tol01 | It appears from the recent taxonomical literature that the name Festuca jubata Lowe is a misapplied name for the taxon occurring in the Azores. Fernández Prieto et al. (2008) showed that F. jubata is an endemic to Madeira and classified the Azorean plants as F. francoi. Hence Festuca jubata sensu Lüpnitz 1976 et auct., non Lowe should be called Festuca francoi Fernández Prieto, C. Aguiar, E. Dias & M.I. Gut. Fernández Prieto et al. (2012) formally published the name correction. (J.-P. Theurillat, L. Mucina).
