A new species of Narcissus sect. Apodanthi (Amaryllidaceae) from the western Iberian Peninsula

Abstract

Plant studies in Extremadura (Spain) have traditionally lagged behind those of neighbouring regions, particularly Andalusia and Castile. Only a handful of 19th and early 20th century scholars dealing with the flora of Spain stayed shortly in the region (see Devesa & Ruiz 1988 for a review). A cause of this delay may be regional geologic and ecologic homogeneity: large stretches of acidic substrates sustain an overall low plant biodiversity (Devesa 1995), often considered as a mere subset of the richer and better studied plant communities that cover western Andalusia or the Gredos massif in the northeast, at the border to Castile. Extremadura’s economic marginality, manifested in a secular scarcity of infrastructures, has further hampered botanical exploration. For instance, Gandoger believed his 1904 collections to be the first ever sampled in the Sierra de Gata (at the westernmost northern Extremadura; Gandoger 1909a: 110). In fact, the Sierra de Gata was hardly visited by any botanist until the 1980s (but see Rivas Goday & Borja 1948), when work by members of the Botany Department of the University of Salamanca resulted in a PhD thesis (Valdés Franzi, unpubl.) and a series of papers about its flora (Ladero et al. 1981; Valdés Franzi 1983, 1984a, b, 1985a, b).

Introduction
Plant studies in Extremadura (Spain) have traditionally lagged behind those of neighbouring regions, particularly
Andalusia and Castile. Only a handful of 19th and early 20th century scholars dealing with the flora of Spain stayed
shortly in the region (see Devesa & Ruiz 1988 for a review). A cause of this delay may be regional geologic and
ecologic homogeneity: large stretches of acidic substrates sustain an overall low plant biodiversity (Devesa 1995),
often considered as a mere subset of the richer and better studied plant communities that cover western Andalusia
or the Gredos massif in the northeast, at the border to Castile. Extremadura’s economic marginality, manifested in a
secular scarcity of infrastructures, has further hampered botanical exploration. For instance, Gandoger believed his
1904 collections to be the first ever sampled in the Sierra de Gata (at the westernmost northern Extremadura; Gandoger
1909a: 110). In fact, the Sierra de Gata was hardly visited by any botanist until the 1980s (but see Rivas Goday &
Borja 1948), when work by members of the Botany Department of the University of Salamanca resulted in a PhD
thesis (Valdés Franzi, unpubl.) and a series of papers about its flora (Ladero et al. 1981; Valdés Franzi 1983, 1984a,
b, 1985a, b).
Within the botanical literature of northern Extremadura, daffodils (Narcissus) have attracted much attention (see
Rivas Mateos 1922, Pérez Chiscano 1983, Vázquez et al. 2009, Vázquez 2013). Species diversity in Narcissus peaks
in the western Iberian Peninsula and Morocco and decreases eastwards in the Mediterranean Region, with 25 species
in Spain (Aedo 2003) versus 2 wild species in Turkey (Davis 1984). Despite their attractiveness, Narcissus species are
poorly collected. The plants are difficult to sample and desiccate due to their bulbs and a resistant epidermis, and as
many other bulbous monocots yield poor vouchers when pressed, where important characters such as three-dimensional
structure of corolla and flower colour are lost when dry. Moreover, plants bloom typically synchronously and early,
outside the main sampling season for most botanists; while later in spring homogeneity in fruit traits masks diversity
in sampling sites. This combination of natural and historical factors may explain why a new species of Narcissus can
be found only 150 km away of one of the main centres of plant science in Spain, the University of Salamanca.
During a botanical excursion to the Sierra de Gata, a population of daffodils clearly belonging to sect. Apodanthi,
but not unambiguously assignable to any described species was encountered. Narcissus section Apodanthi Fernandes
(1966: 241) includes 7(–8) diploid species from Spain, Portugal and Morocco (Blanchard 1990). This monophyletic,
early diverging clade (Marques et al. 2017) is morphologically characterized by bowl-shaped short coronas, keeled
leaves of trapezoidal cross-section and seeds possessing a strophiole. Narcissus species are prone to hybridization
and at least one species of sect. Apodanthi is believed to be of hybrid origin (N. calcicola Mendonça 1927: 1253, cf.
Marques et al. 2017). Daffodils of section Apodanthi are overall rare plants. Several species like N. rupicola Dufour
ex Schult. & Schult. fil. in Roemer & Schultes (1830: 958) or N. cuatrecasasii Fernández Casas et al. (1973: 4)
grow in rock crevices, while others, such as N. scaberulus Henriques (1888: 45), require undisturbed habitats and are
incompatible with forestry cultures and husbandry, its most acute threats. In this paper, we show evidence that the
population in the Sierra de Gata is consistently morphologically and ecologically differentiated from other members of
sect. Apodanthi, warranting its recognition at specific level.

