Sixty-seven species newly recorded for the flora of Angola: recent findings from vegetation surveys and herbarium collections.
Angola is a tropical country with many biogeographical units and, therefore, has a high floristic diversity. Although an increasing number of floristic studies has been carried out in Angola in recent years, the country is still considered to be underinvestigated as many species being collected were previously unknown there. Several... -

Browse from Three Tree Legumes Increases Forage Production for Cattle in a Silvopastoral System in the Southwest Amazon.
Assessing the palatability of forage from locally adapted trees could improve the sustainability of livestock production systems. However, grasses continue to dominate livestock feed across the Amazon. We established a silvopastoral cattle farming system in Peru, comparing three different forage tree species with grass monocultures using a randomised block design....Dablin, Lucy ; Lewis, Simon L. ; Milliken, William ; Monro, Alexandre ; Lee, Mark A.

Botanical Monography in the Anthropocene
Botanical monographs have been the gold standard for communicating comprehensive systematic information about plants for over 300 years. Monographs catalyse species discovery, biodiversity documentation and conservation, and facilitate downstream research on wild and cultivated plant species. Increased availability of DNA sequence data and digitised resources now provide powerful resources for...Grace, Olwen M. ; Pérez-Escobar, Oscar A. ; Lucas, Eve J. ; Vorontsova, Maria S. ; Lewis, Gwilym P. …

Supplementary descriptions of inflorescence and achene of two species of Elatostema (Urticaceae) from China
We demonstrate the high value of the inflorescence and achene for taxon delimitation in Elatostema. Over half of the descriptions of the ca 280 species described from China, however, lack information on inflorescence and/or achene morphology and this hampers the progress of species discovery and infrageneric classification. In this paper...Fu, Long-Fei ; Xin, Zi-Bing ; Monro, Alexandre ; Wen, Fang ; Li, Shu …

The rediscovery and delimitation of Elatostema setulosum W.T.Wang (Urticaceae)
Of the 280 species of Elatostema documented in China, 189 are known only from a single collection. Elatostemasetulosum is one such species, having been known only from the type collection for nearly half a century, until recent field investigations in Guangxi. Due to its morphological similarity to E.huanjiangense and E.tetracephalum,...Fu, Long-Fei ; Monro, Alexandre ; Wen, Fang ; Xin, Zi-Bing ; Wei, Yi-Gang …
