Malpighiaceae De Colombia: Patrones De Distribución, Riqueza, Endemismo Y Diversidad Filogenética
DARWINIANA, nueva serie 9(1): 39-54. 2021 Versión de registro, efectivamente publicada el 16 de marzo de 2021 DOI: 10.14522/darwiniana.2021.91.923 ISSN 0011-6793 impresa - ISSN 1850-1699 en línea MALPIGHIACEAE DE COLOMBIA: PATRONES DE DISTRIBUCIÓN, RIQUEZA, ENDEMISMO Y DIVERSIDAD FILOGENÉTICA Diego Giraldo-Cañas ID Herbario Nacional Colombiano (COL), Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá D. C., Colombia; [email protected] (autor corresponsal). Abstract. Giraldo-Cañas, D. 2021. Malpighiaceae from Colombia: Patterns of distribution, richness, endemism, and phylogenetic diversity. Darwiniana, nueva serie 9(1): 39-54. Malpighiaceae constitutes a family of 77 genera and ca. 1300 species, distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of both hemispheres. They are mainly diversified in the American continent and distributed in a wide range of habitats and altitudinal gradients. For this reason, this family can be a model plant group to ecological and biogeographical analyses, as well as evolutive studies. In this context, an analysis of distribution, richness, endemism and phylogenetic diversity of Malpighiaceae in natural regions and their altitudinal gradients was undertaken. Malpighiaceae are represented in Colombia by 34 genera and 246 species (19.1% of endemism). Thus, Colombia and Brazil (44 genera, 584 species, 61% of endemism) are the two richest countries on species of this family. The highest species richness and endemism in Colombia is found in the lowlands (0-500 m a.s.l.: 212 species, 28 endemics); only ten species are distributed on highlands (2500-3200 m a.s.l.). Of the Malpighiaceae species in Colombia, Heteropterys leona and Stigmaphyllon bannisterioides have a disjunct amphi-Atlantic distribution, and six other species show intra-American disjunctions. -

Revision of Mezia (Malpighiaceae)
EDINBURGH JOURNAL OF BOTANY 75 (3): 321–376 (2018) 321 © Trustees of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (2018) doi: 10.1017/S096042861800015X REVISION OF MEZIA (MALPIGHIACEAE) C. Anderson1 & W. R. Anderson† The Neotropical genus Mezia (Malpighiaceae) comprises 15 species of lianas (except M. huberi W.R.Anderson, a shrub or small tree). All have multibranched, densely brown-sericeous inflorescences with the ultimate unit a 4-flowered umbel of bilaterally symmetrical flowers. The distinctive pair of large cymbiform bracteoles subtends a rudimentary pedicel and encloses the floral bud. The flowers contain elongate sepals, the lateral four biglandular, yellow petals, the posterior often splotched with red, a heteromorphic androecium, and a tricarpellate gynoecium. The three styles are all free; the posterior pair is lyrate in five species but erect in the others. The samaras havean orbicular to oblate lateral wing and a much smaller dorsal wing; in most species, additional winglets and/or crests are present between the lateral and dorsal wings. Only Mezia mariposa W.R.Anderson has butterfly-shaped samaras lacking additional ornamentation. Four new species are proposed: Mezia andersonii C.E.Anderson, M. bahiana C.E.Anderson, M. fanshawei C.E.Anderson and M. sericea C.E.Anderson. One variety is elevated to species level and provided with a new name, Mezia peruviana C.E.Anderson; a lectotype is chosen for Diplopterys involuta var. ovata Nied. Full descriptions and synonymies are provided, as well as a distribution map. All species are illustrated. Keywords. Christianella clade, lianas, Malpighiaceae, Mezia, Panama, South America.

