INTRODUCTION
The genus Aristolochia (Aristolochiaceae) consists of about 500 species, growing mostly in tropical and
subtropical areas (Neinhuis et al., 2005). The Mediterranean region, including Turkey, Caucasus and Near
East, comprises more than 60 species of Aristolochia, which are monophyletic based on molecular
phylogeny (de Groot, et al., 2006; Wanke, 2006). They occur in different type of habitats, particularly in
subalpine humid or semidry grasslands.
Mediterranean climate as influenced also in differentiation of morphological characters and adaptation of
Aristolochia species to substrate, mostly in limestone. Most of species are geophyte, which allow them to
pass the dried summer period in dormancy whereas the growth including flowering, in spring time (Wanke,
2006; Costa, 2008). The west Mediterranean Aristolochia species, based on chromosomal numbers,
according to Ball (1964) and Mayer & Greuter (1985) are grouped in 4-species complex: A. rotunda, A.
sempervirens, A. fontanessii and A. pallida complex.
The flora of Albania includes 5- Aristolochia species, from which A. pallida complex is represented with
only one species, A. pallida. On the other hand Aristolochia merxmuelleri Greuter et E. Mayer, from this
complex, were described recently by Shuka et al., (2011). The rest of species, included in the flora of
Albania, according to Paparisto et al., (1988) are: A. clematis, A. longa, A. macedonica and A. rotunda. Here
after we are described and two other species, which can be considered as new for the Flora of Albania.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
During years 2007-2010, the authors of this paper have carried out many field works in South Albania. In the
mean time, the first author has undertaken additional field works over all the country, where hundreds
specimens are collected and herbarised. Voucher specimens are deposited in national herbarium of Faculty of
Natural Sciences, Tirana University and in private herbarium of the first author. Morphological and
ecological data in the growing locality are recorded. The coordinates were recorded with the aid of GPS Alan
Map 500. The diagnostic features measurements of the morphological characters of the new species were
taken from measurements of 15-living plants. Special attention in plant collection and measurements is
indicated to the form and size of tuberous rootstock system. The new species were defined based on Flora of
Albania (Paparisto et al., 1988), Flora Hellenica (Strid & Kit Tan, 1977) Nardi (1989) and Flora Europaea
(Tutin et al., 1964). The data, collected in field are analysed and compared with data’s taken from literature

and herbarised specimens from Botanical MuseumBerlin-Dahlem. Description of new species is illustrated
with photos and their distribution is mapped.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
On the 23 May of 2009, authors were in the field work in the area of Pogoni, Gjirokastra District. The aim of
this expedition was to study the plant diversity of this area, in the frame of PhD thesis of S. Malo.
Hundred meters, above the Poliçani Village, just to the old spring of the village, we observed the new
species, A. lutea, un-described before for the flora of Albania.
Aristolochia lutea Desf. (in Ann. Mus. Natl. Hist. Nat. 10: 295, 1807)
Syn. A. attica Lojac.
Syn. A. croatica Horvatic.
Location: Above Poliçani Village, on May 15, 2009, at the side of pebbly limestone of the delta created from
the tributary of Nemërçka Mountain. The species was observed at the altitude from 800 up to 1200 m and
coordinates N 400 07’; E 0200 21’. New species occurs in shadow, bare limestone rocks, at margins of
thermophilous oak woods, including Cercis siliquastrum and Pinus nigra cultivated woods. It is well-
adapted in highly-drained limestone substrates with shallow soil layer. Together with A. lutea above Poliçani
village we have observed two other important species for the flora of Albania: Campanula hawkinsiana
Hausskn. et Heldr. and Orchis pauciflora x Orchis quadripunctata, which are not reported before from this
region.

