Each of the major clades is well supported but the relationships among them are not always clear. Some of the new taxa are easily characterized by morphological data but others are not, chief among the latter being three subfamilies (Stifftioideae, Wunderlichioideae and Gochnatioideae) and the tribe Hyalideae. To under- stand evolution in the family it is critical to investigate potential morphological characters that can help to evaluate the basal lineages of the Asteraceae. The data for this study were taken from 52 species in 24 genera representing the basal groups in the family. Many characters were examined but most of the useful ones were from reproductive structures. Several apomorphies supported a few of the clades. For instance, members of subfamily Wunderlichioideae (Hyalideae and Wunderlichieae) share predominantly ten-ribbed achenes and members of Wunderlichioideae + Stifftioideae share two synapomorphies: 100–150 (200) pappus elements, arranged in (three) four or five series. These apomorphies can be viewed as an indication of a sister-group relationship between the two subfamilies as the placement of Stifftieae was not well resolved by the molecular data.

FREIRE Instituto de Botánica Darwinion Casilla de Correo 22 Labardén 200, San Isidro (B1642HYD) Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA [email protected] ABSTRACT A previous molecular study showed that Chucoa ilicifolia , the type species of the genus Chucoa , is within the genus Onoseris clade. A new genus, Paquirea Panero & S.E. Freire, is proposed and described to accommodate the other species of Chucoa , C. lanceolata , as Paquirea lanceolata (H. Beltrán & Ferreyra) Panero & S.E. Freire, comb. nov. The new genus differs from Onoseris in having actinomorphic corollas with lobes of equivalent size and discoid capitula. Paquirea shares with other Onoserideae a shrubby habit, solitary capitula, epaleate receptacles, five- lobed corollas, anthers with long tails, style branches dorsally papillose with rounded apices, and heteromorphic pappi in three series. Among the Onoserideae, Paquirea, because of its solitary capitula and shrubby habit, is most similar to Plazia and Aphyllocladus . Paquirea can be distinguished from these genera by its conspicuously leafy stems (vs. leaves soon deciduous in Aphyllocladus ), alternate leaves (vs. spirally-arranged leaves in Plazia ), discoid capitula (vs. radiate capitula in Plazia ), cream-colored corollas (vs. lilac to purple corollas in Aphyllocladus and white to pink in Plazia ), and glabrous achenes (vs.

Para o autor, a tribo poderia ser reconhecida pelas flores bissexuais, corola tubulosa, receptáculo epaleáceo, estames insertos na corola, anteras sagitadas e estig- ma papiloso. Posteriormente, diversos autores (CABRERA, 1977; MAGUIRE et al., 1957, PRUSKI, 1991) consideraram as espécies com corola actinomor- fa de Stifftia e outros gêneros centrados nos tepuis (Guianas e Venezuela), como representantes da tribo Mutisieae. Em seguida, Pruski (2004) e Jeffrey (2004), acompanhados por Katinas e colaboradores (2008), recircunscreve- ram a tribo Stifftieae para incluir 6 gêneros (Chimantaea Maguire, Steyerm. & Wurdack, Quelchia N.E.

  • Vertebrate Pollination in Compositae STAPFIA 103 (2015): 5–26
    VOGEL • Vertebrate Pollination in Compositae STAPFIA 103 (2015): 5–26 Vertebrate Pollination in Compositae: Floral Syndromes and Field Observations STEFAN VOGEL* Abstract: The plant family Asteraceae (Compositae) owes its enormous evolutionary success to the development of the capitulum, in which many florets are combined into a flower-like pseudanthium. Although the details vary enormously, the capitulum adheres to a pattern that does not promote assortative specialisation to pollinators. Most species have a wide pollinator spectrum that includes bees, flies, butterflies, beetles and bugs. Here, I present a survey of tropical and subtropical Compositae that exhibit the floral syndromes of ornithophily (> 60 species in 27 genera), chiropterophily (17 species in 9 genera) and therophily (2–4 species of the genus Oldenburgia). In c. 20 cases, bird-pollination is supported by relevant (although mostly casual) observations (literature data and personal observations). The ornithophilous syndrome was convergently achieved by similar means to those seen in other families, albeit limited by the Compositae bauplan. Eight subfamilies (of the 12 presently recognised in the Compositae) and 12 tribes are involved, of which the Neotropical Barnadesioideae, Stifftioideae and Mutisioideae are the most prominent. Around 70% of the ornithophilous species are trees or shrubs. With respect to habitat, higher altitudes with a temperate climate are clearly preferred. Pollination by bats and non-flying mammals is much rarer. Although at least 17 species can be predicted to be bat-pollinated based on their chiropterophilous floral syndrome, visits by bats have only been observed in a single species,Gongylolepis jauaensis. In the South African genus Oldenburgia, at least two (and possibly all four) species are probably pollinated by non-flying mammals.
