Abstract: A new species of Fumana (DUNAL) SPACH subgenus Fumana, E fontqueri, is described from the

region of Rif, Morocco. Notes on its morphology, ecology, distribution and taxonomic relationships are presented. It differs from F procumbens (DUNAL) GREN. et GODR. and F baetica GUEEMES, by the indument of the stem, the disposition of pedicels, and the size of the flowers.

INTRODUCTION

Considering that the taxonomy of the genus Fumana (DUNAL) SPACH in the Western Mediterranean region is well-known due to recent studies (GUEMES & MOLERO 1993, GUEMEs & RAYNAUD 1991, MOLERO & RoviRA 1987, RAYNAUD 1992a,b), carrying out a revision of this genus for the floristic catalogue of Rif, I was surprised to find several specimens collected by Font Quer between 1929 and 1932, which could not be ascribed to any of tfie Mediterranean taxa of this genus. Most of these specimens had been collected by Font Quer in the summer of 1932 in the Lexhab. Previously, he had climbed to the peaks of Djebel Lexhab (= Djebel Kraa) in November 1929, and June and July 1930 (FoNT QUER 1931, GoNzALEZ BUENO 1988). Font Quer published a part of the floristic catalogue, described several new taxa and made comments on this territory, but did not mention any species of Fumana (cf. FoNT QUER 1931, 1935).

I studied the specimens of the genus Fumana collected by Font Quer and deposited in the herbarium of the Botanical Institute of Barcelona (BC). This material is well-preserved but it was collected a little too early, in the full-flowering stage, without fruits or seeds. The obvious differences between these specimens and all other Fumana that I know, stimulated my interest in completing a further detailed study.

During a recent excursion to North Africa, specimens in a more advanced stage of maturation were collected by E. Coy, so I was able to study the fruits and seeds as well. The new data completed the morphological description of this new taxon and supported its ranking as a new species of Fumana.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Herbarium specimens

The results presented here are based on the study of the plants in the field, and the examination of African specimens housed at the following herbaria (abbreviations according



364 J. Guemes

to HOLMGREN et al. 1990): BC, MA, MPU, SEV and VAL. Selected herbarium specimens are cited in the Appendix.

Since the origin of part of the specimens of F fontqueri deposited in BC is not specified, I should mention here my interpretation of this material. Apparently, there are two different collections. The first one has two different labels, one in Font Quer's hand, "Hauta Kasdir 30-VI-32", and the second, a new one, is a transcription of the first, "Hauta-el-Kasdir (Prop de Lechchab) 35?08'N, 5009'W, FoNT QUER 30-06-1932". There is no doubt regarding the origin of these specimens, since as mentioned above Font Quer visited this locality on these dates. The second collection is more doubtful. The specimens are very similar to the previous ones, the phenological stage is the same, but they lack the original labels. They have only a recent label of BC, which specifies: "Fumana trobades amb plantes d'abril del 1929 (sense etiqueta)" meaning "plants of Fumana found among plants of April of 1929 (without label)". It seems unlikely that they have been collected in April, the floral development is too advanced for such early collection (by comparison with Font Quer's collection from June 1932 and the recent one from June 1997 by E. Coy). Moreover, according to GONZALEZ BUENO (1988) and GONZALEZ BUENO & SISTANEt SALAS (1988) all the territories where Font Quer sampled in the spring and summer of 1929 are situated in the siliceous zone of Rif, and seem unlikely for a Fumana collection. In the autumn of 1929 Font Quer climbed Mt. Lexhab (see Introduction), but this time period seems too late for the collection of these plants in the flowering stage. It is much more likely that Font Quer found this material in the summer of 1928, when he visited Djebel Kelti, a calcareous mountain near Lexhab. Alternatively, these specimens may have belonged to the collection from 1932, but then may have been separated from the rest of it for study, and then got mixed with material from other excursions. I examined also these specimens in my study.

For the description of the new species, I studied thirty specimens and fragments that form Font Quer's collections in BC, and four specimens provided by E. Coy.

The palynological and micromorphological studies have been carried out mostly on material collected in June 1997. The main characters were compared with those of another species of Fumana published by GUEMES (1990) and by GUEMES & MATEu (1987, 1992).

Light microscopy

Pollen grains were extracted from dry, mature anthers of two flowers, mounted in Eukitt? and then examined. For the study of trichomes, leaf fragments were kept for 48 h in a saturated chloral hydrate solution for rehydration. The samples were then immersed for 2-4 h in a 30% sodium hypochlorite solution before preparing epidermal peals. In order to better observe the trichome structure, the epidermal peals were stained for 24 h with 1/100 Bismarck brown solution in 70% ethanol, as recommended by JOHANSEN (1940), and finally mounted in Eukitt?. The examination has been done under phase contrast.