Species description: Perennial with rootstock globose, 3–4 × 3–4 cm diam. with several stems, erect, 20-30
cm, simple or several. Leaves cordate or triangular, glabrous in both sides, rare puberulous, petiole 2–18 mm,
petiole almost as much as pedicel, 5–15 mm long, blade 30–60 × 30–55 mm. Flowers solitary, perianth green
or greyish, sometimes violet to brown, particularly in higher altitudes, 40–65 mm including limb and utricle,
utricle 8–12 mm, pitcher-shaped, tube straight, 3–4 cm long. Limb clavate, green or with a brown to black

blotch in inner part, particularly in throat which is covered within with brown cilia, equalling with tube,
lanceolate or triangular-lanceolate, 1–1.5 cm long two to three time shorter than the tube. Capsule 3 × 1.8
cm, elongated or elipsoid form dehiscing from apex. Flowering April (rare at the end of March) and fruiting
in May or June (Fig. 1).
Other specimens collected: New finding of A. lutea in Poliçani Village, Zagoria Valley were following by
several other sites, like in: Llogora Pass, 25 May 2008, altitude 1150 m, in limestone substrate; Pass of Plum
(Qafa e Kumblles), above Kalimashi tunnel, 14 May 2010, altitude 1300 m, in serpentine substrate; along the
road to Razëm Village, 24 May 2010, altitude 800 m, in limestone substrate; Munella mountain, 21 Aprill
2011, altitude 1100-1350 m, in serpentine substrate.
Distribution of A. lutea: Acording to Strid & Kit Tan (1997) A. lutea is an widespread species begining from
Anatolia to SE Europe, including almoust all of the Balkan countries.
The grassland ecosystems in Pass of Plum, Kukesi district, were A. lutea accurs are habitats and for
subendemic species like Alkanna scardica Griseb. Viola raunsiensis W. Becker & Košanin and Fritillaria
orentalis Adams. In limestone grassland of Llogora Pass can be found also two endemics taxa: Viola
acrocerauniensis Erben and Orchis pauciflora x Orchis quadripunctata. Other important species growing in
this mountain are Fritillaria thessala subsp. jonic (Halacsy) Kamari and several endangered orchids species
of the genus Ophrys and Orchis.

The new records overlap the distribution habitat of A. Elongata, mentioned by Nardi (1989) in south
Albania. The species is reported based on the collection of F.K Meyer during his visit in Dhembeli and
Nemërçka Mountain ranges, on first of May, 1960 and collection of Alston and Sandwith, in subalpine
grasslands of Çajupi Mountain, above Zheji village, on June 11, 1933. Both species are collected in altitudes
from 700 up to 1600 a.s.l, and in the same habitat type where our collection is observed.
In fact, morphologically A. lutea and A. elongata are very similar and sometimes they have similar growing
habitat, so it is very difficult to distinguish them. The most distinctive futures among them is form of

rootstock, almost globose to the first and elongated or oblong to cylindrical to the second one. As above is
with interest to emphasizes that E. Nardi has not been in Albania and we did’t know if the vouchers of Meyer
and Alston together with Sandwith, have tuber or only the areal parts of the plants.
To solve this controversy, we have dug up about 10-plant tubers above Poliçani location and all of them were
globose. On the other hand, we have not seen the collection of Meyer and Alston & Sandwith and did not
observe A. elongata species in the Gjirokastra Mountains, in despite of several field trip carried out during
years 2005-2010. The presence of both species in Gjirokastra and Permeti districts, still unclear. Regardless
of the above, during a field work in Gjergjevica Valley, Korcha district, on 7 May 2009 and 12 April 2010,
the presence of Aristolochia elongata in this area was recorded.
Aristolochia elongata (Duchartre) Nardi. (in Webbia 38: 94, 1984).
Syn. A. pallida var. elongata.
Syn. A. attica Lojac.
Location: Gjergjevica Valley, on open shallow soil of serpentine substrate or shadow places of Buxeto-
Festucopsidetum serpentini plant communities. The most abundant woody plants where A. elongata occurs
are: Buxus sempervirens, Pinus nigra, Juniperus communis, Juniperus oxycedrus and Fraxinus ornus. A.
elongata as much as in the case of A. lutea grows in altitude 1000 up to 1300 m a.s.l and coordinates N 400
35’; E 0200 34’. It is well adapted to the dry serpentine habitats, having a early spring vegetation life cicle
and passing the dryed summer in dormance.
Species description and distribution: Perennial, rootstock elongated to fusiform or cylindrical, 10 × 25 mm
in diam. Stems erect or subterranean, 10–20 cm, simple and several for each tubers. Leaves cordate or
reniformes, slightly puberulous in both sides, petiole 2–15 mm, petiole longer than pedicel, 2–10 mm long,
blade 30–50 × 20–35 mm. Flowers solitary,
perianth green or yellowish, sometimes tinged
violet to brown, narrow below and gradually
broadened above, 30–50 mm including limb and
utricle. Limb similar to that of A. lutea but
narrower. Capsule 3 × 1.8 cm, elongated, prickly
or pear shaped, dehiscing from apex, seeds 3-4 x
3 mm, brown or brown to black. Flowering April
and fruiting in May to June (Fig. 2).
A. elongata was companied in its growing habitat
with plants that are adapted to the ophiolithic
substrate. The most common endemic and sub
endemic associated species are: Haplophyllum
boissieranum Vis. et Pancic, Polygonum
albanicum Jav., Silene schwarzenbergeri
Halacsy, Lilium calcedonicum L., Festucopsis

