PRINCE Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, 1500 North College Ave., Claremont, California 91711-3157, USA ([email protected]) ABSTRACT The angiosperm family Theaceae has been investigated extensively with a rich publication record of anatomical, cytological, paleontological, and palynological data analyses and interpretation. Recent developmental and molecular data sets and the application of cladistic analytical methods support dramatic changes in circumscription at the familial, tribal, and generic levels. Growing interest in the family outside the taxonomic and systematic fields warrants a brief review of the recent nomenclatural history (mainly 20th century), some of the classification systems currently in use, and an explanation of which data support various classification schemes. An abridged bibliography with critical nomen- clatural references is provided. Key words: anatomy, classification, morphology, nomenclature, systematics, Theaceae. INTRODUCTION acters that were restricted to the family and could be used to circumscribe it.

    Asteropeia and Physena (CaryophyHales): A case study in comparative wood anatomy SHERWIN CARLQUIST Carlquist, S. (Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. 1212 Mission Canyon Road. Santa Barbara. California 93105. U.S.A.; e-mail: [email protected]). Asteropeia and Physena (Caryophyllales): A case study in comparative wood anatomy. Brittonia 58: 301-313. 2006.—Previous analyses of Asteropeia and Physena have not compared the wood anatomy of these genera to those of Caryophyllales 5.1. Molecular evidence shows that the two genera form a clade that is a sister group of the core Caryophyl­ lales. Synapomorphies of the Asteropeia—Physena clade inelude small circular alter­ nate pits on vessels, presence of vasicentric tracheids plus fiber-tracheids. presence of abaxial-confluent plus diffuse axial parenchyma, and presence of predominantly uniseriate rays. These features are analyzed with respect to habit and ecology of the two genera. Solitary vessels, present in both genera, are related to the presenee of va- sieentric tracheids. Autapomorphies in the two genera seem related to adaptations by Physena as a shrub of moderately dry habitats (e.g., narrower vessel elements, abun­ dant vasicentric tracheids. square to erect cells in rays) as compared to alternate char­ acter expressions that seem related to the arboreal habit and humid forest ecology of Asteropeia. The functional significance of vasicentric tracheids and fiber-tracheids in dicotyledons is briefly reviewed in the light of wood anatomy of the two genera. Key words: Asteropeiaceae.

  • DATING PHYLOGENETICALLY BASAL EUDICOTS USING Rbcl SEQUENCES and MULTIPLE FOSSIL REFERENCE POINTS1
    American Journal of Botany 92(10): 1737±1748. 2005. DATING PHYLOGENETICALLY BASAL EUDICOTS USING rbcL SEQUENCES AND MULTIPLE FOSSIL REFERENCE POINTS1 CAJSA LISA ANDERSON,2,5 KAÊ RE BREMER,3 AND ELSE MARIE FRIIS4 2Department of Systematic Botany, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, NorbyvaÈgen 18D, SE-752 36 Uppsala, Sweden; 3Stockholm University, Blom's House, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden; and 4Department of Palaeobotany, Swedish Museum of Natural History, P.O. Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden A molecular dating of the phylogenetically basal eudicots (Ranunculales, Proteales, Sabiales, Buxales and Trochodendrales sensu Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II) has been performed using several fossils as minimum age constraints. All rbcL sequences available in GenBank were sampled for the taxa in focus. Dating was performed using penalized likelihood, and results were compared with nonparametric rate smoothing. Fourteen eudicot fossils, all with a Cretaceous record, were included in this study for age constraints. Nine of these are assigned to basal eudicots and the remaining ®ve taxa represent core eudicots. Our study shows that the choice of methods and fossil constraints has a great impact on the age estimates, and that removing one single fossil change the results in the magnitude of tens of million years. The use of several fossil constraints increase the probability of approaching the true ages. Our results suggest a rapid diversi®cation during the late Early Cretaceous, with all the lineages of basal eudicots emerging during the latest part of the Early Cretaceous. The age of Ranunculales was estimated to 120 my, Proteales to 119 my, Sabiales to 118 my, Buxales to 117 my, and Trochodendrales to 116 my.

