  • Ultramafic Geocology of South and Southeast Asia
    Galey et al. Bot Stud (2017) 58:18 DOI 10.1186/s40529-017-0167-9 REVIEW Open Access Ultramafc geoecology of South and Southeast Asia M. L. Galey1, A. van der Ent2,3, M. C. M. Iqbal4 and N. Rajakaruna5,6* Abstract Globally, ultramafc outcrops are renowned for hosting foras with high levels of endemism, including plants with specialised adaptations such as nickel or manganese hyperaccumulation. Soils derived from ultramafc regoliths are generally nutrient-defcient, have major cation imbalances, and have concomitant high concentrations of potentially phytotoxic trace elements, especially nickel. The South and Southeast Asian region has the largest surface occur- rences of ultramafc regoliths in the world, but the geoecology of these outcrops is still poorly studied despite severe conservation threats. Due to the paucity of systematic plant collections in many areas and the lack of georeferenced herbarium records and databased information, it is not possible to determine the distribution of species, levels of end- emism, and the species most threatened. However, site-specifc studies provide insights to the ultramafc geoecology of several locations in South and Southeast Asia. The geoecology of tropical ultramafc regions difers substantially from those in temperate regions in that the vegetation at lower elevations is generally tall forest with relatively low levels of endemism. On ultramafc mountaintops, where the combined forces of edaphic and climatic factors inter- sect, obligate ultramafc species and hyperendemics often occur. Forest clearing, agricultural development, mining, and climate change-related stressors have contributed to rapid and unprecedented loss of ultramafc-associated habitats in the region. The geoecology of the large ultramafc outcrops of Indonesia’s Sulawesi, Obi and Halmahera, and many other smaller outcrops in South and Southeast Asia, remains largely unexplored, and should be prioritised for study and conservation.

  • Viruses Virus Diseases Poaceae(Gramineae)
    Viruses and virus diseases of Poaceae (Gramineae) Viruses The Poaceae are one of the most important plant families in terms of the number of species, worldwide distribution, ecosystems and as ingredients of human and animal food. It is not surprising that they support many parasites including and more than 100 severely pathogenic virus species, of which new ones are being virus diseases regularly described. This book results from the contributions of 150 well-known specialists and presents of for the first time an in-depth look at all the viruses (including the retrotransposons) Poaceae(Gramineae) infesting one plant family. Ta xonomic and agronomic descriptions of the Poaceae are presented, followed by data on molecular and biological characteristics of the viruses and descriptions up to species level. Virus diseases of field grasses (barley, maize, rice, rye, sorghum, sugarcane, triticale and wheats), forage, ornamental, aromatic, wild and lawn Gramineae are largely described and illustrated (32 colour plates). A detailed index Sciences de la vie e) of viruses and taxonomic lists will help readers in their search for information. Foreworded by Marc Van Regenmortel, this book is essential for anyone with an interest in plant pathology especially plant virology, entomology, breeding minea and forecasting. Agronomists will also find this book invaluable. ra The book was coordinated by Hervé Lapierre, previously a researcher at the Institut H. Lapierre, P.-A.

PhytoKeys 136: 1–21. https://doi.org/10.3897/ phytokeys.136.38558 Abstract The systematics of Tryssophyton, herbs endemic to the Pakaraima Mountains of western Guyana, is re- viewed and Tryssophyton quadrifolius K.Wurdack & Michelang., sp. nov. from the summit of Kamakusa Mountain is described as the second species in the genus. The new species is distinguished from its closest relative, Tryssophyton merumense, by striking vegetative differences, including number of leaves per stem and leaf architecture. A phylogenetic analysis of sequence data from three plastid loci and Melastomata- ceae-wide taxon sampling is presented. The two species of Tryssophyton are recovered as monophyletic and associated with mostly Old World tribe Sonerileae. Fruit, seed and leaf morphology are described for the first time, biogeography is discussed and both species are illustrated.

