“…Molecular population genetic or phylogenetic investigations are contributing to more refined insights into the population biology and systematics of endemics in several archipelagos (e.g. Crawford et al, 1987;Baldwin et al, 1991;Francisco-Ortega et al, 1996;Carine et al, 2004;Nuez et al, 2004;Ruiz et al, 2004;Moore et al, 2006;Archibald et al, 2006;Oliva-Tejera et al, 2006;Díaz-Pé rez et al, 2008;Maunder et al, 2008;Andrus et al, 2009;Gonzá lez-Pé rez et al, 2009). Currently, a sample of the endemic flora of Garajonay National Park (La Gomera, Canaries) is being used to test the potential usefulness of cpDNA sequences in complementing morphological variables for the identification of the whole Canarian Flora (Caujapé -Castells et al, 2007a, b).…”
