Abstract The Simaroubaceae (sensu lato) family is represented in Argentina by six genera and eight species, seven of which are native and only one non- autochthonous; some are used in folk medicine as tonic, insecticides and pesticides. Leaves were cut previous paraffin embedding and diaphanization. Longitudinal and cross-sectional cuts were made on cortex and leños and were cut and macerated. They were stained with Safranine-Fast-green and Cresyl Violet. Microscopic examination was performed by light microscopy and SEM. In the present work leaves, cortex and leños from Alvaradoa subovata, Picramnia parvifolia, Picramnia sellowii and Castela coccinea were morpho-anatomically analyzed in order to determine diagnosis characters to identify diagnostic characters to ensure the identity and quality of these resources. In leaves, namely, 1. presence or absence of gland hairs, mesophile type, presence of mucilage; 2. cortex: periderm, radii types, crystals, sclerenchyma elements; 3. leño size, pores location, radii, and axial parenchyma, among others. Complete the presentation with photomicrographs and keys in order to provide adequate differentiation between entities. Keywords: Alvaradoa subovata, Picramnia parvifolia, Picramnia sellowii, Castela coccinea, Simaroubaceae, morphoanatomical characters Resumen Las Simaroubaceae (sensu lato) está representada en Argentina, por 6 géneros y 8 especies, de las cuales 7 son nativas y una introducida; algunas son utilizadas en medicina popular como tónicas, insecticidas y antiparasitarias. Las hojas se cortaron previa inclusión en parafina y se diafanizaron; las cortezas y leños se cortaron longitudinal y transversalmente y se maceraron. Se colorearon con Safranina-Fast-green y Violeta de Cresyl. Las observaciones se realizaron con microscopio óptico y microscopio electrónico de barrido. En este trabajo se han estudiado morfoanatómicamente las hojas, cortezas y leños de Alvaradoa subovata, Picramnia parvifolia, Picramnia sellowii y Castela coccinea a fin de determinar caracteres diagnósticos para garantizar la identidad y calidad de estos recursos. En hojas: presencia o ausencia de pelos glandulares, tipo de mesófilo, presencia de mucílagos; en cortezas: la peridermis, tipos de radios, cristales, elementos esclerenquimáticos; en leños: tamaño y disposición de los poros, radios, y parénquima axial, entre otros. Se completa la presentación con fotomicrografías y claves con el objeto de brindar una adecuada diferenciación entre las entidades.

    plants Article First Phylogeny of Bitterbush Family, Picramniaceae (Picramniales) Alexey Shipunov 1,*, Shyla Carr 1, Spencer Furniss 1, Kyle Pay 1 and José Rubens Pirani 2 1 Minot State University, Minot, ND 58707, USA; [email protected] (S.C.); [email protected] (S.F.); [email protected] (K.P.) 2 University of São Paulo, São Paulo 01000-000, Brazil; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 December 2019; Accepted: 19 February 2020; Published: 21 February 2020 Abstract: Picramniaceae is the only member of Picramniales which is sister to the clade (Sapindales (Huerteales (Malvales, Brassicales))) in the rosidsmalvids. Not much is known about most aspects of their ecology, geography, and morphology. The family is restricted to American tropics. Picramniaceae representatives are rich in secondary metabolites; some species are known to be important for pharmaceutical purposes. Traditionally, Picramniaceae was classified as a subfamily of Simaroubaceae, but from 1995 on, it has been segregated containing two genera, Picramnia and Alvaradoa, with the recent addition of a third genus, Nothotalisia, described in 2011. Only a few species of the family have been the subject of DNA-related research, and fewer than half of the species have been included in morphological phylogenetic analyses. It is clear that Picramniaceae remains a largely under-researched plant group. Here we present the first molecular phylogenetic tree of the group, based on both chloroplast and nuclear markers, widely adopted in the plant DNA barcoding. The main findings are: The family and its genera are monophyletic and Picramnia is sister to two other genera; some clades corroborate previous assumptions of relationships made on a morphological or geographical basis, while most parts of the molecular topology suggest high levels of homoplasy in the morphological evolution of Picramnia.

