A new Angolan species from the Triaspis hypericoides complex (Malpighiaceae) based on macromorphology and palynology.
currently comprises three accepted subspecies endemic to woodland savannas of southern continental Africa. After an unusual population belonging to this complex was collected in southwestern Angola, we re‐evaluated the classification of this group. This study was based on the analysis of type specimens, protologues, field photographs and herbarium sheets of... -

Evolution of pollen grain morphology in Amorimia and allies evidences the importance of palynological apomorphies and homoplasies in Malpighiaceae systematics.
– Pollen grain morphology is an important morphological character for aiding the systematics of flowering plants. For Malpighiaceae, only a single unpublished palynological study has comprehensively sampled ca 60 of this family’s 75 currently accepted genera. To test the systematic relevance of pollen morphology in and allies, we characterised the... -

Evolution of connective glands reveals a new synapomorphy for Malpighiaceae and the hidden potential of staminal glands for Malpighiales systematics..
Connective glands are important morphological characters for the taxonomy of some genera of Malpighiaceae, with few recent studies having just elucidated these glands’ anatomical and ecological functions. In order to test the systematic relevance of connective glands to the currently accepted phylogenetic informal clades of Malpighiaceae, we characterised the anatomy...de Almeida, Rafael Felipe ; Arévalo-Rodrigues, Gustavo ; de Morais, Isa L. ; Cardoso-Gustavson, Poliana

Barking up the wrong tree: the dangers of taxonomic misidentification in molecular phylogenetic studies.
– is a Brazilian endemic genus that has sat uncomfortably in Convolvulaceae where it was placed due to an enlarged and adnate fruit bract typical of . A recent molecular phylogeny suggested that two of its five morphologically almost identical species actually belong to two different families, Malpighiaceae (superrosids) and...
