Sua maior porção está no estado de Minas Gerais e a menor no Espírito Santo, na Serra do Caparaó. Ficus L. é o maior gênero da família Moraceae, com aproximadamente 800 espécies distribuídas na região tropical, incluindo espécies arbustivas, arbóreas, hemiepífitas e trepadeiras. As características mais marcantes do gênero são a inflorescência do tipo sicônio e a polinização por vespas. Para este estudo foram examinados materiais depositados em coleções científicas, além de coletas e observações das populações na natureza. Foram encontradas 25 espécies de Ficus, sendo 17 nativas e oito exóticas. São apresentadas descrições, observações sobre fenologia, distribuição geográfica, conservação, comentários taxonômicos e ilustrações. São descritas e ilustradas nesse trabalho as espécies nativas, dentre as quais seis encontram-se em perigo, devido à fragmentação do habitat e interferência antrópica. Palavras-chave: conservação, subg. Pharmacosycea, subg. Urostigma, Sudeste, taxonomia. Abstract Serra da Mantiqueira is a mountain chain located in southeastern Brazil. It is located between the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado biomes, extending to four states in the region, with its major portion in the state of Minas Gerais and the minor one within Espírito Santo State, in Serra do Caparaó. Ficus L. is the largest genus of the family Moraceae, with approximately 800 species distributed in tropical regions, including shrubs, trees, hemiepiphytes and vines.

  • Laportea Aestuans (L.) Chew (Urticaceae), a Newly Recorded Plant in Taiwan
    Taiwania, 48(1): 72-76, 2003 Laportea aestuans (L.) Chew (Urticaceae), a Newly Recorded Plant in Taiwan Tsai-Wen Hsu(1, 2), Tzen-Yuh Chiang(2), Nien-June Chung(3, 4) (Manuscript received 10 January, 2003; accepted 11 March, 2003) ABSTRACT: Laportea, comprising ca. 22 species, is a genus of the Urticaceae. Two species were previously recorded in the 2nd edition of Flora of Taiwan. In the course of our botanical inventory, one additional weedy species, namely Laportea aestuans (L.) Chew, was found in the central Taiwan. Morphologically, L. aestuans is closely related to L. interrupta (L.) Chew by sharing ovate leaves. Branched racemes of L. aestuans are distinct from the unbranched racemes of L. interrupta. Laportea aestuans is a species mainly distributed at low elevations in central Taiwan. KEY WORDS: Urticaceae, Laportea aestuans, Taiwan, Taxonomy, New record. INTRODUCTION Urticaceae comprise about 45 genera and 1,000 species in the world (Friis, 1993). Taxonomy of the family in Taiwan has been recently revised by Shih et al. (1995a, 1995b). In total, 21 genera and 63 species and one variety distributed in Taiwan have been recorded (Yang et al., 1996). Subsequently, Shih and Yang (1998) reported a new record, Pilea swinglei Merr. The present account describes a new record of the genus Laportea for the flora of Taiwan. Laportea, an element of the Urticaceae, is composed of ca. 22 species (Chew, 1969). It is a predominant Old World genus (Miller, 1971). Two species were previously recorded in the revised Flora of Taiwan (Yang et al., 1996). In the course of our botanical inventory, one additional weedy species, namely Laportea aestuans (L.) Chew, was found in central Taiwan.

    Chapter 6 ENUMERATION . ENUMERATION The spermatophytic plants with their accepted names as per The Plant List [http://www.theplantlist.org/ ], through proper taxonomic treatments of recorded species and infra-specific taxa, collected from Gorumara National Park has been arranged in compliance with the presently accepted APG-III (Chase & Reveal, 2009) system of classification. Further, for better convenience the presentation of each species in the enumeration the genera and species under the families are arranged in alphabetical order. In case of Gymnosperms, four families with their genera and species also arranged in alphabetical order. The following sequence of enumeration is taken into consideration while enumerating each identified plants. (a) Accepted name, (b) Basionym if any, (c) Synonyms if any, (d) Homonym if any, (e) Vernacular name if any, (f) Description, (g) Flowering and fruiting periods, (h) Specimen cited, (i) Local distribution, and (j) General distribution. Each individual taxon is being treated here with the protologue at first along with the author citation and then referring the available important references for overall and/or adjacent floras and taxonomic treatments. Mentioned below is the list of important books, selected scientific journals, papers, newsletters and periodicals those have been referred during the citation of references.

  • 11Th Flora Malesina Symposium, Brunei Darussalm, 30 June 5 July 2019 1
    11TH FLORA MALESINA SYMPOSIUM, BRUNEI DARUSSALM, 30 JUNE 5 JULY 2019 1 Welcome message The Universiti Brunei Darussalam is honoured to host the 11th International Flora Malesiana Symposium. On behalf of the organizing committee it is my pleasure to welcome you to Brunei Darussalam. The Flora Malesiana Symposium is a fantastic opportunity to engage in discussion and sharing information and experience in the field of taxonomy, ecology and conservation. This is the first time that a Flora Malesiana Symposium is organized in Brunei Darissalam and in the entire island of Borneo. At the center of the Malesian archipelago the island of Borneo magnifies the megadiversity of this region with its richness in plant and animal species. Moreover, the symposium will be an opportunity to inspire and engage the young generation of taxonomists, ecologists and conservationists who are attending it. They will be able to interact with senior researchers and get inspired with new ideas and develop further collaboration. In a phase of Biodiversity crisis, it is pivotal the understanding of plant diversity their ecology in order to have a tangible and successful result in the conservation action. I would like to thank the Vice Chancellor of UBD for supporting the symposium. In the last 6 months the organizing committee has worked very hard for making the symposium possible, to them goes my special thanks. I would like to extend my thanks to all the delegates and the keynote speakers who will make this event a memorable symposium.
