Abstract

Chamaerops humilis or “dwarf palm” is one of the two native palms occurring in Europe and the only native palm in Italy. During XXth century, the anthropic pressure caused a strong reduction of growth areas, so that the current dwarf palm distribution in Italy is very fragmented and confined to Sicily, Sardinia, and few wild coastal areas from Liguria to Campania. On the African side, it occurs mainly in Morocco but also in N Algeria and N Tunisia, while in Europe it occurs on the coastal areas of southern Portugal, Spain and France. The objectives of research are 1) to describe the phylogeographic structure of the species throughout its distributional range in the West Mediterranean region. 2) to infer a biogeographic scenario to explain its present distribution.
