Within floristic investigations on the Sila Massif (S Italy), taxonomical considerations and new contributions on the endemics of this territory are given. The flora of Sila has 13 exclusive endemics and includes further 55 endemics with a wider distribution range, 8 of which are restricted to the siliceous Calabrian massifs. In order to contribute to the knowledge of the endemics of the Silan flora, two new species (Adenocarpus tenoreanus and Allium julianum) are here described and a new combination is proposed.
