A taxonomic monograph of Ipomoea integrated across phylogenetic scales
Taxonomic monographs have the potential to make a unique contribution to the understanding of global biodiversity. However, such studies, now rare, are often considered too daunting to undertake within a realistic time frame, especially as the world’s collections have doubled in size in recent times. Here, we report a global-scale...Muñoz-Rodríguez, Pablo ; Carruthers, Tom ; Wood, John R. I. ; Williams, Bethany R. M. ; Weitemier, Kevin …

Richness and Distribution of Salvia Subg. Calosphace (Lamiaceae)
Premise of research. Salvia is one of the most species-rich genera in the world. Its outstanding diversity and subcosmopolitan distribution have prevented the preparation of a modern comprehensive monograph and reevaluation of its classification. As phylogenetic efforts advance to untangle the evolutionary relationships of Salvia, the need for a solid taxonomic... -

Strobilanthes jomyi (Acanthaceae), a remarkable new species from South India.
A new species, Strobilanthes jomyi, is described and illustrated from Kerala, India. The new species is similar to S. ixiocephala in its spheroidal, echinulate pollen, but differs in its pendulous inflorescence, thinly hispid style, exserted stamens and 4-seeded capsule with entirely pubescent seeds. It is also similar to S. ciliata...Biju, Punnakot ; Josekutty, Elayanithottathil Joseph ; Rekha, Damodaran ; Wood, John R. I.
