Abstract

This work reports the first population of Nymphaea × marliacea ‘Rosea’ in the wild in the Iberian Peninsula. The population is the southernmost known so far in Europe and is located under the warmest climate type of all European populations of N. × marliacea. Nymphaea × marliacea is an artificial hybrid raised by J. B. Latour-Marliac at the end of the 19th century. Identification of the species was faced by molecular techniques and based on morphological characters. Molecular techniques did not allow to conclude about its identity, surely due to errors in the assignation of sequences recorded in GenBank. Nomenclatural and taxonomic issues are discussed and information about ecological features is reviewed.
