7. On the priority of "Genistion purgantis" Tüxen in Tüxen & Oberdorfer 1958 and "Senecioni-Genistetum purgantis" Tüxen & Oberdorfer 1958

In a recent review of which we were co-authors (Rivas-Martínez, Belmonte, Cantó, Fernández-González, Fuente, Moreno, Sánchez-Mata & Sancho, Lazaroa 7: 93-124. 1987), rejection of names Genistion purgantis Túxen in Túxen & Oberdorfer 1958 [Veróff. Geobot. Inst. Rúbel Zúrich 32: 228] and Senecio tournefortii-Genistapurgans Ass. Túxen & Oberdorfer 1958 [op. cit.: 229-230] versus Pino-Cytision purgantis Rivas-Martínez 1964 [Anales lnst. Bot. Cavanilles 22: 358] and Junipero nanae-Sarothamnetum purgantis Rivas-Martínez 1963 [Anales Inst. Bot. Cavanilles 21(1): 172-186] respectively, was proposed and adopted.

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.

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.

La otra Ley de Foucault. Una lectura crítica

Few studies have addressed the relationship between law and power in the works of Michel Foucault. Some authors emphasize that law performs a completely secondary role in the diagram of power of modernity, while others argue that there is a close link between power relations and the law. Foucault's Law by Golden and Fitzpatrick aims to renew these discussions and reconstruct another law of Foucault. In this paper I make a critical reading of this work, highlighting the faulty presentation that the authors carried out of the works of Foucault.

La crítica de Plotino a la concepción aristotélica del tiempo en "En". III 7

El presente trabajo intenta mostrar de qué manera Plotino refuta la noción aristotélica del tiempo como «número» o «medida del movimiento», cuáles son las aporías que plantea, cómo las compulsa con sus propios argumentos y qué soluciones propone con respecto a esa misma confrontación. Todo esto será encauzado a partir de un estudio descriptivo y analítico, acompañado de una lectura a la vez hermenéutica y crítica de los textos seleccionados para esta ocasión.
