Two new species of Diospyros (Ebenaceae) from New Guinea.
The genus Diospyros (Ebenaceae) is highly diverse throughout Malesia, and New Guinea is thought to host c.46 species. Here we present a taxonomic treatment of a group of vegetatively similar species from the region, characterised by the large, chartaceous leaves that develop a peculiarly dark colour when dried. As a...Puglisi, C. ; Jimbo, Tiberius ; Hagwood, Austin

Revised Species Delimitation in the Giant Water Lily Genus Victoria (Nymphaeaceae) Confirms a New Species and Has Implications for Its Conservation.
Reliably documenting plant diversity is necessary to protect and sustainably benefit from it. At the heart of this documentation lie species concepts and the practical methods used to delimit taxa. Here, we apply a total-evidence, iterative methodology to delimit and document species in the South American genus (Nymphaeaceae). The systematics... -

Chromosome number, heterochromatin, and genome size support recent polyploid origin of the Epidendrum nocturnum group and reveal a new species (Laeliinae, Orchidaceae).
The Epidendrum nocturnum Jacq. group comprises about 60 species. Nine species occur in Brazil, predominantly in the Atlantic and Amazon Forests. The group is taxonomically complex because its species are morphologically similar and not easily distinguished. The main objective of this work is to characterize their chromosome evolution and how... -
