Description
Summary:ABSTRACT: The specific parasite of Lactuca (Compositae) described in 2005 from the Iberian Peninsula as Phelipanche inexspectata (Orobanchaceae) and known so far in northeastern Spain and southern France, is shown to also occur in mountain areas of northern Africa, where it had been previously described under the neglected name Phelipanche cernua. Given the recent proposal to consider the aforementioned Lactuca parasite a mere variant of Phelipanche schultzii, we stress the neat differences between both species. RESUMEN: Phelipanche cernua Pomel (Orobanchaceae), un nombre prioritario para la especie del Mediterráneo Occidental recientemente descrita como Ph. inexspectata. Se dan pruebas de que la parásita específica de Lactuca (Compositae) descrita en 2005 de la Península Ibérica como Phelipanche inexspectata (Orobanchaceae), y conocida hasta ahora del noreste de España y el sur de Francia, alcanza las montañas del norte de África, de las que ya había sido descrita bajo el nombre Phelipanche cernua. Dada la reciente afirmación de que dicha parásita de Lactuca es una mera variante de Phelipanche schultzii, recalcamos las netas diferencias entre ambas especies.
