1051. Cathaya argyrophylla Chun Kuang: Pinaceae.
The ‘pearl of the forest’, also known as ‘yin shan’ or the ‘giant panda of the plant kingdom’, is illustrated here (t. 1051) from a tree cultivated at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The discovery and phylogenetics of this species are discussed, and its introduction into horticulture is presented. A... -

Afrothismiaceae (Dioscoreales), a new fully mycoheterotrophic family endemic to tropical Africa.
is a genus of non-photosynthetic mycoheterotrophs from the forests of continental tropical Africa. Multiple phylogenetic inferences using molecular data recover the genus as sister to a clade comprising mycoheterotrophic Thismiaceae and the photosynthetic family Taccaceae, contrary to earlier placements of and Thismiaceae within Burmanniaceae. Morphological support for separating from the... -

Adaptation and the Geographic Spread of Crop Species.
Crops are plant species that were domesticated starting about 11,000 years ago from several centers of origin, most prominently the Fertile Crescent, East Asia, and Mesoamerica. From their domestication centers, these crops spread across the globe and had to adapt to differing environments as a result of this dispersal. We...Gutaker, Rafal M. ; Purugganan, Michael D.

Myrmecia, Not Asterochloris, Is the Main Photobiont of Cladonia subturgida (Cladoniaceae, Lecanoromycetes).
This study explores the diversity of photobionts associated with the Mediterranean lichen-forming fungus Cladonia subturgida. For this purpose, we sequenced the whole ITS rDNA region by Sanger using a metabarcoding method for ITS2. A total of 41 specimens from Greece, Italy, France, Portugal, and Spain were studied. Additionally, two specimens... -

The genome sequence of wood avens, Geum urbanum L., 1753.
We present a genome assembly from an individual (the wood avens; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Rosales; Rosaceae). The genome sequence is 1,304.9 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 21 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial and plastid genomes have also been assembled and are 335.5 and 156.1 kilobases in length...
