Notes on morphology, taxonomy and geographic distribution of Apeiba (Malvaceae, Grewioideae) in the Brazilian Amazon.
ABSTRACT Apeiba (Malvaceae, Grewioideae) is an important component of the Neotropical flora, but taxonomic knowledge of its species is limited, particularly within the Amazon region. This study aimed to provide an updated taxonomic treatment of Apeiba native to Brazil, with focus on Amazonian collections. Species of Apeiba are trees with...Secco, Ricardo de S. ; Colli-Silva, Matheus ; Santos Souza, Júlio

Keita (Aptandraceae-Olacaceae s.l.), a new genus for African species previously ascribed to Anacolosa, including K. deniseae sp. nov., an Endangered submontane forest liana from Simandou, Republic of Guinea.
We show that the two continental African species previously ascribed to the genus , differ in so many architectural, floral and vegetative characters from the remaining species of the genus (which occur from Madagascar to the western Pacific, including the type) that they clearly represent a separate genus. The African... -
