Limonium ×erbenii (Plumbaginaceae), new hybrid taxon for the Southeastern Iberian flora
type: item
description: Limonium ×erbenii, a hybrid resulting from the interspecific cross between Limonium estevei Fern. Casas and Limonium cossonianum Kuntze, is here described as a new nothospecies based on the morphological and molecular characterization of five individuals collected in Macenas, at the base of Sierra de Cabrera (Mojácar, Almería, SE Spain), where it coexists with the parental taxa. The morphological analysis included the measurement and comparison of 39 diagnostic characters to evaluate the intermediacy of the hybrid accessions relative to the parental species. For the molecular characterization, the ITS region of ribosomal nrDNA was amplified, sequenced and analyzed to detect potential additive polymorphic sites (APS). Results revealed a mosaic of parental and intermediate morphological traits, a typical pattern of a first-generation hybrid (F1), and the presence of APS indicative of the coexistence of ribotypes inherited from both parental species within the hybrid’s genetic background. Altogether, these findings provide strong evidence confirming Limonium ×erbenii as the product of natural hybridization between L. cossonianum and L. estevei.

Petrosedum thartii (Crassulaceae), an overlooked species of the Iberian flora
type: item
description: We report here the presence in the Pyrenees of plants assignable to Petrosedum thartii based on current knowledge of the difficult yellow-flowered Petrosedum complex. Petrosedum thartii has not previously been reported from the Iberian Peninsula and the nearest known locations are in the Alps. However, this plant is quite common in the inland valleys of the south-eastern Pyrenees but has seemingly often been confused with P. rupestre, a widespread species in this area whose presence has only been confirmed in areas with a maritime influence in eastern Catalonia. Our observations also indicate that confusion between P. montanum and P. rupestre is common, which suggests that an updating of the distribution of the yellow-flowered Petrosedum species in the Pyrenees is required.

Narcissus ×urenae (Amaryllidaceae), a new hybrid for the flora of Northern Morocco
type: item
description: A new notospecies is described: Narcissus ×urenae, resulting from the cross between Narcissus obsoletus and Narcissus papyraceus. In addition, for the correct characterization of one of the parents, Narcissus obsoletus, the distinctive morphological characteristics of this species and the most related taxa are detailed, given the taxonomic discrepancies in the treatment of daffodils with white corollas and strictly autumnal flowering in several areas of the Mediterranean, differentiating several taxonomic entities, such Narcissus serotinus, N. deficiens, N. obsoletus and N. elegans, depending on their geographical distribution and specific characteristics.

A phytosociological study of the subrupicolous and subnitrophilous fig tree (Ficus carica) communities on the Cantabrian coast (Spain)
type: item
description: In this paper we studied the shrub formations dominated by the fig tree, Ficus carica L. (Moraceae), that are found along the Cantabrian coast. Previous studies on these communities in the Principality of Asturias revealed the difficulty, due to their rarity, floristic composition and structure, to be able to adequately adscribe them to a specific syntaxonomic unit. A total of 29 plots are presented, 20 from Asturias and 9 unpublished from Cantabria. These plots are compared with other associations from western Mediterranean basin and Iberian Peninsula, in which Ficus carica participates, as well as with the association Hedero hibernicae-Sambucetum nigrae in order to study their degree of similarity. Cluster and detrended correspondence (DCA) analyses revealed the separation of the plant communities of the Cantabrian coast under study in a group different and independent from the rest. Consequently, the new association Hedero hibernicae-Ficetum caricae ass. nov. (Pruno spinosae-Rubion ulmifolii, Pyro spinosae-Rubetalia ulmifolii, Crataego-Prunetea) is confirmed and described. Data are also provided on its synecology and the ecological relationship with other floristically related communities and syncorology, as well as conservation and management measures are suggested.

Contribution to the knowledge of the genus Avena L. (Poaceae) in Morocco
type: item
description: In this article, we present a revision of the genus Avena in Morocco based mainly on the morphological study of the remarkable collection of the Emirates Center for Wildlife Propagation (ECWP, Missour, Morocco). A new key is provided for the identification of the 24 taxa found, one of which, A. strigosa Schreb. new for North Africa. The presence of several taxa of poorly known distribution range, belonging to the A. barbata Link complex, is confirmed, and the known distribution range of several taxa is greatly improved. The new combination A. atlantica subsp. atlantigrandiflora is proposed.

Cosmos sulphureus Cav. (Asteraceae) in the Iberian Peninsula
type: item
description: Cosmos sulphureus (Asteraceae) is an annual herb widely used as an ornamental, here reported as a new addition to non-native flora of the Iberian Peninsula. Individuals escaping from cultivation were recently detected in 2024 on the campus of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (Barcelona province, Spain). While citizen-science platforms suggest that the species might be spreading for some years, it was not cited in the Iberian Peninsula in bibliographic or electronic references. The finding of novel records of non-native plants in an extensively sampled area highlights the need for continuous vegetation sampling.

Typification of the Linnaean name Rhamnus tinctoria, the basionym of Flueggea tinctoria (Euphorbiaceae), an endemic plant to the Iberian Peninsula flora
type: item
description: The name Rhamnus tinctoria was published in 1758 by Linnaeus in Loefling’s Iter Hispanicum. The work was published posthumously after Loefling’s death in Venezuela in 1756. Although Linnaeus received specimens from Loefling’s Iberian collections, several were lost, so Linnaeus relied on Loefling’s notes for these taxa. Since it was impossible to find original material of Rhamnus tinctoria in the various Linnaean and Linnaean-associated herbaria, a neotype has been designated for this Linnaean name. The neotype selected is a specimen preserved at MA, collected in central Spain (Talavera de la Reina, Toledo). This specimen belongs to the exsiccatum “E. Bourgeau. Plantes d’Espagne” (number 2492), which contains several duplicates (e.g., at P, barcodes P05595291, P05503187, P05502243).

