The ‘Hebridean Marsh-Orchid’: Nomenclatural and conceptual clarification of a biological enigma
Authors: Bateman R. M. , Denholm I.
Published: April 2010

The ‘Hebridean Marsh-orchid’ is a controversial dactylorchid taxon currently regarded as endemic to the island of North Uist in the Scottish Hebrides. Re-evaluation of past taxonomic treatments reveals that none of its three names – Dactylorhiza majalis (Reichenbach f.) P. F. Hunt & Summerhayes subsp. scotica Nelson (1976, 1979), D. majalis subsp. occidentalis (Pugsley) Soó var. ebudensis Wiefelspütz (in Landwehr, 1977), and D. majalis subsp. occidentalis var. scotica (Nelson) R. M. Bateman & Denholm (1983) – has been validly published. We herein legitimize D. majalis subsp. occidentalis var. ebudensis Wiefelspütz ex R. M. Bateman & Denholm, presenting for the first time full details of its lectotype. However, we also note that this nomenclatural clarification has no relevance to determining the most appropriate rank for, and biological significance of, this taxon, which is one of many doubtfully distinct ‘critical’ taxa of dactylorchids that occur in western and northern regions of the British Isles. Taxonomic opinions expressed on these populations to date have been based on sparse, qualitative, and often contradictory data, and most lacked an explicit conceptual framework. We outline a more rigorous analytical protocol.
Distichochlamys, a new genus from Vietnam
Authors: Newman M. F.
Published: April 2010

A new monotypic genus, Distichochlamys (Zingiberaceae; Hedychieae), and its species, D. citrea, are described from central Vietnam. Its affinities lie with Scaphochlamys and Boesenbergia and, through them, to the wider group containing Kaempferia and Haplochorema.
Incompatibility in basidiomycetes: The heterogenic Pentax
Authors: Kemp R. F. O.
Published: April 2010

A heterogenic system of incompatibility is described in Coprinus bisporus which involves two alleles at two loci, in addition to the unifactorial homogenic incompatibility locus already described for this two-spored species. The patterns of non-allelic heterogenic incompatibility found in C. bisporus are used to predict those expected in species with bifactorial homogenic incompatibility. This type of heterogenic incompatibility could lead to speciation.

Monograph of Euphorbia sect. Tithymalopsis(Euphorbiaceae)
Authors: Park K.
Published: April 2010

Euphorbia sect. Tithymalopsis (Euphorbiaceae) comprises seven species of herbaceous perennials restricted to the south-eastern USA. The species of sect. Tithymalopsis are united and distinguished from other sections in Euphorbia by having a thick and cylindrical root system, a glabrous cyathium, five glands with petaloid appendages, one to three stems arising from the root, absence of vestigial sepals in pistillate flowers, rounded leaf apices, and pitted or smooth seeds without a caruncle. Cladistic analyses indicate that sect. Tithymalopsis consists of two subgroups: (1) E. corollata, E. discoidalis, E. pubentissima and E. polyphylla; and (2) E. curtisii, E. gracilior and E. mercurialina. Comparative data from vegetative morphology, pollen morphology, seed morphology, cytology, crossability, reproductive biology, habitat and distribution are presented. Keys and descriptions to the species are provided.

A revision of the genus Tripterygium (Celastraceae)
Authors: Jin-Shuang Ma , Brach A. R. , Liu Quan-Ru
Published: April 2010

To better understand the genus Tripterygium for the Flora of China, the history of the genus and its species is summarized and characters traditionally used to divide the genus re-examined. Because no reliable differentiating characters were found, all of the previously named taxa in the genus are reduced to the single species, Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.f. The range of this monospecific genus is typical of many in the East Asian flora.

