Abstract

Analyses of nrDNA and petN-PsbM sequence data, combined with leaf terpenes data, revealed that putative J. cedrus from Madeira is as distinct from J. cedrus of the Canary Islands as it is from J. oxycedrus. These data support the recognition of the Madeira juniper at the specific level, J. maderensis (Menezes) R. P. Adams comb. et stat. nov. Phytologia 92(1): 44-55 (April, 2010).