Scanning electron microscopy

Pollen grains and seeds were isolated from mature anthers and fruits, respectively. The samples were sputter-coated with gold-paladium by standard procedures and then examined with a Hittachi scanning electron microscope, at the Electron Microscopy Service of the University of Valencia. In addition, the trichomes were dried at the critical point before sputtering. The hydrated samples (see above) were dehydrated by a progressive series of

ethanol. Before the substitution with carbon dioxide, isoamil acetate was used as an intermediate liquid, as recommended by COHEN (1984).

Ecology

Records on the ecology of F fontqueri were taken during the field collection in 1997 and completed with a literature survey (FONT QUER 1931, QUE2ZEL et al. 1988), which provided also data on its phytosociology.

Leaves alternate, sessile, linear, with subtriangular section, obtuse, mucronulate, not ciliate, not revolute, exstipulate, covered by multicellular simple, eglandular, appressed, white hairs and by glandular short hairs, concentrated on the margin of the leaves and more frequent on the upper leaves; the leaves of the sterile and basal fertile shoots small (2.5-4.5 x 0.5-0.7 mm), densely grouped; those of the upper fertile shoots a little larger (5-7.5 x 0.8-1 mm), densely grouped, scarcely diminishing towards the apices of the shoots. Flowers 26-28 mm in diameter, solitary, always lateral, sometimes apparently terminal, but always with a vegetative shoot at the end of the branch, extra-axillary, the subtending leaves not bract-shaped. Pedicels 13-15 x 0.5-0.6 mm, much longer (2-3 times) than the leaves, purple coloured, glabrous or scattered glabrescent, with dispersed multicellular hairs, not ciliate, ascendent not reflexed, accrescent in mature stage, erecto-patent. Outer sepals 2, of 3-4 x 1-1.2 mm, 2/3 shorter or less than the inner ones, narrow elliptic, acute, ciliate, mucronate. Inner sepals 3, of 10-12 x 5-6 mm, ovate-elliptic, purple coloured, with five pronounced, darker veins, glabrescent, with multicellular, appressed, white, scattered hairs, not ciliate on the veins, enclosing the fruit at mature stage. Petals 12-14 x 8-10 mm, yellow, with darker base, obcordate. Stamens numerous, filaments 5-6 x 0.3-0.4 mm. Ovary densely hispid on almost all surface, glabrous only at the base, style geniculate of 5 x 0.2 mm and stigma capitate, trilobate. Capsule ovoid-trigonous, shorter than the sepals which enclose it, loculicidally dehiscent, but valves not patent after dehiscence. Seeds 9 per capsule, black, dimorphic, finely tuberculate, embryo circinate. Dissemination barochorous, the seeds fall down already inside the fruits (Fig. 1).

The specimens examined have been collected at the end of June, in the flowering stage; therefore I hardly found one mature fruit on the plants collected in 1997.

Origin of the specific epithet The specific name "fontqueri" has been chosen in honour of Pio Font Quer (1888-1964),

Catalonian botanist, military pharmacist and chemist, founder and first director of the Botanical Institute of Barcelona. Indefatigable explorer of Morocco, and of Rif region especially, promoter of "Iter Maroccanum" (1927-1935).




Ecology Fumanafontqueri is a subrupicolous species occurring on moderate rocky slopes and also

in the fissures of dolomitic limestone rocks. It grows on altitudes between 1600 and 1900 m, in the supramediterranean thermotype of perhumid ombrotype. The species grows in shrubs of pulvinate chamaephytes of the alliance Pseudoscabioso grosii-Origanion grosii QUEZEL et al. 1988 (Ononido-Rosmarinetea; Rosmarinetalia; Rosmarino-Ericion) developed on openings in coniferous forest of Pinus nigra subsp. mauretanica (MAIRE et PEYERIMH.) HEYWOOD and Abies marocana TRABUT, on shallow accumulations of dolomitic material, on north-facing slopes. The new species may participate in the association Poo ligulatae-Ononidetum jahandiezii QUEZEL et al. 1988, described from the vicinity of Lexhab, which includes F procumbens (QUEZEL et al. 1988, Table 25, releve no. 11). This refers most probably to F fontqueri. The following taxa have been collected by E. Coy from the stands with E fontqueri: Linaria tristis subsp. pectinata (PAu et FoNT QUER) MARE (VAL 38273), Sedum tenuifolium (SM.) STROBL (VAL 38272), Alyssum serpyllifolium DESF. (VAL 38275), and Astragalus algerianus E. SHELD. (VAL 38274).

Distribution Fumana fontqueri was found in the southern-most extreme of the so-called "calcareous

dorsal of Rif", a dolomitic-limestone mountain range covering a territory from close to Ceuta to Xaouen, with a clear N-S orientation. This region has a strong relationship in its floristic composition with the Betic region from southern Spain, and it is rich in endemics (FoNT QUER 1931, QUEIZEL et al. 1988). This plant may grow in some of the other limestone high mountains of Western Rif, such as the Djebel Kelti.

