  • Morphological Evolution and Systematics of Synthyris and Besseya (Veronicaceae): a Phylogenetic Analysis
    Systematic Botany (2004), 29(3): pp. 716±736 q Copyright 2004 by the American Society of Plant Taxonomists Morphological Evolution and Systematics of Synthyris and Besseya (Veronicaceae): A Phylogenetic Analysis LARRY HUFFORD2 and MICHELLE MCMAHON1 School of Biological Sciences, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington 99164-4236 1Present address: Section of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Division of Biological Sciences, University of California, Davis, California 95616 2Author for correspondence ([email protected]) Communicating Editor: Wendy B. Zomlefer ABSTRACT. Phylogenetic analyses are used to examine the morphological diversity and systematics of Synthyris and Besseya. The placement of Synthyris and Besseya in Veronicaceae is strongly supported in parsimony analyses of nuclear ribosomal ITS DNA sequences. Parsimony and maximum likelihood (ML) criteria provide consistent hypotheses of clades of Synthyris and Besseya based on the ITS data. The combination of morphological characters and ITS data resolve additional clades of Synthyris and Besseya. The results show that Synthyris is paraphyletic to Besseya. In the monophyletic Synthyris clade, Besseya forms part of a Northwest clade that also includes the alpine S. canbyi, S. dissecta,andS. lanuginosa and mesic forest S. cordata, S. reniformis, S. platycarpa,andS. schizantha. The Northwest clade is the sister of S. borealis. An Intermountain clade, comprising S. ranunculina, S. laciniata, S. pinnati®da,andS. missurica, is the sister to the rest of the Synthyris clade. Constraint topologies are used to test prior hypotheses of relationships and morphological similarities. Parametric bootstrapping is used to compare the likelihood values of the best trees obtained in searches under constraints to that of the best tree found without constraints.

    Telopea 11(3) 276–292 New Australian species and typifications in Veronica sens. lat. (Plantaginaceae) Barbara G. Briggs1 and Friedrich Ehrendorfer2 1Botanic Gardens Trust Sydney, Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia. Email: [email protected] 2Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, Rennweg 14, A–1030, Vienna, Austria. Email: [email protected] Abstract Four Australian species of Veronica sens. lat. are newly described and illustrated; lectotypes are selected for other species and synonyms. In V. ‘sect. Derwentia’ (Raf.) B.G.Briggs (in Garnock-Jones et al. submitted) we informally recognise three clades: the Derwentia clade, the V. formosa clade and the V. calycina clade. A second species of the V. formosa clade, V. continua, is newly described; both V. continua and V. formosa being Tasmanian endemics. New Australian mainland taxa of the V. calycina clade are V. grosseserrata, V. sobolifera and V. subtilis; types and synonyms are listed for V. brownii, V. calycina, V. distans, V. gracilis, V. hillebrandii, V. notabilis, V. novae-hollandiae, V. parnkalliana and V. plebeia. From V. sect. Hebe, typification and synonyms are provided for V. densifolia. Introduction Veronica and related genera of the Veroniceae were, until recently, regarded as members of the Scrophulariaceae. The results of DNA analyses have, however, led to drastic changes in the circumscription of the family and the reclassification of Veronica as a member of the Plantaginaceae (Olmstead & Reeves 1995, Olmstead et al. 2001, Albach et al. 2005). Such analyses have also made clear that Veronica is paraphyletic if Southern Hemisphere genera such as Derwentia, Parahebe, Hebe and Chionohebe are recognised (Albach & Chase 2001, Wagstaff et al.

  • A New Classification of the Tribe Veroniceae—Problems and a Possible Solution Dirk C
    A new classification of the tribe Veroniceae—problems and a possible solution Dirk C. Albach, M. Montserrat Martínez-Ortega, Manfred A. Fischer & Mark W. Chase Based on the most recent evidence from phylogenetic analyses of Veronica and its related genera, we propose a new infratribal and infrageneric rearrangement for Veroniceae and Veronica. These recent analyses have settled the long dispute about the relationship of the Northern Hemisphere Veronica and the Southern Hemisphere Hebe complex and have shown the derivation of the latter from within the former. Other currently recognized genera such as Synthyris and Pseudolysimachion are also derived from within Veronica. A classification based on monophyletic genera therefore needs to either lump some well recognized genera into a large genus Veronica or split Veronica into several genera that seem impossible to separate using morphological or structural characters. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages and conclude that it is best to recognize a large genus Veronica (including Hebe, Parahebe, Chionohebe, Heliohebe, Detzneria, Derwentia, Pseudolysimachion, Synthyris and Besseya) with 13 subgenera, along with 8 other genera, Scrofella, Veronicastrum (inclusive of Calorhabdos and Botryopleuron), Lagotis, Wulfenia, Kashmiria, Picrorhiza, Wulfeniopsis and Paederota, in Veroniceae. KEYWORDS: classification, Plantaginaceae, Scrophulariaceae, taxonomy, Veronica s.l., Veroniceae. Last glacial vegetation of northern Eurasia Judy R.M. Allen, Thomas Hickler, Joy S. Singarayer, Martin T. Sykes, Paul J. Valdes, Brian Huntley Abstract In order to investigate the potential role of vegetation changes in megafaunal extinctions during the later part of the last glacial stage and early Holocene (42e10 ka BP), the palaeovegetation of northern Eurasia and Alaska was simulated using the LPJ-GUESS dynamic vegetation model.

  • Veronica Perfoliata
    Veronica perfoliata The dried burnt-looking specimen is special. It was collected by gubernator Latrobe as noted in Ferdinand Mueller’s, Victoria’s first botanist’s, own handwriting (‘gubernator’ being Latin for governor). Its botanical name is Veronica perfoliata (Diggers Speedwell) and it is in the Plantaginaceae family. This specimen is 170 years old and was collected by the illustrious Governor La Trobe on his exploration of the Great Dividing Range in the upper reaches of the Loddon River in 1850. The Loddon River rises near Trentham and flows north and to meet the Murray near Swan Hill. The labels give an interesting insight into the history of this specimen. It was first classified by the English botanist Robert Brown (1773-1858) and he named it Veronica perfoliata. There is a ‘B’ in the top left hand corner and that is a reference to the English botanist George Bentham (1800-1884), so we know it was sent to England at one stage. In Ferdinand Mueller’s handwriting (bottom right hand corner) is the other name it was known by, Veronica acutiflora Ferd. Mueller, but Bentham renamed it V. imperfoliata. The specimen returned to Australia and in 1968 it was classified for the National Herbarium in New South Wales as Parahebe perfoliata by B. G. Briggs and Ehrend. Then in 2004 the National Herbarium of Victoria (as part of the Australian Virtual Herbarium project) had another look at the plant and described it as Derwentia perfoliata. Finally, in 2014, there was another name change back to its original Veronica perfoliata, the name Mueller listed on the labels originally.
