A Reassessment of Monopyle (Gloxinieae:Gesneriaceae) A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Jeremy L. Keene December 2013 © 2013 Jeremy L. Keene. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled A Reassessment of Monopyle (Gloxinieae: Gesneriaceae) by JEREMY L. KEENE has been approved for the Department of Environmental and Plant Biology and the College of Arts and Sciences by Harvey E. Ballard, Jr. Associate Professor of Environmental and Plant Biology Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT KEENE, JEREMY L., Ph.D., December 2013, Environmental and Plant Biology A Reassessment of Monopyle (Gloxinieae: Gesneriaceae) Director of Dissertation: Harvey E. Ballard, Jr. Monopyle Moritz ex Benth. is a genus of herbs or suffrutescent herbs distributed from Guatemala southward into northern South America. This assemblage of plants is characterized by the presence of anisophyllous leaves, uncinate trichomes, and campanulate flowers. The genus was last revised in 1945 by Conrad Morton. Since that time, few additional taxa have been recognized. It was comprised of 22 described species in 2011, with two infraspecific taxa. Also, there has been limited sampling of this genus for phylogenetic studies to assess the evolution of the genus. There were two primary foci of this research, a morphological characterization of the species within Monopyle and molecular analyses of the species within Monopyle and other closely related genera. A detailed morphological analysis was performed to determine the morphological differentiation between taxa. This analysis also confirmed which diagnostic characters identified in previous studies were valid and useful. -

He loved it so much that he started a group, complete with a small journal, that he called the American Gloxinia Society. The Society lived on, thrived, acquired more members, studied the Gloxinia and its relatives, gesneriads. After a while, the name of the society changed to the American Gloxinia and Gesneriad Society. The journal, THE GLOXINIAN, grew thicker and glossier. More study and research were conducted on the family, more members and chapters came in, and the name was changed again – this time to The Gesneriad Society. Nowadays, a boy who falls in love with the same plant would have to call it Sinningia speciosa. To be honest, the American Sinningia Speciosa Society does not have the same ring. So in order to talk "Gloxinia," the boy would have to talk about Gloxinia perennis, still a gesneriad, but a totally different plant. Unless, of course, he went for the common name of the spec- tacular Sinningia and decided to found The American Florist Gloxinia Society. -
Temporal and Spatial Origin of Gesneriaceae in the New World Inferred from Plastid DNA Sequences
bs_bs_banner Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2013, 171, 61–79. With 3 figures Temporal and spatial origin of Gesneriaceae in the New World inferred from plastid DNA sequences MATHIEU PERRET1*, ALAIN CHAUTEMS1, ANDRÉA ONOFRE DE ARAUJO2 and NICOLAS SALAMIN3,4 1Conservatoire et Jardin botaniques de la Ville de Genève, Ch. de l’Impératrice 1, CH-1292 Chambésy, Switzerland 2Centro de Ciências Naturais e Humanas, Universidade Federal do ABC, Rua Santa Adélia, 166, Bairro Bangu, Santo André, Brazil 3Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Lausanne, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland 4Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, Quartier Sorge, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland Received 15 December 2011; revised 3 July 2012; accepted for publication 18 August 2012 Gesneriaceae are represented in the New World (NW) by a major clade (c. 1000 species) currently recognized as subfamily Gesnerioideae. Radiation of this group occurred in all biomes of tropical America and was accompanied by extensive phenotypic and ecological diversification. Here we performed phylogenetic analyses using DNA sequences from three plastid loci to reconstruct the evolutionary history of Gesnerioideae and to investigate its relationship with other lineages of Gesneriaceae and Lamiales. Our molecular data confirm the inclusion of the South Pacific Coronanthereae and the Old World (OW) monotypic genus Titanotrichum in Gesnerioideae and the sister-group relationship of this subfamily to the rest of the OW Gesneriaceae. Calceolariaceae and the NW genera Peltanthera and Sanango appeared successively sister to Gesneriaceae, whereas Cubitanthus, which has been previously assigned to Gesneriaceae, is shown to be related to Linderniaceae. Based on molecular dating and biogeographical reconstruction analyses, we suggest that ancestors of Gesneriaceae originated in South America during the Late Cretaceous. -
Amazon Alive: a Decade of Discoveries 1999-2009
Amazon Alive! A decade of discovery 1999-2009 The Amazon is the planet’s largest rainforest and river basin. It supports countless thousands of species, as well as 30 million people. © Brent Stirton / Getty Images / WWF-UK © Brent Stirton / Getty Images The Amazon is the largest rainforest on Earth. It’s famed for its unrivalled biological diversity, with wildlife that includes jaguars, river dolphins, manatees, giant otters, capybaras, harpy eagles, anacondas and piranhas. The many unique habitats in this globally significant region conceal a wealth of hidden species, which scientists continue to discover at an incredible rate. Between 1999 and 2009, at least 1,200 new species of plants and vertebrates have been discovered in the Amazon biome (see page 6 for a map showing the extent of the region that this spans). The new species include 637 plants, 257 fish, 216 amphibians, 55 reptiles, 16 birds and 39 mammals. In addition, thousands of new invertebrate species have been uncovered. Owing to the sheer number of the latter, these are not covered in detail by this report. This report has tried to be comprehensive in its listing of new plants and vertebrates described from the Amazon biome in the last decade. But for the largest groups of life on Earth, such as invertebrates, such lists do not exist – so the number of new species presented here is no doubt an underestimate.

