research in Portugal, as well as the role of our researchers in increasing knowledge of European and global flora.
💐Congratulations to the authors for their scientific rigor and for this further contribution to science and to the international recognition of Portuguese botany.
The technical article, published in a scientific journal of Harvard University, presents morphological diagnoses, distribution data, and taxonomic criteria that justify the distinction of Euphorbia vincentina as a new sp. . This contribution reinforces the relevance of taxonomic work and botanical
Its occurrence is known only in SW Portugal, which reinforces the "threatened" conservation status assigned and underlines the importance of the region as a true hotspot of botanical biodiversity in the Iberian context.
This new sp. is morphologically distinguished by its stature, striking flowers, and a very specific ecology to the habitats it occupies.
The SPBotânica is pleased to share the description of a new species for Science, recently published by Jorge Capelo and Udo Schwarzer. This is Euphorbia vincentina Schwarzer & Capelo ("maleiteira-da-costa-vicentina") an endemic plant of SW Portugal, discovered in the coastal areas of this region. 📄
O artigo que confirma oficialmente a presença da espécie em território nacional pode ser consultado aqui: revistas.uma.es/index.php/ab...
A espécie foi descoberta por João Neiva e Duarte Frade no concelho de Tavira, no Algarve, onde ocorre em solos argilosos temporariamente alagados. Distingue-se de todas as outras espécies de #Teucrium em Portugal por ser a única espécie anual com flores violetas azuladas e cálices aristados.
Nova espécie para a Flora de Portugal!
Foi recentemente assinalada em #Portugal a presença de Teucrium aristatum, uma pequena planta anual rara que até agora só era conhecida de poucos locais em Espanha e França, e que é considerada ameaçada a nível global.

Nova espécie descrita em Portugal: Linaria almadensis — endémica das arribas do Gargalo do Tejo (Almada). Apesar de conhecida desde 1843, foi só agora reconhecida como espécie distinta por João Farminhão.

João Farminhão descobriu no Gargalo do Tejo, em Almada, uma planta única. Há poucas dezenas de exemplares desta linária: “É a planta mais almadense à face da Terra.”

It grows only on sandy cliff faces and terraces near carbonate rocks. L. almadensis differs from L. supina and L. polygalifolia by its narrowly elliptic to oblanceolate leaves with blunt tips and its flower coloration: upper petals white-yellowish, palate yellow-orange, and spur often tinged violet.
A new #toadflax endemic to Almada (#Portugal) !!!
A new species, Linaria almadensis, has been described from the cliffs of Gargalo do Tejo, in Almada, just across from Lisbon. Although first collected in 1843, it was only recently recognized as distinct by João Farminhão during a taxonomic revision.

🔍It is easily confused with Cirsium filipendulum, which may have been one reason for its lack of recognition until now.
The discovery was made by João Lourenço 💐 in July 2024, and a specimen is deposited in the #herbarium of the #UniversityofSeville.
🌸New species for Portuguese flora 📖 🌿
🥾Cirsium tuberosum was discovered in #Portugal, in the highlands of #Montalegre, a thistle whose existence in Portugal was previously unknown.💮
The species is still only known from a few subpopulations, all in the same region, inhabiting wetlands and marshes.🏞️

The cover image features a volume rendering reconstructed from an X-ray microcomputed tomography scan, depicting the glochidiate, epizoochorous, eremocarpic fruit of the widespread Lappula squarrosa (Retz.) Dumort. Boraginales exhibit remarkable diversity in fruit morphology, ranging from dehiscent capsules to various indehiscent fruits, with dispersal units differing in seed and pericarp integration (e.g., mericarpids, endomericarpids). In this issue, Vasile et al. focus on the systematics of Boraginales using the Angiosperms353 probe set and anatomical and ontogenetic data of fruits. The rendering was created using Dragonfly version 2022.1. [See Vasile et al., pp. 77—97.] (Image credit: Maria-Anna Vasile. Copyright: Bonn Institute of Organismic Biology.)
