Abstract
Dinter, I. & Greuter, W.: Silene rothmaleri (Caryophyllaceae), believed extinct, rediscovered at Cabo de São Vicente (Algarve, Portugal). — Willdenowia 34: 371–380. — ISSN 0511-9618; © 2004 BGBM Berlin-Dahlem.Silene rothmaleri, described in 1956 by Pinto da Silva based on a single herbarium specimen collected in 1945, has been considered as extinct following unsuccessful searches at its locus classicus, the Ponta de Sagres. At nearby Cabo de São Vicente, a small population of at least 10 individuals exists, discovered in spring 2000 and more leisurely studied in 2004. The macro- and micromorphology of the revenant species are described and illustrated.
