  • Phylogeny and Phylogenetic Taxonomy of Dipsacales, with Special Reference to Sinadoxa and Tetradoxa (Adoxaceae)
    PHYLOGENY AND PHYLOGENETIC TAXONOMY OF DIPSACALES, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO SINADOXA AND TETRADOXA (ADOXACEAE) MICHAEL J. DONOGHUE,1 TORSTEN ERIKSSON,2 PATRICK A. REEVES,3 AND RICHARD G. OLMSTEAD 3 Abstract. To further clarify phylogenetic relationships within Dipsacales,we analyzed new and previously pub- lished rbcL sequences, alone and in combination with morphological data. We also examined relationships within Adoxaceae using rbcL and nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. We conclude from these analyses that Dipsacales comprise two major lineages:Adoxaceae and Caprifoliaceae (sensu Judd et al.,1994), which both contain elements of traditional Caprifoliaceae.Within Adoxaceae, the following relation- ships are strongly supported: (Viburnum (Sambucus (Sinadoxa (Tetradoxa, Adoxa)))). Combined analyses of C ap ri foliaceae yield the fo l l ow i n g : ( C ap ri folieae (Diervilleae (Linnaeeae (Morinaceae (Dipsacaceae (Triplostegia,Valerianaceae)))))). On the basis of these results we provide phylogenetic definitions for the names of several major clades. Within Adoxaceae, Adoxina refers to the clade including Sinadoxa, Tetradoxa, and Adoxa.This lineage is marked by herbaceous habit, reduction in the number of perianth parts,nectaries of mul- ticellular hairs on the perianth,and bifid stamens. The clade including Morinaceae,Valerianaceae, Triplostegia, and Dipsacaceae is here named Valerina. Probable synapomorphies include herbaceousness,presence of an epi- calyx (lost or modified in Valerianaceae), reduced endosperm,and distinctive chemistry, including production of monoterpenoids. The clade containing Valerina plus Linnaeeae we name Linnina. This lineage is distinguished by reduction to four (or fewer) stamens, by abortion of two of the three carpels,and possibly by supernumerary inflorescences bracts. Keywords: Adoxaceae, Caprifoliaceae, Dipsacales, ITS, morphological characters, phylogeny, phylogenetic taxonomy, phylogenetic nomenclature, rbcL, Sinadoxa, Tetradoxa.

Dit wordt ondersteund door moleculaire kenmerken, namelijk overeenkomsten in de basenvolgorde van de ndhF-, rbcL-, atpB- en 18S-genen. Probleem is nog steeds de indeling in families. Hier is ervoor gekozen om slechts 2 families te onderscheiden: de Muskuskruidfamilie (Adoxaceae) en de Kamperfoeliefamilie (Caprifoliaceae). Alles bij elkaar telt deze orde ongeveer 1000 soorten. Ze komen voornamelijk op het Noordelijk Halfrond voor. Gewone vlier De tegenoverstaande bladeren, die vaak met elkaar verbonden zijn, vormen het meest opvallende kenmerk. De bloemen variëren van regelmatig en 5-tallig tot sterk 2-zijdig symmetrisch, met een kleiner aantal meeldraden en slechts 1 zaad per vrucht. Dipsacales I Mus The order Dipsacales has been a well-defined group for a long time, of De Mus which the composition is clear.

Environmental and ecosystem services offered by the tree flora of semi-deciduous submontane forest are presented according to the perception of farmers who use accumulated knowledge for social, cultural and economic reproduction in family farming. Four farmers were selected for their remarkable knowledge related to the agro-ecosystem and the local floristic composition, and they answered semi-structured interviews about 115 native tree species relating them to environmental and ecosystem services. The knowledge of farmers regarding the importance of forest cover for beekeeping, agroforestry system installation, source of biological materials for environmental recovery, conservation of hydric resources and for feeding mammals and birds was evidenced.

Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas y Costeras, CONICET. Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Paititi Natural Reserve is located in the southeastern part of the Tandilia mountain range (Buenos Aires province, Argentina). With the aim of recording the floristic richness of Sierra Chica, an untouched area of the reserve, all vas- cular plants were inventoried and categorized by family, status, and life form. Altogether, 364 taxa from 72 families were found, with the most predominant families being Poaceae (20.7%), Asteraceae (20.1%), and Fabaceae (5.8%). We found 95 adventive species, 4 cosmopolitan, and 265 native. The most abundant life forms were hemicryptophytes (33.1%), therophytes (30.6%), and criptophytes (22.6%); the therophytes were mostly represented by adventive spe- cies. We also found species that were known from Buenos Aires province but not from mountainous areas. Despite being a small area within Argentina, Sierra Chica constitutes a valuable refuge for native flora of the Tandilia mountain range system, which is in danger of being affected by exotic plants.

L. von Schlechtendal and type material of his new taxa preserved in the herbarium of Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (HAL) and other botanical collections Bettina HEUCHERT, Uwe BRAUN, Natalia TKACH, Denise MARX & Martin RÖSER Abstract: Heuchert, B., Braun, U., Tkach, N., Marx, D. & Röser, M. 2017: Biography of D. F. L. von Schlechtendal and type material of his new taxa preserved in the herbarium of Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (HAL) and other botanical collections. Schlechtendalia 31: 1–143. D. F. L. von Schlechtendal (1794–1866) was professor of botany and director of the botanical garden in Halle (Saale) from 1833 to 1866. He was one of the leading and most productive German botanists of the 19th century, who, inter alia, introduced about 1,600 new taxa, most of them new species, including 78 new genera. Schlechtendal‟s private herbarium was purchased by the university after his death from his widow and represents the historical nucleus of the present-day herbarium of the Martin Luther University (HAL). Based on Schubert‟s (1964) unpublished dissertation and other sources, Schlechtendal‟s life and work is outlined. All taxa described by Schlechtendal are summarized in an annotated list, including details of type collections preserved in the herbarium of Martin Luther University Halle- Wittenberg and in other botanical collections. Previous typifications of the taxa concerned were scrutinized in the light of the rules of the Internal Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants.
