Resumo(s)
The majority of authors consider Festuca jubata Lowe as an endemic species common to Madeira and the Azores.
Saint-Yves proposed that F. jubata was an Azorean endemic and described a geovicarious taxon in Madeira:
F. filiformis C. Sm. ex Link in Buch ssp. mandonii St.-Yves. We undertook a complete bibliographical revision of
the taxonomy, nomenclature, and chorology of F. jubata s.l., and contrasted it with morphological and anatomical
studies performed on samples from the Azores and Madeira. Azorean plants usually identified as F. jubata had a
character combination distinct from that of those with a Madeiran provenance. Saint-Yves’ proposal of two
independent taxa was correct, but he erroneously considered F. jubata as an Azorean endemic because the name
F. jubata was based on Madeiran plants. Consequently, F. jubata auct. pl. from the Azores belongs to a new
species.
