Supplementary notes to the flora of Cyprus VI. Abstract Hand R. (ed.): Supplementary notes to the flora of Cyprus VI. -Willdenowia 39: 301-325. -Online ISSn 1868-6397; © 2009 BGBM Berlin-dahlem. doi:10.3372/wi.39.39209 (available via http://dx.doi.org/) Continuing a series of miscellaneous contributions by various authors, the sixth instalment includes information about 126 taxa focussing on the chorology and ecology of the Cyprus flora. One taxon is new to science, Lythrum hyssopifolia var. cyprium, 16 taxa are new to the island, e.g., Campanula fastigiata, Ferula tingitana, Lactuca undu lata, Minuartia montana subsp. montana, Rochelia disperma, Sedum aetnense and Veronica bozakmanii. Chromosome numbers of Carrichtera annua, Euphorbia hierosolymitana, E. veneris, Lactuca tetrantha, Lythrum hyssopifo lia, Peucedanum kyriakae, Ranunculus creticus and Solenopsis antiphonitis have been confirmed or are reported for the first time. The phylogenetic position of the recently described endemic Cynara makrisii is elucidated with ITS sequences. additional key words: vascular plants, distribution, taxonomy, chromosome numbers, ITS Hand: Supplementary notes to the flora of Cyprus VI.
