13Inventorying, characterising and conserving on-farm ancient olive trees is a priority for 14 safeguarding their genetic, natural and agricultural value and for protecting ancient 15 genotypes threatened with extinction. In the "Taula del Sénia" (M-TdS) area (northeast 16 Iberian Peninsula) a highly important cultural landscape has been preserved, in which 17 the olive groves play an outstanding social and economic role: the ancient olive trees, 18 sustained by many local farmers, constitute a living heritage and provide a clear 19 example of High Nature Value (HNV). A total of 4,526 ancient productive olive trees, 20 with a trunk circumference (PBH) larger than 3.5 m, were inventoried and their spatial 21 localization and biometric measurements were collected. 41 olive trees have shown the 22 highest category in monumentality (PBH>8.1 m). The outstanding trees might be 634-23 1082 years old. The endocarp morphology of a representative sample of the most 24 ancient trees from this settlement resulted in 14 different profiles. The ancient trees 25 genotyped, through eight simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, revealed 43 SSR 26 profiles. The use of SSR enabled us to verify that most of the trees (98%) belong to the 27 local cv. 'Farga', a male sterile variety with a rare chlorotype, only a few trees 28 corresponded with other local varieties, 'Morrut', 'Canetera' and 'Sevillenca', and ten 29 hitherto unidentified genotypes were distinguished, some with chloroplast lineages 30 different from the 'Farga' type. The M-TdS area holds a unique living and exploitable 31 heritage with the highest concentration of ancient olive trees worldwide. On-farm 32 conservation of this germplasm by the community of local growers is enabling 33 preservation of this important source of genetic variation, potentially holding traits of 34 resilience and adaptation to adverse soil and climatic conditions, demonstrated by the 35 survival of these trees over the centuries. Farmers have undertaken initiatives to valorize 36 the olive oil deriving from these M-TdS trees.37 38
Con las observaciones de los últimos años en el este de la península ibérica (concretamente en Cataluña, País Valenciano y la provincia de Teruel), se aportan un conjunto de datos corológicos de 41 plantas alóctonas naturalizadas u ocasionales. Cabe destacar Annona cherimola y Manihot grahamii que se citan por primera vez en la flora ibérica; Echinopsis pachanoi y Hydrocotyle verticillata para Cataluña; Solandra maxima en el País Valenciano. Se tiene que excluir Opuntia pestifer de la flora valenciana, ya que se confirma que las citas anteriores corresponden a Opuntia aurantiaca. Además, se aportan nuevas localidades de Acacia karroo, Cylindropuntia kleiniae, Euphorbia tirucalli, Leucaena leucocephala, Lophocereus marginatus, Nicandra physalodes, Pelargonium inquinans, Physalis peruviana, Podranea ricasoliana, Sedum pachyphyllum, Senna corymbosa, Tradescantia pallida y Tradescantia sillamontana, táxones interesantes y poco conocidos en la flora alóctona del este ibérico.

Micromeria rodriguezii es una especie endémica de las Islas Baleares (Mediterráneo occidental). Una población de esta especie se ha encontrado en la provincia de Castellón (España), en el margen de un camino forestal. Se proporciona un estudio de la morfología de las plantas de esta población, así como su estado de conservación en la Comunidad Valenciana. Debido a que esta es la única población ibérica conocida hasta el momento, se debe elaborar un plan de manejo y conservación para garantizar su conservación.
Some aspects concerning the typification of the Linnaean name Satureja graeca, basionym of Micromeria graeca (Lamiaceae) are discussed. This name had previously been “typified” by Siddiqi in 1985 from a specimen kept at LINN, and also later by Morales in 1991 from another specimen preserved in the same Linnaean herbarium. However, it is not sure that these specimens are part of Linnaeus’s original material so neither cannot be considered a lectotype. An illustration published by Morison in 1699 and cited by Linnaeus in the protologue of Satureja graeca is designated as the lectotype of the name.