Conservation of Britain's biodiversity IV: Filago pyramidata(Asteraceae), broad-leaved cudweed
Authors: Rich T. C. G.
Published: April 2010

This paper summarizes conservation work carried out on Filago pyramidata L. (Asteraceae), broad-leaved cudweed, between 1993 and 1996 in Britain. It was formerly native in 125 10km squares in about 240 localities. In 1993–1996 it was recorded in eight 10km squares (94% decline) in eight localities (97% decline). Historically its main habitats were arable fields, road and track sides, and heaths, commons and quarries. It has declined in arable field habitats owing to changes in agricultural practices, and from tracks and roadsides because of reduced disturbance. The decline occurred gradually before the 1970s. Populations show marked variations from year to year and marked differences between sites, owing to climate and management. The best conservation management based on practical experience is annual digging or rotavation in early autumn. The plant is under severe threat in Britain; four sites are designated as SSSIs, but two of the four largest populations are unprotected.

Gradient analysis of an area of coastal vegetation in the State of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil
Authors: Oliveira-Filho Ary T. De
Published: April 2010

A transect of coastal vegetation was surveyed forits plant communities in the state of Paraíba, Northeastern Brazil. Two main plant formations are found in this region. The ‘restinga’ is the coastal sand dune vegetation and the ‘tabuleiro’ is the adjacent savanna-like formation. The ordination of sample units and species of the transect showed that these plant formations cannot be considered as discrete communities but they are actually a vegetational continuum made up of species adapted to sandy soils but with varying distributional patterns according to the exposure to maritime influences.As comunidades vegetais de uma transeção de vegetação costeira foram inventariadas no litoral norte do estado da Paraíba, Brasil. Duas formações vegetais predominam nesta região: a restinga, que é a vegetação das dunas arenosas costeiras, e o tabuleiro, que é a formaçõo savânica (cerrado) adjacente. A ordenação de parcelas e espécies da transeção mostrou que estas duas formações vegetais não podem ser consideradas como comunidades discretas, mas sim como um contínuo vegetacional composto de espécies adaptadas a solos arenosos, mas com variados padrões distribucionais de acordo com a exposição às influências marinhas.

Studies in tropical African Lactarius species. 4. Species described by P. Hennings and M. Beeli
Authors: Verbeken A.
Published: April 2010

Type studies and illustrated descriptions are given of the tropical African Lactarius (Russulaceae) species described by Hennings (1902) and Beeli (1927–1936) which were not included in Heim's monographs (1938, 1955). L. badius Verbeken nom. nov., L. russulaeformis (Beeli) Verbeken comb. nov. and L. kalospermus (Beeli) Verbeken & Walleyn comb. nov. are proposed. L. congolensis Beeli is shown to be an earlier name for both L. craterelloides R. Heim & Gooss.-Font. and L. unicolor Gooss.-Font. & R. Heim which are identical, L. russulaeformis is an earlier name for L. pellicularis R. Heim, L. annulatoangustifolius (Beeli) Buyck is an earlier name for L. pandani R. Heim, and both L. pandani f. intermedius and L. pandani f. pallidus are concluded to be synonyms of L. pelliculatus (Beeli) Buyck. L. zenkeri (Henn.) Singer is neotypified and L. goossensiae Beeli and Lactarius sesemotani (Beeli) Buyck are lectotypified. Finally, Lentinus clitocyboides Henn. is not based on Lactarius, as suggested by Pegler (1983), but on Russula.

Notes relating to the Flora of Bhutan: XXXIV. Convolvulaceae
Authors: Mill R. R.
Published: April 2010

The typification of Rivca ornata (Roxb.) Choisy (Convolvulaceae), based on Lettsomia ornata Roxb., is discussed. R. ornata is shown to have been frequently (though not consistently) misapplied to a taxon from S India and Sri Lanka which has also been called Convolvulus candicans Roth ex Roem. & Schult., nom. illegit.; it is here newly described as R. wightiana R.R. Mill. Lettsomia ornata was based on a specimen of a plant introduced to Calcutta Botanic Garden from Uttar Pradesh. This is synonymous with Rivea ornata var. griffithii C.B. Clarke, not Clarke's ‘typical variety’ which Prain formally named var. typica. Lectotypifications are proposed for two species names in Argyreia Lour. Calystegia hederacea Wall., Convolvulus arvensis L. and Dichondra repens J.R. & G. Forst. are recorded from Bhutan for the first time.

