Begonia Jinyunensis (Begoniaceae, Section Platycentrum), a New
Ding et al. Botanical Studies 2014, 55:62 http://www.as-botanicalstudies.com/content/55/1/62 RESEARCH Open Access Begonia jinyunensis (Begoniaceae, section Platycentrum), a new palmately compound leaved species from Chongqing, China Bo Ding1†, Koh Nakamura2*†, Yoshiko Kono2, Meng-Jung Ho2 and Ching-I Peng2* Abstract Background: Continental China is the center of Begonia species diversity in Asia and contains more than 60 species out of about 110 named species of section Platycentrum. Mt. Jinyun, located in Chongqing City at the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, harbors a subtropical broadleaved forest with high species diversity. During a botanical survey in Mt. Jinyun, an unknown Begonia species of sect. Platycentrum with palmately compound leaves was collected and studied based on detailed morphological observations and cytological and molecular phylogenetic analyses. Results: The unknown Begonia bears a superficial resemblance to B. hemsleyana in having palmately compound leaves, a feature unseen in other species of sect. Platycentrum in China. It is however sharply distinct from the latter in the acaulous habit with aerial stems seen only at anthesis and long rhizomes (vs. erect stems to 70 cm or taller with short rhizomes), 4–6 pinnatilobed leaflets with indistinct, decurrent petiolules (vs. 7–10 serrate leaflets with distinct petiolules), and white (vs. pink) tepals. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear ribosomal DNA and chloroplast DNA sequences indicated that this species was allied to Platycentrum species occurring in Southwest and South-central China and Vietnam, including B. hemsleyana, and clearly separable from these species. Somatic chromosome number of 2n = 22 was reported for this unknown species. -

Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese -

DER FAKULTÄT FÜR BIOLOGIE UND VORKLINISCHE MEDIZIN DER UNIVERSITÄT REGENSBURG vorgelegt von Florian Wagner aus Burgstall (Mitwitz) Juli 2019 Das Promotionsgesuch wurde eingereicht am: 12.07.2019 Die Arbeit wurde angeleitet von: Prof. Dr. Christoph Oberprieler Unterschrift: ……………………………....... Florian Wagner iv Abstract Plant systematics, the study of taxonomy, phylogeny and evolutionary processes in plants has undergone considerable progress in the last decades. The application of modern molecular approaches and DNA-sequencing techniques in the field has led to an improved inventory of biodiversity and a better understanding of evolutionary processes shaping the biological diversity on our planet. The increased availability of molecular and genomic data has particularly facilitated the investigation of shallowly diverged and taxonomically complex taxon-groups, which is challenging due to minor morphological differences, low genetic differentiation and/or hybridization among taxa. The present thesis investigates species delimitation, hybridization and polyploidization in the recently diverged genera Leucanthemum Mill. and Rhodanthemum B.H. Wilcox & al. of the subtribe Leucantheminae K.Bremer & Humphries (Compositae, Anthemideae) by applying Sanger-, 454-pyro-, and restriction site associated -

KEY WORDS: Begoniaceae, Begonia , México, Central America, Colombia Continuing research with the Begoniaceae and preparation of the Begoniaceae for the Flora Mesoamericana has resulted in the recognition of a number of new species (Burt-Utley & Utley 1999; 2011), including the 10 that are described herein. One of these species, B. wilburi , is unique in Central America because of its potential dioecy and is only one of two species in the Flora with turbinate capsules. The other known obligate dioecious species in México and Central America are from México, B. -
