=== Shrub ===
Named by [[User: VectorGraphics|Vector]] in 2026, shrub is a [[restriction]] of [[diaschismic family #Diaschismic|diaschismic]] which omits the tritone to produce a [[5L 2s|diatonic]] scale. True to its name, it generates a [[neogothic major and minor|shrubmajor]]{{idio}} third (~425{{c}}) in quarter-comma tuning. It has an equal-temperament join of 12 & 17.  
Named by [[User: VectorGraphics|Vector]] in 2026, shrub is a [[restriction]] of [[diaschismic family #Diaschismic|diaschismic]] which omits the tritone to produce a [[5L 2s|diatonic]] scale. True to its name, it generates a [[neogothic major and minor|shrubmajor]]{{idio}} third (~425{{c}}) in quarter-comma tuning. Specifically, the diatonic major third in shrub temperament is [[32/25]]. It has an equal-temperament join of 12 & 17.
 
It can also admit a [[41/1|41st harmonic]] by tempering out [[82/81]] (same mapping as [[reversed meantone]]). However, its tuning tends to be flat, and with the rest of the harmonics tending sharp, this will increase the overall error.

=== Barbados ===
Barbados is the restriction of [[#Bridgetown|bridgetown]] to the 2.3.13/5 subgroup, and tempers out [[676/675]] alone. The [[minimax tuning]] for this makes the generator the cube root of 20/13, or 248.5953 cents. Edos which may be used for it are [[24edo]], [[29edo]], [[53edo]] and [[111edo]], with [[mos scale]]s of size 5, 9, 14, 19, 24 and 29 making for a good variety of scales. If tuned near-optimally, it is just barely a [[microtemperament]], with errors of under one cent for 3 and 13/5, and given its ultra-low complexity, this makes Barbados an extremely low-[[badness]] temperament within its subgroup.
Barbados tempers out [[676/675]] alone in the 2.3.13/5 subgroup. It melodically resembles [[semaphoresmic clan #Semaphore|semaphore]], but targets specifically the interseptimal intervals like [[13/10]] and [[15/13]]. [[#Bridgetown|Bridgetown]], which adds 11/5, is a notable extension of it.  
 
The {1, 3, 13/5} and {1, 3, 9, 13/5} [[minimax tuning]]s have 13/5 and 3 tuned pure, respectively. Edos which may be used for it include but are not limited to [[24edo]], [[29edo]], and [[53edo]], with [[mos scale]]s of size 5, 9, 14, 19, 24 and 29 making for a good variety of scales. If tuned near-optimally, it is just barely a [[microtemperament]], with errors of under one cent for 3 and 13/5, and given its ultra-low complexity, this makes barbados an extremely [[badness|low-badness]] temperament within its subgroup.


Several related temperaments, all tempering out 676/675, can be found in [[The Archipelago]].
