The genus Orobanche (Orobanchaceae) in Sardinia

Abstract

The taxa of Orobanche occurring in Sardinia and on the surrounding islets have been surveyed in the field and in herbaria. In total, 22 species occur in the region. Among them, 2 (O. foetida and O. teucrii) are new to the island, one (O. lavandulacea) previously doubtfully recorded, is confirmed. O. litorea is considered to be distinct from O. minor, and O. australis from O. canescens
