    Mallocybe africana (Inocybaceae, Fungi), the first species of Mallocybe described from Africa2021In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 478, no 1, p. 49-60Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The family Inocybaceae has been poorly studied in Africa. Here we describe the first species of the genus Mallocybe from West African and Zambian woodlands dominated by ectomycorrhizal trees of Fabaceae and Phyllanthaceae. The new species M. africana is characterized by orange-brown fruitbodies, a fibrillose pileus, a stipe tapered towards the base and large ellipsoid basidiospores. It resembles many north and south temperate species of Mallocybe but is most closely related to the southeast Asian tropical species, M. errata. M. africana is widely distributed in West Africa (Benin, Togo, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast) extending to South-eastern Africa in Zambia. Phylogenetic analyses based on 5.8S rDNA, nLSU and RPB2 sequence data confirm that M. africana is nested within Mallocybe. A complete morphological description and illustrations, including photographs and line drawings, are presented.

    New dictyostelid cellular slime molds from South Africa2018In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 383, no 3, p. 233-251Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A distributional study of the dictyostelid cellular slime molds (dictyostelids) of South Africa was carried out during 2006 as part of the Global Biodiversity of Eumycetozoans project based at the University of Arkansas and funded by the National Science Foundation Samples of soil/humus collected from 31 study sites yielded a total of 881 clones, with an average density of 210 clones/gram for all samples in which dictyostelids were detected. Eighteen different species were represented by one or more clones, and six of these could not be identified. These six species are described herein as new to science. In addition, information is provided on the ecological distribution of all of the species of dictyostelids now known to occur in South Africa.

    A new species and a new combination of Rhodophana (Entolomataceae, Agaricales) from Africa2017In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 306, no 3, p. 223-233Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Multiple collections of a new member of the Entolomataceae were found in W National Park of Niger during a survey of macrofungi. This new species with a dark reddish brown scaly pileus surface and a yellow stipe belongs in the genus Rhodophana of the Rhodocybe-Clitopilus clade in the Entolomataceae. Using a three-gene analysis of the phylogenetic position of Rhodophana flavipes it is most closely related to the recently described Rhodophana squamulosa from India and is a sister taxon to Rhodophana nitellina and R. melleopallens. Micromorphological examination of the type of Rhodocybe fibulata, another African species with a scaly cap, confirms that it belongs in Rhodophana, thus a new combination Rhodophana fibulata is proposed.

    Molecular phylogenetic analyses of Cucurbitaceae tribe Benincaseae urge for merging of Pilogyne with Zehneria2015In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 236, no 2, p. 173-183Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The tropical cucurbitaceous genus Zehneria as traditionally circumscribed displays much morphological diversity. Recent taxonomic revisions have resulted in its redefinition through both recognition and subsequent lumping of several additional genera. This study utilized plastid and nuclear DNA sequence data to reconstruct a molecular phylogeny of Zehneria and its close relatives in order to test whether these revisions reflected the molecular evolution in this group. The results suggest that Neoachmandra is monophyletic, and that Zehneria in a restricted sense and Neoachmandra accessions form a single monophyletic clade, whereas Pilogyne in its present understanding is polyphyletic. In the light of these results Pilogyne should be merged back into Zehneria from which it was split off earlier.

    The Bacidia coprodes group (Ramalinaceae, Lecanoromycetes, Ascomycota), with special reference to the species in Europe and North America2014In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 191, no 1, p. 66-80Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper aims to clarify taxonomy and nomenclature of the lichen Bacidia coprodes and its closest relatives in Europe and North America. Bacidia coprodes as treated in recent works was found to consist of three distinct species in Europe and North America, the correct names of which are B. coprodes (s. str.), B. notarisiana, and B. granosa. In addition, a fourth species, B. inornata (Nyl.) Blomb. & Forssell, was found to be closely related to this group of lichens and is also treated here. The four species can be separated by apothecial and pycnidial pigmentation as well as conidium shape and size. They are closely related to species currently treated in Bacidia, Toninia, or Arthrosporum. Six basionyms, viz. Bilimbia coprodes, Patellaria salevensis, Bilimbia subtrachona, Lecidea chytrina, L. chytrina var. hormospora, and L. inornata, are lectotypified. Detailed descriptions and a determination key are provided.

