Byttneria (Malvaceae, Byttnerioideae) is a Pantropical genus known for its variable growth forms—ranging from shrubs to lianas—and complex floral structures. In this study, we describe a new species, Byttneria filifolia Gerace & Colli-Silva, from B. sect. Crassipetala, found in the Eastern Amazon rainforest of Brazil, specifically in Pará, and Mato...Gerace, Samuele ; Colli-Silva, Matheus

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

One sixth of Amazonian tree diversity is dependent on river floodplains.
Amazonia’s floodplain system is the largest and most biodiverse on Earth. Although forests are crucial to the ecological integrity of floodplains, our understanding of their species composition and how this may differ from surrounding forest types is still far too limited, particularly as changing inundation regimes begin to reshape floodplain... -

Myrcianthes (Myrtaceae) revisited: a new species, a new synonym, a lectotypification and an overview of its wood anatomy.
Myrcianthes is a New World genus of Myrtaceae (Tribe Myrteae) with 38 currently accepted species that was monographed in 1992. This paper proposes a new species, Myrcianthes cruciata from Northeastern Brazil (Bahia, Ceará and Sergipe), the synonymization of M. cavalcantei under M. fragrans and the lectotypification of the former name.... -

Digest: Multiple factors influence mountain orchid diversity and distribution.
How have orchid species diversified in the campos rupestres, Brazil? Fiorini et al. (2023) use genomic data sets and multidisciplinary approaches, including phylogenetics and population genomics, to investigate the diversity of Bulbophyllum. They demonstrate that geographic isolation alone does not explain diversification patterns in Bulbophyllum species throughout the sky forests....Phillips, Charlotte ; Pérez-Escobar, Oscar Alejandro ; Dodsworth, Steven

An updated description of Parkia barnebyana (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae, mimosoid clade) from Amazonian Venezuela and Brazil, and comparison with other species in sect. Parkia with erect capitula.
An updated description, including characters of the capitulum and fertile flowers, is provided for . Originally recorded from southern Venezuela, this small canopy tree from igapó (blackwater flooded forest) is now also known by two collections from north-western Brazil. The capitula are yellow and held erect, with the fertile flowers... -

Miscellaneous taxonomic and nomenclatural notes on Microlicia D.Don (Melastomataceae).
Continuing the taxonomic and nomenclatural studies of the genus Microlicia, we propose 44 synonyms for 15 Brazilian species. Of these synonyms, 27 are species and 17 are varieties described in the 19th or early 20th century. Microlicia castrata, M. oxyanthera and M. oxyanthera var. albiflora are synonymized under M. acuminata;...Romero, Rosana ; Alves Versiane, Ana Flávia ; Woodgyer, Elizabeth M.

A taxonomic account of Myrcia (Myrtaceae) at the sites of the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project, Amazonas, Brazil.
Abstract Myrcia is the sole genus of the Myrciinae, one of the nine subtribes of Myrteae (Myrtaceae). The Amazon forest holds about one-quarter of the Brazilian species of Myrcia, but the genus is still understudied in this whole region. In this context, this study presents a floristic survey of Myrcia...Gaem, Paulo Henrique ; Lucas, Eve ; Andrade, Ana ; Vicentini, Alberto ; Mazine, Fiorella Fernanda

Hydro-Edaphic Gradient and Phylogenetic History Explain the Landscape Distribution of a Highly Diverse Clade of Lianas in the Brazilian Amazon.
Plant distribution patterns may indicate habitat specialization either by closely related species with conserved traits or by phylogenetically distant species with converging traits. Lianas represent a large proportion of the overall tropical species diversity and abundance. Despite their importance, little is known about the relationship between habitat specialization and the... -

Using an Asteraceae checklist to understand collection history, species density and conservation implications: a case study in the state of Alagoas, Northeastern Brazil.
Alagoas is a Brazilian state contained in the area of two large and important phytogeographic domains: Atlantic Forest and Caatinga. Although the presence of these domains possibly indicates a considerable biodiversity, floristic studies in the state are still scarce, especially for the family Asteraceae. In this sense, we developed a... -
