| Abstract: | Germplasm from one or more populations of each taxon of the Macaronesian endemic genus Argyranthemum Sch. Bip. (Asteraceae: Anthemideae) was collected in the Canary Islands, Madeira, the Selvagens Islands and the Desertas Islands. A total of 253 germplasm samples was collected and they are conserved ex situ at the seed bank of Centro de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria de Canarias (Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain). Duplicates are held at the germplasm bank of Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Agrónomos (Madrid, Spain). A preliminary account of the ecogeography of the genus based on field observation is provided. In situ conservation strategies are discussed, particularly with regard to the occurrence of hybridization within Argyranthemum.Abbreviations IUCN international Union for Conservation of Nature - CITA Centro de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria de Canarias - ETSIA Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Agrónomos, Madrid |
