Abstract: Herein, we report two new records of Triuridaceae (Sciaphila purpurea and Triuris hyalina) in the southern Amazon forest. These species were surveyed in the permanent plots (PPBio) using the RAPELD methodology. These new records extend the distribution of these species to Mato Grosso state. Species of the Triuridaceae family are distributed, in and São Paulo (southeast); and Santa Catarina (south) tropical and subtropical regions with most species in the Austral-Asian region (Maas and Maas 2009). The family Peltophyllum. is composed by mycoheterotroph (saprophytes), small (MaasIn this1986; study Maas we andreport Maas two 2013). new genericCurrently and the species only herbaceous plants lacking chlorophyll with a mostly well- genus recorded from Mato Grosso state is developed rhizome, and usually found in dense and humid represented by Sciaphila (S. purpurea Benth.) and Triuris forests.

  • Two New Triuridaceae, with Some Remarks on the Genus Sciaphila, Blume
    Two new Triuridaceae, with some Remarks on the Genus Sciaphila, Blume. BY W. BOTTING HEMSLEY, F.R.S., F.L.S. Keeper of the Herbarium and Library, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kerw. With Plates IX and X. LUME, in 1825, described a plant from Java under the name of B Sciaphila tenella, the first member recorded of the singular group now known as the Triuridaceae. In 1851 he published an amplified description of the genus with incomplete descriptions of two proposed additional species. Since then botanists have described species, which they have referred to Sciaphila, from Ceylon, North-east India, Japan, the Malay Peninsula and Archipelago, New Guinea and New Caledonia, Brazil and Venezuela ; making a total of about thirty species, most of which have been well figured. Studying these figures in connexion with the specimens of a plant of this natural order discovered by Mr. H. P. Thomasset in Mahe", Seychelles, I have been struck by the very great diversity in their floral structure, and I cannot myself accept the view that they all belong to one and the same genus. I do not propose making generic alterations from the figures alone, and I have not time to examine the whole of the materials ; but I. will discuss some of the various modifications in the structure or composition of the flowers, and compare the Seychelles plant with Sciaphila tenella. All the members of the Triuridaceae are saprophytes or holosapro- phytes, as Johow terms them, mostly having hairy roots, and they are very similar in aspect, being very slender, often almost capillary, and white, yellow, pink, coral-red, purple or violet in colour, with small scales in the place of leaves.

  • Current Trends and Future Directions in Flower Development Research
    Annals of Botany 114: 1399–1406, 2014 doi:10.1093/aob/mcu224, available online at www.aob.oxfordjournals.org VIEWPOINT: PART OF A SPECIAL ISSUE ON FLOWER DEVELOPMENT Current trends and future directions in flower development research Charlie P. Scutt* and Michiel Vandenbussche Laboratoire de Reproduction et De´veloppement des Plantes, (Unite´ mixte de recherche 5667: CNRS-INRA-Universite´ de Lyon), Ecole Normale Supe´rieure de Lyon, 46 alle´e d’Italie, 69364 Lyon Cedex 07, France * For correspondence: E-mail [email protected] Received: 18 September 2014 Accepted: 24 September 2014 Downloaded from Flowers, the reproductive structures of the approximately 400 000 extant species of flowering plants, exist in a tre- mendous range of forms and sizes, mainly due to developmental differences involving the number, arrangement, size and form of the floral organs of which they consist. However, this tremendous diversity is underpinned by a sur- prisingly robust basic floral structure in which a central group of carpels forms on an axis of determinate growth, almost invariably surrounded by two successive zones containing stamens and perianth organs, respectively. Over the last 25 years, remarkable progress has been achieved in describing the molecular mechanisms that control http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/ almost all aspects of flower development, from the phase change that initiates flowering to the final production of fruits and seeds. However, this work has been performed almost exclusively in a small number of eudicot model species, chief among which is Arabidopsis thaliana. Studies of flower development must now be extended to a much wider phylogenetic range of flowering plants and, indeed, to their closest living relatives, the gymnosperms.
