Abstract

Current knowledge of the taxonomy, distribution and ecology of Orobanche in Sicily is based on collections made at the beginning of the XX century or earlier. A revision of this genus, often neglected in Italy and other Mediterranean countries, has therefore been started. The taxa described as new by Vincenzo Tineo and Michele Lojacono Pojero, 2 and 13 respectively, are here examined. For each, the nomenclatural type has been established, and the synonymy, taxonomic status and known distribution are presented.
