Integrative Taxonomy of Taxa (Plumbaginaceae) Endemic to Sardinia and Corsica.

Sardinia and Corsica are two Mediterranean islands where the genus is represented by 11 taxa, 10 out of which are endemic. An integrative approach, using molecular phylogeny, karyology, and seed and plant morphometry was used to resolve the complex taxonomy and systematics in this group. We found that several taxa are no longer supported by newly produced data. Accordingly, we describe a new taxonomic hypothesis that only considers five species: and , endemic to Corsica, and , , and , endemic to Sardinia.
