2 New Plants Discovered in Spain

Posted On Wednesday, February 16, 2011 0 comments

2 New Plants Discovered in Spain - US News and World Report: "Just when everyone thought that almost every plant species on the Iberian Peninsula had been discovered, Spanish researchers have discovered Taraxacum decastroi and Taraxacum lacianense, two dandelions from the Pyrenees and the Cordillera Cantábrica mountain range, respectively. This finding confirms Spain's privileged position as a hotbed of biodiversity.


'It's hard to find new species now in Spain. It depends on the complexity of the group of plants you study', Antonio Galán de Mera, lead author of the study and a researcher in the Department of Biology (Botany) at the San Pablo-CEU University in Madrid, tells SINC."