A Reconsideration of Brachychilum Petersen (Hedychieae: Zingiberaceae)
Authors: Newman Mark
Published: April 2010

The morphological difference between the monospecific genus Brachychilum and Hedychium is bridged by the recently described Hedychium muluense R. M. Smith. Cytological studies reported here show that at least one stock of B. horsfieldii (Wall.) O. Petersen shares the same basic chromosome number and morphology with Hedychium. The genus Brachychilum should therefore be placed in synonymy with Hedychium, and B. horsfieldii should revert to Hedychium horsfieldii [R. Brown ex] Wall.

The woody flora of cerrado vegetation in the state of Piaui, northeastern Brazil
Authors: Castro A. A. J. F. , Martins F. R. , Fernandes A. G.
Published: April 2010

Cerrado vegetation covers about 33% of the total area of the state of Piauí, northeastern Brazil, where there are also large areas of transition and contact with other vegetation types. Although the Piauí cerrados are a direct northern prolongation of the central core area, they are considered marginal by almost all authors. There are few previous records of their woody flora. This paper presents a floristic list of woody species based on the survey of 11 localities and updating of two already published lists. The climate belongs to Thornthwaite's subhumid category due to Piauí's position between the semiarid northeastern domain and the superhumid Amazon. The annual total rainfall is similar to that of the major part of the Brazilian cerrado area, but the rainy season is shorter. The soils differ from most cerrado soils in containing a greater proportion of concretions and plinthite with generally lighter colours, which may be interpreted as indicating large fluctuations of the water-table during pedogenesis. There are also widespread indications of seasonal high water-table showing that many of the Piauí cerrados probably belong to Sarmiento's hyperseasonal savannah category. A total of 60 families is represented by 307 woody taxa (including 14 family indet., four genera indet. and 80 species indet.). The lowest floristic diversity (richness) occurred in pure cerrado, the greatest in transition and contact areas.O cerrado do Piauí, nordeste do Brasil, cobre cerca de 33% da área do estado e apresenta extensas áreas de transição e contato com outros tipos de vegetação. É um prolongamento setentrional do cerrado central, mas é considerado marginal. Sua flora lenhosa é pouco conhecida. Este trabalho apresenta uma lista florística lenhosa baseada em 11 levantamentos de campo e atualização de duas listas já publicadas. Os climas são subúmidos de Thornthwaite, em decorrência de sua localização entre o domínio semi-árido nordestino e o superúmido amazônico. O total anual de chuva é semelhante ao do resto do cerrado, mas a estação chuvosa é bem mais curta. Os solos são diferentes dos do restante dos cerrados, apresentando concreções, plintita e cores claras, indicando grandes flutuações do lençol freático durante a pedogênese. As grandes flutuações estacionais do lençol freático implicam em que boa parte do cerrado piauiense possa ser classificada como savana hiperestacional de Sarmiento. Apresenta-se um total de 60 famílias conhecidas e 308 táxons lenhosos (14 desconhecidos no nível de família, 4 desconhecidos no nível de gênero e 80 desconhecidos no nível de espécie). A menor diversidade (riqueza) florística ocorreu no domínio puro do cerrado; as maiores ocorreram nas áreas de transição.

A critical examination of the status of Pernettya as a genus distinct from Gaultheria
Authors: Middleton D. J. , Wilcock C. C.
Published: April 2010

The taxonomic status of the genus Pernettya Gaud. (Ericaceae) has been assessed by comparing morphological, anatomical, chemical and cytological characters between Pernettya, Gaultheria L. and a number of other genera in the Gaultheria group of the tribe Andromedeae. It has been concluded that Pernettya is not sufficiently distinct from Gaultheria to be maintained as a separate genus. Two new names and fifteen new combinations within Gaultheria are here proposed.