  • Woody and Herbaceous Plants Native to Haiti for Use in Miami-Dade Landscapes1
    Woody and Herbaceous Plants Native to Haiti For use in Miami-Dade Landscapes1 Haiti occupies the western one third of the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic the remainder. Of all the islands within the Caribbean basin Hispaniola possesses the most varied flora after that of Cuba. The plants contained in this review have been recorded as native to Haiti, though some may now have been extirpated due in large part to severe deforestation. Less than 1.5% of the country’s original tree-cover remains. Haiti’s future is critically tied to re- forestation; loss of tree cover has been so profound that exotic fast growing trees, rather than native species, are being used to halt soil erosion and lessen the risk of mudslides. For more information concerning Haiti’s ecological plight consult references at the end of this document. For present purposes all of the trees listed below are native to Haiti, which is why non-natives such as mango (the most widely planted tree) and other important trees such as citrus, kassod tree (Senna siamea) and lead tree (Leucanea leucocephala) are not included. The latter two trees are among the fast growing species used for re-forestation. The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History’s Flora of the West Indies was an invaluable tool in assessing the range of plants native to Haiti. Not surprisingly many of the listed trees and shrubs 1 John McLaughlin Ph.D. U.F./Miami-Dade County Extension Office, Homestead, FL 33030 Page | 1 are found in other parts of the Caribbean with some also native to South Florida.

Weaver, Jr., Ph.D., and Patti J. Anderson, Ph.D. For this period, 101 specimens were submitted to the Botany Section for identification, and 1,403 were received from other sections for identification/name verification (total = 1,504). In addition, 240 sheets were added to the herbarium. Some of the samples received for identification are discussed below: Casimiroa tetrameria Millsp. [pronunciation: kas-ee-meer-OH-uh tet-trah-mer-EE-ah] (A genus of five Central American and Mexican highland species.) Rutaceae. Woolly white sapote, metasano. This evergreen subtropical tree without spines or thorns grows up to 18 m tall. The alternate leaves are palmately compound, with five (occasionally 3-7) leaflets. Leaves of this species are velvety-white pubescent beneath, in contrast with the glabrous white sapote, C. edulis, although Morton suggests that the two might not be distinct species. The cream-colored to greenish-white small flowers are four-merous, in panicles of 5 to 100. Fruits are round to oval, somewhat obscurely lobed, 10-11 cm across, ripening gradually in about five months. The fruit (reportedly, not as delicious as the more often planted C. edulis) has a rough exterior with an edible, but gritty, cream to yellowish pulp. Leaves of C. tetrameria are used by the Maya of the Yucatan peninsula to treat gastrointestinal disorders, including diarrhea, dysentery and cramps.

  • DATING PHYLOGENETICALLY BASAL EUDICOTS USING Rbcl SEQUENCES and MULTIPLE FOSSIL REFERENCE POINTS1

DATING PHYLOGENETICALLY BASAL EUDICOTS USING rbcL SEQUENCES AND MULTIPLE FOSSIL REFERENCE POINTS1 CAJSA LISA ANDERSON,2,5 KAÊ RE BREMER,3 AND ELSE MARIE FRIIS4 2Department of Systematic Botany, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, NorbyvaÈgen 18D, SE-752 36 Uppsala, Sweden; 3Stockholm University, Blom's House, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden; and 4Department of Palaeobotany, Swedish Museum of Natural History, P.O. Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden A molecular dating of the phylogenetically basal eudicots (Ranunculales, Proteales, Sabiales, Buxales and Trochodendrales sensu Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II) has been performed using several fossils as minimum age constraints. All rbcL sequences available in GenBank were sampled for the taxa in focus. Dating was performed using penalized likelihood, and results were compared with nonparametric rate smoothing. Fourteen eudicot fossils, all with a Cretaceous record, were included in this study for age constraints. Nine of these are assigned to basal eudicots and the remaining ®ve taxa represent core eudicots. Our study shows that the choice of methods and fossil constraints has a great impact on the age estimates, and that removing one single fossil change the results in the magnitude of tens of million years. The use of several fossil constraints increase the probability of approaching the true ages. Our results suggest a rapid diversi®cation during the late Early Cretaceous, with all the lineages of basal eudicots emerging during the latest part of the Early Cretaceous. The age of Ranunculales was estimated to 120 my, Proteales to 119 my, Sabiales to 118 my, Buxales to 117 my, and Trochodendrales to 116 my.

