Abstract
espanolSe ha realizado, por primera vez, un analisis morfometrico con el fin de investigar la variacion morfologica de los taxones infraespecificos actualmente reconocidos en Malva cretica s.l., i.e. subsp. cretica y subsp. althaeoides, incluyendo la poco conocida var. montana del sur de Italia. Segun nuestros resultados, la subsp. althaeoides y la subsp. cretica merecen el rango de subespecie y ocupan respectivamente los sectores occidentales y centro-orientales del area de distribucion de la especie. Respecto a M. cretica var. montana, caracterizada por algunos rasgos intermedios, debe ser incluida en M. cretica subsp. cretica. EnglishA morphometric analysis has been carried out for the first time in order to investigate the variability of the infraspecific taxa included in the steno-Mediterranean Malva cretica s.l., i.e. M. Cretica subsp. althaeoides, M. cretica subsp. cretica, and the poorly-known M. Cretica var. montana, described from southern Italy. According to our results, M. cretica subsp. althaeoides and subsp. cretica are worth of taxonomic recognition at subspecies rank and occupy respectively the western and the central-eastern sectors of the species range. Concerning M. Cretica var. montana, characterized by some intermediate features, it should be included in M. Cretica subsp. cretica.
