TY - JOUR T1 - Scirpus hattorianus (Cyperaceae), newly reported for Europe, naturalized in France JF - Willdenowia Y1 - 2014 DO - DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3372/wi.44.44108 A1 - Verloove Filip SP - 55 AB -

The identity of the North American xenophyte Scirpus atrovirens in France was critically reassessed. Nearly all known populations (notably those from the departments Aisne, Jura, Pas-de-Calais and Saône-et-Loire) turned out to be referable to a closely related species, S. hattorianus. Distinguishing features for three species from the S. atrovirens complex (i.e. S. atrovirens s. str., S. georgianus and S. hattorianus) are compared and discussed. An identification key and SEM photographs of their achenes are provided. The ecology and degree of invasiveness of S. hattorianus in France are also briefly discussed.

VL - 44 IS - 1 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Cyperus glaber L. (Cyperaceae), an enigmatic species “new” to Spain JF - Webbia Y1 - 2013 DO - 10.1080/00837792.2013.801110 A1 - Filip Verloove A1 - Attila Mesterházy SP - 5 KW - Cyperaceae KW - Cyperus glaber L. KW - flora of Spain AB -

For the first time, Cyperus glaber L. is reported from Spain (Moral de Calatrava, province of Ciudad Real). The plants were previously erroneously ascribed to both Cyperus bellus Kunth and Cyperus rubicundus Vahl. Distinguishing features for these species are compared and some notes on residence status, ecology and habitat of Cyperus glaber in Spain are provided.
