A Systematic Overview of the Floral Diversity in Myrteae (Myrtaceae).
With ca. 2500 species, Myrteae is the largest tribe of Myrtaceae and one of the most diverse groups of flowering plants in the tropical Americas. In light of recent systematics adjustments, the present study is a review and provides new insights into floral diversity and evolution in Myrteae. General aspects...Vasconcelos, Thais N.

Spicoid morphology of Mapanioideae (Cyperaceae): an evolutionary perspective.
Cyperaceae subfamily Mapanioideae have reproductive units called spicoids, which are interpreted alternatively as flowers or partial inflorescence, and little is known about morphological variation of spicoids from an evolutionary perspective. Combining morphological and evolutionary analyses, we aimed to assess variation in spicoid morphology and its evolutionary significance. Spicoid morphology of...Monteiro, Mariana M. ; Demarco, Diego ; Larridon, Isabel ; Prychid, Christina J. ; Prenner, Gerhard

Convergent evolution in calyptrate flowers of Syzygieae (Myrtaceae)
Abstract Shedding a fused perianth as a calyptra at anthesis is a trait that has evolved independently multiple times in angiosperm evolutionary history. However, calyptras do not correspond to homologous structures in all cases. Here, we describe calyptra development in the evolutionary context of Myrtaceae tribe Syzygieae. We use scanning...Vasconcelos, Thais N C ; Lucas, Eve J ; Conejero, Maria ; Giaretta, Augusto ; Prenner, Gerhard
