* Echium strictum L. fil., Suppl. Pl.: 131(1782) [E. ambiguum DC.; E. virescens Jan]
Species native to the Canarie islands and collected by Jan in Southern Sicily and at Catania, but
not found anymore. Perhaps a casual alien and therefore to be excluded from Sicilian flora. – EX.

1745. Echium plantagineum L., Mant. Pl. Alt.: 202 (1771)
Uncultivated dry and sandy ground along the coast and semiruderal roadsides. – Throughout the
region. – CC.
* Echium plantaginoides Roem. & Schult., Syst. Veg. ed. 15, 4: 19 (1819)
Dry meadows. – Reported for Ficuzza, Messina and Militello by Lojacono (1904), but identifi-
cation and taxon are treated doubtfully by Fiori (1926: descriptio a planta culta). To be searched
in the region. – R.
1746. Echium sabulicolum Pomel, Nouv. Mat. Fl. Atl.: 90 (1874) [E. maritimum auct. non
Willd. sensu str.]
Sandy coastland. – Throughout the region. – C.
1747. Echium calycinum Viv. in Ann. Bot. (Genoa) 1 (2): 164 (1804) [E. parviflorum auct.
non Moench]
Echium parviflorum Moench in Meth.: 423 (1794) nom. illeg. = E. italicum subsp. italicum. For
the legitimacy of the name E. parviflorum, see Gibbs (1971: 79). – Stony and rocky slopes, semi-
ruderal localities. – Throughout the region. – CC.

* Echium spurium Lojac., Fl. Sicul. 2 (2): 80 (1904)
Intermediate form between Echium calycinum and E. arenarium perhaps lacking of taxonomic
value. – Stony and rocky slopes, semiruderal localities. – Intermediate morphology between the
two taxa are confirmed by Sommier (1922: 60) on Malta and Pantelleria specimens.
