Thanks to the permanent support of the Mediterranean Cooperation Center of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN-Med) and after five years of hard work, this website has finally been finished and publicly presented. The ideal context for its presentation was the 3rd Mediterranean Plant Conservation Week, held between September 27 and October 1, 2021, at the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chania (Crete, Greece).

Since then, work has continued on the structure and content of the website, improving various aspects. Seventeen species have been completely described before, generally due to their smaller size, they were described only with one or two sentences in the “Observations” section of other larger ones. The text of another four has also been updated due to taxonomic changes, and some keys have been restructured. Work is currently ongoing to improve and update the content. All your suggestions are welcome.
