Abstract

A new population of Centaurea, belonging to the C. busambarensis complex, was recently discovered in the Nebrodi Mountain (northeastern Sicily). Individuals of this population show some peculiar characters differentiating it from the nine currently recognized species of the C. busambarensis complex in Sicily. To validate this differentiation, we conducted a statistical analysis on the morphological characters. The results indicated that this new population is sufficiently distinct to deserve recognition as a separate species. In this context, we provide a detailed description and illustrations of the newly identified species, which we name C. haluntina. This new species is a punctiform endemic to the lower Nebrodi Mountains.

来自西西里岛内布罗迪山脉（地中海中部地区）的菊科半枝莲属新种

最近在内布罗迪山（西西里岛东北部）发现了一个新的半枝莲种群，属于半枝莲复合种。该种群的个体表现出一些奇特的特征，使其有别于西西里岛目前公认的九个 C. busambarensis 复合物物种。为了验证这种区分，我们对形态特征进行了统计分析。结果表明，这个新种群具有足够的独特性，值得被认定为一个单独的物种。在此背景下，我们提供了新鉴定物种的详细描述和图解，并将其命名为 C. haluntina。这个新物种是内布罗迪山脉下部特有的一种点状动物。

期刊介绍： Phytotaxa is a peer-reviewed, international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic and taxonomic botany, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs, floras, revisions and evolutionary studies and descriptions of new taxa. Phytotaxa covers all groups covered by the International Code of Nomenclature foralgae, fungi, and plants ICNafp (fungi, lichens, algae, diatoms, mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and vascular plants), both living and fossil. Phytotaxa was founded in 2009 as botanical sister journal to Zootaxa. It has a large editorial board, who are running this journal on a voluntary basis, and it is published by Magnolia Press (Auckland , New Zealand). It is also indexed by SCIE, JCR and Biosis. All types of taxonomic, floristic and phytogeographic papers are considered, including theoretical papers and methodology, systematics and phylogeny, monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues, biographies and bibliographies, history of botanical explorations, identification guides, floras, analyses of characters, phylogenetic studies and phytogeography, descriptions of taxa, typification and nomenclatural papers. Monographs and other long manuscripts (of 60 printed pages or more) can be published as books, which will receive an ISBN number as well as being part of the Phytotaxa series.
