Taxonomy and distribution of the genus Rubus (Rosaceae) series Radula on the Iberian Peninsula

Abstract

Monasterio‐Huelin. E. 1995. Taxonomv and distribution of the genus Rubus (Rosaceae) series Radulu on the Iberian Peninsula. — Nord. J. Bot. 15: 365–373. Copenhagen. ISSN 0107–055X.The majority of european batologists currently interpret the ser. Radula in a sense different from that given by its original author. According to the modem concept, this series is separated into two, distinguished by the leaflets felted beneath (ser. Radula) versus not felted (ser. Pallidi). Following this criterion, we include 7 species in ser. Radula, one of which (R. pauanus) is described as new, and provide a photograph of the holotype, an analysis of pollen, and a distribution map. Also provided are keys to the series of the subgenus Rubus and to the species of the ser. Radula, and a comparative study from a morphological and biogeographical perspective of all species which comprise this series on the Iberian Peninsula.