Centaurea ptarmicifolia Halacsy ex Hayek,
Minuartia baldaccii (Halacsy) Mattf. subsp.
baldaccii and Campanula hawkinsiana.
Distribution: A. elongata is distributed in
limestone and ophiolitic substarates of Greece
and South Albania.

Conclussion
The records of two Aristolochia species within Albanian territory make the subalpine grasslands and
mountain fascies important sites for the species of this genus. Two species of the Pallida complex:
A. elongata (Duchartre) Nardi and A. merxmuelleri Greuter et E. Mayer, are new for the Flora of
Europaea as Albanian sub endemics.
Natural dry grasslands and scrubland fascias on calcareous or ophiolithic substrates of Aristolochia
lutea and A. elongata are important sites and for other endemics and sub endemic species.
Definition of this two new species comprises a contribution for the flora of Albania and the floristic
composition of subalpine grassland habitats of the country.

The taxonomy of the Mediterranean Aristolochia pallida complex has been under debate since several decades with the following species currently recognized: A. pallida, A. lutea, A. nardiana, A. microstoma, A. merxmuelleri, A. croatica, and A. castellana. These taxa are distributed from Iberia to Turkey. To reconstruct phylogenetic and biogeographic patterns, we employed cpDNA sequence variation using both noncoding (intron and spacer) and protein-coding regions (i.e., trnK intron, matK gene, and trnK-psbA spacer). Our results show that the morphology-based traditional taxonomy was not corroborated by our phylogenetic analyses. Aristolochia pallida, A. lutea, A. nardiana, and A. microstoma were not monophyletic. Instead, strong geographic signals were detected. Two major clades, one exclusively occurring in Greece and a second one of pan-Mediterranean distribution, were found. Several subclades distributed in Greece, NW Turkey, Italy, as well as amphi-Adriatic subclades, and a subgroup of southern France and Spain, were revealed. The distribution areas of these groups are in close vicinity to hypothesized glacial refugia areas in the Mediterranean. According to molecular clock analyses the diversification of this complex started around 3-3.3 my, before the onset of glaciation cycles, and the further evolution of and within major lineages falls into the Pleistocene. Based on these data, we conclude that the Aristolochia pallida alliance survived in different Mediterranean refugia rarely with low, but often with a high potential for range extension, and a high degree of morphological diversity.

