F-amilies and Genera of Spermatophytes Ftecognized by the Agricultural Research Service. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Technical Bulletin No. 1796, 499 pp. Correct scientific names and authors for families and genera of spermatophytes of the world are required by U.S. Department of Agriculture personnel and other agricultural scientists. Of the 1,207 family names listed, 399 are accepted, and the remainder are placed in synonymy. For the first time the Agricultural Research Service has made taxonomic and nomenclatural decisions concerning more than 13,500 recognized generic names, excluding hybrids, which are grouped by family and presented both by family and in alphabetical order. All previously published generic lists were alphabetical, thus obscuring the generic composition of a family.

    REPORT: Insect visitors to Marianthus aquilonaris and surrounding flora Nov 2-4, 2019 Kit Prendergast, Native bee scientist BSc First Class Honours, PhD researcher and Forrest Scholar On behalf of Botanica Consulting 1 REPORT: Insect visitors to Marianthus aquilonaris and surrounding flora Nov 2-4 2019 Kit Prendergast, Native bee scientist Background Marianthus aquilonaris (Fig. 1) was declared as Rare Flora under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 in 2002 under the name Marianthus sp. Bremer, and is ranked as Critically Endangered (CR) under the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN 2001) criteria B1ab(iii,v)+2ab(iii,v); C2a(ii) due to its extent of occurrence being less than 100 km2, its area of occupancy being less than 10 km2, a continuing decline in the area, extent and/or quality of its habitat and number of mature individuals and there being less than 250 mature individuals known at the time of ranking (Appendix A). However, it no longer meets these criteria as more plants have been found, and a recommendation has been proposed to be made by DBCA to the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (TSSC) to change its conservation status to CR B1ab(iii,v)+2ab(iii,v) (Appendix A), but this recommendation has not gone ahead (DEC, 2010). Despite its listing as CR under the Western Australian Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016, the species is not currently listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The main threats to the species are mining/exploration, track maintenance and inappropriate fire regimes (DEC, 2010). Fig. 1. Marianthus aquilonaris, showing flower, buds and leaves.

  • MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN RESEARCHER DISCOVERS NEW GENUS Finding New Genus Rare in Modern Plant Taxonomy
    Date: October 15, 2010 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN RESEARCHER DISCOVERS NEW GENUS Finding New Genus Rare in Modern Plant Taxonomy (ST. LOUIS): An article published in the October issue of the Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden describes a new genus of tree of the Aptandraceae family, a group that is related to the sandalwoods (order Santalales). The genus, which has been given the name Hondurodendron , is endemic to Honduras and means “tree of Honduras.” In the article, “Hondurodendron, a New Monotypic Genus of Aptandraceae from Honduras,” lead author Dr. Carmen Ulloa, associate curator at the Missouri Botanical Garden, and co-authors Dr. Daniel L. Nickrent, Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, Dr. Caroline Whitefoord, The Natural History Museum in London, and Dr. Daniel L. Kelly, Trinity College in Dublin, describe the genus as a tree about 40-feet-tall, with minute male and female flowers less than 2 mm (1/8 inch) wide, borne respectively on separate plants. The tiny stamens have rather unusual anthers opening by three valves. The fruit measures 2 cm (1 inch) across; it is tightly wrapped by the calyx which enlarges greatly as the fruit matures and eventually may even project beyond as a flared limb. The authors named the single species known of this genus as Hondurodendron urceolatum with the Latin specific epithet meaning “shaped like a pitcher or urn” because of the striking form of the fruit. The first specimens of this genus were collected by Kelly and a team of researchers and students during a plot-based survey of the forest vegetation of Parque Nacional El Cusuco in northwest Honduras in 2004 and 2006.

  • Origin and Age of Australian Chenopodiaceae
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Organisms, Diversity & Evolution 5 (2005) 59–80 www.elsevier.de/ode Origin and age of Australian Chenopodiaceae Gudrun Kadereita,Ã, DietrichGotzek b, Surrey Jacobsc, Helmut Freitagd aInstitut fu¨r Spezielle Botanik und Botanischer Garten, Johannes Gutenberg-Universita¨t Mainz, D-55099 Mainz, Germany bDepartment of Genetics, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA cRoyal Botanic Gardens, Sydney, Australia dArbeitsgruppe Systematik und Morphologie der Pflanzen, Universita¨t Kassel, D-34109 Kassel, Germany Received 20 May 2004; accepted 31 July 2004 Abstract We studied the age, origins, and possible routes of colonization of the Australian Chenopodiaceae. Using a previously published rbcL phylogeny of the Amaranthaceae–Chenopodiaceae alliance (Kadereit et al. 2003) and new ITS phylogenies of the Camphorosmeae and Salicornieae, we conclude that Australia has been reached in at least nine independent colonization events: four in the Chenopodioideae, two in the Salicornieae, and one each in the Camphorosmeae, Suaedeae, and Salsoleae. Where feasible, we used molecular clock estimates to date the ages of the respective lineages. The two oldest lineages both belong to the Chenopodioideae (Scleroblitum and Chenopodium sect. Orthosporum/Dysphania) and date to 42.2–26.0 and 16.1–9.9 Mya, respectively. Most lineages (Australian Camphorosmeae, the Halosarcia lineage in the Salicornieae, Sarcocornia, Chenopodium subg. Chenopodium/Rhagodia, and Atriplex) arrived in Australia during the late Miocene to Pliocene when aridification and increasing salinity changed the landscape of many parts of the continent. The Australian Camphorosmeae and Salicornieae diversified rapidly after their arrival. The molecular-clock results clearly reject the hypothesis of an autochthonous stock of Chenopodiaceae dating back to Gondwanan times.

