Carvalho, J.A., Pontes, T., Batista-Marques, M.I. & Jardim, R. 2010. A new species from the island of Porto Santo (Madeira Archipelago). Anales Jard. Bot Madrid. 67(2): 87-96. A new species endemic from the island of Porto Santo (Madeira Archipelago) is described as Echium portosanctensis J.A. Carvalho, Pontes, Batista-Marques & R. Jardim. Morphological studies based on reproductive and vegetative traits revealed a set of diagnostic characters confirming separation of E. portosanctensis from other recognized species at sectional level. A taxonomic diagnosis, a morphological description and illustrations of the new species are provided. Images, distribution maps, ecological data and a key for Madeiran species of Echium are also provided. Diagnostic characters, conservation status, threats and speciation mechanisms are discussed. In addition, reports on-the occurrence of E. candicans on the island of Porto Santo are also discussed.
