NPT. 1 2 FORMAL TAXONOMIC TREATMENT OF THE CACTACEAE OF EASTERN BRAZIL Introductory notes As its scope this account attempts to include all taxa of Cactaceae that are native, naturalized or commonly cultivated outdoors in North-eastern Brazil, and in South-eastern Brazil north of 22°S and east of 46°W (entries for non-native taxa are indicated by an asterisk [*] below). However, the focus from the start has been on the terrestrial, rather than epiphytic taxa, the former having a centre of high endemism in the dry environments comprising south-eastern Piaui, southernmost Ceara, the southern half of Paraiba, mainland Pernambuco, Bahia, Alagoas, Sergipe, Espirito Santo, most of Minas Gerais and the northern half of Rio de Janeiro (Map 1, Chapter 4). While epiphytic taxa native within this area are fully treated below, their main centre of diversity in SE Brazil, around 22-26°S, has been intentionally excluded, since a preliminary account of the all­ important tribe Rhipsalideae was published quite recently (Barthlott & Taylor 1995). Except where expressly limited, synonymy aims to be comprehensive for names based on Brazilian types (Southern Brazil excepted), but all relevant botanical nomenclature is included in the Index to names and epithets (page 208). Vernacular names are also included from various sources, ego Menezes (1949). The morphological descriptions do not aim in principle to account for all aspects of the plant, but are meant to be primarily diagnostic, supplementing details in the dichotomous keys to facilitate identification. In some cases they are comprehensive where the data have been available or when the differences between taxa are particularly subtle. Details mentioned in descriptions of genera, subgenera or other infrageneric categories, which apply to all subordinate taxa, are not always repeated in those of the included species etc. Unqualified measurements refer to length (or height in the case of erect plants); those connected by a multiplication sign ( x ) refer to length followed by width/diameter and, occasionally, also thickness, in the case of laterally compressed structures. Dimensions of the whole plant or its stem are always given exclusive of the

Rhipsalis cereuscula Haw., Rhipsalis floccosa subsp. hohenauensis (F. Ritter) Barthlott et N. P. Taylor and Lepismium cruciforme (Vellozo) Miquel are obligatory epiphytes that occur frequently on tree trunks of remnant forests in Maringa, Paraná state, Brazil. Morphological and anatomical analyses regarding the seedlings were carried out. The seedlings were prepared according to techniques of resin inclusions and histochemical tests. Seedlings were phanerocotyledonar and originated from seeds with operculum. The root was diarch and the hypocotyl presented transition root-stem structure. The cotyledons were sessile, reduced, with homogeneous mesophyll. The epicotyl (phylloclade) presented a lot of parenchyma and reduced vascular cylinder. The 3 studied species showed anatomical characteristics similar to those described for species of Lepismium and Rhipsalis as well as other cacti. Key words: epiphyte, root, hypocotyl, cotyledons, epicotyl, areola. Resumen. Rhipsalis cereuscula Haw., Rhipsalis floccosa subsp. hohenauensis (F. Ritter) Barthlott et N. P. Taylor y Lepismium cruciforme (Vellozo) Miquel son epífitos obligatorios que frecuentemente habitan en los troncos del árbol de matorrales secundarios de Maringá, Paraná, Brasil. Se analizaron la morfología y anatomía de las plántulas de estas especies. Las plántulas fueron procesadas según las técnicas de inclusión en resina y pruebas histoquímicas.

    2021/09/24 13:59 1/18 BACKEBERGIA MILITARIS (AUDOT) H. BRAVO HOLLIS BACKEBERGIA MILITARIS (AUDOT) H. BRAVO HOLLIS CACTUS & Co. 2 (8) 2004 Version pdf INTRODUCTION Backebergia militaris (H. Bravo ex Sánchez- Mejorada, 1973) has always been a difficult plant for which to find a taxonomical position. It is included in the tribe Pachycereeae Buxbaum, sub-tribe Pachycere- inae Buxbaum. However, its morphology and life cycle are distinct from those of all the other taxa included. Furthermore, it has a character which is unique in the whole Cactaceae family, that is, it bears an inflores- cence with genetically determinate growth, a decidu- ous one, which for this exclusive character deserves a specific term, that I define as “Tiponche” (pron. teep- ònche), from the vernacular name by which the species is known in its distribution area. The present paper describes for the first time the deciduous character of the inflorescence, and how this adaptation influences the dynamics of the life cycle of B. militaris. Furthermore, its functional significance is investigated, and related to a probable, sophisticated mutual symbiosis between the plant and a lepidopter- an of the Pyraloidea, of a yet undetermined species. This study is the result of bibliographic research and of observations carried out both in the wild, dur- ing a survey in March 1994 in a locality within the dis- tribution area of B. militaris, and with the dissection of authorized 1) samples collected on the same occasion. NOTES ON THE STUDIES CARRIED OUT ON BACKEBERGIA MILITARIS The species was discovered some 150 years ago, but the encounters between B.

  • Catalogue of the Vascular Epiphytic Flora of Uruguay
    Acta Botanica Brasilica doi: 10.1590/0102-33062019abb0059 Catalogue of the vascular epiphytic flora of Uruguay Patricia Mai1* , Andrés Rossado2 , José Mauricio Bonifacino2,3 and Jorge Luiz Waechter4 Received: February 21, 2019 Accepted: June 17, 2019 . ABSTRACT We provide an updated list of the vascular epiphytic flora occurring in native environments of Uruguay based on literature review, herbarium specimens, and fieldwork throughout the country. The catalogue provides standardized information for each species, including accepted name, synonyms used within Uruguay, epiphytic category, distribution within the country, habitat, conservation status, observations, and a voucher citation. The effort documented 73 species for the epiphytic flora of Uruguay (3 % of the flora), distributed among 29 genera and 12 families. Bromeliaceae was the richest family (17), followed by Polypodiaceae (16) and Orchidaceae (12). Tillandsia stood out as the most speciose genus with 15 species. Characteristic holoepiphytes was the most diverse ecological category. More than half of the epiphytic species documented for Uruguay (53 %) reach their southernmost geographic distribution in the country, whereas only two mostly epipetric species of Tillandsia — T. arequitae and T. uruguayensis — are endemic to the country. Almost half of the epiphytic species found are presently under categories of threat of extinction, with 60 % of them occurring in national protected areas. Both the richest epiphytic families and the predominance of characteristic holoepiphytes coincide with findings from floristic and ecological studies previously carried out in humid subtropical regions. Keywords: conservation status, epiphytic category, geographic distribution, hemiepiphytes, holoepiphytes, subtropical forests, Uruguay, vascular epiphytes The most recent estimation of vascular epiphytes in the Introduction world reports 27,614 species, distributed in 73 families and 913 genera.
