New combinations in and typification of tropical African species of Urochloa (incl. Brachiaria) (Poaceae).
Detailed morphological and molecular research has led to the conclusion that the majority of the species of the genus have to move to the much smaller genus . Although many of the necessary new combinations were made, in Africa a fair number of accepted species still do not yet have...Oulo, M. ; van der Zon, A.P.M. ; Sosef, M. S. M.

A Taxonomic Revision of Styppeiochloa (Arundinoideae: Poaceae) in Madagascar.
The grass genus Styppeiochloa De Winter (Arundinoideae: Poaceae) as it occurs in Madagascar is reviewed, two new species are described, and two subspecific taxa are elevated to species status. These new species, as well as the additional collections made since the latest treatment of the genus for Madagascar in 1954,... -

Evolutionary history of the grass gynoecium.
The grass family (Poaceae) includes cereal crops that provide a key food source for the human population. The food industry uses the starch deposited in the cereal grain, which develops directly from the gynoecium. Morphological interpretation of the grass gynoecium remains controversial. We re-examine earlier hypotheses and studies of morphology... -

An Annotated Checklist to Vascular Flora of the Ica Region, Peru—with notes on endemic species, habitat, climate and agrobiodiversity.
The ephemeral and fragmented nature of plant communities in the desert region of Ica, Peru have contributed to the poor documentation of its flora. This study provides the first comprehensive checklist and analysis of the vascular plants and habitats of the region, based on over 1800 herbarium collections, site-specific vegetation...Hyperaridity, Tillandsia, Agrobiodiversity, Cacti, El Niño, Desert flora, Dry forest, Fog ecosystem, Monocots, Grasses, Habitat restoration, and Huarango

Madagascar Grass Atlas
Madagascar has a unique heritage in terms of biodiversity. Its separation from Africa set the backdrop for the unique evolution of its flora and fauna. Its isolated island nature gave rise to high endemism and explosive speciation. Of its estimated 12,000 vascular plant species, 83% are unique to Madagascar (Madagascar... -
