A new station of Betula pendula Roth is reported on the forest of Belagaio in the Colline Metallifere area (Grosseto Province, Tuscany). It is located in an area with Mediterranean climate, outside the main Italian distribution of the species, which is Alpine and Apennine. Palinological data, current environmental conditions and some bryophyte records suggest that the population is autochthonous.
