Ethymology:—Named after the oblong morphology of the leaf. Phenology: — Austronea oblongifolia flowers from September to October in the wild; mature fruits produced from November to December. Flowers short-lived, opening about midday and withering by dusk, 1–3 flowers open in one day. Habitat: —This species is solitary, scattered in open exposed sandy areas around bare rock sheets near hill tops, between or beneath low karroid woody shrubs including Chrysocoma ciliata Linnaeus (1753: 841), Felicia muricata Nees von Esenbeck (1832: 210), and Pentzia globosa Lessing (1832: 266). Succulents such as Chasmatophyllum musculinum (Haworth 1826: 327) Dinter & Schwantes in Schwantes (1927: 18), Crassula corallina Thunberg (1778: 329), Duvalia modesta Brown (1909: 1028), Faucaria tuberculosa Schwantes (1926: 177), and Trichodiadema intonsum Schwantes (1926: 188) share the habitat. The vegetation type is known as Bedford Dry Grassland (Mucina & Rutherford 2006) and described as open, dry grassland. Grasses, such as Eragrostis curvula (Schrader 1821: 2073) Nees von Esenbeck (1841: 397), are however sparse in this micro-habitat, being more abundant along lower drainage lines. Distribution:— Austronea oblongifolia is presently only known from the type locality at the farm Normandale, south of Bedford, in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Further studies are needed to ascertain its real occurrence, which is probably overlooked by its cryptic appearance. In their revision of Drimia sensu lato in southern Africa, under the species account of Drimia chalumnensis Dold & Brink (2004: 631), Manning & Goldblatt (2018) suggest that the collection Van Jaarsveld 1119 (NBG) [corrected here to Van Jaarsveld 11119] from the farm Normandale may represent an undescribed species. Our work on living material from Normandale confirms this. Manning & Goldblatt (2018) also refer to the collection Zeyher 4223 (SAM) from ‘Zwartkopsrivier’ near Gqeberha (previously Port Elizabeth) in the same account. The latter collection includes three complete plants with inflorescences and a single canaliculate leaf of 30–50 × ca. 2 mm with acute apex, and their margins are somewhat thickened and differentiated from the blade. Further studies are needed to determine its taxonomic identity. Diagnostic characters and taxonomic relationships:— Austronea oblongifolia is easily identified by the solitary bulb with compact scales; the single, flat, oblong, apiculate, appressed leaf with minute papillae on the adaxial side and the margin, the latter undifferentiated from the blade; the very short peduncle; the subcapitate, few flowered inflorescence; the lowermost bracts with a flat spur, and the reddish flowers with smooth filaments (Figs 1–2). Austronea oblongifolia resembles A. marginata in the overall leaf morphology, but the latter differs by the 1(2), hysteranthous, wider (9–15 mm wide), oblong to elliptical leaves with heavily thickened, cartilaginous, and densely and minutely retrorso-scabridulous margins; the much longer peduncle (100–200 mm long); the longer pedicels (5–10 mm long at anthesis); and its occurrence in fine-grained clay soils restricted to the Hantam and Roggeveld Plateaus (Manning & Goldblatt 2007, 2018). Austronea pulchromarginata differs from A. oblongifolia by the (1)2–4, elliptical to broadly elliptical or suborbicular, much wider leaves (15–25 mm wide), with a highly ornamented, duplex margin comprising a narrow, colliculate rim edged internally with a broader band, ± 0.5 mm wide, of closely packed, suberect or weakly retrorse trichomes ± 0.1 mm long; the much longer peduncle [(60) 150–300 mm long]; the many-flowered inflorescence (10–30 flowers); the longer pedicels (5–10 mm long at anthesis); and its occurrence in the northern regions of Namaqualand and the Richtersveld, in sandy or gravelly soils (Manning & Goldblatt 2007, 2018). Austronea ecklonii (= Drimia ligulata), differs from A. oblongifolia by the 2–3(4), glabrous, longer and wider leaves[(20–)30–90 × (4–)6–10(–15) mm], with an obtuse apex and a simple, thickened (0.5 mm thick), cartilaginous, papillate or colliculate margin; the much longer peduncle [(60) 80–200 mm long]; the many-flowered inflorescence (5–30 flowers); the longer pedicels (5–10 mm long at anthesis); and its confinement to seasonally moist sandstone substrates at moderately high altitudes, between 500–1500 m elevation, in the western mountains of the Cape Fold Belt, flowering in December and January (Manning & Goldblatt 2007, 2018).

