Notas sobre Limonium (Plumbaginaceae) en el Noroeste Ibérico, I: Limonium serpentinicum, Nueva Especie

Abstract

As part of the ongoing investigation on the group that includes Limonium binervosum (G. E. Sm.) C. E. Salmon in the northwestern Iberian Peninsula, a new species (L. serpentinicum R. Pino, F. J. Silva-Pando & J. J. Pino) is described here. It is characterized by its small size, the occurrence of abundant epidermal glands along the stem, the acuminate outer bracts, and the very narrow internal bracts, and known for its tendency to grow on serpentine substrates.
