Abstract The classification of the legume family proposed here addresses long‐known non‐monophyly traditionally recognised subfamily Caesalpinioideae, by recognising six robustly supported monophyletic subfamilies. This new uses as its framework most comprehensive phylogenetic analyses legumes to date, based on plastid matK gene sequences, and including near‐complete sampling genera (698 currently 765 genera) ca. 20% (3696) known species. region has been widely sequenced across legumes, in...
Ecological communities including tropical rainforest are rapidly changing under various disturbances caused by increasing human activities. Recently in Cambodia, illegal logging and clear-felling for agriculture have been increasing. Here, we study the effects of logging, mortality recruitment plot trees on phylogenetic community structure 32 plots Kampong Thom, Cambodia. Each was 0.25 ha; 28 were established primary evergreen forests four secondary dry deciduous forests. Measurements made...
The taxonomy of Quercus langbianensis and its relatives in Vietnam Cambodia have been revised based on evidence obtained from field observations, morphological comparison herbarium specimens molecular analyses using both classic next generation DNA markers. Based Bayesian inference rbcL, matK ITS regions Neighbour-joining tree genome-wide sequences amplified with multiplexed inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers (MIG-seq), the authors recognised ten species complex Cambodia, three...
Climate warming is causing shifts in key life-history events, including flowering time. To assess the impacts of increasing temperature on phenology, it crucial to understand transcriptional changes genes underlying phenological shifts. Here, we conducted a comprehensive investigation contributing phenology response by monitoring seasonal expression dynamics 293 flowering-time along latitudinal gradients perennial herb, Arabidopsis halleri. Through transplant experiments at northern,...
A new species, Popowia bachmaensis Ngoc, Tagane & Yahara, sp. nov. is described from Bach Ma National Park in Thua Thien Hue Province, Central Vietnam. This species morphologically similar to pisocarpa (Blume) Endl. ex Walp., but can be readily distinguished it by its lower stems, smaller leaves, shorter flowering pedicels, carpels, longer sepals and inner petals. detailed description, comprising illustrations, supplemented with DNA barcodes of the two regions rbcL matK, are provided.
Macrosolen bidoupensis Tagane & V.S.Dang, sp. nov. (Loranthaceae) is newly described from Bidoup Nui Ba National Park in Lam Dong Province, southern Vietnam. The new species characterized by small broadly elliptic to circular leaves, sessile short petioles, slightly cordate rounded leaf bases, 4-5 pairs of lateral veins and a basally green corolla tube. An illustration, summary DNA barcoding the plastid genes rbcL matK, key Vietnam are provided.
Lasianthus giganteus Naiki (Rubiaceae), first found in Cambodia, was recently discovered central Vietnam and southern Thailand. We describe the floral morphology of this species for time.
A new species, Lasianthus bidoupensis V.S. Dang & Naiki (Rubiaceae) is described and illustrated from Bidoup Nui Ba National Park, Lam Dong Province, southern Vietnam. It resembles L. yaharae which was recently discovered Mt. Hon dalatensis endemic to Dalat, However, differs them by having larger leaves bracts, longer petioles, stipules, calyx corolla tubes, deep-red mature fruits.
Abstract Water pollution is one of the most serious aquatic environmental problems worldwide. In China, recent agricultural and industrial development has resulted in rapid changes ecosystems. Here, we reveal effects water on phylogenetic community structure macrophytes Tiaoxi River, China. We placed a rectangular plot at 47 sites within River from mouth river to 88.5 km upstream, which recorded species abundance measured 22 physico‐chemical variables. Bayesian phylogeny using rbcL matK gene...
A new species, Goniothalamusflagellistylus Tagane & V. S. Dang, sp. nov. from Hon Ba Nature Reserve in Khanh Hoa Province, South Vietnam is described and illustrated. This species most similar to Goniothalamustortilipetalus M.R.Hend., but distinct having 308-336 stamens (vs. ca. 170-260) ca.120 carpels 50-100) per flower, Stigma pseudostyles ca.8.5 mm 4-4.5 mm) long.
Lasianthus yaharae V.S. Dang, Tagane & H. Tran (Rubiaceae) is described and illustrated here based on material discovered in the Hon Ba Nature Reserve, southern Vietnam. It most similar to L. dalatensis but differs having fewer secondary veins leaves, a larger calyx flowers (corolla tube corolla lobes), different flower color at anthesis.
Homalium glandulosum Tagane & V. H. Nguyen, from Vu Quang National Park in northern Vietnam, is newly described. This species characterized by distinct glands, often stalked, at the base of lamina and along margin stipules bracteoles. Illustrations, DNA barcodes two regions rbcL matK, a key to Vietnam are also provided.
Lasianthus honbaensis V.S. Dang, Tagane & H. Toyama sp. nova (Rubiaceae) is described and illustrated from Hon Ba Nature Reserve, Khanh Hoa Province, southern Vietnam. It resembles L. inodorus subsp. pubescens in leaf morphology, but differs them having shorter stipules, calyx tubes corolla, orange fruits. also similar to latifolius calycinus deeply disected lobes fruits, by persistent bracts tubes. A table comparing the new species with its closest allies provided.
Lithocarpus vuquangensis Ngoc & Hung is described from Vu Quang National Park, North Central Vietnam. The morphological comparison and phylogenetic analysis based on rbcL, matK ITS provided evidence that the new species was not assignable to any of previously known taxa in Vietnam its surrounding countries. description, photographs, preliminary conservation status DNA barcode sequences are also for species.
Five new species of Syzygium (Myrtaceae), S. honbaense, phamhoangii and yersinii from Khanh Hoa Province, Vietnam, phoukhaokhouayense Phou Khao Khouay National Protected Area, Vientiane Laos, scabrum Bung Khla, Phu Wua Wildlife Sanctuary, Buengkan Thailand, are described illustrated. Photographs, vernacular names preliminary conservation assessments provided for them.
Twenty four species of Lasianthus are documented from Bokor National Park, Kampot Province, Cambodia. Four new species, bokorensis, L. giganteus, oblanceolatus, and stephanocalycinus,
A new species, Garcinia hopii H.Toyama & V.S.Dang is described from Bidoup Nui Ba National Park, southern Vietnam. This species similar to hendersoniana Whitmore but differs that in having larger leaves, clustered pistillate flowers, a greater number of sterile anthers and stigma young fruits. description, preliminary conservation assessment, illustration, photographs DNA barcodes the are provided, as well an updated key sect. Hebradendron Indochina.
Herein, Mussaenda recurvata, a new species from Hon Ba Nature Reserve, southern Vietnam, is described and illustrated. This morphologically similar to M. longipetala, distributed China northern in having recurved stipules densely pilose puberulent hairs throughout, but differs its strongly calyx lobes, shorter corolla tube, ovate lobes. The heterostylous it appears be functionally dioecious. An updated key Laos, Cambodia also provided.
