Tan & Bin Yang, two new species of Malpighiaceae from Yunnan, South-western China are here described and illustrated. Morphologically, H. pauciflora Y.H. Tan & Bin Yang is similar to H. benghalensis (L.) Kurz and H. multiflora F.N. Wei; H. ferruginea Y.H. Tan & Bin Yang is similar to H. calcicola Sirirugsa. The major differences amongst these species are outlined and discussed. A diagnostic key to the two new species of Hiptage and their closely related species is provided. Keywords Hiptage, Malpighiaceae, samara, Yunnan, China Introduction Hiptage Gaertn. (Gaertner 1791) is one of the largest genera of Malpighiaceae with about 30 species of woody lianas and shrubs growing in forests of tropical South Asia, Indo-China Peninsula, Indonesia, Philippines and Southern China, including Hainan and Taiwan islands (Chen and Funston 2008, Ren et al. -

NHESP is responsible for the conservation and protection of hundreds of species that are not hunted, fished, trapped, or commercially harvested in the state. The Program's highest priority is protecting the 176 species of vertebrate and invertebrate animals and 259 species of native plants that are officially listed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms.

NADEZDA A. KONSTANTINOVA1 & ANNA A. VILNET1 1Polar-Alpine Botanical Garden–Institute RAS, 184256, Kirovsk, Russia, email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The new species Jungermannia calcicola Konstant. et Vilnet, is described based on a critical reinvestigation of morphologi- cal features and molecular analyses of trnL–trnF and trnG intron cpDNA sequences of forty samples of Jungermannia s. str. The new species is described and illustrated as well as noting its differentiation from allied species and distribution patterns. New data on some taxonomical ambiguities and on the taxa delimitation in the Jungermannia s. str. are discussed. Key words: Jungermannia calcicola sp. nov., liverworts, taxonomy, molecular systematics, distribution Introduction Jungermannia Linnaeus (1753: 1131) is one of the oldest described genera of leafy liverworts. Since its description the treatment of this genus has been drastically changed. At the end of the 20th to the beginning of the 21st centuries most bryologists accepted Jungermannia in the wide sense including Solenostoma Mitten (1865a: 51), Plectocolea (Mitten 1865b: 156) Mitten (1873: 405), Liochlaena Nees in Gottsche et al. (1845: 150). But in recent molecular phylogenetic studies Jungermannia s. lat. has been proved to be a mixture of phylogenetically unrelated taxa, some of which have been elevated to distinct families, e.g., Solenostomataceae Stotler et Crand.-Stotl. -

Phenotypic Landscape Inference Reveals Multiple Evolutionary Paths to C4 Photosynthesis
RESEARCH ARTICLE elife.elifesciences.org Phenotypic landscape inference reveals multiple evolutionary paths to C4 photosynthesis Ben P Williams1†, Iain G Johnston2†, Sarah Covshoff1, Julian M Hibberd1* 1Department of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom; 2Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom Abstract C4 photosynthesis has independently evolved from the ancestral C3 pathway in at least 60 plant lineages, but, as with other complex traits, how it evolved is unclear. Here we show that the polyphyletic appearance of C4 photosynthesis is associated with diverse and flexible evolutionary paths that group into four major trajectories. We conducted a meta-analysis of 18 lineages containing species that use C3, C4, or intermediate C3–C4 forms of photosynthesis to parameterise a 16-dimensional phenotypic landscape. We then developed and experimentally verified a novel Bayesian approach based on a hidden Markov model that predicts how the C4 phenotype evolved. The alternative evolutionary histories underlying the appearance of C4 photosynthesis were determined by ancestral lineage and initial phenotypic alterations unrelated to photosynthesis. We conclude that the order of C4 trait acquisition is flexible and driven by non-photosynthetic drivers. This flexibility will have facilitated the convergent evolution of this complex trait. DOI: 10.7554/eLife.00961.001 Introduction *For correspondence: Julian.

Davis and Calcicola W. R. Anderson & C. Davis are proposed to accommodate species segregated from Banisteriopsis and Mascagnia, respectively, and Cottsia Dubard & Dop is resurrected for the North American species formerly assigned to Janusia. All three genera are described, their morphology and relationships are discussed, and keys to the spe- cies are provided, with nomenclature for each species. For Calcicola and Cottsia distribution maps and descriptions of species are provided. The genus Clonodia is placed in synonymy under Heteropterys, with discussion of relationships, a key to clonodioid species, and nomenclature and a diagnostic description for each species. One new species is described [Bronwenia peckoltii W. R. Anderson & C. Davis] and 19 new combinations are proposed [Bronwenia acapulcensis (Rose) W. R. Anderson & C.

Stemonaceae): an Endemic to Indo-Myanmar
Modern Phytomorphology 3: 39–44, 2013 FRUIT AND SEED DISCOVERIES IN STICHONEURON MEMBraNACEUM HOOK. F. (STEMONACEAE): AN ENDEMIC TO INDO-MYANMAR Koushik Majumdar & B.K. Datta Abstract. Stichoneuron membranaceum Hook. f. is an endemic species of Indo-Myanmar hotspot whose fruit and seed remained unknown to science since 1850, until they were collected from Tripura, Northeast India. Based on these gatherings, this study is the first report about the development and morphological features of fruit and seed. Earlier historical collections of this species were discussed. Its preferred habitat, possible pollinating agents and seed dispersal mechanism were also investigated.
