284 6 Oceanic Islands<br />

to support recognition <strong>of</strong> the plants from Tenerife as subsp. aurea and the plants<br />

from La Palma as subsp. suaveolens. Although the chemical differences were in<br />

accord with “noticeable” morphological differences between the two specimens, it<br />

is unfortunate that the sampling <strong>of</strong> these taxa was so meager. Should there be any<br />

interpopulational variation in the capacity <strong>of</strong> these taxa to express their phenolic<br />

chemistry, the recorded differences may well be misleading. Additional sampling,<br />

including several plants from several populations, would be most welcome. Specimens<br />

from other islands would be needed for a fuller view <strong>of</strong> the system.
