Molecular phylogenetic analyses of nuclear ribosomal ITS sequence data resolve a group of northern species of Andeimalva found in Bolivia and Peru from the morphologically very different south- ern A. chilensis. The new species bears the largest flowers of anyAndeimalva and is compared with Bolivian A. mandonii. A revised key to the genus is presented.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Martín Gómez J.J., Gutiérrez del Pozo D., Cervantes E., 2019: Seed shape quantification in the Malvaceae reveals cardioid-shaped seeds predominantly in herbs. – Botanica, 25(1): 21–31. Seed shape in the Malvaceae and other families of the order Malvales was investigated. Seed shape was quan- tified by comparison with the cardioid. TheJ index is the percent similarity between both images, the seed and the cardioid, and similarity is considered in cases where the J index is over 90. Seed shape was analysed in 73 genera, and seeds resembling the cardioid were found in 10 genera, eight in the Malvaceae and two in the Bi- xaceae and Cistaceae. Seed shape was quantified by comparison with the cardioid in 105 species. A correlation was found between the values of the J index and plant form, with higher values of the J index in the seeds of herbs, intermediate – in bushes, and lower values in trees. The results suggest a relationship between seed shape and plant form, where seeds resembling the cardioid are associated with plants having small size.

  • General View of Malvaceae Juss. S.L. and Taxonomic Revision of Genus Abutilon Mill

S.L. and Taxonomic Revision of Genus Abutilon Mill. in Saudi Arabia Wafaa Kamal Taia Alexandria University, Faculty of Science, Botany Department, Alexandria, Egypt [email protected] Abstract. This works deals with the recent opinions about the new classification of the core Malvales with special reference to the family Malvaceae s.l. and the morphological description and variations in the species of the genus Abutilon Mill. Taxonomical features of the family as shown in the recent classification systems, with full description of the main divisions of the family. Position of Malvaceae s.l. in the different modern taxonomical systems is clarified. General features of the genus Abutilon stated according to the careful examination of the specimens. Taxonomic position of Abutilon in the Malvaceae is given. Artificial key based on vegetative morphological characters is provided. Keywords: Abutilon, Core Malvales, Eumalvaceae, Morpholog, Systematic Position, Taxonomy. General Features of Family Malvaceae According to Heywood[1] and Watson and Dallwitz[2] the plants of the family Malvaceae s.s. are herbs, shrubs or trees with stipulate, simple, non-sheathing alternate or spiral, petiolate leaves usually with palmate vennation (often three principal veins arising from the base of the leaf blade). Plants are hermaphrodite, rarely dioecious or poly-gamo- monoecious with floral nectarines and entomophilous pollination. Flowers are solitary or aggregating in compound cymes, varying in size from small to large, regular or somewhat irregular, cyclic with distinct calyx and corolla.

  • 3.7 Biological Resources
    3.7 Biological Resources This section addresses the potential direct and indirect effects of implementation of the pro- posed General Plan on biological resources in Pacifica. The setting descriptions and impact analyses presented in this section are based on the review of existing documentation and bio- logical databases. Environmental Setting Pacifica’s varied topography creates a wide range of habitats in the City, including intertidal areas, beaches, ridges, coastal headlands, woodlands, grasslands, scrub, creeks, and wetlands. Most natural vegetation in the valley and canyon bottoms has been converted to develop- ment. However, intact native habitats persist along the riparian corridors of San Pedro, Cal- era, Rockaway, and Milagra Creeks, and on steep slopes. PLANT COMMUNITIES AND WILDLIFE HABITATS Plant communities are assemblages of plant species that recur in the landscape according to soil, climate, hydrological, and other conditions. The basis for the vegetation classification system utilized in this analysis relies on the currently accepted California Department of Fish and Wildlife1 List of Vegetation Alliances and Associations (also known as the Natural Communities List).2 Plant communities generally correlate with wildlife habitat types, and these typically are classified and evaluated using CDFW’s California Wildlife Habitat Rela- tionship classification system.3 Plant communities and wildlife habitats are described below and depicted in Figure 3.7-1, Vegetation. 1 The California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) changed its name on January 1, 2013 to The California De- partment of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). In this document, references to literature or databases published by CDFW prior to Jan. 1, 2013 are cited as ‘CDFG, [year]’.
