“Manisa bozaka” or “Counting grass”: Global Grassy Group guide to understanding and measuring the functional and taxonomic composition of ground layer plants.
Grassy biomes span more than 40% of the global land surface and are central to people, biodiversity and Earth System functioning. There is however limited standardised measurement of herbaceous taxonomic and functional composition in grassy biomes that inhibits the development of a comparative understanding of grassy biomes among geographic regions.... -

Tribe Shoreae (Dipterocarpaceae subfamily Dipterocarpoideae) Finally Dissected.
The dipterocarp tribe Shoreae, perhaps more than any other members of this elegant family of often giant emergent trees, is familiar to all who visit the once ubiquitous lowland forests of tropical Asia. Timbers of the genus comprised the bulk of hardwood traded on international markets for thirty years, since...Ashton, P. S. ; Heckenhauer, J.

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... -

Phylogenetic Analysis and Taxonomic Delimitation of the “Hairy-Fig” Complex of Ficus sect. Eriosycea (Moraceae) in China.
The hairy-fig complex of Ficus sect. Eriosycea (Moraceae) includes F. hirta, F. esquiroliana, F. simplicissima and a Chinese entity misidentified as F. fulva. These species are difficult to delimit because of the continuously varying morphological characteristics. In order to re-evaluate the status of these taxa, herbarium specimens were extensively examined...Lu, Jing ; Gui, Ping ; Lu, Zhong-Ling ; Zhang, Li-Fang ; Tian, Huai-Zhen …

Update on the systematics of Benstonea (Pandanaceae): When a visionary taxonomist foresees phylogenetic relationships.
The paleotropical monocot Pandanaceae family comprises c. 700 species distributed into five genera: Benstonea (c. 60 spp.), Freycinetia (c. 250 spp.), Martellidendron (6 spp.), Pandanus (c. 450 spp.) and Sararanga (2 spp.). Benstonea was circumscribed to include species previously placed in Pandanus section Acrostigma (one of the four sections of...Callmander, Martin W. ; Booth, Thomas J. ; Beentje, Henk ; Buerki, Sven
