A Taxono1vhc Revision of the Genus Faradaya F. Muell
J. Adelaide Bot. Gard 10(2): 165-177 (1987) A TAXONO1VHC REVISION OF THE GENUS FARADAYA F. MUELL. (VERBENACEAE)* IN AUSTRALIA Ahmad Abid Munir State Herbarium, Botanic Gardens, North Terrace, Adelaide, South Australia 5000 Abstract A taxonomic revision of Faradaya in Australia is presented. The following two species are recognised: F. albertisii and E splendida. F. albertisii is confirmed from Australia. A wide range of material has been examined from Malesia and Oceania. The affinities and distribution are considered for the genus and each species. A key to the species is provided and a detailed description of each species is supplemented by an illustration. Taxonomic History of the Genus The genus Faradaya was described by F. Mueller (1865) with one species, E splendida, the type of which came from Queensland. Originally it was placed in the Bignoniaceae, but soon after its publication, Seemann (1865) referred the genus to the "Natural Order Verbenaceae, closely related to Clerodendrum and Oxera". The family Verbenaceae has been accepted for the genus by all subsequent botanists. Earlier, one Faradaya collection from Tonga and another from Fiji were respectively described by Seemann (1862) and Asa Gray (1862) as new species of Clerodendrum. In view of their difference from other Clerodendrum taxa, Asa Gray (1862) formed for them a new section of the genus namely Clerodendrum sect. Tetrathyranthus A. Gray. Subsequently, Seemann (1865) recognised both types of the section Tetrathyranthus as Faradaya species and thus reduced this section to synonymy under Faradaya. Bentham (1870, 1876) divided the family Verbenaceae into different tribes, with Faradaya in the tribe Viticeae subtribe Oxereae.

Lamiales – Synoptical Classification Vers
Lamiales – Synoptical classification vers. 2.6.2 (in prog.) Updated: 12 April, 2016 A Synoptical Classification of the Lamiales Version 2.6.2 (This is a working document) Compiled by Richard Olmstead With the help of: D. Albach, P. Beardsley, D. Bedigian, B. Bremer, P. Cantino, J. Chau, J. L. Clark, B. Drew, P. Garnock- Jones, S. Grose (Heydler), R. Harley, H.-D. Ihlenfeldt, B. Li, L. Lohmann, S. Mathews, L. McDade, K. Müller, E. Norman, N. O’Leary, B. Oxelman, J. Reveal, R. Scotland, J. Smith, D. Tank, E. Tripp, S. Wagstaff, E. Wallander, A. Weber, A. Wolfe, A. Wortley, N. Young, M. Zjhra, and many others [estimated 25 families, 1041 genera, and ca. 21,878 species in Lamiales] The goal of this project is to produce a working infraordinal classification of the Lamiales to genus with information on distribution and species richness. All recognized taxa will be clades; adherence to Linnaean ranks is optional. Synonymy is very incomplete (comprehensive synonymy is not a goal of the project, but could be incorporated). Although I anticipate producing a publishable version of this classification at a future date, my near- term goal is to produce a web-accessible version, which will be available to the public and which will be updated regularly through input from systematists familiar with taxa within the Lamiales. For further information on the project and to provide information for future versions, please contact R. Olmstead via email at [email protected], or by regular mail at: Department of Biology, Box 355325, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195, USA.

Mabberley's Scholarship
Gardens’ Bulletin Singapore 71(Suppl. 2):25-42. 2019 25 doi: 10.26492/gbs71(suppl. 2).2019-04 Mabberley’s scholarship M.F. Large School of Environmental & Animal Sciences, Unitec, Auckland 1025, New Zealand [email protected] ABSTRACT. David Mabberley’s distinguished and productive academic and administrative positions, roles, honours, books and other publications are given. Keywords. Awards, Cambridge, eponymy, Kew, Leiden, Oxford, Plant-book, Seattle, Sydney, Wadham College The flow of books David Mabberley’s first book was a volume of papers dedicated to E.J.H. Corner on his 70th birthday, which he edited jointly with the late Chang Kiaw Lan (1927–2003), also one of Corner’s students at Cambridge. There followed, in 1981, a volume of reprinted essays by Arthur Harry Church, who had inspired Corner from early on, and, two years later, the first edition of the tertiary level text-bookTropical rain forest ecology. Two more years elapsed before the highly acclaimed Jupiter botanicus, a biography of Robert Brown, marking the first of David’s substantial contributions to the history of botanical science. In 1987, came the first edition of a book for which he is now, of course, famous world-wide: The Plant-book — the 706 page dictionary of vascular plants. Data and cross references for this dictionary were originally kept on cards and the manuscript was typed, as Anne Sing recalls in this volume. It is noteworthy that at this point, David had not yet turned forty. The Plant-book (eventually to become Mabberley’s plant-book in 2008, and now in its fourth edition) has a reappearing role in David’s output, where interludes between editions have seen the appearance of volumes such as: An exquisite eye: The Australian flora and fauna drawings 1801–1820 of Ferdinand Bauer (with Jo Anne Pomfrett, and Peter Watts); The Flora Graeca story.