    Lichens from the Utsteinen Nunatak (Sor Rondane Mountains, Antarctica), with the description of one new species and the establishment of permanent plots2014In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 191, no 1, p. 99-114Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In order to establish baseline environmental conditions at the Utsteinen Nunatak (Sor Rondane Mountains, Antarctica) chosen for the installation of the new Belgian Antarctic research station, a detailed survey of the different lichen species was performed in 2007. The establishment of permanent plots will allow the accurate monitoring of possible future impacts of human activities on the biodiversity and, on a long-term scale, to detect future climate changes. A complete survey of the lichen species was made for each of the 23 permanent plots of the Utsteinen Ridge. The abundance of each species within each plot was also evaluated. Exhaustive lists of lichens were also completed for other parts of the Utsteinen Nunatak. Additionally, historic collections from the same area were revised. A total of twenty-three lichen species and two lichenicolous fungi was detected in the recent samples whereas the historic material yielded three additional species. These results raise the total number of known taxa for the Sor Rondane Mountains from ten to 28, despite the small area investigated. Trapelia antarctica is described as new to science. Buellia bastini is synonymized with Buellia nelsonii and Lecidea autenboeri is synonymized with Carbonea vorticosa. The lichen flora of Utsteinen is made of a high percentage (48%) of Antarctic endemics. Lichens were abundantly present on the Utsteinen Ridge. The numbers of species per plot varied from one to 18 with an average of ten. The detailed grid map for the Utsteinen Ridge will be useful in monitoring future changes in lichen population and diversity. Five plots presented the richest lichen flora and need therefore careful protection against any future human activities.

    Paracarphalea, a new genus of the coffee family segregated from the Malagasy endemic genus Carphalea (Rubiaceae, Rubioideae, Knoxieae)2016In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 263, no 2, p. 98-112Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The Malagasy genus Carphalea (Rubiaceae) consists of six species (C. angulata, C. cloiselii, C. kirondron, C. linearifolia, C. madagascariensis, C. pervilleana) of shrubs or small trees and is recognizable by a distinctly lobed calyx, 2(-4)-locular ovaries, each locule with several ovules on a rod-like stalk arising from the base of the locule, and indehiscent fruits. Carphalea linearifolia, rediscovered in 2010, has not previously been included in any Rubiaceae molecular phylogenetic studies. We re-investigated the monophyly of Carphalea using sequence data from chloroplast (rps16 and trnT-F) and nuclear (ITS and ETS) markers analysed with parsimony and Bayesian methods. Carphalea linearifolia forms a clade with C. cloiselii and the type species C. madagascariensis. This clade is sister to a clade consisting of the rest of the Carphalea species plus the genus Triainolepis. According to these results, the new genus Paracarphalea is here described to accommodate Carphalea angulata, C. kirondron, and C. pervilleana. The conservation status of Carphalea linearifolia is assessed as critically endangered according to IUCN criteria.

    Ninety-three new combinations in Euploca for species of Heliotropium section Orthostachys (Boraginaceae sensu APG)2020In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 434, no 1, p. 13-21Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Many new combinations are needed in Euploca, previously regarded as Heliotropium section Orthostachys, to correspond with results of our forthcoming, world-wide, molecular phylogenetic analysis. We also need these names for our many delta C-13 determinations that identify many Euploca species exhibiting C-4 photosynthesis and show that other Euploca species are not C-4. Here we make the many new combinations required to support these results.

    Taxonomy and nomenclature of seven names in Bacidia (Ramalinaceae, Lecanorales) described from Russia2017In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 316, no 3, p. 292-296Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We aim to increase understanding and improve taxonomy of seven names currently treated in Bacidia that were described from Russian territory based on material collected during 19th-century expeditions: Bacidia alborussula, B. freshfieldii, B. graminum, B. indigens, B. primigenia, B. subabbrevians, and B. xylophila. B. alborussula, B. graminum, and B. indigens are transferred here to Haematomma, Lecania, and Bacidina, respectively. Bacidia freshfieldii and B. subabbrevians belong in the Ramalinaceae and are provisionally kept in Bacidia even though none of them is congeneric with the type of that genus. B. primigenia belongs in Arthrorhaphis, but we refrain from making any new combination owing to its questionable status as a species distinct from A. grisea. B. xylophila is a younger synonym of Lecania subfuscula. We designate lectotypes for names previously not typified and for which syntypes exist: Lecidea alborussula, L. graminum, L. indigens, and L. subabbrevians.

