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.
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:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
