Abstract

The germination ability of four policy species from the Central Apennine were studied: Astragalus aquilanus, Iris marsica, Jacobaea vulgaris subsp. gotlandica, Klasea lycopifolia. Mature seeds were collected in the field, within an elevation range of 365–1932 m a.s.l. Different experimental conditions were tested and the best methods with optimal germination results are provided and compared for each species. First germination records are given for the investigated taxa.