The Genus Mezobromelia - Actual Status and New Species
JOSÉ MANUEL MANZANARES Speaks on: The Genus Mezobromelia - actual status and new species The genus Mezobromelia, discovered by L.B. Smith in 1935, is not widely known to bromeliad lovers and horticulturists. It was named in honor of the German Bromeliad Scientist Carl Mez. Only nine species of Mezobromelia are described in science. These are as follows: Mezobromelia bicolor L.B. Smith Mezobromelia brownii H. Luther Mezobromelia capituligera (Grisebach) J.R. Grant Mezobromelia fulgens L.B. Smith Mezobromelia hospitalis (L.B. Smith) J.R. Grant Mezobromelia hutchisonii (L.B. Smith) W. Weber & L.B. Smith Mezobromelia Iyman-smithii Rauh & Barthlott Mezobromelia magdalenae (L.B. Smith) J.R. Grant Mezobromelia pleiosticha (Grisebach) J. Utley & H. Luther The distribution of these magnificent bromeliads ranges from Peru through Ecuador and Colombia. Ecuador is the richest in this genus and new varieties will soon be introduced to science. About José: Born in Spain, José Manzanares first became interested in Bromeliads when he was only 10 years old. He has degrees in agronomy and environmental sciences, soil sciences and nutrition and plant physiology. He went to Belgium for specialization in the culture, propagation and hybridization of tropical plants, particularly Bromeliads, and spent time in botanical gardens of José Manzanares with Mezobromelia fulgens. Photo Gent, Brussels, Amsterdam, Vienna and London. In by Jerry Raack. 1983, he decided to study Bromeliads in habitat in Ecuador. He now lives among them investigating, studying and writing his Bromeliaceae of Ecuador Monographs. During the 32 years he has been working on the Bromeliads of Ecuador, he has published numerous studies for various Foundations and given lectures on the subject and the importance of Bromeliads in the ecosystem at events in the US, Ecuador, Colombia, Spain, Belgium, New Zealand and Australia. -

There will be no business meeting, no speaker, no general raffle table, and no friendship plant table. Instead, there will be a free bromeliad pup for each member present, the opportunity to win one of the many prize plants provided by several growers, and lots of great food. There will also be a Gift Plant Swap for those who want to participate in the swap. For the swap, bring a plant (a nice one you would like to receive as a gift) and swap it for a plant someone else has brought to exchange. Party Refreshments While the party is underway, we will be enjoying all manner of great food. To make this happen, everyone is encouraged to bring some form of edible, from appetizers to desserts. So, put on your aprons and/or get into your cars and go to the store. It is all welcome. LAST MEETING HIGHLIGHTS Program Terrie Bert spoke to us on eight unusual bromeliad genera that start with the letters H, L, M and N. She discussed their habitat range and general characteristics, and showed pictures of representative species. Below are some of the points she made about each of these genera.

Epilist 1.0: a Global Checklist of Vascular Epiphytes
Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2021 EpiList 1.0: a global checklist of vascular epiphytes Zotz, Gerhard ; Weigelt, Patrick ; Kessler, Michael ; Kreft, Holger ; Taylor, Amanda Abstract: Epiphytes make up roughly 10% of all vascular plant species globally and play important functional roles, especially in tropical forests. However, to date, there is no comprehensive list of vas- cular epiphyte species. Here, we present EpiList 1.0, the first global list of vascular epiphytes based on standardized definitions and taxonomy. We include obligate epiphytes, facultative epiphytes, and hemiepiphytes, as the latter share the vulnerable epiphytic stage as juveniles. Based on 978 references, the checklist includes >31,000 species of 79 plant families. Species names were standardized against World Flora Online for seed plants and against the World Ferns database for lycophytes and ferns. In cases of species missing from these databases, we used other databases (mostly World Checklist of Selected Plant Families). For all species, author names and IDs for World Flora Online entries are provided to facilitate the alignment with other plant databases, and to avoid ambiguities. EpiList 1.0 will be a rich source for synthetic studies in ecology, biogeography, and evolutionary biology as it offers, for the first time, a species‐level overview over all currently known vascular epiphytes. At the same time, the list represents work in progress: species descriptions of epiphytic taxa are ongoing and published life form information in floristic inventories and trait and distribution databases is often incomplete and sometimes evenwrong. -

PHYLOGENY, ADAPTIVE RADIATION, and HISTORICAL BIOGEOGRAPHY of BROMELIACEAE INFERRED from Ndhf SEQUENCE DATA
Aliso 23, pp. 3–26 ᭧ 2007, Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden PHYLOGENY, ADAPTIVE RADIATION, AND HISTORICAL BIOGEOGRAPHY OF BROMELIACEAE INFERRED FROM ndhF SEQUENCE DATA THOMAS J. GIVNISH,1 KENDRA C. MILLAM,PAUL E. BERRY, AND KENNETH J. SYTSMA Department of Botany, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin 53706, USA 1Corresponding author ([email protected]) ABSTRACT Cladistic analysis of ndhF sequences identifies eight major bromeliad clades arranged in ladderlike fashion. 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.