The flora of Albania is rich in vascular plants, comprising about 3250 species which are included in ‘Flora e Shqipërisë’ (Flora of Albania Vols 1– 4). However, several hundred taxa mainly reported by foreign authors were not included. Some of them can be found in the ‘Flora ekskursioniste e Shqipërisë’ (Excursion flora of Albania) and also have been referred in ‘Flora Europaea’ and some taxa were mentioned in ‘Dendroflora e Shqipërisë’ (Dendroflora of Albania). Many botanical explorations have been taking place since then and many taxa have been newly reported or confirmed. As a result of these explorations made by different authors from 1990 –2012, a catalogue containing 436 wild vascular plant taxa including 353 species and 83 subspecies is presented here. About 42 taxa are endemic to the Balkans, while 73 species and 24 subspecies are endemic to Albania and neighboring countries, and 30 species and 10 subspecies were only found in Albania. We believe that further field work and research in various herbaria will result in confirmation and addition of hundreds of further taxa to the flora of Albania in the near future.

Aristolochiaceae, a family of worldwide distribution comprising about 500 species, is a member of Piperales. Although Piperales is clearly monophyletic, the precise relationship within the order is ambiguous due to inconsistent placement of Lactoris fernandeziana. The appearance in some studies of Lactoris within Aristolochiaceae and the incongruence in generic treatments have also raised questions about the infrastructure of the family. This study addresses the overall generic relationships in Aristolochiaceae and its position in Piperales based on dense taxon sampling and sequence data from the plastid trnL-F region. The study resolved Piperales consisting of two major clades (Piperaceae plus Saururaceae and Lactoridaceae plus Aristolochiaceae) and Lactoris nested within Aristolochiaceae but with low support. The concept of two subfamilies in Aristolochiaceae, Asaroideae and Aristolochioideae, gains maximum statistical support. A generic treatment of Aristolochiaceae based on trnL-F is proposed which is congruent with recent analyses based on morphological characters.

A taxonomic revision of the genus Aristolochia in Africa, Madagascar, the West African islands, the Comores and the Mascarenes is presented. In total, 11 indigenous species are accepted: A. albida, baetica, bracteolata, embergeri, heppi, hockii, fontanesii, paucinervis, pistolochia, rigida and sempervirens. Descriptions, distribution maps and a complete taxonomic synonymy are presented. The investigation revealed three clades: (1) A group from northern Africa, including the West African islands (A. baetica, A. sempervirens, A. fontanesii, A. pistolochia, A. paucinervis). Those taxa are characterized by unilabiate flowers with a sessile utricle. (2) A group from central and East Africa as well as Madagascar and adjacent islands. Those plants also have unilabiate flowers, but with a stiped utricle (A. bracteolata, A. albida, A. embergeri, A. heppii and A. hockii). The latter four species are endemic to the region. (3) A single species restricted to Somalia (A. rigida). Its flower characters do not match those of the remaining African species. The flower is trumpet-like and bilabiate, resembling species from the Near East. These relationships are also supported by the molecular analysis of the trnL–F region. © 2006 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2006, 151, 219–238.

