Lolium edwardii sp. nova (Gramineae) and its relationship with Schedonorus sect. Plantynia DUMORT.
With one Figure and one Map SummaryLolium edwardii, probably an endemic of the Canary Islands, is new to science. It differs clearly from L canuriense by means of morphological characters provided in a key, and of its ecological preferences and distribution patterns presented for the Island of El Hierro. The relationship to the genus Schedonorus P.BEAUV. is discussed.
Holcus mollis L. subsp. hierrensis (Poaceae), a new subspecies of El Hierro (Canary Islands), and some notes on the species With one Map and 5 Figures S u m m a r y HO~CLLS mollis L. subsp. hierrensis is new to science.Its distinct chamaephytic habit and particular features of the morphology of the spikelets, provided in a key, as well as its ecology allow a taxonomic separation from the otherwise similar subsp. mollis.A short survey of important facts about the species given in the literature is presented. The possible status of the new subspecies as a neoendemic of the island of El Hierro (Canaries) is discussed.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
