Evaluated in a set of 28 individuals sampled on the island of Tenerife, all markers showed polymorphism and displayed 56 alleles. The number of alleles ranged from 2 to 8, with an average of 4.31 alleles per locus. This set of SSR markers will be very useful in further studies on the population genetics or phylogeography of this endangered species, leading to more appropriate and successful management. %~ Universidad de Cádiz