Evolution of Piperales – matK gene and trnK intron sequence data reveal lineage specific resolution contrast. Piperales are one of the largest basal angiosperm orders with a nearly worldwide distribution. The order includes three species rich genera, Piper (ca. 1,000 species), Peperomia (ca. 1,500-1,700 species), and Aristolochia s. l. (ca. 500 species). Sequences of the matK gene and the non-coding trnK group II intron are analysed for a dense set of 105 taxa representing all families (except Hydnoraceae) and all generic segregates (except Euglypha within Aristolochiaceae) of Piperales. A large number of highly informative indels are found in the Piperales trnK/matK dataset. Within a narrow region approximately 500 nt downstream in the matK coding region (CDS), a length variable simple sequence repeat (SSR) expansion segment occurs, in which insertions and deletions have led to short frame-shifts. These are corrected shortly afterwards, resulting in a maximum of 6 amino acids being affected. Furthermore, additional non-functional matK copies were found in Zippelia begoniifolia, which can easily be discriminated from the functional open reading frame (ORF). The trnK/matK sequence data fully resolve relationships within Peperomia, whereas they are not effective within Piper. The resolution contrast is correlated with the rate heterogenity between those lineages. Parsimony, Bayesian and likelihood analyses result in virtually the same topology, and converge on the monophyly of Piperaceae and Saururaceae. Lactoris gains high support as sister to Aristolochiaceae subf. Aristolochioideae, but the different tree inference methods yield conflicting results with respect to the relationships of subfam. Asaroideae. In Piperaceae, a clade formed by the monotypic genus Zippelia and the small genus Manekia (=Sarcorhachis) is sister to the two large genera Piper and Peperomia. Systematics of pipevines – Combining morphological and fast-evolving molecular characters to investigate the relationships within subfamily Aristolochioideae (Aristolochiaceae) A combined phylogenetic analysis of the Aristolochioideae was conducted based on 72 morphological characters and molecular datasets (matK gene, trnK intron, trnL intron, trnL-trnF spacer). The analysis sampled 33 species as the ingroup, including two species of Thottea and 30 species of Aristolochia and the monotypic genus Euglypha, which represent all the infrageneric taxa formally described; Saruma henryi and Asarum caudatum were used as the outgroup. The results corroborate a sister-group relationship between Thottea and Aristolochia, and the paraphyly of Aristolochia with respect to Euglypha that consequently should be included into Aristolochia. Two of the three subgenera within Aristolochia (Isotrema and Pararistolochia) are shown to be monophyletic, whereas the signal obtained from the different datasets about the relationships within subg. Aristolochia is low and conflicting, resulting in collapsed or unsupported branches. The relationship between the New World and the Old World species of subgenus Aristolochia is conflictive because morphological data support these two groups as monophyletic, whereas molecular data show the monophyletic Old World species of Aristolochia nested within the New World species. A sister group relationship is proposed between A. lindneri and pentandrous species, which suggests that a group of five species from central and southern South America (including A. lindneri) could be monophyletic and sister to Aristolochia subsection Pentandrae, a monophyletic taxon consisting of about 35 species from southern USA, Mesoamerica, and the West Indies. Colonisation, phylogeography and evolution of endemism in Mediterranean Aristolochia (Aristolochiaceae). This study provides evidence for a multiple colonisation of the western Old World from Asian ancestors within Aristolochia section Diplolobus (subsection Aristolochia and Podanthemum). Within subsection Podanthemum it is assumed, that the colonisation of the African continent happened at least two times independently. In contrast, for subsection Aristolochia, a rapid morphological radiation in the Near East (or close to this area) with subsequent star like colonisation of the different current distribution areas, which is not paralleled on the molecular level, appears to be more likely. Phylogenetic tree reconstruction is unsupported for these clades, but most clades are highly supported as monophyletic. Interestingly the Mediterranean and temperate Eurasian species, which are morphologically distinct (A. pistolochia, A. clematitis) are not clustering within the main clades, but are independent lineages. Analogue, A. rigida a species from Somalia is well-supported sister to the subsection Aristolochia. Within subsection Podanthemum the colonisation event from an Asian ancestor is clearly traceable, whereas in subsection Aristolochia the path is not traceable, since the ancestors are extinct or not present in the connecting areas. Within the Mediterranean, Near East and Caucasian species of subsection Aristolochia two morphologically and biogeographically well supported groups can be identified: the Near East/Caucasian species and the West Mediterranean species. The previous groupings for the latter, based on morphological characters, could be substantiated only partly by our results. This study provides the first phylogeny of all West Mediterranean species. In addition an independent complex is established including some micro endemic species. The phylogenetic results are discussed with respect to biogeography, and morphology, to give a first insight into the radiation and colonisation of the genus Aristolochia in the Mediterranean region. Universal primers for a large cryptically simple cpDNA microsatellite region in Aristolochia. We provide a new and valuable marker to study species relationships and population genetics in order to trace evolutionary, ecological, and conservational aspects in the genus Aristolochia. Universal primers for amplification and subsequent sequencing of a chloroplast microsatellite locus inside the trnK intron are presented. Utility of the primers has been tested in 32 species representing all clades of Aristolochia, including population studies within the A. pallida complex, A. clusii and A. rotunda. The microsatellite region is characterized as a (AnTm)k repeat of 22–438 bp containing a combination of different repeats arranged as ‘cryptically simple’. Trapped! Pollination of Aristolochia pallida Willd. in the Mediterranean A first study of the pollination biology of a Mediterranean Aristolochia species in its natural habitat is presented. 183 flowers of Aristolochia pallida were investigated, which in total contained 73 arthropods, dominated by two groups of Diptera, Sciaridae (37%) and Phoridae (19%). However, only Phoridae are regarded as potential pollinators, since pollen has been found exclusively on the body surfaces of these insects. All Phoridae belong to the genus Megaselia and are recognised as four undescribed species. The measurements of flower and insect dimensions suggest that size is an important constrain for successful pollination: 1) the insects must have a definitive size for being able to enter the flower and 2) must be able to get in touch with the pollen. Only very few insect groups found in Aristolochia pallida fulfil these size requirements. However, size alone is not a sufficient constrain as too many fly species of the same size might be trapped but not function as pollinators. Instead, specific attraction is required as otherwise pollen is lost. Since all trapped Phoridae are males, a chemical attraction (pheromones) is proposed as an additional constrain. Since A. pallida flowers are protogynous, the record of Megaselia loaded with pollen found in a flower during its female stage proves that this insect must have been visited at least one different flower during its male stage before. Further on, this observation provides strong evidence that the flowers are cross-pollinated. All these factors indicate a highly specialised pollination of Aristolochia pallida by Megaselia species.

