There are two subspecies: Asphodelus bento-rainhae ssp. bento-rainhae is found in Portugal and Asphodelus bento-rainhae ssp. salmanticus is present in Spain. The two subspecies are not closely related genetically.
This species is classified as Vulnerable D2, as it is only found in four locations (two in Portugal and two in Spain), in a very tiny area of occupancy. If, despite conservation actions, the quality of its habitat was to decrease further, this species would qualify for an Endangered category.
Hi

Have you contacted the author of the revision in Boissiera, 52 (1996) Zoila Diaz Lifante, at the Universidad de Sevilla?
Thanks Stephen!
That is a good beginning. I will contact Zoila Diaz. Hopefully I coud have some news 18 years after that general revision about the genus Asphodelus.
I have to contact also those authors that worked to the IUCN Red List:
Caldas, F.B. & Moreno Saiz, J.C. 2013. Asphodelus bento-rainhae. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Version 2014.2.
Yours sincerely,
Luís Quinta-Nova
Thanks for your contribution. I already contacted Zoila Díaz from the Universidad de Sevilla. I'm waiting for an answer.