Centro Regional del Bajío Pátzcuaro, Michoacán Plantas arbustivas o arbóreas, dioicas; hojas usualmente alternas, desprovistas de estípulas, pecioladas, imparipinnadas, con los foliolos alternos o subopuestos, peciolulados; inflorescencias terminales o axilares, en forma de racimos o panículas alargadas, en ocasiones caulifloras; flores actinomorfas, más bien pequeñas, uni- sexuales, 3-5(6)-meras; cáliz con los lóbulos unidos en la base, imbricados o valvados en el botón; pétalos libres (ocasionalmente ausentes en las flores masculinas y reducidas en las femeninas); estambres del mismo número de los sépalos y alternos con ellos, ausentes o reducidos a estaminodios en las flores femeninas; ovario súpero, situado sobre un disco, formado de 2 ó 3 carpelos unidos, (rudimentario o ausente en las flores masculinas), con 1 a 3 lóculos y 2 óvulos en cada lóculo, estilos cortos a inexistentes; fruto carnoso en forma de baya, o bien, comprimido a manera de cápsula samaroide; semillas plano-convexas a estrechamente elipsoides, testa membranosa, endosperma ausente. Tradicionalmente este grupo se ha estado considerando como subfamilia de las Simaroubaceae, pero como lo indican Fernando y Quinn (op. cit.), existen caracterís- ticas morfológicas, anatómicas y de secuencia de ADN que se pronuncian por su separación como familia independiente, al parecer no muy relacionada filogenética- mente con Simaroubaceae sensu stricto. Los rasgos más significativos que separan las Picramniaceae de esta última radican en el gineceo que es totalmente sincárpico y lleva dos óvulos en cada lóculo.

While Picramnia and Alvaradoa were transferred from Simaroubaceae (Sapindales) into Picramniaceae (Picramniales), Leitneria was transferred from the “hamamelids” into Simaroubaceae. Using next-generation sequencing, we obtained plastome sequences of Picramnia and Alvaradoa (partial) and Leitneria (complete). Protein coding and rRNA genes common for flowering plant plastomes were used for phylogenetic analysis. The resulting phylogenetic trees demonstrate a robust placement of Picramniales among the rosids as a sister group to Sapindales þ Brassicales þ Malvales. Leitneria is placed as a sister to Citrus.

As seis subfamílias de Engler são avaliadas e as três sub famílias com gêneros representados nas Américas são discutidas em detalhe. Os oito gêneros americanos incluem-se em três padrões gerais de distribuição: amplamente distri­ buídos nos neotr6picos; limitados ao norte da América do Sul; e com distribuição disjunta entre as lndias Ocidentais, América Central e México, e o sul da América do,sul. Estas distribuições são discutidas e interpretadas. Palavras-chave: Simaroubaceae, distribuição geográfica, flora neotropical. ABSTRACT - A review of the phylogenetic relationships of the subfamilies of Simaroubaceae is presented and the distribution patterns of the American genera are discussed. Engler's six subfamilies are evaluated and the three subfamilies represented in the Americas and their included genera are discussed in detail. The eight American genera fall into three broad distributional categories: widely distri­ buted throughout the neotropics, limited to northern South America, and disjunct between the West Indies, Central America and Mexico and southern South Amer­ ica. These distributions are discussed and interpreted. Key-words: Simaroubaceae, distribution patterns, neotropical flora. Introduction The Simaroubaceae are a primarily tropical family of about 200 species (Cronquist 1981, Nooteboom 1962a) in 20-30 genera. The primary center of 1 - The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, NY 10458-5126, USA. 12 Thomas diversity for the family is in tropical America with a secondary center in tropical West Africa.
