In order to facilitate the assessment of biodiversity, considerable efforts have been made towards identifying surrogates because the efficient evaluation of regional biodiversity would help in designating important areas for nature conservation at larger spatial scales. However, we know little about the fundamental relationships among the three levels of biodiversity, which impedes the formulation of a general, widely applicable concept of biodiversity conservation through surrogates.

KRICSFALUSY School of Environment and Sustainability, University of Saskatchewan 117 Science Place, Saskatoon SK, Canada S7N 5C8; [email protected] Kricsfalusy V.V. (2015): Taxonomy and phylogeny of Anemone patens L. sensu lato (Ranunculaceae): A critical review. – Thaiszia – J. Bot. 25 (2): 153-164. – ISSN 1210-0420. Abstract: A critical review of botanical nomenclature for Anemone patens L. is given based on a rigorous literature analysis. Complete morphological characteristics and karyology of the taxon are compiled using data from the floristic treatments of Europe and North America. The phylogeny of A. patens in relation to a variety of contrasting historical, ecological and evolutionary factors acting through the species range transformation and speciation is elucidated. Keywords: morphological characteristics, chromosome numbers, taxonomic considerations, origin, evolution Introduction Some plants, such as Anemone patens L. sensu lato from the buttercup or crowfoot family (Ranunculaceae), with very broad geographical range, highly expressed polymorphism, the existence of numerous transitional forms, convergent evolution, ability to cross and interbreed in a great variety of habitats, may become a nightmare for taxonomists. Arguably, A. patens is one of the most problematic taxa in the genus Anemone L., as far as circumscription and distribution are concerned, which was noted by many authors (e.g. ZÄMELS 1926; TZVELEV 2001). Taxonomic status of A. patens has been widely debated by botanists over a few centuries since the time it was first described by LINNAEUS (1753).

(2015): Exploring patterns of variation within the central-European Tephroseris longifolia agg.: karyological and morphological study. – Preslia 87: 163–194. Tephroseris longifolia agg. is an intricate complex of perennial outcrossing herbaceous plants. Recently, five subspecies with rather separate distributions and different geographic patterns were assigned to the aggregate: T. longifolia subsp. longifolia, subsp. pseudocrispa and subsp. gaudinii predominate in the Eastern Alps; the distribution of subsp. brachychaeta is confined to the northern and central Apennines and subsp. moravica is endemic in the Western Carpathians. Carpathian taxon T. l. subsp. moravica is known only from nine localities in Slovakia and the Czech Republic and is treated as an endangered taxon of European importance (according to Natura 2000 network). As the taxonomy of this aggregate is not comprehensively elaborated the aim of this study was to detect variability within the Tephroseris longifolia agg.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Autumn willow, Salix serissima (Bailey) Fern., is an obligate wetland shrub that occurs in fens and bogs in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. Disjunct populations of autumn willow occur in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Only two populations occur on Black Hills National Forest lands: a large population at McIntosh Fen and a small population on Middle Boxelder Creek.

  • Ordre Dipsacales
    Ordre Dipsacales Avant-Propos § Le Vol 18 de FNA n’a pas encore été publié... Les clés présentées ici devraient être modifiées lorsque la parution sera effective. (in prep.) La nouvelle classification phylogénétique APG IV (2016) a confirmé que les genres Sambucus (sureau) et Viburnum (viorne), anciennement de la famille des Caprifoliacées (97), doivent être séparées des Caprifoliacées. Ils doivent plutôt être reliés au genre Adoxa, représenté par l'espèce Adoxa moschatellina, native du nord-ouest de l'Ontario jusque dans l'Ouest du Canada, mais non présente au Québec. Ils font maintenant partie de la famille des Viburnacées (anc. Les Adoxacées). N.B. Le nom à attribuer à la familles est un sujet de controverse et a dû être soumis au vote… (2016) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4859216/ L'ordre des Dipsacales est donc constitué de 2 familles : les Viburnacées et les Caprifoliacées. Les principales différences entre les deux familles sont que les fleurs des Caprifoliacées sont à symétrie bilatérale (zygomorphes), corolles tubulaires à 2 pétales dorsaux, 2 pétales latéraux et un ventral et leurs fruits secs sont à multiples akènes (sauf Linnaea), alors que chez les Viburnacées, les corolles sont à symétrie radiale (actinomorphes) et leurs fruits sont des drupes, donc à un seul noyau ... Les Viburnacées comprennent maintenant 5 genres : Sambucus, Viburnum et trois autres genres, dont Adoxa, que nous n'avons pas au Québec et Sinadoxa et Tetradoxa que nous n’avons pas non plus… Des 7 genres des Caprifoliacées de la Flore laurentienne, on doit donc en soustraire deux, soit les Sambucus et les Viburnum, mais on doit leur en rajouter 6, pour un total de 10 genres sur notre territoire seulement, soient les Diervilla, Dipsacus, Knautia, Linnaea, Lonicera, Succisella, Symphoricarpos, Triosteum, Valeriana et Wiegela.
