Phylogenetic relationships of Fabales, the effect of outgroups on Fabales topology and the evolution of keel flowers within the order.
Fabales is a cosmopolitan angiosperm order which consists of four families, Leguminosae (Fabaceae), Polygalaceae, Surianaceae and Quillajaceae. Despite the great interest of botanists, a convincing phylogeny of the order is still not available because almost every phylogenetic study reveals a different scheme of relationships amongst families of the order. Therefore,...Aygoren Uluer, Deniz

Fungal interactions with vascular and non-vascular plants: an investigation of mutualisms and their roles in heathland regeneration.
Mycorrhizal mutualisms between aboveground vascular plant communities, which reward their belowground fungal associates with photosynthates in return for growth-limiting nutrients such as phosphate, are widely recognized as stable long-term interactions which helped plants colonize land. Pezoloma ericae (D.J. Read) Baral, an ascomycete mycorrhiza-forming fungus present amongst plants in the Ericales,...Kowal, Jill

Phylogenetics and characterisation of Lamiaceae tribe Ocimeae, subtribe Ociminae.
Phylogenetic analyses of the subtribe Ociminae (Lamiaceae) based on four plastid DNA regions (trnL–trnF intergenic spacer, trnH-psbA intergenic spacer, matK and rps16 intron) and two nuclear DNA regions (ITS and ETS) are presented. Bayesian inference was utilized for the reconstruction of phylogenies and for the assessment of statistical support for...Althobaiti, Ashwaq T.

1030. AESCULUS CHINENSIS: Sapindaceae.
The Chinese horse‐chestnut, , is illustrated from a tree cultivated at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. This tree was grown from seeds originally imported from China by Dr Purdom, from whom Kew obtained a plant. A detailed description accompanies this excellent illustration. The taxonomy, ecology, cytology and etymology are also...Christenhusz, Maarten J. M. ; Yamanaka, Masumi

Creating a multi-linked dynamic dataset: a case study of plant genera named for women.
A discussion on social media led to the formation of a multidisciplinary group working on this project to highlight women’s contributions to science. The role of marginalised groups in science has been a topic of much discussion, but data on these contributions are largely lacking. Our motivation for the development... -

Taxonomy and systematics of Urophyllum (Rubiaceae) in Thailand and Indochina.
The genus Urophyllum Wall. is a taxonomically problematic genus of Rubiaceae in Thailand due to the lack of a recent taxonomic revision and identification key to the species. This has led to confusion in the identification of species and no conservation status assessments for the genus. The aim of this...Yooprasert, Sawita
