Abstract:
Dahoecia cantahrica (Huds.) K. Koch and Erica mackaiana Bab. are two ericaceous
species whose disjunct distribution in Europe is best described as Hiberno-Iberian. Both
species have their origins in the Atlantic coastal areas of the Iberian peninsula, are absent
from Britain, and are found only in certain areas of the west of Ireland. How and when the
current populations of these species became established in Ireland has been a question of
debate for over 150 years. To gain an understanding of the processes and events that have
shaped this unusual distribution a combined approach of molecular analysis and species
distribution modelling was carried out.