Author for correspondence: Zhi-Duan Chen, [email protected] Abstract Capparaceae (Brassicales) as traditionally circumscribed is heterogeneous, and several genera have been segregated from it based on molecular and/or morphological data. However, Borthwickia and Stixis, two Southeast Asian endemic genera of Capparaceae with controversial positions, have not previously been evaluated in a molecular phylogenetic study. Here, we used four plastid DNA regions (matK, ndhF, rbcL, trnL-trnF) and pollen data to determine their phylogenetic relationships within core Brassicales. Our results showed that neither Borthwickia nor Stixis is a member of Capparaceae. The two genera, together with Forchhammeria, Gyrostemonaceae, Resedaceae, and Tirania, formed a clade with strong support. Stixis is closely related to Tirania, a relationship that is also supported by morphological characters, such as six sepals and three- or four-locular ovaries.

HUDSON 3Zhi-Duan CHEN 1(Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA) 2(School of Life Sciences, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210093, China) 3(Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100093, China) Abstract An angiosperm phylogeny was reconstructed in a maximum likelihood analysis of sequences of four mitochondrial genes, atp1, matR, nad5, and rps3, from 380 species that represent 376 genera and 296 families of seed plants. It is largely congruent with the phylogeny of angiosperms reconstructed from chloroplast genes atpB, matK, and rbcL, and nuclear 18S rDNA. The basalmost lineage consists of Amborella and Nymphaeales (including Hydatellaceae). Austrobaileyales follow this clade and are sister to the mesangiosperms, which include Chloranthaceae, Ceratophyllum, magnoliids, monocots, and eudicots. With the exception of Chloranthaceae being sister to Ceratophyllum, relationships among these five lineages are not well supported. In eudicots, Ranunculales, Sabiales, Proteales, Trochodendrales, Buxales, Gunnerales, Saxifragales, Vitales, Berberidopsidales, and Dilleniales form a basal grade of lines that diverged before the diversification of rosids and asterids. Within rosids, the COM (Celastrales–Oxalidales–Malpighiales) clade is sister to malvids (or rosid II), instead of to the nitrogen-fixing clade as found in all previous large-scale molecular analyses of angiosperms. Santalales and Caryophyllales are members of an expanded asterid clade.

LEMKE Department ofBiology, Southwest Texas State University San Marcos , Texas 78666 ABSTRACT Flacourtiaceae are a large, mostly tropical, family containing more than 800 species. As circum­ scribed by Warburg and Gilg the family is rather heterogeneous and indeterminate. The most recent generic treatment , that of Hutchinson, represents a considerable improvement in our understanding of the family, yet Hutchinson's Flacourtiaceae still contain a number of disparate elements. This preliminary generic treatment, based upon studies ofgross morphology, wood anatomy, palynology, and phytochem istry, attempts to provide a revised framework for future stud ies ofthis diverse family. Ten tribes (Berberidopsideae, Erythrospermeae, Oncobeae, Pangieae, Homalieae, Scolopieae, Prock­ ieae, Flacourtieae, Casearieae, Bembicieae) comprising 79 genera are recognized. The tribes Abatieae, Alzateeae, Lacistemeae, Paropsieae, and Trichostephaneae are excluded from the family, as are the genera Aphloia, Asteropeia, Leth edon (=Microsemma). and Plagiopteron. Hutchinson's tribe Banareae is not recognized as a distinct taxon . Key words: Flacourtiaceae, systematics, classification. wood anatomy, pollen morphology, cyclopen­ tenyl fatty acids , cyanogenic glycosides, INTRODUCTION Flacourtiaceae are a pantropical family , comprising 79 genera and approxi­ mately 880 species, which remains relatively poorly known taxonomically.

  • Rainforests of the Atsinanana Madagascar
    RAINFORESTS OF THE ATSINANANA MADAGASCAR These six national parks along the 1,600 kilometre length of eastern Madagascar represent the relics of northern, central and southern rainforests critically important for maintaining the ecological processes necessary for the survival of Madagascar's unique biodiversity. They display notable examples of evolving ec ological systems in an area which for 60 million years has developed in isolation some of the world’s most diverse, rare and threatened biological communities. 2,598 species in 166 families and 1,039 genera, 97 of which are endemic, are found there. They contain two-thirds of the island’s mammals and 25 species of lemur, many now threatened by continued hunting. Threats to the site: The integrity of Masoala and Marojely parks is threatened by the illegal logging of endemic rosewoods and ebony, subsequently exported under government license, and in the depleted woods, by lemur hunting for bushmeat to feed the thousands attracted to the forest for profit. COUNTRY Madagascar NAME Rainforests of the Atsinanana NATURAL WORLD HERITAGE SERIAL SITE IN DANGER 2007: Inscribed on the World Heritage List under Natural Criteria ix and x. 2010: Listed as a World Heritage site in Danger because of illegal logging and hunting of rare lemurs in Masoala and Marojely parks.
