Revision of the Afro-Madagascan genus Costularia (Schoeneae, Cyperaceae): infrageneric relationships and species delimitation
A recent molecular phylogenetic study revealed four distinct evolutionary lineages in the genus Costularia s.l. (Schoeneae, Cyperaceae, Poales). Two lineages are part of the Oreobolus clade of tribe Schoeneae: the first being a much-reduced genus Costularia s.s., and the second a lineage endemic to New Caledonia for which a new...Larridon, Isabel ; Rabarivola, Linah ; Xanthos, Martin ; Muasya, A

Response of xerophytic plants to glacial cycles in southern South America
Quaternary glaciations strongly affected the distribution of species from arid and semi-arid environments, as temperature drops were accompanied by strong fluctuations in rainfall. In this study, we examined the response of xerophytic species to glacial cycles, determining the genetic patterns and climatic niche of Echinopsis chiloensis var. chiloensis, an endemic...Pérez, Fernanda ; Ossa, Carmen ; Montenegro, Paz ; Larridon, Isabel

Crosslandia setifolia is a partly monoecious species of Fimbristylis (Abildgaardieae: Cyperaceae)
While the limits of Fimbristylis Vahl (1805: 285) are contentious (Goetghebeur & Coudijzer 1984, Gordon-Gray 1971, Lye 1971, 1973), particularly with regard to the inclusion of Abildgaardia Vahl (1805: 296) within Fimbristylis , all current data support the derivation of Crosslandia W.Fitzg. (1906: 9) from within Fimbristylis (Ghamkhar et al....Roalson, Eric ; Barrett, Russell ; Wilson, Karen ; Bruhl, Jeremy ; Larridon, Isabel

A taxonomic study of Scleria subgenus Hypoporum: synonymy, typification and a new identification key
For Scleria subgen. Hypoporum , 214 species and infraspecific names were published since the first publication of the name Scleria. These names represent 76 accepted taxa, representing 72 species of Scleria subgen. Hypoporum . Herbarium material of all recognised species was studied, including the type material if available. Synonymy and...Bauters, K ; Larridon, Isabel ; Goetghebeur, P

A broader circumscription of Bulbostylis including Nemum (Abildgaardieae: Cyperaceae)
Phylogenetic hypotheses and morphological characterizations of genera in the Abildgaardieae have suggested that current generic circumscriptions are not monophyletic. We here provide an updated phylogenetic hypothesis of the Abildgaardieae using nrDNA ITS sequences that continues to support the derivation of Nemum from within the Bulbostylis lineage. We make the nomenclatural...Roalson, Eric ; Prata, Ana ; Mesterhazy, Attila ; Chase, Mark ; Simpson, David …

Revision and new species of the African genus Mischogyne (Annonaceae)
Mischogyne (Annonaceae, tribe Monodoreae) is a genus of small- to medium-sized tropical trees and shrubs. It is characterised by a combination of: (1) stamens and carpels on a more or less extended torus; (2) carpels divergent from each other at the apex of the torus above the anthers; (3) anthers...Gosline, George ; Marshall, Andrew R. ; Larridon, Isabel
