The Castilleae, a Tribe of the Moraceae, Renamed and Redefined Due to the Exclusion of the Type Genus Olmedia From
Bot. Neerl. Ada 26(1), February 1977, p. 73-82, The Castilleae, a tribe of the Moraceae, renamed and redefined due to the exclusion of the type genus Olmedia from the “Olmedieae” C.C. Berg Instituut voor Systematische Plantkunde, Utrecht SUMMARY New data on in the of Moraceae which known cladoptosis group was up to now as the tribe Olmedieae led to a reconsideration ofthe position ofOlmedia, and Antiaropsis , Sparattosyce. The remainder ofthe tribe is redefined and is named Castilleae. 1. INTRODUCTION The monotypic genus Olmedia occupies an isolated position within the neo- tropical Olmedieae. Its staminate flowers have valvate tepals, inflexed stamens springing back elastically at anthesis, and sometimes well-developed pistil- lodes. Current anatomical research on the wood of Moraceae (by Dr. A. M. W. Mennega) and recent field studies (by the present author) revealed that Olmedia is also distinct in anatomical characters of the wood and because of the lack of self-pruning branches. These differences between Olmedia and the other representatives of the tribe demand for reconsideration of the position of the genus and the deliminationof the tribe. The Olmedia described The genus was by Ruiz & Pavon (1794). original description mentioned that the stamens bend outward elastically at anthesis. Nevertheless it was placed in the “Artocarpeae” (cf. Endlicher 1836-1840; Trecul 1847), whereas it should have been placed in the “Moreae” on ac- of of count the characters the stamens which were rather exclusively used for separating the two taxa. Remarkably Trecul (1847) in his careful study on the “Artocarpeae” disregarded the (described) features of the stamens. -

S. A. 5 Corresponding author ( [email protected] ) Communicating Editor: Anne Bruneau Abstract— Moraceae is a large (~1,050 species) primarily tropical family with several economically and ecologically important species. While its monophyly has been well supported in recent studies, relationships within the family at the tribal level and below remain unresolved. Delimitation of the tribe Artocarpeae has been particularly difficult. Classifications based on morphology differ from those based on phyloge- netic studies, and all treatments include highly heterogeneous assemblages of genera that seem to represent a cross section of the family. We evaluated chloroplast and nuclear DNA sequence data for 60 Moraceae taxa representing all genera that have been included in past treatments of Artocarpeae and also included species from several other Moraceae tribes and closely related families as outgroups. The data were analyzed using maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood methods and indicate that none of the past treatments of Artocarpeae represent a mono- phyletic lineage. -
1 Updates Required to Plant Systematics: A
Updates Required to Plant Systematics: A Phylogenetic Approach, Third Edition, as a Result of Recent Publications (Updated June 13, 2014) As necessitated by recent publications, updates to the Third Edition of our textbook will be provided in this document. It is hoped that this list will facilitate the efficient incorporation new systematic information into systematic courses in which our textbook is used. Plant systematics is a dynamic field, and new information on phylogenetic relationships is constantly being published. Thus, it is not surprising that even introductory texts require constant modification in order to stay current. The updates are organized by chapter and page number. Some require only minor changes, as indicated below, while others will require more extensive modifications of the wording in the text or figures, and in such cases we have presented here only a summary of the major points. The eventual fourth edition will, of course, contain many organizational changes not treated below. Page iv: Meriania hernandii Meriania hernandoi Chapter 1.

The mulberry fruit is used for many medical purposes. The species origin and adapta- tion, plant description, foliage, flowers and fruit, location, soil, and pests and diseases are 2 School Chem., Wollongong, summarized. Composition of mulberry. The studies from different countries show that the Wollongong NSW, 2500, mulberry plant is rich in phenolic compounds, macro-elements (K, Ca, Mg, Na) and micro- Australia elements (Fe, Zn, Ni). Phenolic compounds are found in all parts of the mulberry plant. Uses. Mulberry fruit can be used for making jam, jelly, pulp, fruit drinks, fruit sauce and cake. Mul- berry fruits are rich in anthocyanins and should be exploited for the industrial production of natural color to be used in the food industry. Conclusion. The mulberry plant is of signifi- cant biological importance for its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Our study sugges- ted the use of mulberry as a potential health food, or important antioxidant carrier in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

