Anarrhinum fruticosum Desf. (Antirrhineae, Plantaginaceae) is a very variable species. Three subspecies are currently recognized: A. subsp. fruticosum, brevifolium (Cosson & Kralik) D.A. Sutton (synonym of Cosson Kralik), and demnatense (Cosson) Maire Cosson). was recently typified by Domina El Mokni (2019), while these other two names discussed lectotypified in the present paper. Lectotypes designated from an illustration published Desfontaines (A. fruticosum), specimen P-Cosson herbarium...

Ophrys apifera Hudson was previously considered to have been lectotypified by Künkele and Baumann in 1998 with an illustration published Matthias Lobel 1581. However, did not include any references the protologue. Therefore, typification is here briefly discussed superseded because being contrary Art. 9.3 of International code nomenclature for algae, fungi, plants (Shenzhen Code). The name Bauhin Cherler 1651. Unfortunately, this does show several diagnostic characters distinguish O. from...

Nomenclature issues in the genus Rubus are discussed. In particular, R. ulmifolius and six related names, creticus, sanctus, parviflorus, vulgaris, non-spinosus, inermis, Further support is provided for suggestions that these seven names used only one species. The sanctus parviflorus homotypic, being illegitimate. A lectotype designated non-spinosus from an image of Barrelier. An epitype selected vulgaris a modern specimen collected Italy preserved at L.

Abstract The typification of the Linnaean name Urena procumbens (Malvaceae) is revisited. This was lectotypified on a specimen in LINN. However, while lectotype original material, it lacks sufficient provenance information to unambiguously be recognized as syntype through citation collector and locality protologue. Therefore, does not compete equally with SBT that belongs gathering cited protologue syntype. current LINN overturned replaced SBT.

Background/Objectives: The archaeobotanical taxon “Triticum parvicoccum” was first described in 1980 as a small-grained, naked, free-threshing, and dense ear tetraploid wheat species (2n = 4x 28) identified from archaeological remains. This primitive tetraploid, cultivated the Levant approximately 9000 years ago subsequently dispersed throughout Fertile Crescent, represents potential contributor of BBAA genomes to T. aestivum. study aims resolve complex nomenclatural status this taxon, which...

Abstract The original material of the Linnaean name Cactus opuntia (currently Opuntia vulgaris , syn. subst./replacement name) represents more than one taxon. was lectotypified in 1981 with illustration “Opuntia vulgo herbariorum” published by Bauhin and Cherler 1650. However, lectotype is demonstrably ambiguous, cannot be applied to a single currently recognized taxon certainty. This had previously led consider application this doubtful, even some propose that O. should treated as nomen...

Recently, discussions arose about the validity of publication two names that were published by Linnaeus: Rubus creticus Linnaeus (1756: 15) and R. maximus ex Loefling (1758: 7) (Rubeae Dumortier (1829: 39), Rosaceae Jussieu (1789: 334)). Because status these effects correct taxa, clarity is due. Nomenclature articles cited throughout text follow International Code for algae, fungi, plants (Turland et al. 2018).

In order to achieve certain targets of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), countries should aim have at least 75% their threatened species preserved in ex situ genetically representative collections, preferably country origin, and 20% must be available recovery plans restoration programs (Target 8). Assessing conservation value collections is needed identify gaps gene banks determine baseline situation. Selection target followed Regional Responsibility criterion, as...

The designation the nomenclatural type based on an assessment Linnaeus's original material. A specimen from Clifford Herbarium at BM designated as lectotype.

We have analysed the salt tolerance of two endemic halophytes genus Limonium, with high conservation value. In present study, seed germination and growth parameters as well different biomarkers-photosynthetic pigments, mono divalent ion contents-associated to stress were evaluated in response levels NaCl. The study was completed an untargeted metabolomics analysis primary compounds including carbohydrates, phosphoric organic acids, amino identified by using a gas chromatography mass...

An illustration from Clusius designated as lectotype. epitype also here order to avoid any ambiguity interpretation lectotype specimen.

Phylogenetic diversity enhances ecosystem functioning but restoration ecology has not taken advantage of this knowledge. We propose plant facilitation as a mechanism to promote phylogenetic in practices. planted three functionally different species ( Gypsophila struthium , Sedum album and Limonium sucronicum ) degraded gypsum Spain found that after 7 years, the with nurse traits G. survived longer facilitated establishment new forming phylogenetically diverse neighborhoods. These...

Seldom found in saltmarshes, Linum maritimum is a halophyte of great conservation interest the eastern Iberian Peninsula. Although species has been reported different plant communities, there no information on its range salinity tolerance or mechanisms response to environmental stress factors. In this study, L. plants were subjected increasing salt concentrations controlled conditions greenhouse. After six months watering with solutions, only from control, 50 mM and 100 NaCl treatment groups...

This study addresses a critical issue in plant taxonomy and phylogeny: the relationship between archaeological materials potentially analogous living populations. Given current limitations definitively establishing identity contemporary materials, we propose an intermediate approach. approach serves as useful framework while scientific methods advance towards assessing whether wheat sample, approximately 5000 years old from Central Europe, belongs to same species modern currently endemic...
