Abstract The Checklist of the Vascular Plants Republic Guinea (CVPRG) is a specimen-based, expert-validated knowledge product, which provides concise synthesis and overview current on 3901 vascular plant species documented from (Conakry), West Africa, including their accepted names synonyms, as well distribution status within (indigenous or introduced, endemic not). CVPRG generated automatically Collections Database Names Backbone Database, both developed maintained at Royal Botanic Gardens,...
Ventilagineae (Rhamnaceae) is a tribe of palaeotropical climbing plants, comprising two genera: Smythea and Ventilago . Previous studies have established the monophyly tribe, but relationships within it remain unclear. This research includes six species seven in molecular phylogeny using Angiosperms353 probe set. The results show that paraphyletic, with nested it. To resolve this issue, we propose to merge into achieve this, make new combinations as well resurrecting five names previously...
Three new species of Ventilago from Malesia are described and illustrated here: V. crenata New Guinea, ferruginea Borneo, Singapore Sumatra flavovirens Borneo. The morphology dichotoma, is compared, a key to the Borneo presented. An IUCN conservation status assessment given for each species.
Summary The climbing genus Gouania (Rhamnaceae) is revised in western Malesia. Five species are recognised for the Philippines and Sundaland using morphological evidence, including a new from Philippines: longipedunculata . A taxonomic treatment, preliminary IUCN conservation status assessment, presented each species.
A synoptic revision of the genus Smythea Seem. (Rhamnaceae) based on morphological evidence is presented. total 11 species are recognised; five new described: batanensis, S. beccarii, hirtella, poilanei and poomae, six synonyms established a combination made: oblongifolia. Several distribution records reported, including macrocarpa for Borneo Sumatra oblongifolia India. Generic delimitation between closely related Ventilago clarified, useful characters to identify genera discussed...
Summary The genus Ziziphus (Rhamnaceae) is revised for Borneo. 13 species are recognised using morphological evidence, including three new endemic species: cuspidata , Z. domatiata and puberula . Borneo therefore the island with greatest known diversity of species. area surrounding Mount Kinabalu particularly diverse, nine occurring in Ranau. Two varieties borneensis also described here, var. ranggam velutina five synonyms established, placement elmeri as a synonym Colubrina beccariana A...
The climbing genus Ventilago Gaertn. (Rhamnaceae) is revised in New Caledonia and Vanuatu. description of V. pseudcalyculata Guillaumin was based on four gatherings (syntypes). name lectotypified with a specimen from Lifou, the species now considered to be restricted Loyalty Islands, while specimens Grande Terre (the main island Caledonia) are treated as new species, tinctoria Cahen, Toussirot & Pillon. A total endemic therefore recognized Caledonia: buxoides Baill., neocaledonica Schltr....
Summary We describe and illustrate Tragia grandistipularis (Euphorbiaceae), a new species from the Southern Region of Malawi, which is easily distinguished by its large stipules. amend key to genus in Flora Zambesiaca accommodate species. The only known single population threatened habitat. Based on limited distribution threats this habitat, we provisionally assess it as Critically Endangered (CR) with criteria B2ab(i,ii,iii,v) following IUCN Red List categories guidelines. recommend further...
A new species of the genus Smythea is described and illustrated from Papua New Guinea. This taxon, papuana, morphologically similar to S. oblongifolia, a widespread in Malesia reaching Lesser Sunda Islands Maluku Islands. It first inland Guinea be – only other known occur on island widely distributed coastal lanceata. An amendment key provided.