    Morphological and phylogenetic relationships of the threatened geophyte Wurmbea novae-zelandiae (Colchicaceae) from New Zealand, with notes on typification2017In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 307, no 2, p. 123-132Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The new combination Wurmbea novae-zelandiae was recently made based on published phylogenetic studies, but little information was provided on its relationships based on morphology. This species was originally described as Anguillaria novae-zelandiae, for which a lectotype is designated. Morphological characters of W. novae-zelandiae are re-evaluated and shown to be characteristic of Wurmbea, thereby supporting the revised generic placement. However, W. novae-zelandiae differs from all other Wurmbea species in its diminutive stature, fewer tepals and stamens, and variable floral morphology, with 1-3 carpels, often leaf-like tepals, and aberrant tepal shape and number. DNA sequence data places W. novae-zelandiae as the sister species of W. uniflora, a species not included in earlier phylogenetic studies. These two species share mostly solitary flowers with white tepals, nectaries two per tepal and similar in form and position, small yellow anthers, and styles that are relatively short and recurve as flowering proceeds, with the inner style surface stigmatic for up to half of its length. A revised generic description of Wurmbea is provided to take account of the recently widened concept.

    New species of Preussia with 8-celled ascospores (Sporormiaceae, Pleosporales, Ascomycota)2015In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 234, no 2, p. 143-150Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The focus of this study is on Preussia sensu lato species with 8-celled ascospores. Two new species, P. alpina and P. octocylindrospora are introduced based on morphological characters and discussed in relation to similar species in the genus. New records are provided from Sporormiella corynespora, S. octomegaspora, P. octomera and P. octonalis. This greatly expands or reduces their geographical distribution ranges, as well as substrate preferences. In addition, a key to the coprophilous species with 8-celled ascospores is provided.

    One hundred new species of lichenized fungi: a signature of undiscovered global diversity2011In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 18, p. 1-127Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The number of undescribed species of lichenized fungi has been estimated at roughly 10,000. Describing and cataloging these would take the existing number of taxonomists several decades; however, the support for taxonomy is in decline worldwide. In this paper we emphasize the dire need for taxonomic expertise in lichenology. We bring together 103 colleagues from institutions worldwide to describe a total of 100 new species of lichenized fungi, representing a wide taxonomic and geographic range. The newly described species are: Acarospora flavisparsa, A. janae, Aderkomyces thailandicus, Amandinea maritima, Ampliotrema cocosense, Anomomorpha lecanorina, A. tuberculata, Aspicilia mansourii, Bacidina sorediata, Badimia multiseptata, B. vezdana, Biatora epirotica, Buellia sulphurica, Bunodophoron pinnatum, Byssoloma spinulosum, Calopadia cinereopruinosa, C. editae, Caloplaca brownlieae, C. decipioides, C. digitaurea, C. magnussoniana, C. mereschkowskiana, C. yorkensis, Calvitimela uniseptata, Chapsa microspora, C. psoromica, C. rubropulveracea, C. thallotrema, Chiodecton pustuliferum, Cladonia mongkolsukii, Clypeopyrenis porinoides, Coccocarpia delicatula, Coenogonium flammeum, Cresponea ancistrosporelloides, Crocynia microphyllina, Dictyonema hernandezii, D. hirsutum, Diorygma microsporum, D. sticticum, Echinoplaca pernambucensis, E. schizidiifera, Eremithallus marusae, Everniastrum constictovexans, Fellhanera borbonica, Fibrillithecis sprucei, Fissurina astroisidiata, F. nigrolabiata, F. subcomparimuralis, Graphis caribica, G. cerradensis, G. itatiaiensis, G. marusa, Gyalideopsis chicaque, Gyrotrema papillatum, Harpidium gavilaniae, Hypogymnia amplexa, Hypotrachyna guatemalensis, H. indica, H. lueckingii, H. paracitrella, H. paraphyscioides, H. parasinuosa, Icmadophila eucalypti, Krogia microphylla, Lecanora mugambii, L. printzenii, L. xanthoplumosella, Lecidea lygommella, Lecidella greenii, Lempholemma corticola, Lepraria sekikaica, Lobariella sipmanii, Megalospora austropacifica, M. galapagoensis, Menegazzia endocrocea, Myriotrema endoflavescens, Ocellularia albobullata, O. vizcayensis, Ochrolechia insularis, Opegrapha viridipruinosa, Pannaria phyllidiata, Parmelia asiatica, Pertusaria conspersa, Phlyctis psoromica, Placopsis imshaugii, Platismatia wheeleri, Porina huainamdungensis, Ramalina hyrcana, R. stoffersii, Relicina colombiana, Rhizocarpon diploschistidina, Sticta venosa, Sagenidiopsis isidiata, Tapellaria albomarginata, Thelotrema fijiense, Tricharia nigriuncinata, Usnea galapagona, U. pallidocarpa, Verrucaria rhizicola, and Xanthomendoza rosmarieae. In addition, three new combinations are proposed: Fibrillithecis dehiscens, Lobariella botryoides, and Lobariella pallida.

