  • Phylogeny and Classification of the Melastomataceae and Memecylaceae
    Nord. J. Bot. - Section of tropical taxonomy Phylogeny and classification of the Melastomataceae and Memecy laceae Susanne S. Renner Renner, S. S. 1993. Phylogeny and classification of the Melastomataceae and Memecy- laceae. - Nord. J. Bot. 13: 519-540. Copenhagen. ISSN 0107-055X. A systematic analysis of the Melastomataceae, a pantropical family of about 4200- 4500 species in c. 166 genera, and their traditional allies, the Memecylaceae, with c. 430 species in six genera, suggests a phylogeny in which there are two major lineages in the Melastomataceae and a clearly distinct Memecylaceae. Melastomataceae have close affinities with Crypteroniaceae and Lythraceae, while Memecylaceae seem closer to Myrtaceae, all of which were considered as possible outgroups, but sister group relationships in this plexus could not be resolved. Based on an analysis of all morph- ological and anatomical characters useful for higher level grouping in the Melastoma- taceae and Memecylaceae a cladistic analysis of the evolutionary relationships of the tribes of the Melastomataceae was performed, employing part of the ingroup as outgroup. Using 7 of the 21 characters scored for all genera, the maximum parsimony program PAUP in an exhaustive search found four 8-step trees with a consistency index of 0.86. Because of the limited number of characters used and the uncertain monophyly of some of the tribes, however, all presented phylogenetic hypotheses are weak. A synapomorphy of the Memecylaceae is the presence of a dorsal terpenoid-producing connective gland, a synapomorphy of the Melastomataceae is the perfectly acrodro- mous leaf venation. Within the Melastomataceae, a basal monophyletic group consists of the Kibessioideae (Prernandra) characterized by fiber tracheids, radially and axially included phloem, and median-parietal placentation (placentas along the mid-veins of the locule walls).

  • Managing Miconia Calvescens in Hawaii: Biology and Host Specificity of Cryptorhynchus Melastomae, a Potential Biological Control Agent
    Session 5 Prospects for Weed Biological Control in Pacific Islands 247 Managing Miconia calvescens in Hawaii: Biology and Host Specificity of Cryptorhynchus melastomae, a Potential Biological Control Agent E. Raboin, S. Brooks, F. Calvert and M. T. Johnson USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station, Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry, Volcano, Hawaii, USA [email protected] Abstract Cryptorhynchus melastomae Champion (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a stem boring weevil from Costa Rica under evaluation as a potential biological control agent for the invasive tree miconia, Miconia calvescens DC. (Melastomataceae). Adult C. melastomae feed externally on miconia foliage and stems, and larvae bore stems. Under lab rearing the life cycle of C. melastomae averages 218 days from egg deposition until death. Eggs hatch within two weeks; larvae undergo rapid growth for the first 70 days and pupate around day 111. Adult eclosion occurs at day 140, and the mean adult lifespan is 75 days, although it is not unusual for adults to survive 4-6 months. Adults reach sexual maturity at one month, and females lay large eggs at a rate of 3-6 per week up until death. Larval feeding can result in death of the distal portion of stem, and adult feeding can severely impact growing tips and leaf veins. Thirty two plant species, including a variety of natives and non-natives within the order Myrtales, were tested to assess potential non-target impacts of this weevil. No-choice and multi-choice tests with adult C. melastomae revealed a host range restricted to melastomes (family Melastomataceae), all of which are invasive weeds in Hawaii.

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.

Stone August 1988 clacmiIST OF VASCULAR PLANrs OF HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK The following checMist is a campilation of all previous lists of plants for Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (HAVO) since that published by Fagerlund and Mitchell (1944). Also included are observations not found in earlier lists. The current checklist contains names from Fagerlund and Mitchell (1944) , Fagerlund (1947), Stone (1959), Doty and Mueller-Dambois (1966), and Fosberg (1975), as well as listings taken fram collections in the Research Herbarium of HAVO and from studies of specific areas in the Park. The current existence in the Park of many of the listed taxa has not been confirmed (particularly ornamentals and ruderals). Plants listed by previous authors were generally accepted and included even if their location in HAVO is unknown to the present authors. Exceptions are a few native species erroneously included on previous HAVO checklists, but now known to be based on collections from elsewhere on the Island. Other omissions on the current list are plant names considered by St. John (1973) to be synonyms of other listed taxa. The most recent comprehensive vascular plant list for HAVO was done in 1966 (Ihty and Mueller-Dombois 1966). In the 22 years since then, changes in the Park boundaries as well as growth in botanical knowledge of the area have necessitated an updated checklist.