A new nothospecies, Teucrium × murcigerum, is described which comes from the hybridisation between two species of section Polium: Teucrium murcicum (subsect. Polium) and Teucrium lanigerum (subsect. Simplicipilosa), both endemic to SE Iberian Peninsula. This appears to be the first report of natural intersubsectional hybridisation between T. subsect. Polium and subsect. Simplicipilosa. A morphological description is reported, emphasizing the main diagnostic characters which allow separation from its parental taxa. Additionally, data on its biology, ecology and distribution are also presented, as well as relationships to other related nothospecies produced by its parentals. This work was partly supported by the grants ACIE18-03, UAUSTI18-02 and UAUSTI19-08 from the University of Alicante.

Teucrium × murcigerum De Juan, Mart. - Azorín, M.B.Crespo & M.Á.Alonso, nothosp. nov. (Figs. 1B, 1D, 2B) Type:— SPAIN. Murcia Province: Calarreona, Cuatro Calas, entre la playa de la Higuerica y la playa de La Carolina, UTM 30SXG215376, ca. 15 m elevation, 25 June 2019, M. Martínez-Azorín s.n. (ABH 82480 holo.; MA iso.). Diagnosis:—The new nothospecies resembles T. lanigerum in general appearance, leaf and stem indumentum, shape of inflorescence, and morphology of bracteoles, but greatly differs by the smaller inflorescence (head 1–1.5 mm long); floral bracteoles as long as flowers, the lowermost almost sessile; calyx smaller (3–4 mm long), with indumentum of simple shorter hairs (0.5–1 mm long), three of the five teeth ending into a narrow, curved hook-like extension ca. 0.5 mm long; corolla not uniformly purplish, the central lobe smaller (1–1.5 mm long), cream coloured in the central part; and the posterior lateral lobes of corolla with scarce simple shorter (0.5 mm long) hairs. The new hybrid also approaches T. murcicum in morphology and size of the calyx and lobes of the corolla, and the features of floral bracts and bracteoles, but markedly differs from the latter species in the general appearance (much resembling T. lanigerum), and also the entire absence of coralliform hairs in all parts, and the reddish-colour of the corolla lobes. Description:—Suffruticose cushion-like, half-shrub to 20 cm high. Stems suberect, quadrangular in section, all bearing decussate, spaced leaves; the winter-spring stems whitish-greyish with abundant curly, simple hairs 0.5–0.8 mm long; the flowering stems (1.5) 2–5.5 cm long, ascending, reddish, with scarce curly simple hairs 0.4–0.6 mm long. Leaves (4)6–10 × 1 mm, opposite, decussate, patent to suberect, linear-oblong, with revolute margins, crenate from the basal third or the middle with 5–7 lobe pairs; adaxial side greenish, with wavy or curly simple hairs 0.4–1 mm long; abaxial side whitish, with abundant wavy simple hairs 0.5–0.8 mm long. Inflorescence a terminal subglobose, dense head, 1–1.5 × 0.9–1.3 cm, sometimes with two lateral smaller basal heads of 0.8–1 × 0.8–0.9 cm, rarely presenting smaller inflorescences on the lower 1 or 2 pairs of leaves, which are sessile o rarely shortly pedunculate. Bracts 4–6 × 0.9–1.1 mm, oblong-linear, with revolute margin, sometimes crenate along the distal portion, with scarce simple hairs on the abaxial side. Basal bracteoles 4–5 × 0.5–1 mm, oblong-lanceolate with revolute margins, about as long as flowers, with scarce simple hairs 0.5–1 mm long, with an almost indistinguishable petiole. Upper bracteoles 5–6 × 0.5–1 mm, as long as flowers, lanceolate-linear revolute on margins, with scarce simple hairs 0.5–1 mm long, with petiole 1–2 mm long. Calyx