Igualmente representa a contribuição de vários especialistas, do país e do exterior, na busca de novos conhecimentos sobre a diversidade de organismos da flora brasileira. O estudo da diversidade biológica do país tem possibilitado a descoberta de várias novidades científicas acerca da riqueza de organismos encontrados em diferentes ecossistemas, bem como armazenados em coleções de herbários nacionais e do exterior. Nesse número suplementar são publicados 17 artigos referentes a 13 famílias de angiospermas e uma de algas. Os temas tratados abrangem a descrição de oito espécies novas, a proposição de 46 novas combinações, 38 novos sinônimos e status, nove lectótipos e 11 novos nomes específicos e o restabelecimento de dois nomes específicos, além de registrar pela primeira vez a ocorrência de Symplocos neblinae Maguire & Steyerm. no Brasil. Esses resultados mostram, mais uma vez, a importância dos trabalhos dos especialistas sobre a diversidade de organismos, pois as atividades de pesquisas, contínuas e diárias, geram constantemente numerosas informações inéditas. Porém, ainda há muito por fazer, considerando a vasta extensão territorial do Brasil e os diferentes domínios fitogeográficos, com inúmeras áreas ainda inexploradas, principalmente àquelas afastadas de centros urbanos ou de pequenos povoados e, geralmente, de difícil acesso. Desse modo, inventários florísticos e estudos taxonômicos ainda são necessários, a fim de tentar cobrir várias lacunas de conhecimento sobre a biodiversidade do país. A perda de hábitats tem sido considerada uma das principais ameaças para a extinção de espécies da flora brasileira. Fazer prevalecer ações que promovam o conhecimento de diferentes remanescentes florestais é uma meta prioritária, frente ao avanço de atividades antrópicas irregulares e do crescimento desordenado de centros urbanos e áreas rurais. O descompasso entre a aquisição de conhecimento e a perda de biodiversidade é muito evidente e desigual e, lamentavelmente, desfavorável à conservação da natureza e aos trabalhos dos especialistas. Desse modo, valorizar e incrementar cada vez mais a realização de inventários florísticos e estudos taxonômicos dos mais diferentes grupos de organismos, associados à formação de novos especialistas, constitui uma meta a ser alcançada. Nesse contexto, norteia os tomadores de decisão com uma importante política científica para mitigar ou deter processos de desmatamento e fortalecer o cumprimento dos compromissos assumidos pelo Brasil na Convenção sobre a Diversidade Biológica (CDB) e na implementação da Estratégia Global para a Conservação de Plantas.

  • Well-Known Plants in Each Angiosperm Order
    Well-known plants in each angiosperm order This list is generally from least evolved (most ancient) to most evolved (most modern). (I’m not sure if this applies for Eudicots; I’m listing them in the same order as APG II.) The first few plants are mostly primitive pond and aquarium plants. Next is Illicium (anise tree) from Austrobaileyales, then the magnoliids (Canellales thru Piperales), then monocots (Acorales through Zingiberales), and finally eudicots (Buxales through Dipsacales). The plants before the eudicots in this list are considered basal angiosperms. This list focuses only on angiosperms and does not look at earlier plants such as mosses, ferns, and conifers. Basal angiosperms – mostly aquatic plants Unplaced in order, placed in Amborellaceae family • Amborella trichopoda – one of the most ancient flowering plants Unplaced in order, placed in Nymphaeaceae family • Water lily • Cabomba (fanwort) • Brasenia (watershield) Ceratophyllales • Hornwort Austrobaileyales • Illicium (anise tree, star anise) Basal angiosperms - magnoliids Canellales • Drimys (winter's bark) • Tasmanian pepper Laurales • Bay laurel • Cinnamon • Avocado • Sassafras • Camphor tree • Calycanthus (sweetshrub, spicebush) • Lindera (spicebush, Benjamin bush) Magnoliales • Custard-apple • Pawpaw • guanábana (soursop) • Sugar-apple or sweetsop • Cherimoya • Magnolia • Tuliptree • Michelia • Nutmeg • Clove Piperales • Black pepper • Kava • Lizard’s tail • Aristolochia (birthwort, pipevine, Dutchman's pipe) • Asarum (wild ginger) Basal angiosperms - monocots Acorales

    A Reassessment of Monopyle (Gloxinieae:Gesneriaceae) A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Jeremy L. Keene December 2013 © 2013 Jeremy L. Keene. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled A Reassessment of Monopyle (Gloxinieae: Gesneriaceae) by JEREMY L. KEENE has been approved for the Department of Environmental and Plant Biology and the College of Arts and Sciences by Harvey E. Ballard, Jr. Associate Professor of Environmental and Plant Biology Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT KEENE, JEREMY L., Ph.D., December 2013, Environmental and Plant Biology A Reassessment of Monopyle (Gloxinieae: Gesneriaceae) Director of Dissertation: Harvey E. Ballard, Jr. Monopyle Moritz ex Benth. is a genus of herbs or suffrutescent herbs distributed from Guatemala southward into northern South America. This assemblage of plants is characterized by the presence of anisophyllous leaves, uncinate trichomes, and campanulate flowers. The genus was last revised in 1945 by Conrad Morton. Since that time, few additional taxa have been recognized. It was comprised of 22 described species in 2011, with two infraspecific taxa. Also, there has been limited sampling of this genus for phylogenetic studies to assess the evolution of the genus. There were two primary foci of this research, a morphological characterization of the species within Monopyle and molecular analyses of the species within Monopyle and other closely related genera. A detailed morphological analysis was performed to determine the morphological differentiation between taxa. This analysis also confirmed which diagnostic characters identified in previous studies were valid and useful.

