  • Species Accounts
    Species accounts The list of species that follows is a synthesis of all the botanical knowledge currently available on the Nyika Plateau flora. It does not claim to be the final word in taxonomic opinion for every plant group, but will provide a sound basis for future work by botanists, phytogeographers, and reserve managers. It should also serve as a comprehensive plant guide for interested visitors to the two Nyika National Parks. By far the largest body of information was obtained from the following nine publications: • Flora zambesiaca (current ed. G. Pope, 1960 to present) • Flora of Tropical East Africa (current ed. H. Beentje, 1952 to present) • Plants collected by the Vernay Nyasaland Expedition of 1946 (Brenan & collaborators 1953, 1954) • Wye College 1972 Malawi Project Final Report (Brummitt 1973) • Resource inventory and management plan for the Nyika National Park (Mill 1979) • The forest vegetation of the Nyika Plateau: ecological and phenological studies (Dowsett-Lemaire 1985) • Biosearch Nyika Expedition 1997 report (Patel 1999) • Biosearch Nyika Expedition 2001 report (Patel & Overton 2002) • Evergreen forest flora of Malawi (White, Dowsett-Lemaire & Chapman 2001) We also consulted numerous papers dealing with specific families or genera and, finally, included the collections made during the SABONET Nyika Expedition. In addition, botanists from K and PRE provided valuable input in particular plant groups. Much of the descriptive material is taken directly from one or more of the works listed above, including information regarding habitat and distribution. A single illustration accompanies each genus; two illustrations are sometimes included in large genera with a wide morphological variance (for example, Lobelia).

  • Fern Classification
    16 Fern classification ALAN R. SMITH, KATHLEEN M. PRYER, ERIC SCHUETTPELZ, PETRA KORALL, HARALD SCHNEIDER, AND PAUL G. WOLF 16.1 Introduction and historical summary / Over the past 70 years, many fern classifications, nearly all based on morphology, most explicitly or implicitly phylogenetic, have been proposed. The most complete and commonly used classifications, some intended primar• ily as herbarium (filing) schemes, are summarized in Table 16.1, and include: Christensen (1938), Copeland (1947), Holttum (1947, 1949), Nayar (1970), Bierhorst (1971), Crabbe et al. (1975), Pichi Sermolli (1977), Ching (1978), Tryon and Tryon (1982), Kramer (in Kubitzki, 1990), Hennipman (1996), and Stevenson and Loconte (1996). Other classifications or trees implying relationships, some with a regional focus, include Bower (1926), Ching (1940), Dickason (1946), Wagner (1969), Tagawa and Iwatsuki (1972), Holttum (1973), and Mickel (1974). Tryon (1952) and Pichi Sermolli (1973) reviewed and reproduced many of these and still earlier classifica• tions, and Pichi Sermolli (1970, 1981, 1982, 1986) also summarized information on family names of ferns. Smith (1996) provided a summary and discussion of recent classifications. With the advent of cladistic methods and molecular sequencing techniques, there has been an increased interest in classifications reflecting evolutionary relationships. Phylogenetic studies robustly support a basal dichotomy within vascular plants, separating the lycophytes (less than 1 % of extant vascular plants) from the euphyllophytes (Figure 16.l; Raubeson and Jansen, 1992, Kenrick and Crane, 1997; Pryer et al., 2001a, 2004a, 2004b; Qiu et al., 2006). Living euphyl• lophytes, in turn, comprise two major clades: spermatophytes (seed plants), which are in excess of 260 000 species (Thorne, 2002; Scotland and Wortley, Biology and Evolution of Ferns and Lycopliytes, ed.

Alansmia, a new genus of grammitid ferns is described and combinations are made for the 26 species known to belong to it. Alansmia is supported by five morphological synapomorphies: setae present on the rhizomes, cells of the rhizome scales turgid, both surfaces of the rhizome scales ciliate, laminae membranaceous, and sporangial capsules setose. Other diagnostic characters include pendent fronds with indeterminate growth, concolorous, orange to castaneous rhizome scales with ciliate or sometimes glandular margins, hydathodes often cretaceous, and setae simple, paired or stellate. The group also exhibits the uncommon characteristic of producing both trilete and apparently monolete spores, sometimes on the same plant. New combinations are made for Alansmia alfaroi, A. bradeana, A. canescens, A. concinna, A.

