Nomenclatural notes on some autumn flowering daffodils (Narcissus, Amaryllidaceae).
Autumn flowering daffodils have been recorded in taxonomic history for at least 500 years. First descriptions were often merely based on hearsay, as they were often not studied alive. Consequently, many errors in interpretation of these names have occurred and taxonomic confusion, errors in identification and misapplication of names have...Koopowitz, Harold ; Howe, Marilynn ; Christenhusz, Maarten J.

Giant Fern Genomes Show Complex Evolution Patterns: A Comparative Analysis in Two Species of Tmesipteris (Psilotaceae).
Giant genomes are rare across the plant kingdom and their study has focused almost exclusively on angiosperms and gymnosperms. The scarce genetic data that are available for ferns, however, indicate differences in their genome organization and a lower dynamism compared to other plant groups. Tmesipteris is a small genus of... -
