List of vascular plant species found in the "Natural Reserve of Monte Catillo" (central Italy)

This list of vascular plant species was developed based on the work carried out for the definition of the Reserve planning (Provincia di Roma, 2006). 

Between 2020 and 2023 floristic surveys and vegetation plots led to the integration of this original list, whose nomenclature was standardized according to Bartolucci et al. (2018).

Compared to the 365 species reported in the original list (Provincia di Roma, 2006), 520 species are now listed, i.e., 155 more than in the previous list. Interestingly, among the added species there are two non-native species for which eradication could be considered, i.e., Agave filifera and Aloe maculata, and several previously undetected orchid species, e.g., Cephalantera longifolia, Ophrys crabronifera, Ophrys incubacea.
