As thosemembers who have attendedother very successfulBSBI meetingsthere will already know (plantworkshops, AGM, day conferencesetc.), the P.S.L.at Readinghave excellent facilities which canorovide for all the variedactivities which we havecome to associatewith our Exhibition meetingsin recentyears:- space for exhibits and our books,space for tea and convetsation,a lecture theatrefor slidesand a seniorcommon room for our eveningConversazione buff'et. Equally import- ant, or almost more so, the BSBI has beenolfered a warm welcomefor this meetingby Professor JohnParker, Professor ofBotany, andhis colleaguesin theSchool ofPlant Sciences. tmDortant Notices / Editorial Additional facilities, which have not beenavailable in London, are ample car parking on site, and an easybusjourney fiom Readingstation. The notice and programmewill be sentout as usual in the Septembermailing, and with this StephenJury will be able to sendmaps, directions from the rail stationand detailsof busesfrom centralLondon, someof which stop very closeby the campus- for thoserequiring these.Also suggestionsfor B & B accommodationfor thosewho would like to enjoy the Conversazioneand stay ovemight. We look forward to this Exhibition 1993at Readingas a new venture,with the possibility of returning n€xt year to the Natural History Museum,if prob- lems of spacein our 'traditional'home can be solved.

  • Filogenia, Biogeografia E Conservação Do Gênero Trichocline Cass. (Asteraceae, Mutisieae)
    1 UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DO RIO GRANDE DO SUL INSTITUTO DE BIOCIÊNCIAS DEPARTAMENTO DE BOTÂNICA PROGRAMA DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO EM BOTÂNICA Doutorando: Eduardo Pasini Orientadora:Dra. Sílvia T. S. Miotto Co-orientadora: Dra. Tatiana Teixeira de Souza-Chies Colaboradora: Drª. Liliana Katinas Filogenia, biogeografia e conservação do gênero Trichocline Cass. (Asteraceae, Mutisieae) 1. Introdução 1.1. Abordagem sistemática Asteraceae é uma das principais famílias botânicas dentre as angiospermas por apresentar o maior número de espécies descritas e aceitas até o momento. Estimativas mostram que apesar das 24.000 espécies já descritas, pode haver um total de 30.000 em 1600 a 1700 gêneros distribuídos ao redor do globo, com exceção da Antártida (Funk et al. 2009). As relações filogenéticas dentro da família estão cada vez mais claras, devido a trabalhos de biologia molecular (e.g. Jansen et al. 1991; Karis et al. 1992; Karis 1993; Kim & Jansen 1995; Kim et al. 2005; Panero & Funk 2008). Os resultados de tais trabalhos apontam uma natural dicotomia representada por dois grupos monofiléticos, a subfamília Barnadesioideae (Bremer & Jansen 1992), como o grupo mais cedo divergente, e o restante das Asteraceae. Atualmente, reconhece-se 12 subfamílias e 43 tribos (Funk et al. 2009). A subfamília Mutisioideae representa grandes desafios na elucidação das relações filogenéticas da família, uma vez que é parafilética e juntamente com a subfamília Barnadesioideae constitui o clado-irmão dos demais agrupamentos (Funk et al. 2009). Atualmente, são aceitas duas classificações principais da subfamília, uma compreendida por estudos de natureza morfológica e 2 outra sustentada por evidências filogenéticas. O primeiro conceito (Mutisioideae sensu lato) compreende 74 gêneros e 865 espécies, distribuídas em três tribos, Mutisieae, Nassauvieae e Stifftieae (Katinas et al.

Eduardo Pasini A compreensão da tribo Mutisieae s.l. é essencial para elucidar a radia- ção evolutiva e as relações de parentesco entre as Asteraceae basais (FUNK et al., 2009), além de proporcionar o entendimento de gêneros muito pecu- liares e isolados (BREMER, 1994). Cabrera (1977) realizou o estudo mais completo e global envolvendo a tribo Mutisieae, cuja classificação serviu de subsídio até a descoberta da subtribo Barnadesiinae Benth. & Hook como grupo irmão para o resto da família (JANSEN; PALMER, 1987). Estudos revisivos e cladísticos, como de Cabrera (1977), Hansen (1991), Karis, Kallersjoån e Bremer (1992), Bremer e Jansen 1992 e Bremer (1994, 1996), invariavelmente, concluíram que a tribo Mutisieae (sensu Cabrera) era parafilética e necessitava ser desmembrada. Contudo, esses estudos não apresentaram um consenso para a obtenção de uma classificação estável para o grupo, de modo que conclusões sobre a sua circunscrição eram ainda contraditórias.