  • Molecular Phylogenetics of Melastomataceae and Memecylaceae: Implications for Character Evolution1
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Open Access LMU American Journal of Botany 88(3): 486±498. 2001. MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS OF MELASTOMATACEAE AND MEMECYLACEAE: IMPLICATIONS FOR CHARACTER EVOLUTION1 G. CLAUSING2,4 AND S. S. RENNER3,4 2Institut fuÈr Spezielle Botanik, UniversitaÈt Mainz, D-55099 Mainz, Germany; 3Department of Biology, University of Missouri-St. Louis, 8001 Natural Bridge Rd., St. Louis, Missouri 63121 USA; and The Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, Missouri 63166 USA Melastomataceae are among the most abundant and diversi®ed groups of plants throughout the tropics, but their intrafamily rela- tionships and morphological evolution are poorly understood. Here we report the results of parsimony and maximum likelihood (ML) analyses of cpDNA sequences from the rbcL and ndhF genes and the rpl16 intron, generated for eight outgroups (Crypteroniaceae, Alzateaceae, Rhynchocalycaceae, Oliniaceae, Penaeaceae, Myrtaceae, and Onagraceae) and 54 species of melastomes. The sample represents 42 of the family's currently recognized ;150 genera, the 13 traditional tribes, and the three subfamilies, Astronioideae, Melastomatoideae, and Memecyloideae (5 Memecylaceae DC.). Parsimony and ML yield congruent topologies that place Memecy- laceae as sister to Melastomataceae. Pternandra, a Southeast Asian genus of 15 species of which ®ve were sampled, is the ®rst- branching Melastomataceae. This placement has low bootstrap support (72%), but agrees with morphological treatments that placed Pternandra in Melastomatacaeae because of its acrodromal leaf venation, usually ranked as a tribe or subfamily. The interxylary phloem islands found in Memecylaceae and Pternandra, but not most other Melastomataceae, likely evolved in parallel because Pternandra resembles Melastomataceae in its other wood characters.

This project has been prepared as a guide to help future Texas A&M Dominica study abroad students and instructors easily identify the many species of Melastomes that they encounter on their different trips over the island. Each page has the genus and species name of the Melastome, and a description with pictures of both sides of the leaves, stems, entire plant, flowers and location where it was seen. Seventeen species of melastomes were successfully photographed and identified during Study Abroad Dominica. Introduction: The family Melastomataceae is the seventh largest flowering plant family. It includes 244 genera and at least 3,360 species. Around 30 of the species are found growing on the island of Dominica. The plants of the family Melastomataceae occur commonly as shrubs and small trees with very few occurrences as an herb or larger tree. One of the most distinctive features of the family is their oval shaped leaves with 3 or 5 main veins running from the base all the way to the tip of the leaf. This unique characteristic is what easily identifies a plant to this family. Different species of the plant occur in different habitats and altitudes such as lowland coastal forest, cultivated land, or forest in secondary succession, mid-elevation rainforest, and high elevation areas. The species Clidemia hirta is very commonly seen anywhere you go and is found in disturbed or cultivated vegetation areas.

  • Bibliografía Botánica Del Caribe I
    Consolidated bibliography Introduction To facilitate the search through the bibliographies prepared by T. Zanoni (Bibliographía botánica del Caribe, Bibliografía de la flora y de la vegetatíon de la isla Española, and the Bibliography of Carribean Botany series currently published in the Flora of Greater Antilles Newsletter), the html versions of these files have been put together in a single pdf file. The reader should note the coverage of each bibliography: Hispaniola is exhaustively covered by all three bibliographies (from the origin up to now) while other areas of the Carribean are specifically treated only since 1984. Please note that this pdf document is made from multiple documents, this means that search function is called by SHIFT+CTRL+F (rather than by CTRL+F). Please let me know of any problem. M. Dubé The Jardín Botánico Nacional "Dr. Rafael M. Moscoso," Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, publishers of the journal Moscosoa, kindly gave permission for the inclusion of these bibliographies on this web site.
