The author first gives a brief overview of the region's geography, including elevation data, soil quality, and rainfall. Then the author embarks on a exhaustive review of the flora found in this region, dividing the flora into zones based on elevation. The first zone includes the area from sea level to 350 m, with common species such as Anacyclus tomentosus, Carduncellus coeruleus, and Capparis sicula. The second zone from 350 to 800 m encompasses Ostrya carpinifolia, Fraxinus ornus, and Acer pseudo platanus, with a diverse array of herbaceous plants including Aquilegia pyrenaica, and Centaurea magellense. The third zone, from 800 to 2271 m, is home to Festuca alpina, Sesleria tenuifolia, and Poa pollinensis, along with rare and endangered species like Festuca viperina and Gagea Liottardi. The author also includes an appendix of newly discovered species, varieties, and forms of flora. Overall, this volume is an invaluable resource for botanists, ecologists, and anyone interested in the rich natural history of Calabria.
