The list represents a continuation and revision of the three first editions (1974, 1979, and 1985) of the checklist. Taxonomic, nomenclatural and floristic work have been actively performed within the archipelagos, and compared to the 1985 edition some 200 species have been added to the flora, as well as more than 900 new distribution data (i.e., new island records). The number of additions has, relatively seen, been largest in the Cape Verde Islands. Within each of the four parts Pteridophyta, Gymnospermae (Pinophyta), Dicotyledoneae (Magnoliatae), and Monocotyledoneae (Liliatae), the families, the genera (1,062) within each family, and the species (3,106) within each genus are arranged in alphabetical order. Only species stated to have been recorded as spontaneous or naturalized plants within the archipelagos have been included. As practise in floristical literature on the archipelagos, however, have been somewhat different with regard to inclusion of cultivated plants, this has not always been easy to do consistently. Hybrids are normally listed under their respective parental names, followed by their hybrid names - if given - listed in brackets. Endemics are especially marked in the list by a black dot. "Endemic" is here understood as endemic only to the particular islands with which we are concerned. Species besides occurring in the so-called Macaronesian enclave in the African mainland and/or in single localities in the Iberian peninsula are thus not regarded as Macaronesian endemics in this connection. The dots indicating endemism are used to mark whether a certain taxon - isolated seen - is endemic in this respect. As taxa of succeeding hierarchic rank are often designated endemics independent of each other, the number of dots are thus higher than the number of true endemics. A second section lists 2,327 synonyms frequently used, especially in older Macaronesian taxonomic and floristic literature. No attempt has been made to reach completeness in this list. It is mainly intended as a means to find the proper names - or the names used in the main part of the checklist - for taxa where orientation among alternative names has become difficult from the many nomenclatural changes in the course of time. 6 SOMMERFELTIA 17 (1993) NOMENCLATURALCHANGES The genus Taeckholmia L. Boulos (1967) is considered a synonym of Atalanthus D. Don ( 1829) (Farr et al. 1986; Mabberley 1987). 5 Macaronesian taxa have so far no names under Atalanthus: Atalanthus canariensis (Boulos) A. Hansen et P. Sunding, comb. nov. Basionym: Taeckholmia canariensis Boulos, Bot. Notiser 120: 100 (1967). Atalanthus capillaris (Svent.) A. Hansen et P. Sunding, comb. nov.

Canar. 2: pl. 136 (1848), p. 444 (1849-50). Syn.: Taeckholmia heterophylla Boulos, Bot. Notiser 120: 104 (1967). According to Miller ( 1985, p. 519) the name Lavandula coronopifolia Poiret in Lam. (1813) has priority over L. stricta Delile (1813), hence: Lavandula coronopifolia Pair. var. subtropica (Gandoger) A. Hansen et P. Sunding, comb. nov. Basionym: Lavandula subtropica Gandoger, Bull. Soc. Bot. Fr. 65: 66 (1918). Syn.: L. stricta Del. var. subtropica (Gand.) Chaytor Pericallis lanata (L'Her.) B. Nord. var. cyanophthalma (W.J. Hooker) A. Hansen et P. Sunding, comb. nov. Basionym: Senecio heritieri DC. var. cyanophthalmus W.J. Hooker, Curtis's Bot. Mag. 67: pl. 3827 (1841). Willemse (1991) followed Briquet's broad concept of Satureja, including Micromeria in this genus, also pointing to the practise used in the Med-Checklist (Greuter et al. 1986). Willemse made valid combinations within Satureja for most of the Macaronesian taxa that had not already been named by Briquet. For 11 Canarian Micromeria taxa there exist no names under Satureja: SOMMERFELTIA 17 (1993) 7 Satureja x perez-pazii (G. Kunkel) A. Hansen et P. Sunding, comb. nov.

Other typically herbaceous dicotyledonous groups in which species of the Atlantic Islands are appreciably woodier than non-insular ones include Centaurea and Sonchus ( Asteraceae); Cheiranthus, Crambe, Descurainia, Parolinia, and Sinapodendron ( Brassicaceae); Convolvulus ( Convolvulaceae); and Plan­ tago ( Plantaginaceae). The tendency for Macaronesian species to be woodier than their main­ land relatives has naturally given rise to interpretations. The rosette shrubs of these islands are quite characteristic; such shrubs were termed "Feder­ buschgewachse" by Schenck ( 1907). These suggest to some workers her­ baceous groups in which the notably moderate climate of islands has per­ mitted continued growth; in these groups there is natural selection for plants that are of longer duration and increased woodiness, suiting the year-long growing season of such insular areas.

    The Canary Islands Dragon Trees & Blue Chaffinches A Greentours Tour Report 7th – 16th February 2014 Leader Başak Gardner Day 1 07.02.2014 To El Patio via Guia de Isora I met the half of the group at the airport just before midday and headed towards El Guincho where our lovely hotel located. We took the semi coastal road up seeing the xerophytic scrub gradually changing to thermophile woodland and then turned towards El Teide mountain into evergreen tree zone where the main tree was Pinus canariensis. Finally found a suitable place to stop and then walked into forest to see our rare orchid, Himantoglossum metlesicsiana. There it was standing on its own in perfect condition. We took as many pics as possible and had our picnic there as well. We returned to the main road and not long after we stopped by the road side spotting several flowering Aeonium holochrysum. It was a very good stop to have a feeling of typical Canary Islands flora. We encountered plants like Euphorbia broussonetii and canariensis, Kleinia neriifolia, Argyranthemum gracile, Aeonium urbicum, Lavandula canariensis, Sonchus canariensis, Rumex lunaria and Rubia fruticosa. Driving through the windy roads we finally came to Icod De Los Vinos to see the oldest Dragon Tree. They made a little garden of native plants with some labels on and the huge old Dragon Tree in the middle. After spending some time looking at the plants that we will see in natural habitats in the following days we drove to our hotel only five minutes away. The hotel has an impressive drive that you can see the huge area of banana plantations around it.

