We report the results of floristic research carried out in the "Bosco Rocconi" WWF Oasis. Firstly, a brief description of the geomorphological, climatical and vegetational features of the area is given. Secondly, the list of the vascular flora is given, which was made out through floristic field researches, bibliography and herbarium specimens. This list includes 548 species belonging to 88 families and to 362 genera; only 6 of them are introduced species. The biological spectrum shows that hemicryptophytes outnumber therophytes here - 39,4% against 28,1% - suggesting a mixture of subcontinental and mediterranean subclimate. This is also confirmed by the chorological analysis, which reveals an equal distribution of Mediterranean and Eurosiberian elements and numerous connections with the oroipsophylous subdominion. There are three endemic species (Cerastium arvense subsp. arvense var. etruscum, Leontodon rosani and Ornithogalum etruscum). Moreover, a number of species are interesting from a phytogeographical and conservational viewpoint: Biscutella cichoriifolia, Dictamnus albus, Cardamine monteluccii, Euphorbia pterococca, Linum nodiflorum, Ruscus hypoglossum, Santolina etrusca. The data collected indicate that the Oasis is a key area for the protection of many calcicolous xerophytes. Moreover, its environmental variety allows a fairly high level of floristic biodiversity. © 2018 Società Botanica Italiana onlus.

Abstract
We report the results of floristic research carried out in the "Bosco Rocconi" WWF Oasis. Firstly, a brief description of the geomorphological, climatical and vegetational features of the area is given. Secondly, the list of the vascular flora is given, which was made out through floristic field researches, bibliography and herbarium specimens. This list includes 548 species belonging to 88 families and to 362 genera; only 6 of them are introduced species. The biological spectrum shows that hemicryptophytes outnumber therophytes here - 39,4% against 28,1% - suggesting a mixture of subcontinental and mediterranean subclimate. This is also confirmed by the chorological analysis, which reveals an equal distribution of Mediterranean and Eurosiberian elements and numerous connections with the oroipsophylous subdominion. There are three endemic species (Cerastium arvense subsp. arvense var. etruscum, Leontodon rosani and Ornithogalum etruscum). Moreover, a number of species are interesting from a phytogeographical and conservational viewpoint: Biscutella cichoriifolia, Dictamnus albus, Cardamine monteluccii, Euphorbia pterococca, Linum nodiflorum, Ruscus hypoglossum, Santolina etrusca. The data collected indicate that the Oasis is a key area for the protection of many calcicolous xerophytes. Moreover, its environmental variety allows a fairly high level of floristic biodiversity. © 2018 Società Botanica Italiana onlus.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