Authors: Mill R. R.
Published: April 2010

The classification of three subtropical, primarily Indian, members of the tribe Cynoglosseae (Boraginaceae) which C. B. Clarke included in Paracaryum P. coelestinum (Lindley) Bentham, P. lambertianum C. B. Clarke and P.malabaricum C. B. Clarke – is discussed. The conclusion reached is that Clarke was correct to assign them all to one genus, but that none has any affinity with the mainly Irano-Turanian genus Paracaryum (DC.) Boiss. Cynoglossum L. sect. Paracaryopsis H. Riedl, to which Riedl transferred P. coelestinum, is elevated to generic rank as Paracaryopsis (H. Riedl) R. Mill, with three new combinations at specific rank. A systematic treatment of Paracaryopsis is given.

Ecology, reproductive biology and hybridization inGaultheriaL.
Authors: Middleton David J.
Published: April 2010

The ecology, reproductive biology and hybridization of species in the genusGaultheria(Ericaceae) has been investigated with particular reference to those species in Ecuador. Most species were found to be plants of disturbed ground particularly on roadside banks and forest margins. The species in Ecuador were not seen to be visited by potential pollinators although fruit set was high. No animals were seen to eat the fleshy fruits. Male sterile plants of many species from throughout the distribution of the genus were observed indicating a higher level of gynodioecism in the genus than previously thought. Empty anthers in two Ecuadorean species suggests that gynodioecism may be present in many species without any clear morphological change. A hybrid betweenGaultheria myrsinoidesandG. reticulatahas been found in Ecuador.

An instance of East-West confusion in Chinese Umbelliferae, or Arracacia out of Asia!
Authors: Constance L.
Published: April 2010

Franchet (1894) described two species from Yunnan as Arracacha (= Arracacia) delavayi and A. peucedanifolia, respectively, in a genus hitherto known only from Mexico to Bolivia in the New World. Wolff (1925) made A. delavayi the type of his new genus Physospermopsis, but neither de Boissieu (1906), Wolff, nor Norman could find an appropriate generic home for A. peucedanifolia. In 1980, Sheh and Shan established the new genus Cyclorhiza with one species and a second taxon which became C. major (M.L. Sheh & R.H. Shan) M.L. Sheh in Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae. This work does not mention either A. peucedanifolia or Cenolophiwn chinense M. Hiroe (1958), which was based on similar material. The correct name for A. peucedanifolia is Cyclorhiza peucedanifolia (Franch.) Constance, comb. nov. and the genus Arracacia is to be excluded from Asia.

Systematics of the genus Cyclopia Vent. (Fabaceae, Podalyrieae)
Authors: Schutte A. L.
Published: April 2010

Cyclopia is a papilionaceous genus endemic to the Western and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa. The 23 species recognized within the genus have rather subtle differences, but characters of the leaves, bracts and calyces, as well as the adaptations to survive recurrent fires, are useful to distinguish between the species. Variations in morphological, cytological and chemical characters are discussed. A phylogenetic analysis of 21 characters by means of cladistic methodology produced a cladogram with five distinct groups. These are described as sections in the taxonomic part of the paper. One new species, Cyclopia alopecuroides A.L. Schutte, is described. The nomenclature, synonymy and typification of the taxa are presented, as well as full descriptions, illustrations and distribution maps.

Fruit morphology, anatomy and taxonomy of tribe Nepeteae (Labiatae)
Authors: Budantsev A. L. , Lobova T. A.
Published: April 2010

The results of a detailed SEM study of nutlet morphology in 156 species of tribe Nepeteae (Labiatae) are presented. Two main types, smooth and sculptured, are described; within them such subgroups as reticulate, cellular, verrucose and tuberculate are defined. The taxonomic significance of these characters is discussed. Pericarp structure was investigated in 34 species. Mucilaginous tubercles were found on the surface of the nutlets in Nepeta, Drepanocaryum and Lophanthus, and their structure is described. In the 10 genera of this widespread tribe, three informal generic groups are recognized, based on a combination of nutlet morphology, pericarp structure and vegetative and floral features.
