There are no vines among thetn, irnd I believethat the vining habit 6as never evolvedin this group, This is in rnarkedcoutrast to many other genera(e. g. Banisteriopsis,HeteroPterys, Tetrapterys), in'n'hich the vining habit is probably ancestraland extant shrubs are probably derived. The best single characterfor recognizingthis subfamily is the presenceof tlrrce subulate styles sith minute stigmas; the only excePtionis Spachea,which cannot be excluded b:causeit seemsto be closelyrelatecl to Lophanthera.

Byrsonimahas acirieveda rnaior distinction by evolving a fleshy, bird- dispersedfruit, and it is probably no coincidencethat Byrsonimais the only geuus in ihe subfamilyn'ith more than 1i species.\flith the adventof small birds thete has probably been strong selectionin various lines for fleshy fruits. and it is my opinion that suchfruits have evolvedseparately and repeatedlyin the Malpighiaceae. It happenedonly once in this subfamily,in the ancestorof Byrsonima,which pro- bably had a friut like that of Blepharandra. Somewhatsimilar fruits also evolved in the ancestorsof Malpighia and Bunchosia,but other characteristicsof those generado not suPpoft a probable origin in this subfamily,and they are therefore r:xcluded.

  • Facts About the Soufriere Tree
    Facts about the Soufriere Tree Flower cluster of the Soufriere tree, Spachea elegans (G. Meyer) Adr. Juss. The flower of the Soufriere tree is officially recognized as the National Flower of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The botanical name of the tree is Spachea elegans, although it is often referred to as Spachea perforata (the latter name is actually a synonym). The tree belongs to the plant family Malpighiaceae, which is represented by a number of tropical and subtropical trees, shrubs and vines. The Barbados cherry (Malpighia punicifolia) is one of the better-known plants in this family. The Soufriere tree grows to 25 metres (80 feet) tall, and the small flowers are borne in pendent racemes (elongate flower clusters) about 5 to 8 centimetres (2 to 3 inches) long. A recent photo of the flower cluster of the tree (pictured above) appeared on the cover of the SVGAT 2007 Independence Banquet booklet. The official website of the Government of St. Vincent and The Grenadines states the following: “The Soufriere tree was reported to have been collected on the slopes of the volcano in 1804, i.e. before the 1812 eruption, by Dr. Alexander Anderson the then Medical Officer and Curator of the Gardens. An old specimen of the tree is still to be found in the Gardens along with a much younger tree about ten years old. The tree air layers quite readily and will root from cuttings also. But both trees at the Gardens have never fruited or set seed even though they flower profusely and the flowers are bisexual.” The Government website also states that, “The outstanding feature of the Soufriere tree is that it is a purely endemic species known from Saint Vincent only and it has not been found in the wild since.” However botanists recognize this species as a tree that is in fact native to Guyana, where fish eat the green, nutlike fruits.

  • Molecular Systematics of Malpighiaceae: Evidence from Plastid Rbcl and Matk Sequences1
    American Journal of Botany 88(10): 1847±1862. 2001. MOLECULAR SYSTEMATICS OF MALPIGHIACEAE: EVIDENCE FROM PLASTID RBCL AND MATK SEQUENCES1 KENNETH M. CAMERON,2,6 MARK W. C HASE,3 WILLIAM R.

Cladistic relationships generated from the independent data matrices for the family are generally in agreement with those from the combined matrix. At the base of Malpighiaceae are several clades mostly representing genera from a paraphyletic subfamily Byrsonimoideae. Intergeneric relationships among these byrsonimoid malpighs are well supported by the bootstrap, and the tribe Galphimeae is monophyletic. There is also a well-supported clade of genera corresponding to tribes Banisterieae plus Gaudichaudieae present in all trees, and many of the relationships among these banisterioid malpighs are well supported by the bootstrap. However, tribes Hiraeae and Tricomarieae (the hiraeoid malpighs) are paraphyletic and largely unresolved. Species of Mascagnia are distributed throughout these hiraeoid clades, con®rming the suspected polyphyly of this large genus. Optimization of selected morphological characters on these trees demonstrates clear phylogenetic trends such as the evolution of globally symmetrical from radially symmetrical pollen, increased modi®cation and sterilization of stamens, and switch from base chromosome number n 5 6ton 5 10.

Janzen, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, September 3, 2009 (received for review May 13, 2009) The assembly of DNA barcode libraries is particularly relevant pling: the conserved coding locus will easily align over all taxa within species-rich natural communities for which accurate species in a community sample to establish deep phylogenetic branches identifications will enable detailed ecological forensic studies. In whereas the hypervariable region of the DNA barcode will align addition, well-resolved molecular phylogenies derived from these more easily within nested subsets of closely related species and DNA barcode sequences have the potential to improve investiga- permit relationships to be inferred among the terminal branches tions of the mechanisms underlying community assembly and of the tree. functional trait evolution. To date, no studies have effectively In this respect a supermatrix design (8, 9) is ideal for using a applied DNA barcodes sensu strictu in this manner. In this report, mixture of coding genes and intergenic spacers for phylogenetic we demonstrate that a three-locus DNA barcode when applied to reconstruction across the broadest evolutionary distances, as in 296 species of woody trees, shrubs, and palms found within the the construction of community phylogenies (10).
