Abstract and Figures

The specific parasite of Lactuca (Compositae) described in 2005 from the Iberian Peninsula as Phelipanche inexspectata (Orobanchaceae) and known so far in northeastern Spain and southern France, is shown to also occur in mountain areas of northern Africa, where it had been previously described under the neglected name Phelipanche cernua. Given the recent proposal to consider the aforementioned Lactuca parasite a mere variant of Phelipanche schultzii, we stress the neat differences between both species.

An annotated Checklist of the Vascular Plants of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula)
... Domina et al. (2013) have proposed the same specimen as lectotype. The designation by Carlón et al. (2013) has priority over that by Domina et al. (2013). Recently Rätzel et al. (2018) consider that the taxon described by Beck (1890) from "montem Sinai [Mount Sinai, Sinai Peninsula, Egypt]" is not related to Phelipanche mutelii and, furthermore, raised it to the rank of species. ...

PHYTOTAXA MONOGRAPH. The species of holoparasitic genera from the family Orobanchaceae have a specific lifestyle associated with the host, greatly reduced vegetative organs, very variable features and quickly lose their color, resulting in difficulties and mistakes in identification. This study represents the first comprehensive monograph of 36 species from the four holoparasitic genera, Cistanche, Diphelypaea, Phelipanche and Orobanche (Orobanchaceae), in Armenia. This country, as a part of the Caucasus, is one of the most important biodiversity centers in the world, a diversity which includes rich and insufficiently understood holoparasitic plants. Our investigations were based on five years of field work in the Caucasus, and complemented by examination of ca. 1200 herbarium sheets with ca. 3000 specimens from 37 herbaria. We present information on distribution, list of localities, habitat, phenology, host range, taxonomic clarification, illustrations and descriptions for problematic ones, images from the field, proposals for new synonymisations, new combination Phelipanche cernua subsp. sinaica (Beck) Piwow., Ó. Sánchez & Moreno Mor., 20 lectotypes, two epitypes, one neotype are designated here, as well as a key and geospatial conservation assessments for all species based on IUCN criteria.
... Nomenclature of Orobanche and related genera is a very topical issue and several contributions have been published in the last years (e.g. Foley 2001;Domina et al. 2005Domina et al. , 2013Domina & Mazzola 2011;Pujadas 2007;Carlón et al. 2008Carlón et al. , 2011Carlón et al. , 2013Carlón et al. , 2015Domina & Štěpánek 2009). ...

Phelipanche sevanensis (Orobanchaceae) is described as a new species from the Lesser Caucasus in Armenia. It grows on steep rocky slopes around Lake Sevan in semi-arid mountain steppe communities, where it parasitises Heracleum trachyloma, a Caucasian endemic. A detailed description, illustrations, and a comparison with the most similar species, especially P. heldreichii, are provided. We also present nomenclatural notes about P. coelestis, P. hohenackeri, P. persica and P. simplex. Three lectotypes are designated, and two new combinations are proposed.

A LA VENTA en www.JOLUBE.es // Este libro es la primera recopilación moderna que recoge todas las plantas vasculares que viven en la Comunidad Autónoma de Cantabria. ATENCIÓN, NO ES UNA GUÍA FOTOGRÁFICA. En la introducción se da una amplia reseña histórico-botánica y se explica detalladamente la organización del catálogo. La segunda parte se dedica a la descripción geográfica y climática, haciendo hincapié en la descripción fitogeográfica de Cantabria. La parte principal del libro corresponde al catálogo florístico, que consta de 2321 táxones (incluye subespecies e híbridos; 2650 si añadimos los alóctonos subespontáneos). Para cada taxon se da, tras el nombre admitido en negrita, un listado de sus sinónimos principales. Se aportan datos de ecología, y para muchos táxones su filiación fitosociológica. Se explica su corología general y su distribución aproximada en Cantabria mediante una sectorización, aportando su rango altitudinal y el grado de abundancia. Se dan un listado de citas previas (incluyendo su presencia en herbarios). En muchas ocasiones se aporta un listado de localidades inéditas, y se especifican las novedades florísticas para Cantabria. En este trabajo también se han recogido con detalle los táxones alóctonos a los que se les asigna una tipología (naturalizado, invasor, subespontáneo/adventicio y posiblemente autóctono). Tras el catálogo general se aporta como novedad en este tipo de trabajos, un listado de plantas cultivadas. Le sigue la habitual síntesis florística tras la que se dedica un espacio al listado de nombres comunes regionales. El último capítulo abarca la flora protegida en los diversos niveles administrativos y flora la amenazada. La obra finaliza con los correspondientes apartados dedicados a la amplia bibliografía consultada y un completo índice de familias, especies, y nombres comunes.

