of publication of accepted names, basionyms, and homotypic synonyms were identified and critically verified. The geographic information on the loci classici was excerpted from the protologues, as well as information on typification for the taxa described before 1 January 1958. The names without holotype are 48. For 7 of them a lectotypification is already available in literature, 5 are lecotypified here, while 32 currently accepted taxa still need type designation. The new names Festuca scholziana Domina & El Mokni and Sixalix lehoueroui Domina & El Mokni are here proposed. For the names Linaria cossonii Bonnet & Barratte, L. doumetii Coss. ex Bonnet & Barratte, L. paradoxa Murb., Anarrhinum brevifolium Coss. & Kralik, and Onopordum espinae Coss. ex Bonnet (second step) lectotypes are designated here.
