Popis: 4. Callitriche lusitanica Schotsman (1961: 112) Type: —Castelo Branco, rib. Ponsul, VI-1881. A.R. da Cunha s.n. (LISU). Distribution: — Callitriche lusitanica is endemic to the Mediterranean Basin, but its distribution is poorly known. It is widespread and abundant in the centre and west of the Iberian Peninsula and occurs in North Africa in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, as well as from the islands of Sardinia and Sicily east to Israel (Lansdown et al. 2017, Prančl et al. 2020). In Morocco it appears to be restricted to the coastal lowlands from Safi north to Tangiers, where it is not uncommon south of Rabat (Fig. 1D). Habitat and ecology: —Throughout much of its range, C. lusitanica occurs in gravel- or cobble-bed rivers on siliceous soils, where it may form large stands in the main channel and backwaters (Lansdown et al. 2017). In Morocco although it has been recorded from slow-flowing water (Fennane et al. 2007), it is more frequent in seasonal waterbodies. Notes: —The Iberian Peninsula and Morocco appear to represent the core distribution area of this species, however scattered records from the larger Mediterranean islands, other countries in North Africa, and from Israel suggest that it may have a similar distribution to that of C. brutia subsp. naftolskyi. It is clearly under-recorded throughout much of its range and since it is poorly represented in herbaria, it is difficult to define its distribution. Recognition: — Callitriche lusitanica can be distinguished from all other Callitriche species recorded from Morocco by the combination of the translucent leaves that are not connate at the base, and the broadly-winged fruit that are blackish when mature.
