Premise of research. The genus Mucuna has a pantropical distribution and comprises approximately 105 species, many which show great economic value for forage, ornament, medicine. To date, phylogenetic relationships within have not been investigated using molecular data. aim this study was to build framework address questions about its monophyly, infrageneric relationships, divergence times, biogeography.Methodology. We sequenced plastid (trnL-F) nuclear ribosomal (internal transcribed...
This is the second part of a world-wide revision genus Boehmeria, previously-published having dealt with New World species. The Old species are widely distributed in tropics and subtropics from West Africa to islands Pacific Ocean Japan China Southern Africa, Madagascar Australia, highest richness Himalayas their extension into Indochina. No indigenous common both World. represent taxonomic units very different complexity: most exhibit little infraspecific variation; several others formal...
The Old World species of the genus Pouzolzia have been revised and 24 13 infraspecific taxa recognised. Worldwide, now totals 36 17 taxa. sect. Memorialis Bennett & Brown (including genera Gonostegia Turcz. Hyrtanandra Miq.) is maintained here as a section Pouzolzia. characters used to separate from Boehmeria are found work worldwide. In World, ranges, west east, Senegal Japan Solomon Islands, and, north south, China, Himalayas Yemen South Africa, Madagascar, Australia Lord Howe, Norfolk...
AbstractAbstractRegeneration from detached leaves at 20°C in 12 h days was studied six species. Of the four species of Polytrichum and two Pogonatum studied, only aloides did not regenerate leaves. This result could be related to fact that nature this possesses persistent primary protonemata. commune, P. formosum juniperinum developed long, muchbranched secondary protonemata which produced buds intervals. urnigerum without an initial protonema, piliferum short, unbranched protonemal threads,...
The paper supplements a taxonomic revision of the New World species Pouzolzia by Wilmot‐Dear and Friis in 1996 supplement 2011 with an additional new species. Here another Pouzolzia, P. saxophila Friis, & A. K. Monro, is described from restricted area xerophytic scrub vegetation on rocky outcrops Boa Nova National Park, Bahia, Brazil. somewhat similar to pringlei , Mexican endemic, amambaiensis Brazil–Paraguay border, but also widespread Asiatic zeylanica . However, similarities these...
The paper supplements a revision of the New World species Boehmeria and Pouzozia published by authors in 1996. Pouzolzia amambaiensis sp. nov. is described from recent material Paraguay near border with Brazil represents new generic record for Paraguay. Also recorded number extensions geographical ranges range variation guatemalana , P. occidentalis laevis zeylanica burgeriana B. bullata subsp. coriacea .

Pouzolzia rugulosa (Wedd.) Acharya & Kravtsova, comb. nov., is transferred from the genus Boehmeria on grounds of anatomy and morphology fruit, correlated with molecular data. A revised set anatomical morphological characters provided to distinguish between Pouzolzia. shares similarities a group serrate-leaved taxa in that known Asia Oceania.

Four new species of Boehmeria (Urticaceae) are described and named: listeri Friis & Wilmot-Dear B. manipurensis from the eastern part Himalayas, leptostachya southern China (Yunnan), Thailand northern Sumatra, subintegra Papua New Guinea. The illustrated mapped their habitat ranges described, conservation assessments have been produced for all.
Urticaceae comprises five tribes.Most specimens can be identified to tribe, many genus, by the nonspecialist.Keys are provided tribes and genera within each based on more easily observable diagnostic characters.Additional notes genus also given.
Summary Fruit morphology and the anatomical structure of pericarp, fruiting perianth, seed coat were studied in 15 species Poikilospermum, a genus whose position within Urticaceae has long been controversial. Possible evolutionary trends their transformation are suggested for both subgenera; plesiomorphies found P. oblongifolium scabrinervium . Structural peculiarities fruit connected with its ejection out tubular perianth discussed. The archaism Poikilospermum is revealed, indicated, as...
This nomenclatural note, a sequel to recently published taxonomic revision of the Old World species genus Boehmeria (Urticaceae), establishes: 1) holotype B. maugereti, synonym taxon no. 8b in (B. clidemioides var. diffusa); 2) zollingeriana Wedd. blinii (H.Lev.) C.J.Chen Chen et al. (2003) as correct name for variety named podocarpa (2003); 3) that combination spicata, based on Urtica is not illegitimate, stated synonymy japonica and an attached note; 4) corrected splitgerbera designation...
