Plantas andaluzas de Pierre Edmond Boissier (1810-1885) en el herbario del Real Colegio Alfonso XII de San Lorenzo de El Escorial (Madrid, España)
Abstract
We present a brief description of a little but interesting set of plants deposited in the herbarium of the Real Colegio Alfonso XII of San Lorenzo de El Escorial. The total number of specimens are fifteen, all of them belong to the scientific activity of E. Boissier during his first travel in the south of Spain in 1837. These plants were in the Carreño´s herbarium. The historical importance of these sheets is enhanced by when they were used for Willkomm & Lange (1861-1880) as reference in order to establish the species corology in the classic Prodromus florae hispanicae, as clearly stated in that work. Furthermore, many of these sheets were collected by the same dates and localities cited by Boissier in the Voyage botanique dans le midi de l´Espagne pendant l´année 1837 among them are type material of Linaria origanifolia DC. var. glareosa Boiss. and Festuca elegans Boiss.Downloads
