20 MISC. PUBLICATION 797, U. S. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE 
Fiori’s floras, with small but excellent figures which have been 
widely used, and there is a folio work by Perini with colored 
plates of 400 plants of northern Italy as well as Tenore’s rare 
Flora napolitana with 250 colored plates. There is a list of 
Italian botanists by Saccardo with biographical notes, lists of 
publications, and much supplementary information, two rather 
extensive selected bibliographies by Béguinot (1920, 1938), and 
several regional bibliographies (Liguria, Sardinia, Sicily, Veneto, 
and southern Italy). 
The standard collection of vernacular and patois names is by 
Penzig; there are some partial lists (Jaberg, a graphic repre- 
sentation of selected species with the patois names printed on 
large maps in the appropriate places; D. Saccardo, medicinal 
plants), an extensive list of the names of woody plants, and a 
number of local catalogs. There are several works on trees, the 
most outstanding being a series of papers published by the Tour- 
ing Club Italiano. There are cited half a dozen works on medicinal 
plants, one on edible plants (there is another on Piedmonte), one 
on forage plants (there are others for Bergamo and Parma), one 
on ornamentals, one on useful and injurious plants in general, 
three on weeds, and one on adventive plants. Saccardo has pub- 
lished a list of cultivated plants giving the date of introduction of 
each into Italy, as well as a larger work presenting a list of Italian 
vascular plants, including naturalized and adventive species, with 
the date of the earliest records and the names of the recorders. 
There are publications on physiography in relation to plant and 
animal life, plant zones, phytogeography, botanical history, review 
of floristic work, locality names derived from plant names (with 
several local works on the same subject), plants of the small 
islands, plants of Virgil and the other classical writers, and on 
various other subjects. Among the local or regional publications 
some are of general interest, such as Bonacelli’s La natura e gli 
Etruschi. 
Of the 18 regioni (formerly called compartimenti) into which 
Italy is here divided (Val d’Aosta being included in Piemonte), 
there are floras of all but 5 (Abruzzi e Molise, Calabria, Campania, 
Emilia, Puglie). Of these 18 floras (including 2 which take in 
some adjacent areas, and 1 which is a joint flora), 5 date from 
1844 to 1869, 5 from 1884 to 1913, and 3 from 1932 to 1950. Of 
the 91 provinces, 38 have floras (including 3 provinces into which 
1 province has since been split, and 8 others covered by joint 
floras). Of these, 13 date from 1802 to 1863, 10 from 1870 to 
1883, 12 from 1893 to 1921, and 3 from 1942 to 1954. Of 655 
primary titles, 61 are general, 68 regional, 84 provincial, and 442 
local; and there are 489 subsidiary titles, giving a total of 1,144. 
LUXEMBOURG.—The grand-duchy of Luxembourg, with an area 
of 2,586 square kilometers (999 square miles) has a flora of about 
1,150 species (Lefort in litt., 1957). It has one old descriptive 
flora (1875) and two catalogs (one annotated) of about the same 
date, but the present state of knowledge of its flora is better 
represented by Goffart’s Nouveau manuel (see under Belgium). 
Extensive lists of additional records have been published from
