A revision of the neotropical Mucuna species (Leguminosae—Papilionoideae).
The genus Mucuna comprises approximately 105 tropical and sub-tropical species, with the highest diversity occurring in the Paleotropics. In the Neotropics, 13 new species have been described recently and a number of regional floras have been published. A recent floristic treatment for Colombia has summarized the Mucuna species found in...Mucuna, Eudicots, Systematics, Neotropics, Fabaceae, and Taxonomy

Advances and perspectives on the evolutionary history and diversification of Neotropical Myrteae (Myrtaceae).
Myrtaceae are one of the largest families of flowering plants and are widely distributed in the Neotropics, where they are mainly represented by the tribe Myrteae. Myrteae are the most species-rich tribe of Myrtaceae and include groups with significant ecological and economic importance. Myrteae are considered to be a model...Phylogenetics, Species diversity, Evolutionary trends, Systematics, Neotropics, and South America

Untargeted Metabolomics Sheds Light on the Diversity of Major Classes of Secondary Metabolites in the Malpighiaceae Botanical Family.
Natural products produced by plants are one of the most investigated natural sources, which substantially contributed to the development of the natural products field. Even though these compounds are widely explored, the literature still lacks comprehensive investigations aiming to explore the evolution of secondary metabolites produced by plants, especially if...Systematics, Evolution, Chemotaxonomy, Metabolomics, Malpighiales, Ancestral character reconstruction, Metabolite annotation, and Mass spectrometry

Taxonomic monograph of Eugenia sect. Schizocalomyrtus (Myrtaceae: Myrteae), a group within Eugenia with unusual flowers.
Taxonomic monograph of Eugenia sect. Schizocalomyrtus, supported by molecular and morphological evidence, is presented. The flowers of this section have unusual fused calyces that are contrasted with standard Eugenia flowers with free calyx lobes. Because the fused calyx recurs in Myrtaceae and has been historically misleading for taxonomists, a key...Giaretta, Augusto ; Lucas, Eve ; Sano, Paulo Takeo

Systematics of Vigna subgenus Lasiospron (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae: Phaseolinae).
A taxonomic treatment is herein provided for the six primarily Neotropical species of subg. . This subgenus is distinguished, in part, by its close relationship with Old World species, but rather than having an Old World floral asymmetry where distal floral parts can have a right-hand curvature (from a face-view...Delgado-Salinas, Alfonso ; Lavin, Matt ; Snak, Cristiane ; Lewis, Gwilym P.

A linear classification of Cyperaceae.
This paper provides a linear classification of two subfamilies, 24 tribes, 10 subtribes and 95 genera of the monocot family Cyperaceae (Poales), based on a stable phylogenetic framework resulting from years of morphological, molecular phylogenetic and phylogenomic studies. The family includes c. 5687 species. The most species-rich tribes are the...Larridon, Isabel
