Based on molecular studies, the small Chinese genus Petrocodon (two species and one variety) has been recently enlarged to include monotypic genera Calcareoboea, Paralagarosolen Tengia. It is shown here that (6-7) of Lagarosolen, Dolicholoma, a few Didymocarpus, number new have published (but not formally described) under Lagarosolen should be included in this genus. This raises size from five around 20 species. With respect floral diversity (corolla form, size, coloration; with exception...
Background and aims – As currently circumscribed, Diospyros ferrea represents one of the most geographically widespread species in genus had previously been described as an ochlospecies because its particularly challenging morphological complexity. Recent studies have shown that it likely contains multiple differ from populations SW India Sri Lanka corresponding to type, which was collected on Malabar coast India. Here we present second a series papers aim revise taxonomy D. , treating...
The widespread and variable taxon currently recognized as Diospyros ferrea (Willd.) Bakh. is said to extend from West Africa through tropical Asia northern Melanesia, but comparison of material Madagascar with collections the region where type was collected (Southwest India) clearly shows that they represent different species. Examination continental other parts range D. s.l. further confirms Malagasy populations constitute a distinct entity endemic this island nation, prompting us establish...
Abstract The Loxocarpinae, also known as the “ Boea group”, are subtribe of Gesneriaceae which includes and a number segregated genera close relatives. This group currently comprises over 200 species in 15 genera. Here we present most up‐to‐date phylogeny, covering all to belong group, based on Bayesian inference parsimony nuclear ITS plastid regions trnL‐trnF (intron spacer) ndhF‐trnL UAG (spacers). results show discrepancies between current generic delimitation clades delineated by...
Abstract The phylogenetic relationships between Paraboea, Trisepalum and Phylloboea , in the twisted–fruited clade of advanced Asiatic Malesian Gesneriaceae, were investigated using nuclear chloroplast data. Maximum parsimony Bayesian inference analyses demonstrated unambiguously that three genera originated from a single common ancestor, is nested deeply turn Paraboea . As has been conserved against necessary new combinations are made here. enlarged genus comprises around 120 species....
Societal Impact Statement We found evidence that larger fruited plant species are more likely to be in aseasonal wet areas of Malesia. These impacted by increasing human encroachment, which threatens both large‐fruited and the large fauna most responsible for their dispersal. This synergistic threat could drive loss fruit‐crop relatives potentially have key traits resilient fruit crops future. Summary It is unclear how size determines distributions megadiverse tropical flora. Energetic...
Macro- and micro-morphological characters, molecular nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer chloroplast trnL-F intron-spacer data confirmed the hybrid status of Oreocharis × heterandra. Cytological studies showed that parental species possess 2n=34 chromosomes, suggesting chromosome translocations, not dysploid or ploidy level changes, are cause high sterility. Recurrent reciprocal hybridisation between its O. argyreia magnidens in an area secondary contact is apparently responsible...
Tropical forests occupy small coral atolls to the vast Amazon basin. They occur across bioregions with different geological and climatic history. Differences in area bioregional history shape species immigration, extinction diversification. How this effects local diversity is unclear. The Indonesian archipelago hosts thousands of tree whose coexistence should depend upon these factors. Using a novel dataset 215 forest plots, fifteen islands ranging from 120 785 000 km 2 , we apply Gaussian...
Diospyros L. is a large genus of flowering plants predominantly distributed in the tropics. It comprises over 700 species globally and around 300 are believed to occur South-East Asia. Many economically important exploited for production ebony wood persimmons, yet taxonomic information on incomplete inconsistent due its morphological nomenclatural complexity. Revisions continental insular Asia were conducted independently by different authors, occasionally with names used same species, or...
Five new species of Henckelia are described, two from Myanmar: campanuliflora and H. candida, the others Thailand: amplexifolia, nakianensis dasycalyx. A key to 1 2-leaved genus is given, as well photographs, ecology, also IUCN conservation status for species.

Microchirita (C.B. Clarke) YiN Z. Wang (Gesneriaceae: Dicymocarpoideae) in Thailand is revised and 29 species are recognised, two of which have three varieties each. Eight new described, M
Rachunia , a new genus of Gesneriaceae from Thailand, is described with single species, cymbiformis . Its relationship to the rest subtribe Didymocarpinae investigated through phylogenetic study based on Bayesian Inference and Parsimony analyses nuclear ITS plastid trn L‐ F (intron‐spacer) sequences. Morphologically, differs related genera Codonoboea in large boat‐shaped bracts orthocarpic vs plagiocarpic fruit; Microchirita bracts, wiry fleshy stem, campanulate tubular corolla clavate...

A new species of Paraboea, P. fimbriata C.Puglisi & Phutthai, from Sai Yok District, Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand, is described.
The genus Middletonia in Thailand is revised. We recognise four species, including the newly described glebosa C.Puglisi and resurrected M. reticulata (Barnett) C.Puglisi. A key to full descriptions proposed conservation assessments are provided.