Conservation Herbivores, especially domestic goats, have a strong impact on this plant, as they do on

other species of Fumana (GUEMES 1990). Overgrazing, which is very extensive in the mountains of Morocco, is the main factor of risk for this species. The goats destroy the flowers and fruits, which have pedicels longer than the leaves, thus exceeding the plants. Because of the loss of fruits and seeds, the populations undergo a premature senescence and the renewal of generations is difficult. All fresh or dried specimens examined were old and partly grazed.

According to the new IUCN categories, E fontqueri should be included among the species in danger of extinction. Its short-term survival can be reassured only by adequate means of protection, especially by avoiding the overgrazing of its populations.

Systematic position

The palynological characters demonstrate its taxonomical importance for the generic and infrageneric delimitation in Cistaceae (GUEMES & MATEU 1987, SAENz 1979, UKRAINTSEVA 1993). In E fontqueri, the pollen grain is oblate-spheroid, tricolporate (with subterminal colpi, covered by scattered remains of the sexine, and equatorial pores, not well defined), with exine 5 gm thick, and retipilate ornamentation (columels infratectal, narrowed at the base). Their dimensions are: P: 45-57 g,m (x=50 g,m); E: 47-65 gm (x=55 gm); P/E: 0.90 (Fig. 2, A-B). These characters put the new species in the subgenus Fumana of Fumana, next to, among others, E ericoides (CAV.) GAND., F ericifolia WALLR., F procumbens and F baetica (cf. GUEMES & MATEU 1987).

Also the dimorphic and finely tuberculate seeds (nine per capsule, with a circinate embryo; Fig. 2F) of F fontqueri are similar to those of the species of subgenus Fumana, and they confirm the supraspecific position of the new species (cf. GUEMES & MATEu 1992, GUEMES & MOLERO 1993).

In the genus Fumana, the indument characters are very constant for each species, and have been often used as a basis of taxonomical classifications (cf. COODE & DAVIS 1964, GUEMES 1990, GUEMES & MOLERO 1993, MOLERO & ROVIRA 1987). In F fontqueri three types of trichomes have been observed: (1) Bristly hairs, short, erect, translucent, acute, 65-120 ,um long, scattered on overlapping zones of the adjoining inner sepals of the flower buds, open flowers, and ovary (Fig. 2, E). (2) Multicellular hairs, 120-250 jim long, consisting of 6-8 flattened cells, eglandular, uniseriate, white, patent or appressed, on all organs, scattered but more frequent on the young shoots, margin of leaves, and inner sepals (Fig. 2, C-D). (3) Glandular hairs, three-celled, short (up to 50 ,um), scattered on all green parts of the plant, especially on the base of the leaves and the flower buds. The habit of the plant is glabrescent, since the indument is never dense and is difficult to observe macroscopically. The glandular hairs are scarce and, therefore, the plants never have a glandular aspect.

The trichomes (1) and (3) are present in all species of the subgenus Fumana, and their taxonomical value is low. The multicellular, eglandular trichomes (2) are of higher interest; these are present (apart from F fontqueri) in F procumbens, F baetica, F fontanesii POMEL, and in the eastern F paphlagonica BORNM. et JANCH. and F grandiflora JAUB. et SPACH (cf. COODE & DAVIs 1964, GUEMES 1990, GUEMES & MOLERO 1993).

The dissemination mechanisms in Fumana, and their taxonomical interest were discussed by COODE & DAVIS (1964). In F fontqueri the seeds fall down inside the capsule, enclosed

by the valves and calyx, and the plant finally sheds ripe fruit, with pedicel and calyx attached. The material that I examined did not have completely mature capsules, but the complete absence of calyces, fruits and pedicels from the previous year suggests this dissemination pattern. In most of the species of this genus (E fontanesii, F paphlagonica and F grandiflora, among others) the seeds are dispersed before the fall of the fruit and independently of it; the rests of the pedicels, and frequently of the calyces and capsules remain on the plants for several years. Only F procumbens and F baetica share this particular diaspore system with F fontqueri.

Also, the pedicel disposal in Fumana is characteristic for each species and, for a long time, has been used as a taxonomical character (cf. COODE & DAvis 1964, GOEMES 1990, GUEMES & MOLERO 1993). The ascendent (not arcuate) pedicels, longer (not shorter) than the underlying leaves, clearly separate F fontqueri from F procumbens and verge on F baetica.

In this way, F fontqueri is more related to the Iberian F baetica than to any other species of Fumana. However, it differs from this last species by several stable characters, summarized in Table 1. The most obvious differences regard the indument (glabrescent stems, the inner sepals which are not ciliate), the thickness of pedicels (0.5-0.6 vs. 0.3-0.4 mm in diameter) and the size of the flowers (26-28 vs. 18-22 mm in diameter).
