Address for correspondence: Nicolás García, [email protected] DOI https://doi.org/10.1002/tax.12062 Abstract A robust generic classification for Amaryllidaceae has remained elusive mainly due to the lack of unequivocal diagnostic characters, a consequence of highly canalized variation and a deeply reticulated evolutionary history. A consensus classification is pro- posed here, based on recent molecular phylogenetic studies, morphological and cytogenetic variation, and accounting for secondary criteria of classification, such as nomenclatural stability. Using the latest sutribal classification of Hippeastreae (Hippeastrinae and Traubiinae) as a foundation, we propose the recognition of six genera, namely Eremolirion gen. nov., Hippeastrum, Phycella s.l., Rhodolirium s.str., Traubia, and Zephyranthes s.l. A subgeneric classification is suggested for Hippeastrum and Zephyranthes to denote putative subclades.

The traditional subfamilies Tillandsioideae and Bromelioideae are monophyletic, but Pitcair- nioideae are paraphyletic, requiring the description of four new subfamilies, recircumscription of Pit- cairnioideae and Navioideae, the sinking of Ayensua, and description of the new genus Sequencia. Brocchinioideae are basalmost, followed by Lindmanioideae, both restricted to the Guayana Shield. Next is an unresolved trichotomy involving Hechtioideae from Central America, Tillandsioideae, and the remaining bromeliads in subfamilies Navioideae, Pitcairnioideae, Puyoideae, and Bromelioideae. Bromeliads arose as C3 terrestrial plants on moist infertile sites in the Guayana Shield roughly 70 Mya, spread centripetally in the New World, and reached tropical West Africa (Pitcairnia feliciana) via long-distance dispersal about 10 Mya. Modern lineages began to diverge from each other 19 Mya and invaded drier areas in Central and South America beginning 15 Mya, coincident with a major adaptive radiation involving the repeated evolution of epiphytism, CAM photosynthesis, impounding leaves, several features of leaf/trichome anatomy, and accelerated diversification at the generic level. This ‘‘bromeliad revolution’’ occurred after the uplift of the northern Andes and shift of the Amazon to its present course. Epiphytism may have accelerated speciation by increasing ability to colonize along the length of the Andes, while favoring the occupation of a cloud-forest landscape frequently dissected by drier valleys.

  • KEY to the GENERA of BROMELIACEAE at 9/2019 by Derek Butcher
    KEY TO THE GENERA OF BROMELIACEAE at 9/2019 by Derek Butcher This follows roughly the information given in the Monograph by Smith and Downs (Flora Neotropica no. 14, 1974 - 77) which covered 46 genera. This was expanded in Lyman Smith’s paper in Beitr. Biol. Pflanzen 63 (1988) 403 - 411 to cover 51 genera where he added new genera Steyerbromelia, Brewcaria, Pseudaechmea, and Lymania. Lindmania was revived from synonymy of Cottendorfia. In the same issue but on pages 101 - 113 Elvira Gross reported findings on the germination processes of the three subfamilies and one facet is shown in the key below. The key was further updated in 1998 by L B Smith and W Till to cover 56 genera in The Families and Genera of Vascular plants, Kubitzki pages 83 - 86 (1998) where Alcantarea, Werauhia, Ursulaea, Pepinia, and Racinaea were added. Abromeitiella had been placed in synonymy under Deuterocohnia Note that Streptocalyx was retained purely because the genus Aechmea is currently in a state of flux. From a horticultural point of view the retention of this genus tends to make sense because of the similar growing conditions needed to get good specimens. However, Chevaliera was resurrected to genus status because of its clearly delineated boundaries and is said to be more of a natural group. Since this publication the genera have increased to 58 where Derek Butcher has now added Canistropsis, and Edmundoa, and made adjustments to Canistrum, Nidularium, and Wittrockia because of Elton Leme’s recent work Canistrum - Bromeliads of the Atlantic Forest (1997) and Canistropsis - Bromeliads of the Atlantic Forest (1998).

July Meeting Barbecue at Lynne and Pat Echlin's ! 1420 W. Avon Circle, Rochester Hills, MI 48309 Saturday, July 19 at 2p.m. Hamburgers, hot dogs and soda provided. Please email Lynne : [email protected] or telephone: 248-651-9521 to let her know how many you are and what you'll bring along to the party. Guests very welcome! August Meeting Our society has not routinely held meetings during August in recent years, typically reserving it as a “vacation” month. The reality is that August is perhaps the finest month of the year to enjoy bromeliads in our climate, and we ought to take advantage! With that in mind, we will have a meeting on Saturday, August 16, at 2 PM . The meeting will be hosted at the home of Paul and Karen Wingert. The address is 27276 Edgemoor, Farmington Hills, MI 48334. During the meeting this past May, it was suggested that a meeting be dedicated to the process of hybridizing bromeliads. So with a nod towards Andy and Mallory, that will be the featured topic for the meeting. Paul will give a detailed presentation- beginning with the process of selecting parents, the actual procedure of pollination, tagging flowers, harvesting and planting the seeds, stages of transplanting, and then the fun part- deciding what plants to choose for further evaluation and possible registration in the BSI Cultivar Registry and giving the plant a name! Also to be discussed will be details of all the obstacles to hybridizing.

  • Structure-Function Relationships in the Water-Use Strategies and Ecological Diversity of the Bromeliaceae
    Structure-function relationships in the water-use strategies and ecological diversity of the Bromeliaceae Jamie Oliver Males Clare College, University of Cambridge Date of submission: 5th May 2017 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Structure-function relationships in the water-use strategies and ecological diversity of the Bromeliaceae Jamie Oliver Males Summary The Bromeliaceae is one of the largest and most ecologically diverse angiosperm families in the Neotropics. In recent years, this family has begun to emerge as a model system for the study of plant evolutionary ecology and physiology, and major advances have been made in understanding the factors involved in episodes of rapid diversification and adaptive radiation in specific bromeliad lineages. However, despite a long tradition of ecophysiological research on the Bromeliaceae, an integrative, evolutionarily-contextualised synthesis of the links between anatomical) physiological, and ecological aspects of bromeliad biology has hitherto been lacking. The overarching aim of this research project was therefore to use new quantitative data representing a wide range of bromeliad taxonomic and functional groups to elucidate how variation in leaf traits connected by structure- function relationships influences ecological differentiation among bromeliad taxa. Special emphasis was placed on hydraulic and water relations traits because of fast-paced contemporary developments in these fields. The methodologies employed included an assessment of the diversity of bromeliad hydrological habitat occupancy, quantification of key anatomical and physiological traits and their correlations, investigation of the links between vascular and extra-xylary anatomy and hydraulic efficiency and vulnerability, quantification of stomatal sensitivity to leaf-air vapour pressure deficit and stomatal kinetics, and a case study of trait-mediated niche segregation among congeneric epiphytic bromeliad species on the Caribbean island of Trinidad.
