Seed germination reports for Policy species in the central Apennines
Seed germination reports for Policy species in the central Apennines
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.
