What is Orobanche haenseleri var. deludens Beck?

Antonio J. Pujadas Salva, Laura Plaza Arregui

Orobanche haenseleri var. deludens Beck (Orobanchaceae), a problematic taxon described from Algeciras (Cádiz, S Spain) is here identified after studying the original material of Wolley-Dod (BM 4476). It is considered to be the same as O. austrohispanica M.J.Y. Foley and better included, as a variety, under O. gracilis Sm. The new combination O. gracilis var. deludens (Beck) A. Pujadas is consequently proposed. It mainly parasites Ulex (Fabaceae) in the western Mediterranean Region (Iberian Peninsula and NW Africa).
