The present paper aimed at studying the vertical and horizontal spatial distribution, species richness and diversity of vascular plants in different urban ecological niches (urban habitats) by means of the case study of Bologna (Italy), a typical densely populated southern European city. A total of 477 species were found in the study area of the historical city centre, 30% of which were alien species. Alien plant species were mainly present among phanerophytes, while native plants were mainly therophytes and hemicryptophytes. The habitats that mostly contributed to the species total richness were semi-natural soils, followed by paved areas, walls, rooftops and manholes. The number of exclusive species decreased according to the selectiveness of the habitat, with manholes and rooftops being the most selective. The presence of hemicryptophytes constant decreased going from 27% of more humid habitats to 5% of more arid habitats, so that they can be considered a water availability biomarker. Urban habitat quality, measured by the number of native species, was directly proportional to the strength of selective factors and inversely proportional to the rate of disturbance, with roofs and semi-natural soils having, respectively, the highest and lowest quality. Finally, a relation between species richness and street characteristics, like width, orientation and type of flooring, was demonstrated.

“…The percentage of alien species is very low (1.3%), compared with the percentage (12.8%) reported by Galasso et al (2018), probably due to the altitude of the collection sites (always above 900 m) and to the relative low rate of anthropization of the habitats explored. This low percentage reveals that the area includes environments with a high degree of wildness.…”

“…17% of the flora of Piemonte (4015 taxa, according to Bartolucci et al 2018 andGalasso et al 2018); they were found over an area that represents only 0.4% of the Regional area (the Crissolo, Oncino and Ostana municipalities occupy a surface area of 113 km 2 , out of the 25,387 km 2 of the total). Endemics (six) amount to almost 0.9% of the taxa observed and to 3.8% of the endemic species present in Piemonte (158, according to Bartolucci et al 2018).…”

“…The letter "A" indicates an alien unit; it is followed by the regional status: "NAT" for a naturalized species, "INV" for an invasive one (according to Bartolucci et al 2018 andGalasso et al 2018). The floristic novelties for the regional flora, according to Bartolucci et al (2018) are marked with asterisks (** = new unit, * = confirmed unit, previously "Doubtful" or "Not Confirmed").…”

In 2014, the annual field trip of the working group for Floristics, Systematics, and Evolution of the Italian Botanical Society was held in Piemonte (northern Italy), at the head of the Po Valley. This valley, at whose extremity is located the Monviso (3,841 m a.s.l.), belongs to the Cottian Alps about which very little is known from a floristic point of view. An inventory of the taxa of vascular plants collected during the field trip is reported here. The research led to the identification of 3,546 exsiccata, kept in nine public and nine private collections. A total of 669 taxa belonging to 79 plant families were recorded. Six taxa resulted endemic to Italy and three exclusive to Piemonte, while only nine alien species were detected; six taxa are new and five confirmed for the regional flora.