  • Terr–3 Special-Status Plant Populations
    TERR–3 SPECIAL-STATUS PLANT POPULATIONS 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY During 2001 and 2002, the review of existing information, agency consultation, vegetation community mapping, and focused special-status plant surveys were completed. Based on California Native Plant Society’s (CNPS) Electronic Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California (CNPS 2001a), CDFG’s Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB; CDFG 2003), USDA-FS Regional Forester’s List of Sensitive Plant and Animal Species for Region 5 (USDA-FS 1998), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Species List (USFWS 2003), and Sierra National Forest (SNF) Sensitive Plant List (Clines 2002), there were 100 special-status plant species initially identified as potentially occurring within the Study Area. Known occurrences of these species were mapped. Vegetation communities were evaluated to locate areas that could potentially support special-status plant species. Each community was determined to have the potential to support at least one special-status plant species. During the spring and summer of 2002, special-status plant surveys were conducted. For each special-status plant species or population identified, a CNDDB form was completed, and photographs were taken. The locations were mapped and incorporated into a confidential GIS database. Vascular plant species observed during surveys were recorded. No state or federally listed special-status plant species were identified during special- status plant surveys. Seven special-status plant species, totaling 60 populations, were identified during surveys. There were 22 populations of Mono Hot Springs evening-primrose (Camissonia sierrae ssp. alticola) identified. Two populations are located near Mammoth Pool, one at Bear Forebay, and the rest are in the Florence Lake area.

Morphologically, Psorospermum is very similar to Harungana, which also belongs to Vismieae along with another genus, Vismia. Interestingly, Harungana occurs in both Madagascar and mainland Africa, as does Psorospermum; Vismia occurs in both Africa and the New World. However, the phylogeny of the tribe and the relationship between the three genera are uncertain.

At the core of this hotspot, across the Strait of Gibraltar, lies a smaller region Received in revised form 26 February 2008 whose singular Cenozoic history and ecological features have created a distinct, nested sub-hotspot. In Accepted 1 August 2008 particular, an important relict flora, a high endemism, and the dominance of vegetation types other than the paradigmatic Mediterranean-type sclerophyllous forests and shrublands, are biogeographical features of paramount relevance. These singular environments may have provided suitable mesic habitats for stable human populations in this region throughout the Quaternary. Here we explore the possible causes of the unique biodiversity of this region. First, we show that endemism is associated with poor soils and mild Mediterranean climate, whereas relictness is primarily associated with riparian and humid habitats which might have remained relatively stable since the Late Tertiary.

  • 1 Una Especie Nueva Del Género Astrocasia
    Acta Botanica Mexicana (2001), 55: 1-5 UNA ESPECIE NUEVA DEL GÉNERO ASTROCASIA (EUPHORBIACEAE) DEL ESTADO DE GUERRERO, MÉXICO JAIME JIMÉNEZ RAMÍREZ Y MARTHA MARTÍNEZ GORDILLO Herbario de la Facultad de Ciencias, UNAM Apartado postal 70-399 04510 México, D.F. RESUMEN Se describe e ilustra Astrocasia diegoae, una nueva especie del estado de Guerrero, México. Este nuevo taxon se distingue de las restantes cinco especies conocidas de Astrocasia por ser un sufrútice monoico, con flores de sépalos y pétalos casi del mismo tamaño y ocasionalmente inflorescencias bisexuales. El género Astrocasia ha sido considerado esencialmente como constituido por plantas dioicas, pero esta nueva especie y la existencia de especímenes monoicos de A. neurocarpa en Guerrero modifican tal concepto. Se menciona a Astrocasia neurocarpa como registro nuevo para el estado de Guerrero y se incluye una clave para identificar a las especies del género que se encuentran en México. Palabras clave: Astrocasia, Euphorbiaceae, Guerrero, México. ABSTRACT Astrocasia diegoae, a new species from Guerrero, Mexico, is described and illustrated. This new taxon is distinguished from the other five known species of Astrocasia in being a monoecious subshrub, having the sepals and petals of almost the same size, and occasionally possessing bisexual inflorescences. A key is provided for the identification of the four species of Astrocasia known from Mexico. Astrocasia neurocarpa is reported for the first time from the state of Guerrero. Although the genus Astrocasia has been considered essentially dioecious, this notion is altered by the existence of this new monoecious species, as well as the presence of monoecious individuals of A.