This is the eighth of a series of miscellaneous contributions, by various authors, where hitherto unpublished data relevant to both the Med-Checklist and the Euro+Med (or Sisyphus) projects are presented. This instalment deals with the families Ophioglossaceae, Amaryllidaceae (incl. Alliaceae), Asparagaceae (incl. Hyacinthaceae), Caryophyllaceae, Compositae, Gramineae, Juncaceae, Malvaceae, Myrtaceae, Orobanchaceae, Papaveraceae and Scrophulariaceae. It includes new country and area records and taxonomic and distributional considerations for taxa in Alcea, Allium, Botrychium, Bromus, Cerastium, Chamaemelum, Crepis, Ehrharta, Erigeron, Eucalyptus, Juncus, Lactuca, Limosella, Matricaria, Ornithogalum, Orobanche, Papaver and Phelipanche, as well as new combinations in Ornithogalum and Phelipanche.

In the framework of the revision of the genus Orobanche (including Phelipaea) in the Mediterranean area, the original material for 31 names of new taxa described from North Africa by Ball, Battandier, Forsskål, Maire (partly with Emberger and Jahandiez), Persoon, Poiret and Pomel has been analysed. Typification is discussed, and where necessary types are designated. Accepted names and synonyms of the recognized taxa are given. Three species are illustrated, and one new combination (O. inexspectata) is proposed.

We present various contributions about 21 taxa of Orobanche s. str. and Phelipanche. The two newly described species Phelipanche georgii-reuteri sp. nov. and Ph. inexspectata sp. nov. are, as far as we know, Iberian endemisms. The two very insufficiently known and often neglected species Orobanche grenieri F. W. Schultz and O. ozanonis F. W. Schultz ex Beck are recorded for the Iberian Peninsula for the first time. The latter species has been rediscovered in its locus classicus et unicus 139 years after its description, and has been additionally found in a second French locality. The distributional range of O. lycoctoni Rhiner, which is highly disjunct between the Picos de Europa and the eastern Swiss Alps, is in the Picos larger than initially thought. O. flava Mart. ex F. W. Schultz, which appears to be less akin to the precedent species than expected, does not reach the Pyrenees. An important clarification is provided on the taxonomic relationships between O. densiflora Salzm. ex Reut. and the presumed O. crinita var. occidentalis M. J. Y. Foley. The obligatory lectotypification of a neglected prioritary specific name leads to a new combination for the species known as Phelipanche tunetana (= Orobanche tunetana): Phelipanche reuteriana (Rchb. fil.) transl. nov. Huge and unexpected additions to the distributional range of Ph. portoilicitana (A. Pujadas & M. B. Crespo) transl. nov. are reported. Further chorological, taxonomical or photographical contributions are presented for Phelipanche nana (F. W. de Noë ex Reut.) Soják, Ph. lavandulacea (Rchb.) Pomel, Ph. schultzii (Mutel) Pomel, Ph. purpurea (Jacq.) Soják, Orobanche cernua L., O. crenata Forssk., O. alba Stephan ex Willd., O. picridis F. W. Schultz, O. artemisiae-campestris Vaucher ex Gaudin, O. haenseleri Reut. and O. elatior Sutton. In a final Appendix, an ITS analysis of 137 mainly Palearctic accessions gives support to some of our taxonomic viewpoints.
