11. La homonimia de Carici sylvaticae-Fagetum

El nombre Carici sylvaticae-Fagetum (sylvaticae) (Rivas-Martínez 1965) C. Navarro 1982 [Contribución al estudio de la flora y la vegetación del Duranguesado y la Busturia (Vizcaya): 81-82. Ed. Univ. Complutense, Madrid] fue propuesto para designar los hayedos basófilos de territorios orocantábricos y cántabro-euskaldunes, en sustitución del ilegítimo (Art. 34) Melico (uniflorae)-Fagetum cantabricum Rivas-Martínez 1965 [Anales Inst. Bot. Cavanilles 22: 383].

12. On the nomenclature of the western Orocantabrian evergreen-oak forests

The syntaxonomical separation of two associations of evergreen-oak forests in the Cantabrian mountain range (Orocantabrian and Cantabrian-Atlantic biogeographical Provinces) has recently been contemplated.

Contribution to the knowledge of the Stipa-tenacissima Iberian grasslands (All. Stipion tenacissimae)

A syntaxonomic revision of the Iberian "espartales" -dry grasslands dominated by Stipa tenacissima L.- is reoprted. Nomenclatural types as well as floristic, ecologic, dynamic and biographic data  (Stipion tenacissimae, Lygeo-Stipetalia, Lygeo Stipetea) is described for the thermophilous Alcoian espartales, and the name Heteropogono conforti-Stipeton tenacissimae is also validated for the thermophilous Valencian-Tarraconensian ones.

New wild Brassica oleracea L. germplasm at its western distribution limit in the Iberian Peninsula

An exploration and collection mission for wild Brassica oleracea populations was carried out in spring and summer of 2013. The aim of this collection was to expand the number of accessions of wild Brassica oleracea available for basic and applied research in plant breeding. In this paper we report a new accession of wild Brassica oleracea in an unexplored coastal area of Galicia, NW Iberian Peninsula. Details of population ecology and vegetation, soil, climate and geographic data were recorded for this population. The “Endangered” threat category for the region is proposed, and actions for in situ and ex situ conservation are proposed. Seeds will be added to the germplasm collections of University of Santiago de Compostela and Misión Biológica de Galicia (CSIC) for further research on diverse aspects of the dynamics and ecophysiology of the population along with characterization and evaluation of useful traits.

Phytogeographic characterization of Gran Canaria Island (Canary Islands-Spain)

Studies on the flora and fauna of the Canary Islands show that this Archipelago is one of the planet’s diversity hot spots. However, an analysis of the differences in the phytogeographic characteristics of each of the islands that make up this Archipelago is lacking. This article focuses on the phytogeographic characterization of the island of Gran Canaria. This island exhibits geological and climatic characteristics resulting in a rich vascular flora, including endemic species and genera that are significantly different from the other islands of the Archipelago. These differences are verified through statistical analysis of the existing similarity between the floras of the members of the Canary Islands. This study also analyses the subdivision of Gran Canaria Island, indicating that there are three well-differentiated areas on the island itself. Finally, this study argues that these areas, themselves, should be considered biogeographic sectors.

Validations of high-rank syntaxa in Potamogetonetea and Scheuchzerio-Caricetea fuscae

This paper presents the validation of five syntaxonomic concepts –two orders (Callitricho hamulatae-Ranunculetalia aquatilis, Zannichellietalia pedicellatae) and three alliances (Ranunculion aquatilis, Nelumbion nuciferae and Caricion viridulo-trinervis).

Descriptions and validation of the names of some high-rank syntaxa in the European Asplenietea trichomanis and Polypodietea

The paper presents the description of one new order (Asplenietalia septentrionalo-cuneifolii) and two new alliances (Arenarion bertolonii and Physoplexido comosae- Saxifragion petraeae). In addition, the syntaxon Asplenietalia lanceolato-obovati is here formally raised to the order level and the name Hypno-Polypodietalia vulgaris is validated.
