Abstract

Filago longilanata was collected only once until now by Maire and Wilczek in 1934. On its side, Filago prolifera is a rare plant endemic to North Africa, and most of the available herbarium materials corresponding to this species were collected in the late 19th or early 20th centuries. In this work, respectively two and three new populations of Filago longilanata and F. prolifera from Morocco are reported. Additionally, the phylogenetic position of these taxa within the genus Filago is elucidated. Last, complete description, a nomenclatural treatment and iconographies are presented for both species.