    MIDTAL (Microarrays for the Detection of Toxic Algae)2013In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 127, no 1, p. 201-210Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Microalgae in marine and brackish waters of Europe regularly cause harmful effects, considered from the human perspective, in that they cause economic damage to fisheries and tourism. Cyanobacteria cause similar problems in freshwaters. These episodes encompass a broad range of phenomena collectively referred to as harmful algal blooms (HABs). For adequate management of these phenomena, monitoring of microalgae is required. However, present day monitoring is time consuming and based on morphology as determined by light microscopy, which may be insufficient to give definitive species and toxin attribution. In the European Union (EU) FP7 project MIDTAL (microarrays for the detection of toxic algae), we will first target rapid species identification using rRNA genes. The variable regions of the rRNA genes can be used for probe design to recognize species or even strains. Second, a toxin based microarray will be developed that includes antibody reactions to specific toxins produced by these microalgae because even when cell numbers are low, toxins can be present and can accumulate in the shellfish. Microarrays are the state of the art technology in molecular biology for the processing of bulk samples for detection of target RNA/DNA sequence. Existing rRNA probes and antibodies for toxic algal species/strains and their toxins will be adapted and optimized for microarray use. The purpose of MIDTAL is to support the common fisheries policy and to aid the national monitoring agencies by providing new rapid tools for the identification of toxic algae and their toxins so they can comply with EU directive 91/1491/CEE to monitor for toxic algae, and reduce the need for the mouse bioassay.

    Donysia avia (Primulaceae), a new species from Zagros Mountains, Iran2021In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 511, no 3, p. 296-300Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Dionysia avia, a new species from Esfahan province of Iran, is described, illustrated and compared with similar and related species. The new species is similar to D. bachtiarica and D. lamingtonii, but differs from the former mainly in showing isophylly and having abaxially pubescent leaves, pubescent calyx lobes and corollas, and capsules with 5-6 seeds, and can be distinguished from the latter mainly by its looser habit, softer and larger leaves, and calyx split to the base. A distribution map and a key to D. avia and similar species is provided.

    Paronychia sanchez-vegae (Caryophyllaceae), a new woody species of Paronychia from North Peru2018In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 334, no 1, p. 41-48Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    As part of botanical expeditions in the Amazonas region of North Peru, we found plants from the Central Andes (North Peru). Based on morphology and molecular data, the Peruvian population was described and illustrated here as a new species for Science, named Paronychia sanchez-vegae. The new species is compared with its most likely closest relative, P. andina from which differs by the larger size, its woody ramified stems, the glabrous leaf surface, shorter leaf size, shorter flowers and larger size of the ovary.

    Pycnandra longiflora (Sapotaceae) a species believed to be extinct, rediscovered in New Caledonia2016In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 278, no 2, p. 176-180Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Pycnandra longiflora (Sapotaceae) belongs to the largest endemic genus in New Caledonia. It is only known from the type collection made in 1861–67 at the obscure locality “Gatope”. Relocation of this species has been of high priority for more than a decade, but without success. Pycnandra longiflora was therefore recently declared extinct. However, a population was recently discovered near a mining site at Onajiele, in the Ouazangou-Taom massif, and it is revealed that P. longiflora has the most spectacular flowers in the entire genus, being large and bicoloured in red and yellow. A thorough description is here outlined and we propose a preliminary IUCN status as Critically Endangered.