HONG and S.-L. ZHOU Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2003, 143, 135–150. With 11 figures Paeonia (Paeoniaceae) in the Caucasus DE-YUAN HONG* and SHI-LIANG ZHOU Laboratory of Systematic and Evolutionary Botany, Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 20 Nanxincun, Xiangshan, Beijing 100093, China Received October 2000; accepted for publication February 2003 The taxonomy of the genus Paeonia in the Caucasus has been controversial, with recognized species varying in num- ber from one to 13. The taxonomic history of Paeonia in this area is reviewed (including an analysis of the characters used by previous authors) based on extensive field observations, population sampling and critical examination of a large number of herbarium specimens. The results show that Paeonia may be divided into three groups. The P. intermedia group is known from only a single population. In the P. tenuifolia group, all the characters used for dis- tinguishing the three previously recognized species were found to be polymorphic. In the P. daurica group, petal colour, shape and size of leaflets, and indumentum of leaflets and carpels were used to distinguish nine species, but these characters were found to be polymorphic or continuous in variation, and thus can only be used for infraspecific classification. Thus, three species are recognized: P. intermedia, P. tenuifolia and P. daurica. The last species is fur- ther divided into five subspecies: sspp. coriifolia, wittmanniana, mlokosewitschii, macrophylla and tomen- tosa stat.

In this study, the position of the Asian Gerbera species was further assessed based on morphol- ogy and molecular phylogenetic analyses that included six Asian Gerbera and 26 other species from the Gerbera-complex. Morphological results showed that the six Asian Gerbera species, which were sampled, bear leaves with the adaxial epidermal surface lacking stomates, possess bracteate scapes and lack inner ray florets.

This perennial herb was first named as Onoseris hieracioides Kunth and was later recognised as Trichocline hieracioides (Kunth) Ferreyra. Now it is generally treated as Gerbera hieracioides (Kunth) Zardini but it has never been included in any section of Gerbera. In this study, the position of Gerbera hieracioides is assessed based on morphology and a molecular phylogeny that includes G. hieracioides and 28 other species from the Gerbera-complex. Morphologically, G. hieracioides bears leaves with the adaxial epidermal surface without stomates but with soft thin trichomes, bracteate scapes, trimorphic capitula and inner ray florets with the corolla shorter than the style.

Louis, MO 63166 2154 Union Street, Manchester, N.H. 03104 Abstract: An illustrated treatment of 171 Venezuelan Araceae taxa is provided. Discussion of range, species characteristics and distinction from similar or closely related species is made for each taxon. Sixteen species, three subspecies and one variety are described as new, and three new combinations are made.

Funkb a Section of Integrative Biology, 1 University Station, A6700, 141 Patterson Building, University of Texas, Austin, TX 78712, USA b US National Herbarium, Department of Botany, P. O. Box 37012, Smithsonian Institution MRC 166, Washington, DC 20013-7012, USA Received 17 August 2007; revised 11 February 2008; accepted 12 February 2008 Available online 28 March 2008 Abstract The largest family of flowering plants Asteraceae (Compositae) is found to contain 12 major lineages rather than five as previously suggested. Five of these lineages heretofore had been circumscribed in tribe Mutisieae (Cichorioideae), a taxon shown by earlier molec- ular studies to be paraphyletic and to include some of the deepest divergences of the family. Combined analyses of 10 chloroplast DNA loci by different phylogenetic methods yielded highly congruent well-resolved trees with 95% of the branches receiving moderate to strong statistical support. Our strategy of sampling genera identified by morphological studies as anomalous, supported by broader character sampling than previous studies, resulted in identification of several novel clades. The generic compositions of subfamilies Carduoideae, Gochnatioideae, Hecastocleidoideae, Mutisioideae, Pertyoideae, Stifftioideae, and Wunderlichioideae are novel in Asteraceae systematics and the taxonomy of the family has been revised to reflect only monophyletic groups. Our results contradict earlier hypotheses that early divergences in the family took place on and spread from the Guayana Highlands (Pantepui Province of northern South America) and raise new hypotheses about how Asteraceae dispersed out of the continent of their origin.
