Abstract Aim Alpine ecosystems differ in area, macroenvironment and biogeographical history across the Earth, but relationship between these factors plant species richness is still unexplored. Here, we assess global patterns of alpine their association with environmental, geographical historical at regional community scales. Location Global. Time period Data collected 1923 2019. Major taxa studied Vascular plants. Methods We used a dataset representative vegetation, consisting 8,928 plots...
As part of the botanical and phytosociological characterisation Moqueguan flora, several Caryophyllaceae were studied. A specimen that was collected from Ubinas district is named Paronychia ubinensis (Caryophyllaceae: Paronychioideae) described as a new species. This species compared with its closest relatives P. andina, mandoniana, muschleri, peruviana weberbaueri Southern Peru.

Two high Andean taxa from South Peru, Viola ornata and longibracteolata, are described illustrated. During a series of ecotourism botanical expeditions in the Moquegua Arequipa regions, four populations V. one population longibracteolata were discovered. Both species compared with morphologically similar subg. Neoandinium. Their resemblances differences discussed, including by means key. We have determined potential IUCN status both new as Critically Endangered (CR).
As part of botanical expeditions in the Amazonas region North Peru, we found plants from Central Andes (North Peru). Based on morphology and molecular data, Peruvian population was described illustrated here as a new species for Science, named Paronychia sanchez-vegae. The is compared with its most likely closest relative, P. andina which differs by larger size, woody ramified stems, glabrous leaf surface, shorter flowers size ovary.
A new species from the Northern Peruvian Andes (Cajamarca department), Drymaria veliziaesp. nov., is proposed in present paper. It grows high-elevation montane grasslands and it morphologically similar to D. auriculipetala which differs having elliptic-ovate leaves, blade margin bases glandular, large number of stipules arranged a pedicel form at leaf axis by short glandular pedicels. detailed description, original photographs location map are provided, as well an updated diagnostic key Ser....
During studies on the flora of Moquegua (Southern Peru), some interesting Arenaria populations (subgen. Dicranilla, Caryophyllaceae) were found. The morphology plants does not resemble any other neotropical species. most similar species known so far is boliviana (from Bolivia and Peru) from which it differs in having a shorter stem length, ciliate (not glabrous) short branches; ovate rather than oblong-lanceolate leaves always covered with dense, long trichomes, never glabrous; pedicels or...
