Taxonomic revision of the native Magnolia (Magnoliaceae) species of Brazil.
The genus (Magnoliaceae) has a wide and disjunct geographic distribution ranging from Eastern and South Asia to Malaysia, extending across the Neartics and reaching into the Neotropics. Regarding its infrageneric classification, the genus is divided into three subgenera: , and , the latter including the section Talauma in which the... -

Trials and tribulations of Neotropical plant taxonomy: Pace of tree species description.
Dada la inédita preocupación por la actual pérdida global de biodiversidad, resulta importante identificar las mejores estrategias para describir nuevas especies de manera más eficiente, completar el inventario de la flora Neotropical e implementar a tiempo estrategias de conservación apropiadas. Este estudio pretende responder la pregunta de cuánto tiempo... -

Clusia chuj (Clusiaceae), a new tree species from the border between Guatemala and Mexico.
(Clusiaceae) is described and illustrated. This new taxon differs from the other species of the genus by being a tree up to 15 m tall with many-flowered inflorescences. The non-resiniferous, quadrangular flowers have thick, pale-yellow petals, and the androecium in the staminate flowers have 20 (– 30) free, short stamens....Luján, Manuel

Revision of Guarea (Meliaceae).
The species of Guarea F.Allam. ex L. (Meliaceae) are revised. Sixty-nine species are recognised, a key to the species is provided, all names are typified and descriptions of all species are given. A phylogenetic analysis based on ITS sequence data is discussed. Six new species and one new subspecies are...Pennington, T. D. ; Clarkson, J. J.

Repeated evolution of pollination syndromes in a highly diverse bromeliad lineage is correlated with shifts in life form and habitat.
Mutualistic plant-pollinator interactions play a critical role in the diversification of flowering plants. The spatiotemporal correlates of such interactions can be understood in a phylogenetic context. Here, we generate ddRAD-seq data for the highly diverse Vriesea-Stigmatodon lineage to test for correlated trait evolution among pollination syndromes and life form, habitat...
