Abstract
A revision of the genus Peniophora in the high mountain of Tenerife (Teide National Park) is presented. Seven species were recorded, of which P. nuda was the most common. P. violaceolivida is new to the Canary Islands, as well as P. limitata for Tenerife. Peniophora samples were collected exclusively on seven endemic vascular plant species of all the potential substrates (≈ 20), and all Peniophora species were registered on Spartocytisus supranubius, which is a dominant legume species with a wide distribution in the study area.
