Abstract

Amphi-Adriatic/amphi-Ionic Apulia Balkans Cerinthe retorta Gargano IUCN Italy
Cerinthe retorta Sibth. and Sm. has been detected in calcareous rocky slopes in Valle dell’Inferno on the Gargano promontory (Apulia, southeastern Italy). It is the first record of the species in Italy and the westernmost site of the distribution of this mostly Aegean species. This disjunction may provide evidence for past amphi-Adriatic/amphi-Ionic terrestrial connections. The IUCN assessment of the species in Italy and in Europe and the global assessment are briefly discussed.