greenish-reddish, 3–4 × 2–3 mm, tubular-campanulate, with wavy simple hairs 0.7–0.8 mm long externally and on the margin of teeth; tube 2–2.5 × 2 mm; teeth five, two widely triangular 1–1.5 × 1 mm and three narrowly triangular ending into a narrow, curved, hook-shaped extension (cuculla). Corolla unilabiate, mostly purplish with cream coloured central lobe, 4–5 mm long, with a narrow tube ca. 2 mm long enclosed into the calyx, with glandular hairs on the outer side covering mostly the central lobe, with scarce simple hairs 0.5–1 mm long on the inner side; posterior lateral lobes 1.3–1.4 × 1 mm, with scarce simple hairs ca. 0.5 mm long; lateral lobes 1 × 0.3–0.5 mm, ovate; central lobe 1–1.5 × 1 mm, subauriculate. Fruit schizocarpous, enclosed into the calyx, producing 4 subovoid nuculae, commonly not all developed, which are ca. 1.5 mm long, dark brown to black, with grooved surface resembling T. murcicum but with less distance among grooves. Etymology:—Named after the combination of the two parental names, ‘ murci-cum ’ and ‘ lani-gerum ’ (murcigerum). Phenology:— Teucrium × murcigerum flowers around June, when the two parental species, T. murcicum and T. lanigerum, are also in flower at the type locality near Calarreona, Murcia province, Spain. Habitat and distribution:—The new nothospecies is currently known from a single established plant growing at the type locality, south of Calarreona, where T. lanigerum and T. murcicum occur in the near vicinity (Fig. 1). The specimen, morphologically intermediate between both putative parentals, was found beside a mature plant of T. lanigerum (Fig. 1) and with several individuals of the latter species in a south-facing exposition, which would agree with the maternal inheritance of T. lanigerum in the new nothospecies. The nearby population of T. murcicum was found about 50 m to the north from the cited T. lanigerum population on a north-facing slope. They all occur in open low shrubland on carbonated soils of bioclimatically Inframediterranean Semiarid sites (according to RivasMartínez 2007), together with Anthyllis cytisoides L., Anthyllis terniflora (Lag.) Pau, Asteriscus maritimus (L.) Less., Cistus albidus L., Fumana ericoides (Cav.) Gand., Genista umbellata (L’Hér.) Poir. subsp. umbellata, Helianthemum fontqueri Sennen, H. syriacum (Jacq.) Dum. -Cours., Launaea lanifera Pau, Limonium insigne (Coss.) Kuntze, Periploca laevigata subsp. angustifolia (Labill.) Markgr., Rosmarinus officinalis L., Sideritis ibanyezii Pau, Teucrium capitatum L. subsp. gracillimum (Rouy) Valdés Berm., and Thymus hyemalis Lange, among others. They participate in low shrublands belonging to the phytosociological association Teucrio lanigeri-Sideritidetum ibanyezii Rivas Goday & Esteve 1968 corr. Alcaraz, T.E. Díaz, Rivas-Martínez & P. Sánchez 1989 (see Alcaraz et al. 2009). Diagnostic characters and taxonomic relationships:— Teucrium × murcigerum constitutes the first record of natural intersubsectional hybridisation between T. subsect. Polium (T. murcicum) and subsect. Simplicipilosa (T. lanigerum). This new nothospecies resembles T. lanigerum in overall morphology, and shows the simple, wavy-curly hairs of the latter species, agreeing with the most probable maternal inheritance of the hybrid. The new nothospecies however, shows intermediate characters between the two parentals T. murcicum and T. lanigerum (Table 1, Figs. 1–2), such as the stems, leaves or bracteoles that show the typical simple wavy hairs of T. lanigerum, though with lower density or length; the inflorescence and bracteoles length