Myrteae (c. 2500 species; 51 genera) is the largest tribe of Myrtaceae and an ecologically important groups angiosperms in Neotropics. Systematic relationships are complex, hindering conservation initiatives jeopardizing evolutionary modelling. A well-supported robust phylogenetic hypothesis was here targeted towards a comprehensive understanding within tribe. The resultant topology used as base for key analyses such age estimation, historical biogeography diversification rate patterns. One...
A new classification of the large Neotropical genus Myrcia s.l. is proposed. Nine sections are presented that correspond to recently published clades. Of these nine sections, sects. Myrcia, Aulomyrcia and Sympodiomyrcia already published, Reticulosae Tomentosae sect. Eugeniopsis a combination whilst Aguava, Calyptranthes Gomidesia combinations at rank (comb. & stat. nov.). Six lectotypifications made for or genera. Estimates species per section listed.
Changes in phenological events have been vastly documented face of recent global climate change. These studies are concentrated on temperate plants, and the responses tropical species still little understood, likely due to lack long-term records tropics. In this case, use herbarium specimens gather data over long periods wide geographic areas has emerged as a powerful tool. Here, we used four Melastomataceae endemic Brazilian Atlantic Forest evaluate patterns alterations changes....
Widely circumscribed taxa are good candidates for in-depth taxonomic studies. The current taxonomy of Oxalis sect. Polymorphae includes 13 species mostly endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, in eastern Brazil. polymorpha Mart. ex Zucc., type-species section, exhibits a wide morphological variability and at least four recognized morphotypes. We propose segregation six from this widely O. by combining molecular systematic data nuclear plastid genomes. Thus, decipiens Progel, previously...
An annotated conspectus of 124 species is presented for Myrcia DC. sect. Aulomyrcia (O. Berg) Griseb. This list published use as a basis future revisionary work and presents the this evolutionary group together first time. Publication type information, habitat distribution, preliminary conservation assessments, diagnostic notes are provided each species. In transferring Calyptranthes Sw. Marlierea Cambess. to Myrcia, 28 new combinations made: areolata (McVaugh) E. Lucas & C. Wilson [≡...
Increasingly complete phylogenies underpin studies in systematics, ecology, and evolution. Myrteae (Myrtaceae), with ~2700 species, is a key component of the exceptionally diverse Neotropical flora, but given its complicated taxonomy, automated assembling molecular supermatrices from public databases often lead to unreliable topologies due poor species identification.
Resumo O gênero Campomanesia Ruiz & Pav. pode ser reconhecido pelo ovário 4-18-locular, com vários óvulos por lóculo, e parede locular glandular nos frutos maduros, que serve como um falso envoltório das sementes. Normalmente todos ou menos óvulo abortam em cada lóculo. Apresenta pedúnculos unifloros, dicásios racemos, os botões têm cálice desde aberto até completamente fechado. No estado do Paraná, o apresenta 11 espécies (C. adamantium, C. aurea, eugenioides, guaviroba, guazumifolia,...
Abstract— Oxalis sect. Holophyllum (Oxalidaceae) is a small group of species that endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest in states Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, and Bahia. Species section can be recognized by their unifoliolate leaves, one-seeded carpels, common presence dorsiventrally flattened (and sometimes winged) peduncles and/or petioles. Circumscriptions currently accepted needed revaluated, as overlap several features have blurred limits among morphologically...
The Parque Estadual do Forno Grande is a fully protected area in the southern Espírito Santo State, Brazil. It belongs to Atlantic Forest domain, with predominantly dense, ombrophilous, seasonal semi-deciduous forests and herbaceous/shrubby vegetation on rock outcrops. recognised as highly important for conservation, designated priority biological protecting Forest's biodiversity. Although importance of Protected Areas conserving biodiversity unquestionable, it crucial understand floristic...
RESUMO Myrtaceae está entre as famílias mais importantes na maioria das formações vegetacionais do Brasil. O presente estudo teve por objetivo o tratamento taxonômico espécies de ocorrentes Ilha Mel, unidade conservação litoral Estado Paraná constituída Floresta Ombrófila Densa, restinga e manguezal. Dez gêneros 33 estão presentes sendo Myrcia (13 spp.) rico, seguido Eugenia (oito spp.), Calyptranthes (três Psidium, Syzygium (duas spp. cada), Blepharocalyx, Campomanesia, Marlierea,...
Abstract Oxalis subg. Thamnoxys is a mostly South American group of encompassing almost 80 species from tropical habitats that are currently separated into nine sections based on morphology and geographic distributions. In this study, we investigated whether its monophyletic. DNA sequences the nrITS, trnL-trnL-trnF, petA-psbJ 92 specimens (55 O. Thamnoxys, 37 Oxalis, five outgroup taxa) were used to investigate phylogenetic relationships among sections. Nuclear plastid molecular markers...
A new species of Miconia from Brazilian Cerrado vegetation is described and illustrated. astrocalyx belongs to the “Miconia albicans clade”, which part section subsection Seriatiflorae. This can be distinguished in this by stellate yellowish indumentum on branches abaxial leaf surface, large calyx lobes persistent fruit, petal margins with glandular-stipitate trichomes, connective appendages ventrally slightly bilobed a very small dorsal inconspicuous tooth. Additionally, we provide comments...
Leaf morphoanatomy can provide useful information for the taxonomy of morphologically similar species or recognition infraspecific taxa. Here, we evaluated taxonomic utility leaf morphological and anatomical characters distinct morphologies currently placed under Oxalis polymorpha Mart. ex Zucc., a highly polymorphic from Brazilian Atlantic Forest. We analyzed leaves 13 specimens gathered five populations throughout species' geographic distribution. samples were light scanning electron...
Myrtaceae is one of the largest families in number species within order Myrtales and richest Brazil. Myrcia fourth genus Myrtaceae, with approximately 770 distributed from Central America Caribbean to southern South America. In Brazil represented by 397 species, which 309 are endemic. this study, we present taxonomic treatment for all that occur Paraná state, Analyses herbarium specimens, online databases, bibliography were performed. Fifty-three Paraná, vegetation types. Twenty-three names...
The Atlantic Forest is one of the most threatened biomes in world. Despite that, this biome still includes many areas that are poorly known floristically, including several protected areas, such as "Floresta Nacional do Rio Preto" ("Flona Preto"), located Brazilian State Espírito Santo. This study used a published vascular plant species list for area from "Catálogo de Plantas das Unidades Conservação Brasil" basis to synthesise richness, endemism, conservation and new occurrences found...
