NeoBiota 34: 1–20. https://doi.org/10.3897/neobiota.34.11139 Abstract The value of plant ecological datasets with hundreds or thousands of species is principally determined by the taxonomic accuracy of their plant names. However, combining existing lists of species to assemble a harmonized dataset that is clean of taxonomic errors can be a difficult task for non-taxonomists. Here, we describe the range of taxonomic difficulties likely to be encountered during dataset assembly and pre- sent an easy-to-use taxonomic cleaning protocol aimed at assisting researchers not familiar with the finer details of taxonomic cleaning.

The New World is one of the centers of diversity of the tribe with 24 genera and over 100 species, most of which form a clade called the Lucilia­group with 21 genera. However, the generic classification of the Lucilia­group has been controversial with no agreement on delimitation or circumscription of genera. Especially controversial has been the taxonomic value of achenial trichomes and molecular studies have shown equivocal results so far. The major aims of this paper are to provide a nearly complete phylogeny of the Lucilia­ group at generic level and to discuss the evolutionary trends and taxonomic significance of achenial trichome morphology.

The species was first collected in New York in 1938, but the sole specimen was misidentified as Gamochaeta purpurea . Gamochaeta pensylvanica is reported here with specimens from Bronx, Kings, and Queens counties and observations from Nassau County. A key based on living and preserved specimens distinguishing G. purpurea from G. pensylvanica is provided. Of the 12 species of Gamochaeta recognized in North America (Nesom, 2006), only G. purpurea (L.) Cabrera has previously been reported for New York state (Nesom 2006; Weldy et al. 2015), where it has been considered rare (S3) (Weldy et al.

  • Classification, Diversity, and Distribution of Chilean Asteraceae
    Diversity and Distributions, (Diversity Distrib.) (2007) 13, 818–828 Blackwell Publishing Ltd BIODIVERSITY Classification, diversity, and distribution RESEARCH of Chilean Asteraceae: implications for biogeography and conservation Andrés Moreira-Muñoz1 and Mélica Muñoz-Schick2* 1Geographical Institute, University ABSTRACT Erlangen-Nürnberg, Kochstr. 4/4, 91054 This paper provides a synopsis of the Chilean Asteraceae genera according to the Erlangen, Germany, 2Museo Nacional de most recent classification. Asteraceae is the richest family within the native Chilean Historia Natural, Casilla 787, Santiago, Chile flora, with a total of 121 genera and c. 863 species, currently classified in 18 tribes. The genera are distributed along the whole latitudinal gradient in Chile, with a centre of richness at 33°–34° S. Almost one-third of the genera show small to medium-small ranges of distribution, while two-thirds have medium-large to large latitudinal ranges of distribution. Of the 115 mainland genera, 46% have their main distribution in the central Mediterranean zone between 27°–37° S. Also of the mainland genera, 53% occupy both coastal and Andean environments, while 33% can be considered as strictly Andean and 20% as strictly coastal genera. The biogeographical analysis of relationships allows the distinction of several floristic elements and generalized tracks: the most marked floristic element is the Neotropical, followed by the anti- tropical and the endemic element. The biogeographical analysis provides important insights into the origin and evolution of the Chilean Asteraceae flora. The presence of many localized and endemic taxa has direct conservation implications.

(eds.), The Biology and Chemistry of the Compositae , Academic Press, London, New York and San Francisco , 1978, price £55 (#107.50)* In conjunction with the papers by Carlquist, S., Tribal Interrelationships and Phylogeny of the Asteraceae (Aliso 8: 446-492, 1976), Cronquist, A., The " Compositae Revisited (Brittonia 29: 137-153, 1977) and Wagenits, G. t Systematics and Phylogeny of the Compositae (PI. Syst. Evol. 125: 29-46, 1976), it gives the first overall review of the family since Bentham's time. On the evidence provided, the infrafamilial classification proposed by Wagenitz is most strongly supported, to which that proposed by Carlquist is very similar, except for his placing of the Eupatorieae in the Cichorioideae instead of the Asteroideae . In the previous Newsletter, a list of workers on Compositae and their research projects was published. New and revised entries to this list are welcomed by the editor; please provide your name, institution, institutional address, new or current research projects, recent publications, intended expeditions and study visits, and any requests for material or information.
