Science - Geography | | Italian term or phrase: gariche | The way I understand it, it must be some sort of rock formation, or a type of landscape. This is as much contest as I can provide:
"Particolare significativo naturalistico è la presenza della subendemica Matthiola fruticulosa (L.) Maire e le endemiche Dianthus siculus Presl., Ammi crinitum Guss., Scabiosa dicotoma Ucria e Micromeria canescens (Guss.) Bentam, presenti nelle gariche che colonizzano i gessi dell’interno."
The area the text refers to is the Torre Salsa Natural Reserve, in Sicily. |
