No, that country has so very much more! And certainly it has a rich and beautiful flora. Chile’s plant world is strongly diversified and shows inter- esting geographical and evolutionary patterns. This is due to several factors: The geographical position of the country on the edge of a continental plate and stretch- ing along an extremely long latitudinal gradient from the tropics to the cold, barren rocks of Cape Horn, opposite Antarctica; the strong differences in altitude from sea level to the icy peaks of the Andes; the inclusion of distant islands in the country’s territory; the long geological and evolutionary history of the biota; and the mixture of tropical and temperate floras.

Biodiversity Data Journal 9: e63634. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.9.e63634 Abstract Background Species lists are fundamental for knowledge of species diversity in regions subject to intense anthropogenic pressure, especially in poorly-studied ecosystems. The dataset comes from an inventory conducted in 30 fragments of Myrtaceae swamp forest, located in an agroforestry matrix landscape of the coastal La Araucanía Region in Chile. The data collection was carried out using line transect sampling, which was traced through the core of each fragment orientated towards its longest axis. The dataset provides a record of 55 species (24 trees, 1 vine [as a host], 16 herbs and 15 shrubs) including accidental epiphytes (n = 7), hemiparasites (n = 4), host (n = 10) and additionally woody debris (n = 36). The most frequent trees in the landscape were Myrceugenia exsucca (n = 36 records) and Blepharocalyx cruckshanksii (n = 33 records), species that were also the most common hosts.

  • Tori in Species of Diarthron, Stellera and Thymelaea (Thymelaeaceae)
    IAWA54 Journal, Vol. 32 (1), 2011: 54–66 IAWA Journal, Vol. 32 (1), 2011 TORI IN SPECIES OF DIARTHRON, STELLERA AND THYMELAEA (THYMELAEACEAE) Roland Dute*, M. Daniel Jandrlich, Shutnee Thornton, Nicholas Callahan and Curtis J. Hansen Department of Biological Sciences, Auburn University, Life Sciences Building, Auburn, Alabama 36849-5407, U.S.A. * Corresponding author [E-mail: [email protected]] SUMMARY Torus thickenings have been found previously in intervascular pit mem- branes of species of Daphne and Wikstroemia (Thymelaeaceae). A search for tori was undertaken in the closely related genera Diarthron, Stel- lera and Thymelaea. Tori were observed in five of the seven species of Diarthron that were investigated. Presence of tori was associated with commonly occurring imperforate conducting elements and with perennial growth habit. Tori of a different morphology from that of Diarthron were present in two of the three specimens of Stellera chamaejasme that were studied. This study suggests torus presence to have systematic value; spe- cifically, tori are present in species of the subgeneraDendrostellera and Stelleropsis within Diarthron but absent in the subgenus Diarthron. Of 19 species of Thymelaea investigated, only two of four specimens of T. vil- losa contained torus-bearing pit membranes. It is suggested that the origi- nal classification of this species asDaphne villosa be reconsidered. Key words: Diarthron, Stellera, Thymelaea, pit membrane, torus. INTRODUCTION A torus is a centrally located thickening in intervascular pit membranes of wood. Once thought to be rare in angiosperm woods, tori are now known from close to 80 species of eudicots (Dute et al. 2010). Ohtani and Ishida (1978) first discovered tori in three species of Daphne within the Thymelaeaceae.
