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

The botany and macroscopy of Chinese materia medica: sources, substitutes and sustainability.
Interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is global. The burgeoning international trade in its crude and processed plant ingredients (Chinese materia medica - CMM) reflects demand across all sectors of healthcare, yet the identification of source plants and CMM has been overlooked for many years leading to problems in safety,...Leon, Christine

Taxonomy and systematics of Urophyllum (Rubiaceae) in Thailand and Indochina.
The genus Urophyllum Wall. is a taxonomically problematic genus of Rubiaceae in Thailand due to the lack of a recent taxonomic revision and identification key to the species. This has led to confusion in the identification of species and no conservation status assessments for the genus. The aim of this...Yooprasert, Sawita

A new classification for Lipocarpha and Volkiella as infrageneric taxa of Cyperus s.l. (Cypereae, Cyperoideae, Cyperaceae): insights from species tree reconstruction supplemented with morphological and floral developmental data.
Recent molecular phylogenetic analyses showed that Lipocarpha and Volkiella are nested in a paraphyletic Cyperus s.s. and therefore should be viewed as part of a broadly circumscribed genus Cyperus (Cyperaceae). In this paper, molecular phylogenetic analyses of Lipocarpha and Volkiella based on nuclear ribosomal ETS1f and plastid rpl32-trnL and trnH-psbA...Bauters, Kenneth ; Larridon, Isabel ; Reynders, Marc ; Asselman, Pieter ; Vrijdaghs, Alexander …

Another New Thai Argyreia Species (Convolvulaceae).
A new species of Argyreia (Convolvulaceae) from Thailand is described and illustrated: A. albiflora. The morphological distinctions of this new species and its relationships with allied species are discussed. Micromorphological evidence is presented using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and light microscopy (LM) demonstrating that microscopic features of the upper leaf...Staples, George W. ; Traiperm, Paweena ; Chow, Janeny

A morphological analysis of Syzygium, with a focus on fibre bundles and description of a new subgenus.
Syzygium is a large genus (1200–1500 species) of Old World tropical trees, currently divided into five subgenera containing widely different numbers of species. Syzygium subgenus Perikion was defined by the presence of fibre bundles in the hypanthium wall, although until now this feature has not been investigated or images published....Hatt, Sebastian ; Low, Yee Wen ; Burslem, David F R P ; Middleton, David J. ; Biffin, E.

Cryptic Species : morphological stasis, circumscription, and hidden diversity.
Cryptic species are organisms which look identical, but which represent distinct evolutionary lineages. They are an emerging trend in organismal biology across all groups, from flatworms, insects, amphibians, primates, to vascular plants. This book critically evaluates the phenomenon of cryptic species and demonstrates how they can play a valuable role...Cambridge University Press

Reproductive Biology, Morphological Taxonomy, Biogeography and Molecular Phylogeny of Aglaia Lour. (Meliaceae).
The molecular revolution has given us new opportunities to explore species relationships, evolution and historical biogeography. It is at its most powerful when combined with studies of the living plants in the field and information gleaned from the many thousands of herbarium specimens that go into preparing comprehensive taxonomic revisions.For...Aglaia, Reproductive biology, Biogeography, Plant morphology, Molecular phylogeny, and Taxonomy

Molecular and Morphological Analysis Supports the Separation of Robrichia as a Genus Distinct from Enterolobium (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae: Mimosoid Clade).
As currently circumscribed, the legume genus comprises 11 species in two sections: sect. and sect. , with an overall distribution from Mexico to Argentina and a centre of diversity in Amazonia. In the absence of the characteristic indehiscent fruits, is difficult to distinguish from other genera in the ingoid clade,...Rodrigues de Souza, Élvia ; Ranielly Monteiro Luz, Anne ; Rocha, Lamarck ; Lewis, Gwilym P.
