The family is monophyletic (Feng 2005, Tukuoka 2008, Wahlert & Ballard 2010 in press), even though phylogenetic relationships within Violaceae are still unclear (Feng 2005, Tukuoka 2008). The family embrace a great diversity of vegetative and floral morphologies. Members are herbs, lianas or trees, with flowers ranging from strongly spurred to unspurred.

The New Caledonian biodiversity hotspot contains many micro-hotspots that exhibit high plant micro- endemism, and that are facing different types and intensities of threats. The Belep archipelago, and especially Île Art, with 24 and 21 respective narrowly endemic species (1 Extinct,21Critically Endangered and 2 Endangered), should be considered as the most sensitive micro-hotspot of plant diversity in New Caledonia because of the high anthropogenic threat of fire. Nano-hotspots could also be defined for the low forest remnants of the southern and northern plateaus of Île Art. With an average rate of more than one new species described for New Caledonia each month since January 2000 and five new endemics for the Belep archipelago since 2009, the state of knowledge of the flora is steadily improving.

    Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny

    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page.

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT New Caledonia is a global biodiversity hotspot known for its metal hyperaccumulator plants. X-ray fluorescence technology (XRF) has enabled non-destructive and quantitative determination of elemental concentrations in herbarium specimens from the ultramafic flora of the island. Specimens belonging to six major hyperaccumulator families (Cunoniaceae, Phyllanthaceae, Salicaceae, Sapotaceae, Oncothecaceae and Violaceae) and one to four specimens per species of the remaining ultramafic taxa in the herbarium were measured. XRF scanning included a total of c. 11 200 specimens from 35 orders, 96 families, 281 genera and 1484 species (1620 taxa) and covered 88.5% of the ultramafic flora. The study revealed the existence of 99 nickel hyperaccumulator taxa (65 known previously), 74 manganese hyperaccumulator taxa (11 known previously), eight cobalt hyperaccumulator taxa (two known previously) and four zinc hyperaccumulator taxa (none known previously).

PhytoKeys 37: 1–13. doi: 10.3897/phytokeys.37.7136 Abstract A new, nickel-hyperaccumulating species of Rinorea (Violaceae), Rinorea niccolifera Fernando, from Luzon Island, Philippines, is described and illustrated. This species is most similar to the widespreadRinorea bengalensis by its fasciculate inflorescences and smooth subglobose fruits with 3 seeds, but it differs by its glabrous ovary with shorter style (5 mm long), the summit of the staminal tube sinuate to entire and the outer surface smooth, generally smaller leaves (3–8 cm long × 2–3 cm wide), and smaller fruits (0.6–0.8 cm diameter). Rinorea niccolifera accumulates to >18,000 µg g-1 of nickel in its leaf tissues and is thus regarded as a Ni hyperaccumulator.

This information represents what was known at the end of the 1994 field season. These maps may not represent the most recent information on distribution and range for these taxa but it does illustrate geographic distribution across the assessment area. For many of these species, this is the first time information has been compiled on this scale. For the continued viability of many of these taxa, it is imperative that we begin to manage for them across their range and across administrative boundaries. Of the 173 taxa analyzed, there are maps for 153 taxa. For those taxa that were not tracked by heritage programs, we were not able to generate range maps.

    DISSERTATION THE EVOLUTION OF SELENIUM HYPERACCUMULATION IN STANLEYA (BRASSICACEAE) Submitted by Jennifer JoCarole Cappa Department of Biology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2014 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Mark P. Simmons Co-Advisor: Elizabeth A.H. Pilon-Smits Amy L. Angert John McKay Copyright by Jennifer JoCarole Cappa 2014 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT THE EVOLUTION OF SELENIUM HYPERACCUMULATION IN STANLEYA (BRASSICACEAE) Elemental hyperaccumulation is a fascinating trait found in at least 515 angiosperm species. Hyperaccumulation is the uptake of a metal/metalloid to concentrations 50-100x greater than surrounding vegetation. This equates to 0.01-1% dry weight (DW) depending on the element. Studies to date have identified 11 elements that are hyperaccumulated including arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, lead, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, selenium (Se) and zinc. My research focuses on Se hyperaccumulation in the genus Stanleya (Brassicaceae). The threshold for Se hyperaccumulation is 1,000 mg Se kg-1 DW or 0.1% DW. Stanleya is a small genus comprised of seven species all endemic to the western United States. Stanleya pinnata is a Se hyperaccumulator and includes four varieties. I tested to what extent the species in Stanleya accumulate and tolerate Se both in the field and in a common-garden study. In the field collected samples only S. pinnata var. pinnata had Se levels >0.1% DW. Within S. pinnata var. pinnata, I found a geographic pattern related to Se hyperaccumulation where the highest accumulating populations are found on the eastern side of the Continental Divide.