approaching T. murcicum, with bracteole petioles showing intermediate sizes; the calyx being clearly shorter than both parentals, morphologically similar to that in T. lanigerum but with much shorter hairs and tube and teeth morphology approaching T. murcicum; the corolla being shorter than in both parental species, mostly purplish, as in T. lanigerum, though the central lobe cream-coloured that shows glandular hairs only on the central lobe, like in T. murcicum; the posterior lateral lobes with simple hairs, like in T. lanigerum, but with a considerably lower density and shorter hairs, since the lobes in T. murcicum are glabrous; and the nucule shows the size of T. lanigerum but the ornamentation of T. murcicum, though with smaller grooves (Table 1, Fig. 2). The hybrid nature is sufficiently justified on morphological grounds. Furthermore, both parentals show the same chromosome number (2 n = 26), which apparently makes hybridisation processes easier between both species. Other Iberian hybrids have been reported with T. lanigerum or T. murcicum acting as parental species (Lahora Cano & Sánchez Gómez 2010, Sánchez Gómez et al. 1999, Sánchez Gomez & Navarro 1999), where the resulting segregated characters agree with those defining Teucrium × murcigerum. For instance, the hybrid Teucrium × motae Lahora & Sánchez Gómez (2010: 205) (T. carolipaui Vicioso ex Pau subsp. fontqueri (Sennen) Rivas Mart. × T. murcicum) shows the indumentum of T. carolipaui Vicioso ex Pau (1922: 185) subsp. fontqueri (Sennen 1932: 102) Rivas Martínez (1974: 88) in some parts and lacks the coralliform hairs typical of T. murcicum, though retaining the corolla and leaf size, and calyx morphology of the latter species (Lahora & Sánchez Gómez 2010). Similarly, in Teucrium × guemesii J.F.Jiménez et al. (in Sánchez-Gómez et al. 1999: 205) (T. carolipaui subsp. fontqueri × T. lanigerum) and in T. × eloualidii Sánchez Gomez & Navarro (1999: 167) (T. lanigerum × T. freynii E.Rev ex Willkomm 1893: 159), the indumentum is closer to T. lanigerum but with less general density, as it also occurs in the newly described Teucrium × murcigerum. However, in both latter cases both parentals belong to simple-haired sections or subsections and entirely lack coralliform indumentum. As in the case of Teucrium × motae, the indumentum displayed by hybrids between species of T. subsect. Polium and those of simple-haired groups (e.g., T. subsect. Simplicipilosa, subsect. Pumila or T. sect. Montana Lázaro Ibiza 1896: 776) shows some common features. For instance, in Teucrium × mateoi Solanas et al. (1993: 80) (T. carolipaui subsp. carolipaui × T. ronnigeri Sennen 1931: 47) and T. × alrumanae M.B.Crespo & J.C.Cristóbal (2017: 5) (T. ronnigeri × T. thymifolium Schreber 1773: 50), the hybrids completely lack coralliform hairs, as it occurs in the newly described hybrid, or at most they are replaced by weakly branched trichomes intermingled with the dominant simple hairs. This appears to point out to the fact that the coralliform indumentum tends to be displaced by the simple (or weakly branched) trichomes after hybridisation. The discovery of new hybrids affecting those groups will help to test that hypothesis. Additional material studied: Teucrium lanigerum:— SPAIN.

Within the framework of a taxonomic revision of Hyacinthaceae subfamily Ornithogaloideae, we present two new combinations in Eliokarmos for South African species, and five new combinations in Loncomelos for taxa occurring in Iran and Iraq. Details on the concerned types are given, and a new lectotype is designated.
