Taxonomic revision of the threatened African genus Pseudohydrosme Engl. (Araceae), with P. ebo, a new, critically endangered species from Ebo, Cameroon
This is the first revision in more than 100 years of the African genus Pseudohydrosme, formerly considered endemic to Gabon. Closely related to Anchomanes, Pseudohydrosme is distinct from Anchomanes because of its 2-3-locular ovary (vs. unilocular), peduncle concealed by cataphylls at anthesis and far shorter than the spathe (vs. exposed,...Cheek, Martin ; Tchiengué, Barthélemy ; van der Burgt, Xander

Delimiting the genera of the Ficinia Clade (Cypereae, Cyperaceae) based on molecular phylogenetic data
Generic delimitations in the Ficinia Clade of tribe Cypereae are revisited. In particular, we aim to establish the placement of annual species currently included in Isolepis of which the phylogenetic position is uncertain. Phylogenetic inference is based on two nuclear markers (ETS, ITS) and five plastid markers (the genes matK,...Muasya, A. Muthama ; Larridon, Isabel

Iris sanguinea is conspecific with I. sibirica (Iridaceae) according to morphology and plastid DNA sequence data
A taxonomic revision of Iris subser. Sibiricae is provided based on morphological and molecular analyses and the study of protologues and original material. Two to three species have been recognized in this subseries by botanists. To address the question of species delimitations and relationships within this group, we analyzed four...Boltenkov, Eugeny ; Artyukova, Elena ; Kozyrenko, Marina ; Erst, Andrey ; Trias-Blasi, Anna

Native trees of Mexico: diversity, distribution, uses and conservation
Background Mexico is one of the most floristically rich countries in the world. Despite significant contributions made on the understanding of its unique flora, the knowledge on its diversity, geographic distribution and human uses, is still largely fragmented. Unfortunately, deforestation is heavily impacting this country and native tree species...Tellez, Oswaldo ; Mattana, Efisio ; Diazgranados, Mauricio ; Kühn, Nicola ; Castillo-Lorenzo, Elena …
