Abstract

Wc pre.sent recent data on the distribution of some spccies rcported in the Regional Red List as endangered in the Pelorilan District (Sic ily). In this work we consider some species reported in thc Sicilian Rcd List as critically endangered (CR): Tilia platyphyllos subsp. platyphyflos, Hyoseris lallrina (Pamp.) Martinoli, Woodwardia rodieans (L.) Sm.; endangercd (EN): Polygonatum multiflorum (L.) All., Isoetes durieui Bory, Isoetes histrix Bory ; vulnerable (VU): Cistus crispus L., Carduus cephafanthus Viv., _Osmunda regalis. L. Furthennore. we report data on Tuberaria lignosa (Sweet) Samp. cited in the Red List as species with deficient data (DD). We put also in evidence that there is no corrcspondence between the assigned category risk and the actual degree or danger affecting in thc area (such as Hypecoum procumbens L. , Fritillaria messanensis Raf. and Cytisus scoparius (L.)