    Reassessing taxonomic relationships in the Berkheya clade (Asteraceae, Arctotideae-Gorteriinae): the utility of achene morphology2016In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 246, no 1, p. 1-22Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The genus Berkheya is paraphyletic with the related genera Cullumia, Cuspidia, Didelta and Heterorhachis embedded within a broader clade termed the 'Berkheya clade'. As a contribution towards reassessment of species relationships and delimitation of species groupings within the clade, the utility of external achene morphology for supporting natural species groups within the clade was evaluated. Achenes from 67 species and 10 infraspecific taxa were examined, including representatives of each genus currently recognised in the Berkheya clade. Achene pubescence and pappus characteristics (e.g., scale shape and number of scales within a series) were indicated to be particularly variable and thus less reliable for assessment of species relationships. Of the currently recognised genera, only segregation of Cullumia was supported by achene and pappus characteristics. Species groupings implicit in Roessler's infrageneric classification of eight series within Berkheya were to a large extent supported. However, in particular, series Speciosae was indicated to be a disparate species grouping and the distinction of series Angustae and Cruciatae is not supported by achene and pappus morphology. Achene and pappus characteristics suggest several novel species groupings (e.g. an affinity between Berkheya cuneata, B. ferox and B. spinosa). Although the taxonomic sampling in published molecular phylogenetic analyses is limited, achene and pappus morphology partially supports clades resolved in prevailing phylogenetic reconstructions for the clade. More complete sampling in future molecular phylogenetic analyses is required to test novel species affinities suggested in the present study and to explore the evolution of the achene and pappus in the Berkheya clade.

    Pouteria synsepala (Sapotaceae: Chrysophylloideae) a new species from the northern littoral of Bahia, Brazil2016In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 286, p. 039-046Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A new species of Pouteria from the Atlantic Forest area of the northern littoral of Bahia State, Brazil, is described and illus- trated. Pouteria synsepala, whose epithet refers to the basally united sepals, a feature rare in the genus, resembles P. salicifo- lia in its narrowly elliptic leaves, but differs by the angle of secondary veins in relation to the midrib, pentamerous flowers, and stamens adnate to the corolla tube from the base to the tube orifice. Micromorphological studies revealed different pat- terns of stomate and wax morphology in the two species, providing further justification for the recognition of P. synsepala.

    Abstract [en]

    Simira colorata from western Ecuador is described and illustrated. It is distinguished from other species of Simira by havingrather small, glabrous leaves, with blades acute or obtuse at base, small non-calycophyllous, 4-merous flowers in ratherlarge, pyramidal inflorescences, and small fruits. In vegetative features it resembles the Amazonian S. rubescens, which differsfrom S. colorata in its reproductive features. Although new to science, S. colorata, has been known and widely used inthe Ecuadorian coast since the 18th century, and is nowadays endangered due to habitat loss.

    Taxonomic notes on saxicolous lecideoid lichens (Ascomycota, Lecanoromycetes), mainly from Fennoscandia2019In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 416, no 1, p. 43-50Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Lecideoid lichen-forming fungi are a large, heterogeneous assemblage including numerous taxa of unclear status. We revise five saxicolous lecideoid taxa described or reported from Fennoscandia. Carbonea nivaria was found to be a distinct species and a first full modern description is given here. It is only known from the Austrian Alps, with later records from Sweden being based on misidentifications. We found that four other taxa are synonyms of previously recognized species: Lecidea distensa (= Miriquidica leucophaea), L. haemensis (= Bryobilimbia ahlesii), L. rhizocarpoides (= Schaereria fuscocinerea) and L. satakuntensis (= Miriquidica plumbeoatra). Lectotypes are designated for the basionyms Lecidea distensa, L. haemensis, L. satakuntensis and Lecidella nivaria.

    Carbonea is a widely distributed genus of lecideoid fungi, including both lichenized and non-lichenized, often parasitic species. We describe the new, non-lichenized species Carbonea tephromelae, based on material collected in the Swedish part of the Scandes. The new species is characterized by a colourless hypothecium, broadly ellipsoid to globose ascospores, and by growing on the thallus of the common saxicolous lichen Tephromela atra. It is similar to the likewise lichenicolous species C. supersparsa and C. vitellinaria, but is clearly separated from these species by anatomy and in a phylogenetic analysis based on four markers (mrSSU, ITS, RPB1, RPB2). Carbonea tephromelae is apparently specific to T. atra, but the use of host specificity as a character for species delimitation in lichenicolous species of Carbonea needs further evaluation.

