Abstract
Observations on the morphology combined with computer-assisted analyse s of phenetics (principal component analysis) as well as chemical dete ction and isolation of flavonoid and terpenoid compounds, have confirm ed the existence of a new species, Frullania azorica. Frullania azoric a is maintained within the subgenus Trachycolea, where it is possibly closely related to F. eboracensis though not easily separated from ste rile forms of F. dilatata. The species occurs in Portugal and the Atla ntic Islands (Azores, Madeira and Canaries).
