GIGORD, ANRIF HAMIDOU, LUCILE JOURDAIN-FIEVET, GUILLAUME VISCARD, VINCENT BOULLET View Subscribe Abstract JOURNAL CONTENT Search In this study, we used an integrative approach combining morphological and molecular data with ecology, in order to clarify the identity of a Dombeya newly recorded as occurring in Mayotte. Morphological and molecular evidence are in agreement and Search Scope convincingly show that specimens of this newly recorded species can be confidently assigned to D. rosacea, previously known only All from four herbarium sheets from Madagascar. The new populations of this species in the Comoros significantly expand the extant area of occupancy of D. rosacea. Ecological preferences are also discussed, as populations of D. rosacea were found in greatly contrasting Search sub-humid habitats. This newly reported geographical disjunction between the Comoros and Madagascar strengthens the evidence for a biogeographic connection between the floras of these two regions.

An explanation for greater Neotropical diversity compared to other parts of the tropics is that it was an accident of the Andean orogeny. Using dated phylogenies, of chloroplast ndhF and nuclear DNA WRKY sequence datasets, generated using BEAST we demonstrate that the diversification of the genera Theobroma and Herrania occurred from 12.7 (11.6–14.9 [95% HPD]) million years ago (Ma) and thus coincided with Andean uplift from the mid-Miocene and that this lineage had a faster diversification rate than other major clades in Malvaceae.

  • A New Species and Hybrid in the St Helen a Endemic Genus Trochetiopsis

    A New Species and Hybrid in the St Helen a Endemic Genus Trochetiopsis

    EDINB. 1. BOT. 52 (2): 205-213 (1995) 205 A NEW SPECIES AND HYBRID IN THE ST HELEN A ENDEMIC GENUS TROCHETIOPSIS Q. C. B. CRONK * The discovery in historic herbaria of an overlooked extinct endemic from the island of St Helena is reported. The first descriptions of St Helena Ebony, Trochetiopsis melanoxylon (Sterculiaceae), and the specimens associated with them in the herbaria of Oxford University (OXF) and the Natural History Museum, London (BM), do not match living and later-collected material, and instead represent an extinct plant. A new name is therefore needed for living St Helena Ebony: Trochetiopsis ebenus Cronk sp. nov. The hybrid between this species and the related T erythroxylon is also described here: Trochetiopsis x benjamini Cronk hybr. nov. (Sterculiaceae), and chromosome counts of 2n =40 are reported for the hybrid and both parents for the first time. The re-assessment of the extinct ebony emphasizes the importance of historic herbarium collections for the study of species extinction. INTRODUCTION In 1601 and 1610, at the beginning and end of his voyage to the East Indies, Franvois Pyrard de Laval touched at St Helena, an isolated island in the South Atlantic Ocean. He wrote: 'Sur Ie haut de la montagne il y a force arbre d'Ebene, et de bois de Rose' (Pyrard, 1679; Gray, 1890) - the first mention in print of species of Trochetiopsis (i.e. St Helena Redwood and St Helena Ebony). The island was settled in 1659, and the settlers of the English East India Company immediately put these ecologically important species to use.

It was earlier University of Gottingen, Germany [1]. Byttneria Roxb. placed in Sterculiaceae and then a separate family was first placed in Sterculiaceae, then a separate family Byttneriaceae. As per APG classification, it is now treated Byttneriaceae. As per Angiosperm Phylogeny in family Malvaceae. Endemic taxa are usually more Group-APG-IV [2] classification Byttneria is now vulnerable to anthropogenic threats, natural and climate included in the family Malvaceae of Malvales clade. The changes, and therefore hold a higher extinction risk. Malvales clade also includes Malvaceae, Tiliaceae, Taxonomic study on endemic taxa improves a basic Bombacaceae, Bixaceae, Cistaceae, Cochlospermaceae, understanding for correct identification and description. Diegodendraceae, Dipterocarpaceae, Mutingiaceae, Habitat and distribution study are essential to get specific Neuradaceae, Sarcolaenaceae and Thymelaeaceae [2-4]. information and interpretation on current status and Finding of Judd and Manchester [5], Alverson, et al., [6] population dynamics of the taxon including niche and Bayer, et al., [4] has led to the proposal to combine requirements.

