Distribution and habitat of Spanish populations of the subtribe Hordeineae; improved views following germplasm collecting activities
A complete study was made of 20 Spanish herbaria and of the literature concerning the regional flora of Spain in order to define the geographical limits of the different genera of the subtribe Hordeineae found in Spain. Accordingly, several expeditions were undertaken to the greater part of the Spanish mainland and its islands in order to collect samples of wild populations of the genera Hordeum L.;Taeniatherum Nevski and Hordelymus Jessen. This paper, which contains information garnered from both collection activities and the study of herbaria, describes the distribution and ecological characteristics of the habitats where populations of H. bulbosum, H. secalinum, H. murinum subsp. murinum, H. murinum subsp. leporinum, H. marinum subsp. marinum, H. marinum subsp. gussoneanum, Taeniatherum caput-medusae and Hordelymus europeus grow. The bioclimatic and geographical characteristics of the populations of the different genera and species from which samples were taken during collecting expeditions are also described.