  • Carpology of the Genus Tragopogon L. (Asteraceae)
    Phytotaxa 201 (1): 027–049 ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/ PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2015 Magnolia Press Article ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.201.1.2 Carpology of the genus Tragopogon L. (Asteraceae) ALEXANDER P. SUKHORUKOV1* & MAYA V. NILOVA1 1 Department of Higher Plants, Biological Faculty, Moscow Lomonosov State University, 119234, Moscow, Russia; [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract 67 species of Tragopogon were investigated with regard to fruit anatomy. The outer achenes, especially the beak and the central part of the seed-containing body, provide the most valuable features (diameter and outlines of the body and the beak, and arrangement of the mechanical elements in the body parenchyma). Some specimens of widely distributed taxa (e.g. T. capitatus, T. dubius, T. pratensis, T. pseudomajor) show variation in the character set and require more investigation prior to further taxonomic treatment. The species studied are classified into informal groups to demonstrate the diversity of carpo- logical traits within the genus, and a comparison is made with the existing molecular phylogeny. The separation of the genus Geropogon from Tragopogon is supported by the achene anatomy. Key words: Geropogon, Scorzonerinae, Cichorieae, taxonomy, molecular phylogeny Introduction The genus Tragopogon L. (Asteraceae: Cichorieae, Scorzonerinae) comprises about 150 species distributed mostly in semiarid and mountainous regions of Eurasia (Bell et al. 2012). As a rule they are easily recognized by the grass- like, long, undifferentiated, basally broadened, semi-amplexicaul leaves; well-developed, sometimes apically inflated peduncules; cylindrical involucres consisting of (5–6)7–12 phyllaries arranged usually in a single row, rarely in 2 rows; large capitula with yellow, reddish yellow or mauve flowers, and large (1 cm and above) tuberculate fruits (achenes) with a plumose pappus.

    Plant Systematics and Evolution (2020) 306:7 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00606-020-01633-3 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Phylogenetic placement of Ivodea and biogeographic afnities of Malagasy Rutaceae Marc S. Appelhans1,2 · Jun Wen2 Received: 6 December 2018 / Accepted: 8 January 2020 / Published online: 1 February 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract The genus Ivodea is endemic to Madagascar and the Comoros and consists of 30 species. This study is the frst to include the genus in a molecular phylogenetic analysis. We sequenced the plastid trnL–trnF and the nuclear ITS regions for three Ivodea species and revealed that the genus is monophyletic and most closely related to the African and Malagasy Vepris, refuting earlier suggestions of a close relationship between Ivodea and the Asian, Malesian, Australasian and Pacifc genera Euodia and Melicope. Ivodea and Vepris provide another example of closely related pairs of Rutaceous groups that have drupaceous and capsular/follicular fruits, respectively, thus further confrming that fruit types are not suited to delimit sub- families in Rutaceae, as has often been done in the past. Ivodea was the last of the seven Malagasy genera to be included in the Rutaceae phylogeny, making it possible to conduct an assessment of biogeographic afnities of the genera that occur on the island. Our assessments based on sister-group relationships suggest that the eight lineages (representing seven genera) of Malagasy Rutaceae either have African or have Asian afnities. Two lineages have an African origin, and one lineage has an Asian origin. Taxon sampling is insufcient to interpret the directionality of dispersal events in the remaining lineages.

This species is morphologically similar to O. verticillata, but can be easily distinguished by its white flowers and the inflorescences cauliflorous or emerging from short and patent branches on the stem. The new species is endemic to a single locality in the central region of Espírito Santo, in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, and according to the criteria of the IUCN Red List of endangered plant species, it is regarded as “vulnerable”. Key words: Brazil, endemism, Espírito Santo, new species, taxonomy Introduction The pantropical plant family Ochnaceae represents one of the well-supported subclades of the large order Malpighiales retrieved so far in molecular phylogenetic studies, which agrees with floral morphology, anatomy and histology (Matthews et al. 2012). The center of diversity of the family in the Neotropics is in the Amazon Basin, with some genera exclusive to this phytogeographic domain, and with a few with extra-Amazonian distributions, being restricted to the Andean Forests or to the Brazilian Cerrado and Atlantic Forest (Fiaschi et al.

All vascular plants were enumerated and identified. Importance value index (IVI) was computed to characterize the floristic composition. To capture different aspects of species diversity, we considered five different indices. The mean stem density was 7585 stems per ha. In total 36797 vascular plants representing 348 species belong to 227 genera in 89 families were identified within 5-ha of a coastal hill forest that is comprises 4.2% species, 10.7% genera and 34.7% families of the total taxa found in Peninsular Malaysia. Based on IVI, Agrostistachys longifolia (IVI 1245), Eugeissona tristis (IVI 890), Calophyllum wallichianum (IVI 807), followed by Taenitis blechnoides (IVI 784) were the most dominant species. The most speciose rich families were Rubiaceae having 27 species, followed by Dipterocarpaceae (21 species), Euphorbiaceae (20 species) and Palmae (14 species). According to growth forms, 57% of all species were trees, 13% shrubs, 10% herbs, 9% lianas, 4% palms, 3.5% climbers and 3% ferns.
