Note: the Strawberry-tree (Arbutus unedo L.) is a native species of the Mediterranean coasts of north-western Africa, of Europe and of Turkey and of the Atlantic coasts from Morocco to north-western France (Brittany). It is also native to some areas of Lebanon, Libya (Cyrenaica), to the Bulgarian and Turkish coasts of the Black Sea and to western Ireland. In Italy it is very frequent in all coastal areas from Liguria to Marche, while it is present, in a very fragmented way, in the Po basin, in the Adige basin and in Veneto, where it grows in few hilly areas that have sub-Mediterranean climate (eg Lake Garda, Euganean Hills, Romagna hills). In Liguria Arbutus unedo L. is widespread and very frequent in the coastal strip and in the sublittoral zone, it is rare in interland and absent in the valleys of the Po side.