Materials and methods
Flowering individuals were photographically documented in situ and collected alive for later desiccation using a
standard heat press. Surrounding vegetation was sampled and inventoried accordingly. The population was visited
again later in spring for fruit and seed collection. Herbarium vouchers were deposited at Herbarium W and duplicates
sent to HSS, MA, SALA and UNEX. Herbarium vouchers representing all Iberian members of section Apodanthi held
in herbaria MA and W were photographed at 24 megapixel using a Canon EOS 80D SLR camera and a Canon macro
100 mm 2.8 L objective; images were later analysed in Photoshop CS6 (Adobe Systems Incorporated 2000).
Plant morphology was exhaustively recorded according to the last revision (Aedo 2003). Quantitative characters
of taxonomic interest were recorded in a Past spreadsheet (Hammer et al. 2001) for 258 flowers of 117 individuals
belonging to all Iberian species of sect. Apodanthi (see Annex). Characters included (i) measurements of plant size,
leaf dimensions, scape length, number of flowers per inflorescence, flower pedicel length (FPl), ovary length (Ol) and
width (Ow), spathe length (Sl), corolla tube length (Tul), tepal (Tel, Tew) and corona (Cl, Cw) dimensions, fruit pedicel
length, and capsule and seed dimensions; (ii) ratios of Ol/Ow, Tul/Cl, Tu/Tel, Cw/Cl and Tel/Tew. Measurements
largely agreed with those reported by Aedo (2003) but were in general more variable. Qualitative characters were
recorded, namely leaf colour and epidermis ornamentation, scape colour and ornamentation, and tepal, corona, capsule
and seed shape and colour.
Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) of FPl, Sl, Tul and the ratios Ol/Ow, Tul/Cl, Tu/Tel, Cw/Cl and Tel/Tew
was performed in Past (Hammer et al. 2001), using Euclidean similarity index and a transformation exponent of c=2.

Etymology:—The species is named after the Austrian botanist Ernst Vitek, curator and later head of the Botany
department at the herbarium W for 25 years (1993–2018).
Distribution, habitat, phenology:—Narcissus vitekii is endemic to the Sierra de Gata range of the Spanish
Central System. It occurs in clearings of oak (Quercus pyrenaica Willdenow (1805: 451) forests above 600 m, on
sandy and schistose acidic soils. It flowers in March and April, and sets fruit in May and June.

Conservation status:—Narcissus vitekii is known from four populations outside of any protected area. The
largest population in San Martín de Trevejo consists of thousands of vigorous individuals found within a large cattle
estate, where the plant is directly threatened by overgrazing (the plant is eaten by cattle) and by habitat loss, should
the current use of the area be changed. Given the charisma of Narcissus species and their ease of culture, another
possible threat is population plundering by illegal collectors. Following the IUCN 3.1 (2001), this plant species could
be considered Endangered [EN,B2a,C] in a preliminary conservation statement.
FIGURE 1. Iberian species of Narcissus sect. Apodanthi
Notes:—Narcissus vitekii is clearly a member of section Apodanthi on grounds of its keeled leaves of trapezoidal
section and its seeds possessing a strophiole (for a comparison of characters of taxonomic interest see Table 1). As
indicated by our ordination analysis (Fig. 3) and the qualitative morphological comparison with closely related species
(Fig. 1), N. vitekii flowers most closely resemble N. cuatrecasasii, a rupicolous species from limestone outcrops of the
southeastern Iberian Peninsula, thus being separated by a gap of more than 500 km. Narcissus vitekii is similar to it in
overall morphology, but smaller in all its parts including a much shorter flower pedicel and an elliptical ovary instead
of globose. Narcissus vitekii possesses a slightly curved corolla tube, completely odorless flowers and an elliptical

GARCÍA
146 • Phytotaxa 345 (2) © 2018 Magnolia Press
ovary, whereas N. cuatrecasasii has a corolla tube that is always straight, intensely scented flowers and a globose
ovary. Narcissus rupicola, another related species, is sympatric with N. vitekii but clearly differentiated by its overall
more robust habit, green leaves with smooth epidermis, scented flowers, a longer and straight corolla tube, larger
patent tepals, and the larger, wider, funnel-shaped and profoundly lobed undulate corona.

FIGURE 3. Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) of three morphological characters and the ratios of seven further ones (see text).
Coordinates 1 (Eigenvalue=7650.9) and 2 (Eigenvalue=5047.7) accounted for 39.76 and 26.23% of the variability. Fig. 3A, scatter plot
with convex hulls. Fig. 3B, 95% ellipses.
Despite the quantitative floral morphology gap (Fig. 3), the vegetative morphology of N. vitekii is more closely
resembling that of N. scaberulus than any of the other representatives of sect. Apodanthi with solitary flowers. The
scabrid leaf margins covered with minute silica processes is shared by both species, but the ornamentation of the
epidermis is more intense in N. vitekii, with spike-like processes visible with ordinary loupe present not only along leaf
margins but also on nerves and keels of both leaves and scape. Moreover, N. vitekii is completely glabrous whereas

GARCÍA
148 • Phytotaxa 345 (2) © 2018 Magnolia Press
the leaves of N. scaberulus often bear hairs. Nevertheless, indumentum is variable within the latter species (Aedo
2003) and further morphological screening would be needed. Young or depauperated individuals of N. scaberulus
can bear solitary flowers too, but they still differ from N. vitekii by long pedicels that are strongly accrescent during
anthesis and fruit ripening, an asymmetrically elliptical ovary tapering into the pedicel, and unambiguously smaller
flower parts. Narcissus calcicola, very similar to N. scaberulus but more robust, glaucous and often lacking epidermal
ornamentation, is quantitatively the most dissimilar species to N. vitekii within sect. Apodanthi, as can be seen in our
ordination analysis (Fig. 3) and the overall morphology plate (Fig. 1).
