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... -

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

Taxonomic revision of the native Magnolia (Magnoliaceae) species of Brazil.
The genus (Magnoliaceae) has a wide and disjunct geographic distribution ranging from Eastern and South Asia to Malaysia, extending across the Neartics and reaching into the Neotropics. Regarding its infrageneric classification, the genus is divided into three subgenera: , and , the latter including the section Talauma in which the... -

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.... -

A new combination in Dolichandra (Bignoniaceae) from Brazil.
The Florae Fluminensis was a colonial and pioneer study about the plants of the captaincy Rio de Janeiro and localities from São Paulo state, elaborated by Friar Vellozo. In the publication of the manuscript, many problems happened and this resulted in loss of priority from names of Vellozo. But in... -

Two new combinations in Brazilian Dendropanax (Araliaceae).
New combinations and lectotypes are here proposed for two Brazilian species of Dendropanax (Araliaceae): Dendropanax simplicifolius for Didymopanax simplicifolius from northern Mato Grosso Amazonian forests, and Dendropanax pruinosus for Gilibertia pruinosa, known only from gallery forests in the Chapada dos Veadeiros region. Both of these species are very poorly known...Fiaschi, Pedro ; Frodin, David G.

A new species of Gomesa (Oncidiinae, Orchidaceae) from inselbergs in Brazilian caatinga: morphological and karyological evidence.
We describe a new species of Gomesa (Oncidiinae, Orchidaceae), Gomesa caatingana, with restricted distribution on caatinga inselbergs in Paraíba and Pernambuco States, Brazil. Morphological and karyological characters of the new species were compared with those of Gomesa flexuosa, which is morphologically the most closely related species. Differences in geographical distribution,... -

Typifications, synonymizations and nomenclatural notes in Myrcia sect. Reticulosae (Myrtaceae).
Myrcia sect. Reticulosae comprises ca. 15 Brazilian endemic species distributed mainly in Atlantic Forest, Cerrado (Brazilian savanna) and Campo Rupestre (rocky outcrop vegetation). These species appeared as a cohesive group for the first time in recent phylogenetic hypotheses and their taxonomic revision is currently underway. In this context, this study...Fernandes, Thiago ; Lima, Duane F. ; Lucas, Eve J. ; Alvarenga Braga, João Marcelo

Hyptis lavoisierifolia, a new species from the noteworthy Hyptis subsect. Pachyphyllae (Lamiaceae—Hyptidinae) endemic to Chapada dos Veadeiros region, Goiás, Brazil.
Hyptis is a genus with about 151 species that belongs to subtribe Hyptidinae, a monophyletic and predominantly Neotropical group from Lamiaceae. The genus has gone through a series of taxonomic changes, especially sectional, since the early 19th century. Hyptis sect. Eriosphaeria subsect. Pachyphyllae, recent reestablished as subsection, is composed, until... -

Rediscovery of Oocephalus foliosus (Hyptidinae—Lamiaceae): notes on taxonomy and conservation of a species endemic to the campo rupestre of Central Brazil.
Oocephalus foliosus was described in the first half of 19th century, based on a collection from central Goiás state, Brazil, being collected again only three times in surrounding areas. Although this species seems to be rare and endemic to a narrow area, it has never been listed on any threatened... -

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
