Typification of nine Orchidaceae names described from Sicily (Italy)

We typify nine orchid names described by Michele Lojacono-Pojero, Filippo Parlatore, Agostino Todaro, Vincenzo Tineo, Giuseppe Bianca and Constantine Rafinesque-Schmaltz, who were active in Sicily between the early 19th and the early 20th centuries. These names refer to seven taxa and two hybrids. An updated taxonomic prospect, protologues, taxonomically relevant characters, ecology and global and regional distribution based on both relevant literature and authors’ personal data are presented.