This thesis has not in whole or in part been previously presented for any degree Subhani Wathsala Ranasinghe 24th January 2017. i Abstract The plant family Gesneriaceae is represented in Sri Lanka by six genera: Aeschynanthus, Epithema, Championia, Henckelia, Rhynchoglossum and Rhynchotechum, with 13 species (plus one subspecies/variety) of which ten are endemic including the monotypic genus Championia, according to the last revision in 1981. They are exclusively distributed in undisturbed habitats, and some have high ornamental value. The species are morphologically diverse, but face a problem of taxonomic delineation, which is further complicated by the presence of putative hybrids. -
A Review of the Neotropical Genera Amalophyllon

SKOG National Museum of Natural History, Dept. of Botany, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20013-7012, USA; Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Sarasota, FL 34236-7726, USA. ERIC H. ROALSON School of Biological Sciences and Center for Integrated Biotechnology, Washington State University, Pullman, WA 99164-4236, USA. ABSTRACT. Previous molecular and morphological studies have revealed that the genus Phinaea (Gesne- riaceae-Gloxinieae) as circumscribed until now is polyphyletic. On the basis of these studies Phinaea s.s. is restricted to three species. Amalophyllon, originally described in Scrophulariaceae, is here recognized as a member of Gesneriaceae and as the first available generic name for the majority of the species previously included in Phinaea. An emended description of Amalophyllon is provided and the frequently confused genera Amalophyllon, Phinaea, and Niphaea are contrasted and the differences between them clarified. Eight species are transferred to Amalophyllon: A. albiflorum, A. caripense, A. divaricatum, A. laceratum, A. macrophyllum, A. repens, A. roezlii, and A. rubidum. Lectotypes are designated for two names, Niphaea parviflora and Napeanthus repens. Three new species, Amalophyllon clarkii, A. macrophylloides, and Ni- phaea pumila, are described. A key to the genera and species and lists of the currently known taxa for all three genera are provided. Key words: Gesneriaceae, Gesnerioideae, Gloxinieae, Scrophulariaceae, Amalophyllon, Niphaea, Phinaea INTRODUCTION and the taxonomic affinity of several taxa has remained uncertain. -

Selbyana 2(1):67-132.1977 NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF GESNERIACEAE FROM THE NEOTROPICS Hans Wiehler* The preparation of a new classification of the New World Gesneriaceae, preliminary work for the floras of Panama, Colombia, and Ecuador, and field work by fellow workers and myself have accumulated a wealth of new spe cies to be described, and also necessitate the establishment of four new genera. The many novelties recently collected are foremost an indication that the Gesneriaceae (and most other tropical plant families) have not re ceived due attention in botanical field surveys in the past, even though the neotropical cloud forests and rain forests are disappearing at an ever increas ing, now alarming rate. Of the more than 120 new species of Gesneriaceae currently awaiting description at the greenhouses of the Marie Selby Botan ical Gardens, 48 are published in this account. Others will follow in the next issues of Selbyana. Many of these species have horticultural value and will be distributed to commercial growers and gesneriad societies. I. THE GESNERIACEAE OF THE Rio P ALENQUE SCIENCE CENTER IN ECUADOR Plates 19-26 The flora of this field station on the western slopes of the Ecuadorian Andes will be published in volume 4 of Selby ana. Among the more than 1100 species of vascular plants occuring in the small territory (70 hectares) of the Science Center, there are 14 flowering plant families which are represent ed by over 20 species each. The 32 species of Gesneriaceae found at the Cen ter and in the surrounding area attest to the abundance of gesneriads in the Andean flora. -