The taxonomy of an Iberian endemic Aristolochia is treated, based on morphological and cytological characters. A brief description of its main diagnostic characters, distribution and habitat is included, as well as a distribution map and a few comments on its possible phylogenetic relationships. A new combination is proposed, raising this taxon from subspecies to a species proper: A. castellana (Nardi) Costa. A revised dichotomous key for the Iberian taxa of the genus is proposed. El presente trabajo trata la taxonomía de una Aristolochia endémica de la Península Ibérica, basándose en caracteres morfológicos y citológicos. Se incluye una breve descripción de los caracteres diagnósticos principales, de su distribución y hábitat, así como un mapa de su distribución y algunos comentarios sobre sus posibles relaciones filogenéticas. Se propone una nueva combinación, ascendiendo el taxon de subespecie a especie: A. castellana (Nardi) Costa. Se propone una nueva clave dicotómica para los táxones del género presentes en la Península Ibérica.

Twelve taxa belonging to fi ve families are reported based on fi eldwork in Albania from 2007 to 2010. Eleven have not been recorded for the country in the relevant volumes of Flora Europaea, Flora of Albania or the Med-Checklist. Notes on ecology and distribution are provided and all the taxa are mapped within Albania and also in neighbouring countries to show the nearest occurrences in the western part of the Balkan Peninsula. Some taxa in their natural habitat are illustrated by photographs. New localities for two sub-endemic species, Silene schwarzenbergeri and Centaurea vlachorum, are listed; these extend their known limits of distribution even further north. During fi eldwork in diff erent parts of Albania from 2007 to 2010, ca. 2260 herbarium specimens were collected, mostly on serpentine and limestone substrate. Several taxa were discovered which have not been included in the relevant volumes of Flora Europaea, Flora of Albania, the Med-Checklist or recently published literature and they were catered for in a series of fl oristic contributions among which are those by Malo & Shuka 2008, Shuka 2009, Shuka & Tan 2009, Shuka et al. 2010. Some have been misidentifi ed, e.g., Corydalis solida subsp. incisa treated erroneously as C. densifl ora, others were found to be species new to science. We deal here only with twelve taxa which are new records for the country and for two of them (Silene schwarzenbergeri and Centaurea vlachorum), new localities are provided which extend their known limits of distribution further north. Th e families and species are grouped in taxonomic sequence following Flora Europaea.
