Karyological studies on Spanish Boraginaceae: Lithospermum L. sensu lato

LUQUE, T. & VALDES, B., 1984. Karyological studies on Spanish Boraginaceae: Lithospenum L. sensu lato. All of the Spanish taxa of Lithospermum L. sensu lato (Lithospermum sensu stricto, Neatostema, Buglossoides and Lithodora), with the exception of Buglossoides gartonii (Bentham) I. M. Johnston, have been studied karyologically. The karyological characters allow the separation of three groups which do not correspond exactly with the morphological limits of the four genera actually recognized for Spain within Lithospermum sensu lato. Se estudian cariologicamente los taxones espanoles de Lithospermum L. sensu lato (Lithospennum sensu stricto, Neatostema, Buglossoides y Lithodora), salvo Buglossoides gastonii (Bentham) I. M. Johnston. Por los caracteres cariologicos se pueden separar tres grupos cuyos limites no coinciden exactamente con los de los cuatro generos actualrnente reconocidos para Espana dentro de Lithospcnum sensu lato.