This is probably the most well known location on Tenerife as it is where most people see their first Blue Chaffinches and we were not to be disappointed. Also at this location we saw the only Great Spotted Woodpecker of the tour plus a few Canaries, a Tenerife Kinglet and a few African Blue Tits. After departing from Las Lajas we continued climbing and entered the Las Cañadas National Park which is a spectacular drive through volcanic scenery. On the drive we encountered quite a few endemic plants including Pinus canariensis and Spartocytisus supranubius that were common and easily recognized and Echium wildpretii, Pterocephalus lasiospermus, Descurainia bourgaeana and Argyranthemum teneriffae which were rather unimpressive as they were not yet flowering but we were compensated by the fabulous views across the ancient caldera.

Elachistidae W ith 14 figures LAURI KAILA and OLE KARSHOLT Summary A review of the species of the family Elachistidae occurring on Madeira Islands is presented. Two species are recognised to occur there: Elachista encumeadae sp. n., which is placed in the Elachistapraelineata group, and Perittia. carlinella (WALSINGHAM). An earlier literature record of P. carlinella from Madeira is discussed. Descriptions are given for both species, and their adult habitus and genitalia are figured. Zusammenfassung Es wird eine Übersicht über die auf den Madeira Inseln vorkommenden Arten der Familie Elachistidae gegeben. Zwei Arten wurden festgestellt: Elachista encumeadae sp. n., in die Elachista praelineata Gruppe - gehörend, und Perittia carlinella (WALSINGHAM). Eine frühere Literaturangabe zu P. carlinella von Madeira wird diskutiert. Für beide Arten werden Beschreibungen vorgelegt. Die Falter sowie die Genitalien werden abgebildet. Key words Madeira; Microlepidoptera; Elachistidae; new species The Elachistidae (s. str.) (Gelechioidea) is a family of small-sized Lepidoptera. The lar­ vae of most species with a known biology are leafminers, mainly in monocots. Although the family is nearly cosmopolitan in its distribution, the majority of known species oc­ cur in the northern hemisphere (KAILA 1999a). Several species are known to occur on oceanic islands of the Atlantic Ocean. KLIMESCH (1990) records 5 species of Elachisti­ dae from the Canary Islands. One species, Elachista trifasciata (WOLLASTON, 1879), oc­ curs on St. Helena. No records are available from the Azores. There is only one impre­ cise literature record of a species of Elachistidae from Madeira (see below under re­ marks to Perittia carlinella).

Their isolation has given rise to many endemic species and subspecies, of which the great views of Tenerife Blue Chaffinch in perfect light were a highlight for many. We marvelled over the flora, so different to that of mainland Europe, and enjoyed the various species of lizards, plus the butterflies and other invertebrates we encountered. The day on La Gomera was a delight, not least for the numbers of Cory’s Shearwaters, whales and dolphins, plus the White-faced Storm Petrels we encountered. Lovely weather with plenty of sunshine, comfortable accommodation, good food and great company all made for an excellent week. Day 1 Saturday 23rd February Fly to Tenerife South – La Chafiras – Road to Vilaflor Fifteen tour group members met with Andrew and Jessica at Gatwick’s North Terminal for the 6.50am Easyjet flight to Tenerife South Airport. After a bit of a delay due to fog at Gatwick, we landed on the island at around 12.15pm, meeting up with our last group member, who had arrived on the island the previous day.

    MESSAGE FROM HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE AZORES In a dispersed territory like the Azores, particularly in the smaller settlements, it is essential to encourage sustainable development since it is the route to economic progress, social cohesion, quality of life, and the preservation of natural heritage. In good time, the Government of the Azores has set inhabitants of São Jorge the challenge of jointly drawing up an application to UNESCO for the Fajãs de São Jorge to be designated a biosphere reserve. Right from the start, this process has been a very inclusive one. Indeed, only by being so can it succeed as it is up to individuals, communities and institutions to choose the foundations for their own development. The public authorities are responsible for establishing the conditions required for this development by enhancing knowledge of our existing natural and cultural assets, improving the conservation of these assets and fostering landmark projects that may serve to catalyse the aims of the Man and Biosphere (MAB) programme. The Fajãs de São Jorge are an example of a balanced but not always peaceful relationship between human beings and nature. As such, they offer clear evidence of perseverance and tenacity and are unique repositories of ways of life, landscapes and biodiversity that must be conserved and enhanced. The biosphere-reserve designation will confer international renown on São Jorge, placing the island and its fajãs in a network comprising over 600 sites around the world. It will also add economic value to the products and services produced there by allowing them to display a UNESCO seal of quality.