Updated checklist and analysis of the Vascular Flora of Andalusia (Southern Spain)
type: item
description: The presence of 4,898 flora taxa (species, subspecies, and hybrids) belonging to 171 families and 1,172 genera in Andalusia is reported. Of these, 4,253 (86.8%) are native and 645 (13.2%) are allochthonous. The number of species is 4,324, the number of subspecies is 328, and 246 are hybrids. In the Andalusian territory, there are 944 endemic taxa in the context of mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands, of which 429 are strictly Andalusian; another 76 have the main nucleus in Andalusia but have some population in the provinces bordering the territory; 14 have their main nucleus in a neighboring province, but have some population in Andalusia, and 425 are strict Ibero-Balearic endemics with a distribution that far exceeds the limits of Andalusia. The high Andalusian plant diversity is due to the great environmental, lithological, soil, climatic, and altitudinal heterogeneity as well as to its complicated geological history and its position between the European and African continents. The provinces of Granada, Jaén, Almería, Málaga and Cádiz, occupied mostly by the Baetic mountain range, with over 2,400 taxa and 2,200 species, with the province of Granada having the highest values, with 3,209 taxa and 2,912 species.

Identity of Anthyllis heterophylla (Loteae-Leguminosae): an obscure name derived from a misinterpretation
type: item
description: Anthyllis heterophylla (Loteae-Leguminosae) has been regarded as an enigmatic species since its original description in 1763. Subsequent taxonomic and nomenclatural treatments of the species have been conducted without the designation of the type. We examined the original material of A. heterophylla preserved at LINN, and our morphological analysis indicated that A. heterophylla is conspecific with A. barba-jovis. The typification of A. heterophylla is discussed herein, and a lectotype for the name is designated.

Ononis varelae (Fabaceae), a new species to the Portuguese flora
type: item
description: Two specimens of Ononis varelae Devesa were collected by the authors in 2024 at two different locations within the Odeleite River valley in Serra do Caldeirão, Algarve. Initially believed to be the first gatherings of this species in Portugal, a thorough examination of herbarium material revealed an earlier specimen from the same region, collected in 1969. These records extend to the west the known distribution range of this species, previously considered endemic to the Sierra Morena, in southwestern Spain. Plants were found in similar habitat conditions to the ones described in the literature. Therefore, it should be added to the Portuguese vascular flora as a native species and considered as an Iberian endemic. It is preliminarily assessed as Endangered in Portugal, following the IUCN red list criteria.

Notes on four naturalized weeds in Morocco: extended distribution and new record
type: item
description: This contribution deals with the record of four alien naturalized plants in Morocco due to field surveys conducted in 2023 and 2024, with special emphasis on weeds occurring in farmlands (agricultural regions of Chaouia, Gharb, Haouz, Loukkos, Sous, and Tadla). Among these reported plants, three are here presented as new national distributional records namely, Euphorbia heterophylla L., E. nutans Lag. (Euphorbiaceae) and Malvastrum coromandelianum (L.) Garcke subsp. coromandelianum (Malvaceae) whereas Cardiospermum microcarpum (Kunth) Blume (Sapindaceae) is here reported for the first time in the country. Photographic evidence, distribution maps, and taxonomic notes are provided for each taxon. In addition, voucher herbarium specimens were prepared and deposited at the national herbarium (RAB) of the Scientific Institute in Rabat.

On the presence of Cotoneaster tomentosus (Aiton) Lindl. in the province of Ciudad Real (Spain)
type: item
description: In this paper, we report a new record of Cotoneaster tomentosus in the province of Ciudad Real (Castile-La Mancha), which is the southernmost record of this species in the Iberian Peninsula. Given the difficulty in determining the taxonomic assignment of some species in the genus, a morphological study and a molecular sequencing study have been conducted to accurately identify this species. Both studies confirm the identity of this new individual as C. tomentosus. In addition, data on its ecology and measures for its conservation are provided, as it is a species included in the Regional Catalogue of Threatened Species of Castile-La Mancha.

New contributions to the knowledge of charophytes in south-western Spain
type: item
description: Sampling of charophytes (Characeae family) in locations in South-western Spain (marshlands and temporary brackish lakes in Doñana National Park, Malaga, Seville and Badajoz), as well as germination tests in laboratory conditions using sediment, have revealed 16 new findings regarding charophyte algae in Spain. Of particular relevance are the taxa described for the Campillos and Utrera Lagoon Complex and the province of Badajoz. New locations are described for Doñana NP. The information corresponds to three different genera of charophytes: Chara (4 species), Lamprothamnium (1) and Nitella (2). All this highlights the interest of these particular habitats.

First record of Teucrium aristatum Pérez Lara (Lamiaceae) in Portugal
type: item
description: The annual Teucrium aristatum is reported from Portugal for the first time. Two isolated populations, composed of flowering and fruiting individuals, were found in small, seasonally flooded depressions in the municipality of Tavira, Algarve, in late spring of 2022, extending the known distribution of this globally rare species ca. 120 km westward. Total numbers fluctuated considerably in the last three consecutive years but are estimated to range between 250–1000 individuals. Due to its very limited distribution, single location and ongoing habitat loss, T. aristatum qualifies as regionally Critically Endangered in Portugal under criteria B1ab(iii)+2ab(iii).
