Teucrium lini -vaccarii Pamp.

The nutlet is light brown and elliptic (0.61 × 0.40 mm), with a glabrous surface of shallow areoles, shallower towards the abscission scar. The nutlet sculpture is reticulate of isodiametric cells with raised, wavy anticlinal and concave external periclinal walls. The thickness of muri is 2.2 μm and the diameter of lacuna is 10.3 μm. The abscission scar is elliptic and occupies about 60% from the nutlet length ( Table 2 and Fig. 1 , 15–17).
