The genus Orobanche in Sicily. Taxa described by V. Tineo and M. Lojacono Pojero
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.
