Bulbostylis albidostricta (Abildgaardieae, Cyperaceae): a new sedge species from Angola.
Bulbostylis albidostricta Veltjen & Goetgh. is presented as new species of Bulbostylis (Cyperaceae) from Angola. It is a small, elegant sedge species characterised by a slender creeping rhizome, a single terminal spikelet, glumes with a translucent margin and white velate nutlets. The species is described and illustrated, and differences with...Veltjen, Emily ; Browning, Jane ; Goetghebeur, Paul ; Larridon, Isabel

Studies in Schoenoplectiella (Cyperaceae) in tropical West Africa.
Schoenoplectiella patentiglumis, a species described from Natal (South Africa) and previously known from Mozambique and Zimbabwe only, is reported for the first time from tropical West Africa (Benin, Burkina Faso and Nigeria) where it has been confused with S. articulata. Schoenoplectiella raynaliana, a rare species only known from the type...Scirpus, Tropical Africa, Schoenoplectus muricinux, Cyperaceae, Taxonomy, Monocots, and Schoenoplectus

New combinations and a new name for including Nemum species in Bulbostylis (Abildgaardieae: Cyperaceae)
A recent study included the genus Nemum into Bulbostylis. The combinations made for Nemum spadiceum and Nemum megastachyum resulted in illegitimate names. Here, the epithet of the homotypic name Scirpus briziformis is used to make nomenclaturally correct combinations for both subspecies of Nemum spadiceum in Bulbostylis. Furthermore, Bulbostylis brunneoacuminata, nomen...Larridon, Isabel ; Goetghebeur, Paul ; Roalson, Eric

A revision of Scleria (Cyperaceae) in Madagascar
A taxonomic revision of the genus Scleria (Cyperoideae, Cyperaceae) in Madagascar is presented. Herbarium specimens have been examined and 422 identified to species level. Our results recognise 25 species of Scleria from Madagascar, plus an additional heterotypic variety. Eight species are endemic to Madagascar, two are near endemic, eight taxa...Galán Díaz, J. ; Bauters, K. ; Rabarivola, L. ; Xanthos, Martin ; Goetghebeur, P. …

What drives diversification in a pantropical plant lineage with extraordinary capacity for long‐distance dispersal and colonization?
Aim Colonization of new areas may entail shifts in diversification rates linked to biogeographical movement (dispersification), which may involve niche evolution if species were not exapted to new environments. Scleria (Cyperaceae) includes c. 250 species and has a pantropical distribution suggesting an extraordinary capacity for long‐distance dispersal and colonization. We...Larridon, Isabel ; Galán Díaz, Javier ; Bauters, Kenneth ; Escudero, Marcial

A new classification of Carex (Cyperaceae) subgenera supported by a HybSeq backbone phylogenetic tree
The field of systematics is experiencing a new molecular revolution driven by the increased availability of high-throughput sequencing technologies. As these techniques become more affordable, the increased genomic resources have increasingly far-reaching implications for our understanding of the Tree of Life. With c. 2000 species, Carex (Cyperaceae) is one of...Villaverde, Tamara ; Jiménez-Mejías, Pedro ; Luceño, Modesto ; Waterway, Marcia J ; Kim, Sangtae …

Tackling Rapid Radiations With Targeted Sequencing
In phylogenetic studies across angiosperms, at various taxonomic levels, polytomies have persisted despite efforts to resolve them by increasing sampling of taxa and loci. The large amount of genomic data now available and statistical tools to analyze them provide unprecedented power for phylogenetic inference. Targeted sequencing has emerged as a...