  • Three New Species of Eriophyid Mites from Wanglang Nature Reserve, Sichuan, China (Acari: Eriophyidae)
    Zoological Systematics, 43(4): 429–436 (October 2018), DOI: 10.11865/zs.201837 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Three new species of eriophyid mites from Wanglang Nature Reserve, Sichuan, China (Acari: Eriophyidae) Manchao Xie School of Modern Agriculture and Biotechnology, Ankang University, Ankang, Shaanxi 725000, China, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Three new species of eriophyoid mites from Wanglang Nature Reserve, Sichuan Province, China are described and illustrated, namely Aculops loniceris sp. nov. infesting Lonicera sp. (Caprifoliaceae), Aculus hypoleus sp. nov. infesting Maddenia hypoleuca Koehne (Rosaceae), and Anthocoptes lindleyanius sp. nov. infesting Buddleja lindleyana Fortune and Buddleja davidii Franch. (Scrophulariaceae). All new species described here are vagrants on the undersurfaces of leaves of their host plants. Key words Eriophyoidea, Phyllocoptine, taxonomy, new species, Sichuan Province. 1 Introduction Sichuan Province lies in southwestern China, where the landform is varied, including the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Hengduan Mountains, Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, Qinba Mountains and Sichuan Basin. Following with the elevation from 400 m to 5000 m, the climate and the plants are changed with different terrain. About ten thousand species plants are distributed in Sichuan (Li & Zhang, 2002). Until 2017, only five species of eriophyoid mites have been reported in Sichuan Province, namely, Aceria granti (Canestrini & Massalongo, 1894), Aceria sheldoni chinensis Kuang & Hong, 1991, Shevtchenkella humulus Wei & Qin, 2002, Phyllocoptruta oleivora (Ashmead, 1879) and Aculus ligustri (Keifer, 1938). Wanglang Nature Reserve lies in Pingwu County, Sichuang, China, where the giant panda and other rare animals and the forest ecosystem are protected. In 2016, a field survey for insects is conducted in Wanglang Nature Reserve. A few eriophyid mites specimens are collected by the author from leaves of wild plants in the survey.

Schwartsburd1,2 Received: 10.11.2016; accepted: 11.04.2017 ABSTRACT - (Ferns of Viçosa, Minas Gerais State, Brazil: Polypodiaceae (Polypodiales, Filicopsida, Tracheophyta). As part of an ongoing project treating the ferns and lycophytes from the region of Viçosa, MG, Brazil, we here present the taxonomic treatment of Polypodiaceae. We performed field expeditions in remaining forest patches and disturbed sites from 2012 to 2016. We also revised the Polypodiaceae collection of VIC herbarium. In the region of Viçosa, 19 species of Polypodiaceae occur: Campyloneurum centrobrasilianum, C. decurrens, C. lapathifolium, C. phyllitidis, Cochlidium punctatum, Microgramma crispata, M. percussa, M. squamulosa, M. vacciniifolia, Niphidium crassifolium, Pecluma filicula, P. plumula, P. truncorum, Phlebodium areolatum, P. decumanum, Pleopeltis astrolepis, P. minima, Serpocaulon fraxinifolium, and S. menisciifolium. Among them, six are endemic to the Atlantic Forest. During our search in VIC, we found an isotype of Campyloneurum centrobrasilianum. We present keys, descriptions, illustrations, examined materials, and comments of all taxa. Keywords: epiphytic ferns, Flora, Pteridophyta, southeastern Brazil RESUMO - (Samambaias de Viçosa, MG, Brasil: Polypodiaceae (Polypodiales, Filicopsida, Tracheophyta)).
