Cornucopiae cucullatum L. (Poaceae), a very rare species, is an hygrophyte occurring in the eastern part of the Mediterranean basin. In Italy it occurs only in a few stations. Recently, a new station has been discovered in the Apulia Region, in the Regional Natural Park « Saline di Punta della Contessa », a coastal wetland located in the Adriatic side of southern Apulia. Geographical distribution area and ecological data are here reported. An evaluation of the conservation status is also provided.
