Abstract
The genus Sideritis (family Labiatae), with more than 130 species, is composed of annual or perennial herbs and small shrubs, widely distributed in the Mediterranean-Macaronesian area. They are usually calcicolous and heliophilous plants forming part of degraded shrublands in dry and semiarid regions. Because hybridization is a very common phenomenon, even between individuals of different sections, the taxonomy of the genus Sideritis is somewhat complex (Heywood 1972; Peris et al. 1990).
