The recently described Phelipanche hedypnoidis from the Orobanche (Phelipanche) ramosa group has been found in Cyprus for the first time. So far, it is known only from one site at the south coast. Hedypnois rhagadioloides as host plant is confirmed. To meet the demands of a more traditional generic treatment the new combination Orobanche hedypnoidis is proposed.
Further noteworthy records of vascular plants in Cyprus (1997–2018) and some status clarifications
(2019)
This paper deals with specimen-based records of 74 taxa, most of them having a scattered occurrence or restricted distribution range in Cyprus. The following taxa are new to Cyprus or have been found in the wild for the first time: Aristida adscensionis subsp. adscensionis, Buglossoides incrassata subsp. splitgerberi, Cenchrus setaceus, Chenopodium rubrum, Gazania rigens, Malus domestica, Mespilus germanica, Mirabilis jalapa, Pyrus communis, Sambucus nigra and Spartium junceum. The new combination Urtica cypria (H. Lindb.) Hand for the endemic nettle species is proposed.
This inventory intends to provide updated numbers of vascular plants occurring in Cyprus. Currently, 1649 indigenous taxa (species and subspecies) are known to occur in Cyprus. In addition 254 taxa belong to various categories of neophytes. The endemism rate of the indigenous flora amounts to 8.55 %, i. e. 141 taxa, while 33 species and subspecies belong to the category of near-endemic for which Cyprus bears significant responsibility for their conservation.
