Riassunto

Recenti studi hanno permesso di chiarire l'identità sistematica e lo status di Kleinia mandraliscae Tin., composita succulenta descritta su campioni provenienti da Vulcano. Si tratta di un taxon di origine sudafricana, ben noto e coltivato in tutto il Mondo come pianta ornamentale. Probabilmente introdotto alle Eolie intorno alla metà del XIX secolo, vi crebbe allo stato subspontaneo per un breve periodo. Le indagini condotte presso diversi Erbari italiani hanno permesso di designare il neotipo della pianta, scelto tra gli exsiccata dell'erbario di Firenze (FI-HCI).

Recent investigations permitted to make clear the systematic identity and the status of Kleinia mandraliscae Tin., a succulent composite whose description was based on specimens coming from Vulcano Island (Aeolian Archipelago). It is a taxon of South-African origin, well known and cultivated world-wide as an ornamental plant. Probably introduced in the Aeolian Islands during the mid of XIX century, it underwent there a short period of naturalisation. Moreover, the investigations carried out in several Italian herbaria led to identify of the neotypus of this plant among the Florence Herbarium (FI) exsiccata.