Panicles terminate. Stems, branches, petioles and peduncles armed ; tender shoots villous and hoary. Stem scarce, and what there is grows to be as thick as a man's leg sometimes. Branches numerous, very long and scandent, when their apices rest on the ground they strike root and produce other plants as in the other species of this genus. The young shoots glaucous and downy, the bark of the old dark brown ; all are well armed with numerous recurved prickles. Leaves alternate, pinnate 6-12 inches long, leaflets ovate and ovate-cordate, smooth doubly serrate. Petioles and ribs armed. Stipules petiolary, ensiform. Panicles term- inal, with their peduncles and sub-divisions armed and downy. Brackes like the stipules. Calycine segments lanceloate, nearly twice the length of the ovate, pink petals, and they are rather longer than the stamina and styles.

However, this assessment cannot be done in isolation without an understanding of previously described vegetation structure, past and present. This is needed in order to understand the changes that are taking place (dynamic process of re-vegetation) and have taken place historically (what species are still present and what has been lost) and help to develop mitigation strategies in favour of the indigenous species. The vegetation of St Helena is almost entirely anthropogenic. It bares little correspondence with the past and as such for most people it is easier to accept that the current vegetation is natural (and most appropriate for the landscape) than it is to imagine what the Island once looked like prior to human activity. “The past vegetation has been replaced by browsing, grazing, erosion, cutting for timber and fuel, the introduction of non- native plants and clearance for cultivation, plantation forestry and pasture” (Cronk, 1984). With the result that St Helena has one of the rarest floras in the world (of 59 species), lost 9 out of 10 of its endemic birds and likely many invertebrates.

    Changing to Apg Ii – THEORY PUT Into Practice for Over 100

    SIBBALDIA: 133 The Journal of Botanic Garden Horticulture, No. 6 CHANGING TO APG II – THEORY PUT INTO PRACTICE Janette Latta1 ABstrAct In the summer of 2006, the Science Division at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh made the decision to change the classification system used in their collections of pressed and preserved plants from the modified Bentham and Hooker system to that published by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG). As a result of that decision the Horticulture Division also decided to change its records and plant labels to the APG system. This paper describes the effect this had on the work of staff in both the Science and Horticulture Divisions as their collections had to be reorganized and relabelled to show the new family orders. IntroDuctIon For over 100 years the Herbarium of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) had been organized according to the classification system of George Bentham and Joseph Hooker, with some modifications made over time. In summer 2006, staff in the Science Division held a full day seminar to discuss proposals to reclassify the Herbarium Collections according to the APG II system (wikipedia.org accessed 2 April 2008). It was felt that, as the institution was in the process of having an extension added to the Herbarium to add extra storage space, this was an opportune time, and possibly the only practical time, to effect the change. After the seminar a vote was held and the proposal was adopted. Work began to put this large, time-consuming and historically significant process in place in autumn 2006, with the database work being commenced from January 2007.

This works deals with the recent opinions about the new classification of the core Malvales with special reference to the family Malvaceae s.l. and the morphological description and variations in the species of the genus Abutilon Mill. Taxonomical features of the family as shown in the recent classification systems, with full description of the main divisions of the family. Position of Malvaceae s.l. in the different modern taxonomical systems is clarified. General features of the genus Abutilon stated according to the careful examination of the specimens. Taxonomic position of Abutilon in the Malvaceae is given. Artificial key based on vegetative morphological characters is provided. Keywords: Abutilon, Core Malvales, Eumalvaceae, Morpholog, Systematic Position, Taxonomy. General Features of Family Malvaceae According to Heywood[1] and Watson and Dallwitz[2] the plants of the family Malvaceae s.s. are herbs, shrubs or trees with stipulate, simple, non-sheathing alternate or spiral, petiolate leaves usually with palmate vennation (often three principal veins arising from the base of the leaf blade). Plants are hermaphrodite, rarely dioecious or poly-gamo- monoecious with floral nectarines and entomophilous pollination. Flowers are solitary or aggregating in compound cymes, varying in size from small to large, regular or somewhat irregular, cyclic with distinct calyx and corolla.