He loved it so much that he started a group, complete with a small journal, that he called the American Gloxinia Society. The Society lived on, thrived, acquired more members, studied the Gloxinia and its relatives, gesneriads. After a while, the name of the society changed to the American Gloxinia and Gesneriad Society. The journal, THE GLOXINIAN, grew thicker and glossier. More study and research were conducted on the family, more members and chapters came in, and the name was changed again – this time to The Gesneriad Society. Nowadays, a boy who falls in love with the same plant would have to call it Sinningia speciosa. To be honest, the American Sinningia Speciosa Society does not have the same ring. So in order to talk "Gloxinia," the boy would have to talk about Gloxinia perennis, still a gesneriad, but a totally different plant. Unless, of course, he went for the common name of the spec- tacular Sinningia and decided to found The American Florist Gloxinia Society.

  • Temporal and Spatial Origin of Gesneriaceae in the New World Inferred from Plastid DNA Sequences

Radiation of this group occurred in all biomes of tropical America and was accompanied by extensive phenotypic and ecological diversification. Here we performed phylogenetic analyses using DNA sequences from three plastid loci to reconstruct the evolutionary history of Gesnerioideae and to investigate its relationship with other lineages of Gesneriaceae and Lamiales. Our molecular data confirm the inclusion of the South Pacific Coronanthereae and the Old World (OW) monotypic genus Titanotrichum in Gesnerioideae and the sister-group relationship of this subfamily to the rest of the OW Gesneriaceae. Calceolariaceae and the NW genera Peltanthera and Sanango appeared successively sister to Gesneriaceae, whereas Cubitanthus, which has been previously assigned to Gesneriaceae, is shown to be related to Linderniaceae. Based on molecular dating and biogeographical reconstruction analyses, we suggest that ancestors of Gesneriaceae originated in South America during the Late Cretaceous.

BOGGAN* National Museum of Natural History, Dept. of Botany, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20013-7012, USA. Email: [email protected] LAURENCE E. SKOG National Museum of Natural History, Dept. of Botany, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20013-7012, USA; Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Sarasota, FL 34236-7726, USA. ERIC H. ROALSON School of Biological Sciences and Center for Integrated Biotechnology, Washington State University, Pullman, WA 99164-4236, USA. ABSTRACT. Previous molecular and morphological studies have revealed that the genus Phinaea (Gesne- riaceae-Gloxinieae) as circumscribed until now is polyphyletic. On the basis of these studies Phinaea s.s. is restricted to three species. Amalophyllon, originally described in Scrophulariaceae, is here recognized as a member of Gesneriaceae and as the first available generic name for the majority of the species previously included in Phinaea. An emended description of Amalophyllon is provided and the frequently confused genera Amalophyllon, Phinaea, and Niphaea are contrasted and the differences between them clarified. Eight species are transferred to Amalophyllon: A. albiflorum, A. caripense, A. divaricatum, A. laceratum, A. macrophyllum, A. repens, A. roezlii, and A. rubidum. Lectotypes are designated for two names, Niphaea parviflora and Napeanthus repens. Three new species, Amalophyllon clarkii, A. macrophylloides, and Ni- phaea pumila, are described. A key to the genera and species and lists of the currently known taxa for all three genera are provided. Key words: Gesneriaceae, Gesnerioideae, Gloxinieae, Scrophulariaceae, Amalophyllon, Niphaea, Phinaea INTRODUCTION and the taxonomic affinity of several taxa has remained uncertain.

  • Exploration and Collection of Ornamental Germplasm Native to Argentina
    ® Floriculture and Ornamental Biotechnology ©2011 Global Science Books Exploration and Collection of Ornamental Germplasm Native to Argentina María S. Soto* • Julián A. Greppi • Gabriela Facciuto Instituto de Floricultura. INTA Castelar. Los Reseros y Las Cabañas s/n. Hurlingham (1686), Buenos Aires, Argentina Corresponding author : * [email protected] ABSTRACT Many of the herbaceous ornamentals under cultivation, or their progenitor species, are endemic to South America and these taxa represent a valuable resource for future breeding programs. Argentina has contributed with an important number of ornamental varieties developed from native germplasm. For example varieties derivates from genera such as Petunia, Glandularia, Portulaca, Alstroemeria, Calceolaria and Calibrachoa have been successful and are broadly cultivated around the world. Since 1999, the breeding working group of the Flori- culture Institute (INTA-Argentina) has successfully addressed various techniques for the domestication, characterization and breeding of ornamental plants from native species. This work begins with the exploration and collection of native plants and finishes with the development of new varieties. According to latest estimates, the vascular flora of Argentina comprises a total of 248 families, 1927 genera and 9690 species, including 45 endemic genera and 1906 species. Among them, there are many herbs, shrubs and trees with many colorful flowers and these are worthy of being cultivated in our gardens. In this manuscript, we will present the plant