Plant Biodiversity Science, Discovery, and Conservation: Case Studies from Australasia and the Pacific
Plant Biodiversity Science, Discovery, and Conservation: Case Studies from Australasia and the Pacific Craig Costion School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Adelaide Adelaide, SA 5005 Thesis by publication submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology July 2011 ABSTRACT This thesis advances plant biodiversity knowledge in three separate bioregions, Micronesia, the Queensland Wet Tropics, and South Australia. A systematic treatment of the endemic flora of Micronesia is presented for the first time thus advancing alpha taxonomy for the Micronesia-Polynesia biodiversity hotspot region. The recognized species boundaries are used in combination with all known botanical collections as a basis for assessing the degree of threat for the endemic plants of the Palau archipelago located at the western most edge of Micronesia’s Caroline Islands. A preliminary assessment is conducted utilizing the IUCN red list Criteria followed by a new proposed alternative methodology that enables a degree of threat to be established utilizing existing data. Historical records and archaeological evidence are reviewed to establish the minimum extent of deforestation on the islands of Palau since the arrival of humans. This enabled a quantification of population declines of the majority of plants endemic to the archipelago. In the state of South Australia, the importance of establishing concepts of endemism is emphasized even further. A thorough scientific assessment is presented on the state’s proposed biological corridor reserve network. The report highlights the exclusion from the reserve system of one of the state’s most important hotspots of plant endemism that is highly threatened from habitat fragmentation and promotes the use of biodiversity indices to guide conservation priorities in setting up reserve networks.

A Molecular Phylogeny for the Mimulus Moschatus Alliance (Scrophulariaceae) and Its Conservation Implications
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Justen Bryant Whittall for the degree of Master of Science in Botany and Plant Pathology presented on June 1, 1999. Title: A Molecular Phvlogeny for the Mimulus moschatus Alliance (Scrophulariaceae) and its Conservation Implications. Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Aaron I. Liston Redacted for Privacy Robert J. Meinke A molecular systematic investigation into the Mimulus moschatus alliance (Scrophulariaceae) was undertaken to determine phylogenetic patterns and test taxonomic hypotheses among a group of rare endemics centered in western North America. Mimulus is a speciose genus of vascular plants composed of many closely allied species complexes divided into ten sections. Section Paradanthus contains many such complexes thought to be derived from within other sections of the genus. Therein lies a rare alliance of species complexes centered around the widespread M moschatus. Although various taxonomic treatments and phylogenetic hypotheses have been proposed, most remain untested. In addition, ten of the twelve species comprising this alliance are of conservation concern. We have examined these taxonomic and phylogenetic hypotheses by comparing DNA sequences from the nuclear ITS region and chloroplast rpl 1 6 intronunder both maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood criteria. Outgroups included accessions from sections Paradanthus, Simiolus and Eunanus. An exceptionally strong stem-loop structure in ITS1 inhibited PCR and direct sequencing in some accessions. Rp116 intron substitution types included small inversions, mononucleotide repeat length variations, and tandem repeat duplications. The ITS region and rp116 intron topologies differ only slightly within the M moschatus alliance. Incongruence between the data sets was isolated to M alsinoides, although a "total evidence" approach provided improved resolution in determining the sister taxon to the M moschatus alliance.

A BOTANICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY of the ISLANDS of the PACIFIC by ELMER D. MERRILL INTRODUCTION by Reason of a War That Took Virtually T
A BOTANICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE ISLANDS OF THE PACIFIC By ELMER D. MERRILL INTRODUCTION By reason of a war that took virtually the whole Pacific world for its battleground, interest in the Pacific Ocean and its countless islands has increased beyond measure. Islands and atolls that perhaps had never before been visited or explored by white men, at least by naturalists, became important military objectives, and information regarding them was at a premium. The war taught us how little we know about many parts of this vast region and served at least one useful purpose in stimulating scientific studies that may fill some of these gaps in our knowledge, particularly in the fields of natural history, anthropology, geography, and oceanography. The present bibliography is therefore a timely stock-taking of what has been published in the field of Pacific botany. Such an inventory should be the beginning of future important botanical investigations and research of the region, and I have therefore endeavored to make it as accurate and as complete as possible within its defined limits. The work is an enlargement of two previous bibliographies, both by the present author. The first of these, "Bibliography of Polynesian Botany" (Bishop Miis. Bull. 13: 1-68), published in 1924, contained about 1,300 author- entries, representing all the most important publications issued up to the end of 1923 which were basic to studies that might be contemplated on the vegetation of the Polynesian islands. The demand for this publica- tion was so great that it soon became out of print. It was therefore replaced, in 1937, by "Polynesian Botanical Bibliography 1773-1935" (Bishop Mus.

Zhao et al. BMC Biology (2021) 19:2 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-020-00931-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access An updated tribal classification of Lamiaceae based on plastome phylogenomics Fei Zhao1†, Ya-Ping Chen1†, Yasaman Salmaki2, Bryan T. Drew3, Trevor C. Wilson4, Anne-Cathrine Scheen5, Ferhat Celep6,7, Christian Bräuchler8, Mika Bendiksby9,10, Qiang Wang11, Dao-Zhang Min12, Hua Peng1, Richard G. Olmstead13,BoLi12* and Chun-Lei Xiang1* Abstract Background: A robust molecular phylogeny is fundamental for developing a stable classification and providing a solid framework to understand patterns of diversification, historical biogeography, and character evolution. As the sixth largest angiosperm family, Lamiaceae, or the mint family, consitutes a major source of aromatic oil, wood, ornamentals, and culinary and medicinal herbs, making it an exceptionally important group ecologically, ethnobotanically, and floristically. The lack of a reliable phylogenetic framework for this family has thus far hindered broad-scale biogeographic studies and our comprehension of diversification. Although significant progress has been made towards clarifying Lamiaceae relationships during the past three decades, the resolution of a phylogenetic backbone at the tribal level has remained one of the greatest challenges due to limited availability of genetic data. Results: We performed phylogenetic analyses of Lamiaceae to infer relationships at the tribal level using 79 protein-coding plastid genes from 175 accessions representing 170 taxa, 79 genera, and all 12 subfamilies. Both maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses yielded a more robust phylogenetic hypothesis relative to previous studies and supported the monophyly of all 12 subfamilies, and a classification for 22 tribes, three of which are newly recognized in this study.