MORACEAE Genera Other Than FICUS (C.C
Flora Malesiana, Series I, Volume 17 / Part 1 (2006) 1–152 MORACEAE GENera OTHer THAN FICUS (C.C. Berg, E.J.H. Corner† & F.M. Jarrett)1 FOREWORD The following treatments of Artocarpus, Hullettia, Parartocarpus, and Prainea are based on the monograph by Jarrett (1959–1960) and on the treatments she made for this Flora in cooperation with Dr. M. Jacobs in the 1970s. These included some new Artocarpus species described in 1975 and the re-instatement of A. peltata. Artocarpus lanceifolius subsp. clementis was reduced to the species, in A. nitidus the subspe- cies borneensis and griffithii were reduced to varieties and the subspecies humilis and lingnanensis included in var. nitidus. The varieties of A. vrieseanus were no longer recognised. More new Malesian species of Parartocarpus were described by Corner (1976), Go (1998), and in Artocarpus by Kochummen (1998). A manuscript with the treatment of the other genera was submitted by Corner in 1972. Numerous changes to the taxonomy, descriptions, and keys have been made to the original manuscripts, for which the present first author is fully responsible.

On the Origin of the Fig: Phylogenetic Relationships of Moraceae from Ndhf Sequences1
American Journal of Botany 91(5): 767±777. 2004. ON THE ORIGIN OF THE FIG: PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS OF MORACEAE FROM NDHF SEQUENCES1 SHANNON L. DATWYLER AND GEORGE D. WEIBLEN2 Department of Plant Biology, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota 55108 USA The majority of species in the mulberry family (Moraceae) are ®gs (Ficus), marked by a specialized in¯orescence (syconium) and an obligate mutualism with pollinating ®g wasps. Because of the unique morphology of the syconium, it has been dif®cult to investigate the evolutionary position of the ®g. We sequenced the chloroplast gene ndhF to examine relationships in Moraceae and to elucidate shifts in reproductive traits. The reclassi®cation of tribes is warranted, and the limits of Artocarpeae, Moreae, and Castilleae are revised to re¯ect evolutionary relationships. The results point to ancestral dioecy in Moraceae and multiple origins of monoecy, androdioecy, and gynodioecy. Ancestral wind pollination gave way to insect pollination at least twice. Strong support for the sister-group relationship of a revised Castilleae with Ficus suggests that entomophily and involucral bracts encircling the ¯owers preceded the evolution of the syconium. Bracts surround ¯owers in Castilleae only during early development, but in Ficus the involucre and the receptacle enclose the fruit as well. Molecular dating suggests that ®g pollination is at least 80±90 million years old. The diversity of Ficus relative to its sister group is a likely consequence of ancient specialization and cospeciation with pollinating ®g wasps. Key words: breeding systems; Ficus; molecular dating; Moraceae; phylogenetic classi®cation; pollination. The 37 genera of Moraceae have a striking array of in¯o- taxon sampling in these studies was not suf®cient to resolve rescence forms, pollination syndromes, and breeding systems the sister group to the ®gs. -
Molecular Recircumscription of Broussonetia (Moraceae) and the Identity and Taxonomic Status of B. Kaempferi Var. Australis
Chung et al. Bot Stud (2017) 58:11 DOI 10.1186/s40529-017-0165-y ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Molecular recircumscription of Broussonetia (Moraceae) and the identity and taxonomic status of B. kaempferi var. australis Kuo‑Fang Chung1,2*, Wen‑Hsi Kuo1, Yi‑Hsuan Hsu1,2, Yi‑Hsuan Li1,2, Rosario Rivera Rubite3 and Wei‑Bin Xu4 Abstract Background: Despite being a relatively small genus, the taxonomy of the paper mulberry genus Broussonetia remains problematic. Much of the controversy is related to the identity and taxonomic status of Broussonetia kaemp- feri var. australis, a name treated as a synonym in the floras of Taiwan and yet accepted in the floras of China. At the generic level, the monophyly of Corner (Gard Bull Singap 19:187–252, 1962)’s concept of Broussonetia has not been tested. In recent studies of Broussonetia of Japan, lectotypes of the genus were designated and three species (B. kaempferi, Broussonetia monoica, and Broussonetia papyrifera) and a hybrid (B. kazinoki) were recognized. Based on the revision and molecular phylogenetic analyses, this article aims to clarify these× issues. Results: Herbarium studies, field work, and molecular phylogenetic analyses indicate that all Taiwanese materials identifiable to B. kaempferi var. australis are conspecific with B. monoica of Japan and China. Molecular phylogenetic analyses showed that Broussonetia sensu Corner (Gard Bull Singap 19:187–252, 1962) contains two clades correspond‑ ing to sect. Broussonetia and sect. Allaeanthus, with Malaisia scandens sister to sect. Broussonetia. Conclusions: Based on our analyses, B. kaempferi var. australis is treated as a synonym of B. monoica and that B. -
