1030. AESCULUS CHINENSIS: Sapindaceae.
The Chinese horse‐chestnut, , is illustrated from a tree cultivated at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. This tree was grown from seeds originally imported from China by Dr Purdom, from whom Kew obtained a plant. A detailed description accompanies this excellent illustration. The taxonomy, ecology, cytology and etymology are also...Christenhusz, Maarten J. M. ; Yamanaka, Masumi

Creating a multi-linked dynamic dataset: a case study of plant genera named for women.
A discussion on social media led to the formation of a multidisciplinary group working on this project to highlight women’s contributions to science. The role of marginalised groups in science has been a topic of much discussion, but data on these contributions are largely lacking. Our motivation for the development... -

Taxonomy and systematics of Urophyllum (Rubiaceae) in Thailand and Indochina.
The genus Urophyllum Wall. is a taxonomically problematic genus of Rubiaceae in Thailand due to the lack of a recent taxonomic revision and identification key to the species. This has led to confusion in the identification of species and no conservation status assessments for the genus. The aim of this...Yooprasert, Sawita

Doctoral thesis
Heterogeneous cloth: an ethnography of the coming into being of barkcloth artefacts at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and amongst the Nuaulu of Nua Nea Village, Maluku, Eastern Indonesia.
5. Abstract This thesis uses barkcloth artefacts as a methodological point of entry and fieldsite, to explore their material properties. It argues that the material properties of barkcloth artefacts are indexical of social relations, as it moves between contexts; exploring the nature of properties as inherently diverse or diversely exploited,... -

Plant conservation in space, time and a changing world: forecasting the fate of Coffea arabica in Ethiopia.
We are facing an ever-increasing environmental crisis on our planet, with multiple threats from humankind. Industrialisation, deforestation, overpopulation and exploitation of our natural resources is driving species to extinction and changing the environment we live in. We need to plan for the future in order to adapt or mitigate these...Moat, Justin

Species integrity and hybridization in anthropomorphic Orchis species (Orchidaceae).
Hybridization is widespread in Orchis (Orchidaceae), with 38 recorded hybrids between the 21 accepted species. The four anthropomorphic Orchis species that occur in Britain (O. anthropophora, O. militaris, O. purpurea and O. simia) are on the edge of their range and are of high conservation priority. Understanding how these species...Bersweden, Leif

Implications of a local flora survey for pre‐human grass flora in north‐western Madagascar.
On apprend aux enfants de Madagascar que leurs ancêtres ont détruit la vaste forêt ancienne donnant naissance aux prairies modernes, un mythe trompeur qui continue à saper la relation des gens avec la nature. Remplacer ce mythe par un récit plus nuancé et précis sur les écosystèmes herbeux est... -

Fossil evidence from the Rhynie Chert (Scotland, UK) shows that were already diverse in terrestrial ecosystems over 407-million-years-ago, yet evidence for the occurrence of the subkingdom of that includes the phyla and ) in this... -

Characterization of Terpenoids from the Ambrosia Beetle Symbiont and Laurel Wilt Pathogen Harringtonia lauricola.
Little is known concerning terpenoids produced by members of the fungal order Ophiostomales, with the member Harringtonia lauricola having the unique lifestyle of being a beetle symbiont but potentially devastating tree pathogen. Nine known terpenoids, including six labdane diterpenoids (1–6) and three hopane triterpenes (7–9), were isolated from H. lauricola... -

Molecular ecology and conservation of Mediterranean orchids and their mycorrhizal fungi.
The distribution and abundance of orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) can influence the the establishment and resulting spatial pattern, as well as the population dynamics, of their host plants. Yet, our understanding of these mycorrhizal associations is currently limited by our restricted knowledge of the ecology and spatial distribution of OMF,...Calevo, Jacopo

Boraginaceae Varronia rupicola (Urb.) Brtton : biogeography, systematic placement and conservation genetics of a threatened species endemic to the Caribbean.
In the Caribbean region, Varronia rupicola (Boraginaceae) is a medium to large, woody shrub endemic to the Puerto Rican Bank where it is threatened with extinction due to its limited area of occupancy, small populations and on-going threats. The greatest of these is currently loss of suitable habitat through development...Hamilton, Martin Allen

Conservation genetics and biogeography of the Caribbean pine (Pinus caribaea var. bahamensis) in the Bahaman archipelago.
The Bahaman archipelago contains large expanses of pine forests, where the endemic Caribbean pine Pinus caribaea var. bahamensis is the dominant species. This pine forest ecosystem is rich in species and also a valuable resource for the local economy. Small areas of old-growth forest still remain in the Turks and...Sanchez, Michele

Molecular and Genome Evolution in the Malesian Slipper Orchids (Paphiopedilum section Barbata).
Paphiopedilum section Barbata (Cypripedioideae: Orchidaceae) is an evolutionarily young and charismatic group of terrestrial orchids native to the Himalayas, Indochina and Malesia. It contains several interesting species complexes, variable chromosome numbers (2n=28-42) and genome sizes (2C=55-70 pg) with hybrid speciation suspected on the basis of morphological data. In Chapter 1,...Yap, Jing Wei
