PhytoKeys 174: 13–45. https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.174.59555 Abstract Lobelioideae, the largest subfamily within Campanulaceae, includes 33 genera and approximately1200 species. It is characterized by resupinate flowers with zygomorphic corollas and connate anthers and is widely distributed across the world. The systematics of Lobelioideae has been quite challenging over the years, with different scholars postulating varying theories. To outline major progress and highlight the ex- isting systematic problems in Lobelioideae, we conducted a literature review on this subfamily. Addition- ally, we conducted phylogenetic and biogeographic analyses for Lobelioideae using plastids and internal transcribed spacer regions.

(Campanulaceae: Lobel ioideae) The separation of Lobelia and Pratia on the basis of a solitary character-fruit type (Lobelia with dehiscent capsules, d. Pratia with indehiscent berries) has been a prob lem historically. Several overseas authors (e.g. Moeliono & Tuyn 1960) have opted to combine the two under the early name Lobelia on the grounds that fruit type is unreliable. Citing as evidence Moeliono & Tuyn (l.c.) claim to have examined a col lection of the Malesian species Lobelia angulata Forst. with both fleshy berries and true capsules. Pratia purpurascens (R. Br.) F. Wimmer is an example of an Australian spe cies that may have variable fruits. Carolin (1982) describes the fruits of Pratia pur purascens as tardily dehiscent, but Wimmer (1953) was confident that the fruits are indehiscent. Despite the uncertainty of fruit type as a reliable character for separating Pratia and Lobelia, the two genera have long been accepted by Australian herbaria. Various flora treatments (e.g. Wiecek 1992) have attempted to correlate additional characters with fruit type. Such characters include sexuality, habit, anther tube apex and relative dimensions of the upper and lower corolla lobes. Although some of these characters may be useful regionally for the identification of relatively few species, when all species of Lobelia and Pratia are considered, few, if any, of these characters correlate well with fruit type.

We discuss the landscapes of Botany Bay and particularly of the historic landing place at Kurnell (lat 34˚ 00’ S, long 151˚ 13’ E) (about 16 km south of central Sydney), as described in the journals of Lieutenant James Cook and Joseph Banks on the Endeavour voyage in 1770. We list 132 plant species that were collected at Botany Bay by Banks and Daniel Solander, the first scientific collections of Australian flora. The list is based on a critical assessment of unpublished lists compiled by authors who had access to the collection of the British Museum (now Natural History Museum), together with species from material at National Herbarium of New South Wales that has not been previously available. The list includes Bidens pilosa which has been previously regarded as an introduced species. In 1770 the Europeans set foot on Aboriginal land of the Dharawal people. Since that time the landscape has been altered in response to a succession of different land-uses; farming and grazing, commemorative tree planting, parkland planting, and pleasure ground and tourist visitation.

Br) Benth., hitherto believed to be a restricted Tasmanian endemic, is shown to be conspecific with the extremely variable P.platycalyx (F. Muell.) Benth. The name P. irrigua is retained, as its basionym predates that of P.platycalyx. An �mended morphological description is presented. Key Words: Campanulaceae, Pratia, South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania. Pratia irrigua (R. Br.) Benth. is currently regarded as a containers and irrigated with fresh water, subsequent growth vulnerable Tasmanian endemic (Briggs & Leigh 1988; has considerably longer, relatively narrower foliage. Pedicel Kirkpatrick et aL 1991). As recently as the early 1970s,it was length is similarly variable, ranging from 0.5-20 mm long. known only by the type specimen collected by Robert Brown However, variation in pedicel length does not appear to be from the islands of the Kent Group. Four contemporary so clearly linked to stage of growth or environmental collections of P. irrigua are housed at the Tasmanian conditions.

Wood Anatomy of Lobelioideae (Campanulaceae)
Wood Anatomy of Lobelioideae (Campanulaceae) Sherwin Carlquist Claremont Graduate School and Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, Claremont, California 91711 U.S.A. ABSTRACT The tribe Lobelioideae (Campanulaceae) is represented by woody species in certain insular and island-like areas, most notably the Hawaiian Islands, the mountains of East Africa, and the Andes. Because the lobelioids are basically an herbaceous group in which increase in woodiness is a response to uniform, often tropical conditions, they have developed wood of a type unlike that found in basically woody groups of dicotyledons. Vessel element length and diametet are greatest in species of very wet areas. Ray size appears related to the size of plant: taller, wider rays occur in larger shrubs and trees. Scalariform pitting on lateral vessel walls is common in many lobelioids, especially those of a some what succulent nature where mechanical strength seems less important. To explain how long vessel elements, pre dominantly erect ray cells, and presence of scalariform lateral wall pitting of vessels can occur in such a specialized group of dicotyledons, the concept of paedomorphosis (juvenilism, neoteny) is invoked. Data on 56 species (several collections for many of these) are summarized in chart form, and anatomical features are discussed with relation to both taxonomy and ecology. LOBELIOIDS OFFER A distinctive example of an herba The large Iobelioid genera Centropogon, Burmeistera, ceous group in which woodiness has apparently in and Siphocampylus are mostly Andean in their de creased in tropical insular and island-like areas.

Up to five independent colonizations have been proposed based on morphological differences among extant taxa. We present a molecular phylogeny showing that the Hawaiian lobeliads are the product of one immigration event; that they are the largest plant clade on any single oceanic island or archipelago; that their ancestor arrived roughly 13 Myr ago; and that this ancestor was most likely woody, wind-dispersed, bird-pollinated, and adapted to open habitats at mid-elevations. Invasion of closed tropical forests is associated with evolution of fleshy fruits. Limited dispersal of such fruits in wet-forest understoreys appears to have accelerated speciation and led to a series of parallel adaptive radiations in Cyanea, with most species restricted to single islands. Consistency of Cyanea diversity across all tall islands except Hawaiì suggests that diversification of Cyanea saturates in less than 1.5 Myr.