    On Calliandra and Afrocalliandra (Fabaceae-Caesalpinioideae)2023In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 595, no 1, p. 1-6Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The history of the genus Calliandra is reviewed, with particular reference to the two African species C. gilbertii and C. redacta. These species have been segregated as Afrocalliandra, based on proposed differences from a neotropical Calliandra. The stated differences are acalymmate, 7-celled (versus calymmate, 8-celled) polyads, presence (versus absence) of extrafloral nectaries, and presence (versus absence) of spines or thorns. A scrutiny of these claims shows that neither number of cells in the polyads, nor extrafloral nectaries, nor armature can be used to separate the two African species from the rest of the genus. The only remaining difference is the acalymmate polyads, a plesiomorphic state among mimosoids. On the contrary, a circumscription of Calliandra that includes also the two African species is, apart from being robustly supported by molecular data, also very strongly supported morphologically by 8-celled asymmetrical polyads with tail cells provided with viscin bodies (which are unique among legumes), by expanded stigmas with a wide area of polyad receptivity (which are unique among mimosoids), and by sagittate, petiolate and persistent cotyledons. A return to a circumscription of Calliandra that includes also the two African species is therefore proposed. Calliandra is subdivided into subg. Calliandra, with ca. 140 species in the Neotropics, and subg. Afrocalliandra, comb. et stat. nov., with C. gilbertii in Somalia and Kenya, and C. redacta in South Africa.

    The typification of Veronica peregrina (Plantaginaceae) reconsidered2023In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 585, no 3, p. 239-241Article in journal (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Veronica peregrina Linnaeus (1753: 14) was described in the protologue as “Veronica floribus solitariis sessilibus, foliis lanceolato-linearibus glabris obtusis integerrimis, caule erecto”, a phrase-name that was quoted directly from his previous treatment in Flora suecica (Linnaeus 1745: 6). Linnaeus (1753) stated about the origin of the plant: “Habitat in Europae hortis, arvisque” and also cited one synonym: “Veronica terrestris annua, folio polygoni, flore albo. Moris. Hist. 2. p. 322, sect. 3. t. 24. f. 19” (Morison 1680), based on material from England.

    Boswellia occulta (Burseraceae), a new species of frankincense tree from Somalia (Somaliland)2019In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 394, no 3, p. 219-224Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The new species Boswellia occulta is described from a small area in the Ceel Afweyn District of Somaliland (northwestern Somalia), where it is locally of considerable socio-economic importance. Although used for frankincense production by many generations of local harvesters, it has been unknown to science until now. Apart from the recently collected type material, it is also known from a sterile and hitherto misunderstood collection made in 1945. The simple-leaved Boswellia occulta is morphologically compared with B. sacra and B. frereana, the two major frankincense-producing species in the region, both with imparipinnate leaves, and it appears to be most closely related to B. sacra. The new species is the only simple-leaved species of Boswellia known outside Socotra.

    First record of the genus Pentzia (Asteraceae) in Oman2020In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 471, no 1, p. 90-92Article in journal (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Pentzia arabica, previously known only from a few collections from Yemen, is reported also from Jabal Samhan in Oman. This is the first record of a Pentzia in Oman, and the locality is the northernmost and easternmost known for the genus. A map of the distribution of P. arabica and its presumed sister species, P. somalensis in Somalia, is presented. Apart from these two species in the Horn of Africa region, the disjunct Pentzia comprises 26 species in southern Africa and two species in North Africa.

    Impatiens lixianensis, a new species of Balsaminaceae from Sichuan, China2013In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 115, no 1, p. 25-30Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Impatiens lixianensis, a new species of Balsaminaceae from Zhegushan, Lixian, Sichuan province, China, is described and illustrated. This species is closely related to I. apsotis in having small white to greenish-white flowers, 2 lateral sepals, and 1-2-flowered short racemes, but differs by its non-crested dorsal petals, a short 2-lobed swollen spur, long-clawed lower petals, and small scale-shaped upper petals. Regarding palynological characters, the lumina of the reticulum in I. lixianensis are smaller and much more granulate than those in I. apsotis.

    Ditiola haasii (Basidiomycota, Dacrymycetaceae): taxonomy and ecology of a rare species from Central Europe2021In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 522, no 2, p. 121-130Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Ditiola haasii, a largely unknown member of the Dacrymycetes described from Germany, is documented in detail based on two specimens collected on Picea abies wood in the Boubínský prales virgin forest, Czech Republic. The work represents the first complete taxonomic/ecological investigation of the species since its original description. The morphology of the newly studied samples is evaluated to gain a better knowledge of intraspecific variation, and a phylogenetic analysis based on nrLSU data is provided to further confirm our identification and show the phylogenetic position of D. haasii within the Dacrymycetes. A comparison with similar species and those with which it has been confused is made and ecological details are provided based on our collections. Colour photographs of basidiomata and micromorphological characters are published. Ditiola haasii is currently documented by just six records worldwide, all of them from Central Europe.
