Resumen GÓMEZ-CAMPO. C. (2003). El género Guenthera Andr, in Bess. (Brassicaceae, Brassiceae). Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 60(2): 301-307 (en inglés). Un grupo de nueve especies actualmente incluidas en difiere de todas las demás por varios caracteres, sobre todo por la porción estilar de sus pistilos, que siempre carece de pri- mordios seminales. Además, por su tallo subterráneo ramificado, que forma un cáudex con varias rosetas; sus hojas de enteras hasta profundamente pinnatífidas, pero nunca pinnatisec- tas; sus cotiledones solo muy ligeramente escotados, y sus semillas, que tienden a ser elip- soidales o aplanadas. Se propone agruparlas todas bajo la denominación genérica Guenthera Andr, in Bess. Se detallan los nuevos nombres para las especies y Subespecies y se añade una clave para diferenciar las especies. Palabras clave: taxonomía, Guenthera, Brassicaceae, Brassica.

Abstract GÓMEZ-CAMPO, C. (2003). The genus Guenthera Andr, in Bess. (Brassicaceae, Brassiceae). Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 60(2): 301-307. A group of nine species -now included in Brassica— differ from all the other species in sever- al characters, mainly in the stylar portion of their pistils always without seed primordia. Also in their branched subterranean stem (caudex) with several leaf rosettes, their leaves entire to deeply pinnatifid but never pinnatisect, their shallowly notched cotyledons and their flattened, elliptic or ovoid seed contour. It is suggested to include these species under the generic de- nomination Guenthera Andr, in Bess. New ñames for the species and subspecies are provided, as well as a determination key for the species. Key words: , Guenthera. Brassicaceae, Brassica.
