Re-establishment of Pithecellobium subglobosum in Colombia and Venezuela (Leguminosae, Mimosoideae, tribe Ingeae).
Pithecellobium subglobosum is re-established as a species and P. concinnum and P. larense are referred to its synonymy. A critical analysis of type specimens of Pithecellobium section Pithecellobium from the Neotropic as well as many other herbarium collections shows that P. subglobosum is a morphologically distinct species related to P.... -

Palaeo-precipitation is a major determinant of palm species richness patterns across Madagascar: a tropical biodiversity hotspot.
The distribution of rainforest in many regions across the Earth was strongly affected by Pleistocene ice ages. However, the extent to which these dynamics are still important for modern-day biodiversity patterns within tropical biodiversity hotspots has not been assessed. We employ a comprehensive dataset of Madagascan palms (Arecaceae) and climate...Rakotoarinivo, Mijoro ; Blach-Overgaard, Anne ; Baker, William J. ; Dransfield, John ; Moat, Justin …

Systematic revision of Platanthera in the Azorean archipelago: not one but three species, including arguably Europe’s rarest orchid.
The Macaronesian islands represent an excellent crucible for exploring speciation. This dominantly phenotypic study complements a separate genotypic study, together designed to identify and circumscribe species (butterfly-orchids) on the Azores, and to determine their geographic origin(s) and underlying speciation mechanism(s). 216 individuals of from 30 Azorean localities spanning all nine...Bateman, Richard M. ; Rudall, Paula J. ; Moura, Mónica
