Regions like Ñeembucú are often considered of lower diversity and interest that more forested regions; this results from both actual species richness fi gures and from under-collecting due to perception as uninteresting. We present here a checklist of the vascular plants of Ñeembucú, which includes 676 taxa (including infraspecifi c taxa and collections identifi ed only to genus) in 100 families and 374 genera. Four hundred and thirty nine (439) of these are new records for Ñeembucú and of these, 4 are new published records for Paraguay.

Friedman Premise of research. Water lilies (Nymphaeales) make up one of the oldest independent lineages of an- giosperms. The giant water lily, Victoria, exhibits pollination and floral traits that are derived within Nym- phaeales. Specialization in pollination and floral biology is often reflected in pollen traits, and in Victoria,this is evidenced by the production of permanent tetrads. Compound pollen has evolved many times across the angiosperm phylogeny, but compound pollen development has been investigated in only a few taxa, and the degree of developmental variation in microspore cohesion is unknown. This article comprehensively charac- terizes the pollen ontogenetic sequence in Victoria for the first time. Methodology. Floral buds of Victoria amazonica, Victoria cruziana, and Longwood hybrid were field collected. Anthers at the sporogenous, microspore mother cell, tetrad, “free” microspore, and mature pollen grain stages were studied using combined LM/SEM/TEM. Pivotal results. Microspore cohesion in Victoria differs from that exhibited by the few compound pollen- producing taxa that have been studied. In Victoria, the calymmate tetrads fuse via crosswall cohesion, but cytoplasmic connections are transient and do not serve as a template for wall bridge formation.

  • Thermogenesis in Three Philodendron Species (Araceae) of French Guiana Marc Gibernau1 and Denis Barabé2
    Thermogenesis in three Philodendron species (Araceae) of French Guiana Marc Gibernau1 and Denis Barabé2 1. Laboratoire d’Ecologie Terrestre, Université Paul Sabatier, 118 Route de Narbonne, Bat 4R3, 31062 Toulosue cedex 4, France. E-mail: [email protected] 2. Institut de Recherche en Biologie Végétale, Université de Montréal, Jardin Botanique de Montréal, 4101 rue Sherbrooke Est, Montréal (Québec), Canada H1X 2B2. Abstract Spadix temperature was measured in three species of Philodendron: P. acutatum, P. pedatum and P. solimoesense. These species showed two different patterns of spadix temperature during their flowering cycle. In P. acutatum and P. pedatum (subgenus Philodendron), the spadix warmed up twice during the beginning of each flowering night with a temperature not significantly different from that of ambient air between the two peaks. In P. solimoesense (subgenus Meconostigma), the spadix temperature rose up to 14oC above that of ambient air during the first night, then it progressively cooled down but remained 3-6oC above ambient air temperature. We propose that the heat production and the spadix temperature patterns observed may reflect different physiological processes and have a taxonomic significance in the genus Philodendron. Keywords: Araceae, flowering cycle, flower temperature, heating flower. Résumé Nous avons mesuré la température du spadice chez trois espèces de Philodendron: P. acutatum, P. pedatum et P. solimoesense. Deux types de courbe de température des spadices ont été observés. Les spadices de P. acutatum, P. pedatum (sous-genre Philodendron) produisent deux pics distincts de chaleur lors des deux soirs de la floraison. Entre ces pics de chaleur, la température du spadice n’est pas différente de celle de l’air ambient.

  • An Example from the Floral Epidermis Ofthe Nymphaeaceae
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2018 Disentangling historical signal and pollinator selection on the micromorphology of flowers: an example from the floral epidermis ofthe Nymphaeaceae Coiro, Mario ; Barone Lumaga, Maria Rosaria Abstract: The family Nymphaeaceae includes most of the diversity among the ANA‐grade angiosperms. Among the species of this family, floral structures and pollination strategies are quite varied. The genus Victoria, as well as subgenera Lotos and Hydrocallis in Nymphaea, presents night‐blooming, scented flowers pollinated by scarab beetles. Such similar pollination strategies have led to macromorphological similarities among the flowers of these species, which could be interpreted as homologies or convergences based on different phylogenetic hypotheses about the relationships of these groups. We employed SEM of floral epidermis for seven species of the Nymphaeaceae with contrasting pollination biology to identify the main characters of the floral organs and the potential homologous nature of the structures involved in pollinator attraction. Moreover, we used TEM to observe ultrastructure of papillate‐conical epidermis in the stamen of Victoria cruziana. We then tested the phylogenetic or ecological distribution of these traits using both consensus network approaches and ancestral state reconstruction on fixed phylogenies. Our results show that the night‐blooming flowers present different specializations in their epidermis, with Victoria cruziana presenting the most elaborate floral anatomy. We also identify for the first timethe presence of conical‐papillate cells in the order Nymphaeales. The epidermal characters tend to reflect phylogenetic relationships more than convergence due to pollinator selection.

  • Why the Monophyly of Nymphaeaceae Currently Remains Indeterminate: an Assessment Based on Gene-Wise Plastid Phylogenomics
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 3 May 2019 doi:10.20944/preprints201905.0002.v1 Article Why the monophyly of Nymphaeaceae currently remains indeterminate: An assessment based on gene-wise plastid phylogenomics Michael Gruenstaeudl 1,* 1 Institut für Biologie, Freie Universität Berlin, 14195 Berlin, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: date; Accepted: date; Published: date Abstract: The monophyly of Nymphaeaceae (water lilies) represents a critical question in understanding the evolutionary history of early-diverging angiosperms. A recent plastid phylogenomic investigation claimed new evidence for the monophyly of Nymphaeaceae, but its results could not be verified from the available data. Moreover, preliminary gene-wise analyses of the same dataset provided partial support for the paraphyly of the family. The present investigation aims to re-assess the previous conclusion of the monophyly of Nymphaeaceae under the same dataset and to determine the congruence of the phylogenetic signal across different plastome genes and data partition strategies. To that end, phylogenetic tree inference is conducted on each of 78 protein-coding plastome genes, both individually and upon concatenation, and under four data partitioning schemes. Moreover, the possible effects of various sequence variability and homoplasy metrics on the inference of specific phylogenetic relationships are tested using multiple logistic regression. Differences in the variability of polymorphic sites across codon positions are assessed using parametric and non-parametric analysis of variance. The results of the phylogenetic reconstructions indicate considerable incongruence among the different gene trees as well as the data partitioning schemes. The results of the multiple logistic regression tests indicate that the fraction of polymorphic sites of codon position 3 has a significant effect on the recovery of the monophyly of Nymphaeaceae.

An earlier study established that Nelumbo wias serologically isolated from the remaining species of the Order ( Simon, 1970). In addition, the data showed that N elumbo had serological affinities with members of the Magnolia.Jes, Ranuncu1ales and Papaverales which were of the same magnitude to those found between N elumbo and the remaining taxa of the Nymphaeales. MATERIALS AND METHODS Extracts of representative species of Nymphaeales, Magnoliales, Ranun­ cu1ales and other orders of Angiosperms, as listed in Tables 2 and 3 of Simon ( 1970), were inves•tigated. Seeds of additional species of these and other orders of Angiosperms have since been available for this study ( Table 3 and text).
