x tilophila nothovar. chamorgensis Heath, 1994
Parentage : Monanthes brachycaulos var. adenopetala x M. laxiflora var. laxiflora
Distribution : Canary Islands : Eastern part of Tenerife.
Description :
Differs from the nothovar. tilophila on Tenerife in being more robust,
branches longer and pendent,
leaves always alternate and scattered and never arranged rosette-like.
Note :
Whether the nothovar. chamorgensis is accepted or not depends on the acceptance of var. adenopetala of M. brachycaulos. If var. adenopetala is placed in the synonymy of M. brachycaulos, M. x chamorgensis becomes a synonym of M. x tilophila, i.e. the name is superfluous.
