taxonomy, hybridization, North Africa, Southwest Andalusia, New notospeciesAbstract
A new notospecies is described: Narcissus ×fulgens, resulting from the crossing of Narcissus cavanillesii and Narcissus viridiflorus, and the identity of N. ×xanthochlorus is discussed. The new notospecies is found in large plains of marl-clay substrates that are very susceptible to transformation into short-term crops, belonging to the natural region of Tangier (Northern Morocco). Additionally, illustrations and a table are presented for comparing the new hybrid with its parent species.
