Flavonoid chemistry ofPolygonum sect.Tovara (Polygonaceae): A systematic survey

Polygonum sect.Tovara includes three controversial species;P. virginianum, P. filiforme, andP. neofiliforme. The flavonoid chemistry of these was examined to provide additional information on their delimitation and levels of differentiation. Eight flavonoid compounds were isolated and identified, all of which were 3-O-glycosides of the flavonols kaempferol, quercetin, and myricetin, and their acylated derivatives. Although they exhibit relatively simple flavonoid profiles, the three taxa are readily distinguished by their flavonoid constituents. In addition, they show fundamental differences in flavonol types and glycosylation patterns. These results, in conjunction with evidence from the morphology, strongly suggest thatP. virginianum, P. filiforme, andP. neofiliforme are closely allied but distinct species.     

Stelar structure ofAsplenium obtusifolium and its allied species in the New World tropics,with comparison to the Asian members ofAsplenium sect.Hymenasplenium

The stelar structure ofAsplenium obtusifolium and its related species (A. repandulum, A. riparium, A. triquetrum, A. volubile, A. purpurascens, A. ortegae, A. delitescens, A. hoffmannii, andA. laetum) in the New World tropics was observed and compared to that of Asian species ofAsplenium sect.Hymenasplenium. Both of the groups were found to share peculiar stelar structures: steles with two meristeles, a broader ventral and a narrower dorsal, each providing one of the two leaf traces; leaf gaps arranged in two rows between the dorsal and ventral strands, which are connected by thin meristeles, delimiting the leaf gaps. These structures are distinct from the radial symmetrical ones general inAsplenium. Together with cytological evidence, this strongly indicates that the New and Old World groups are closely related. Thus, these Neotropical species should be included in sect.Hymenasplenium.     

Pollen morphology inLinum sect.Macrantholinum

Pollen of the two distylous species which make upLinum sect.Macrantholinum differs from that of other distylous species in the genus in being multiporate and in having much more modest differences in exine sculpturing between grains from long- and short-styled plants. Pollen morphology does not help in relating the two species to others in the genus but does support their retention in a separate section.     

Lectotypification of Achillea santolina L. and Achillea falcata L. (Compositae-Anthemideae)

The lectotypes of Achillea chillea santolina L. and A. falcata L. (Achillea sect. Achillea) have been confrmed to be in the Clifford Herbarium. A. santolina L. cannot be retained as the generitype, and the selection of A. millefolium L. instead is confirmed. The species concept of the Linnaean A. santolina did not correspond to the post-Linnaean usage of this name. In most cases, A. santolina L. had been confused with A. wilhelmii C. Koch, but morphological differences separate those two species distinctly. The only extant element of A. falcata L. is found in the Clifford Herbarium, and this specimen corresponds principally to what is considered to be A. falcata today. Deviation in leaf structures is due to this material being of cultivated origin.     

Systematic implications of chloroplast DNA variation inLepidium sectionsCardamon,Lepiocardamon andLepia (Brassicaceae)

Chloroplast DNA restriction site variation was examined amongLepidium taxa usually classified in sects.Lepia, Lepiocardamon andCardamon. By using 15 restriction endonucleases, filter hybridization experiments, and comparative mapping procedures, a total of 119 variable restriction sites was detected. Of these, 56 were phylogenetically informative and were used in a cladistic analysis. The resulting phylogenetic tree agrees with results derived from morphology, isozyme electrophoresis and the analysis of glucosinolates. The data suggest: 1) The recognition of sect.Lepia, and 2) that sect.Lepiocardamon has close relationships to sect.Cardamon and that both should be amalgamated. Low rates of interspecific chloroplast DNA sequence divergence in sect.Lepia correlated well with morphological data and isoelectric focusing analysis of Rubisco, suggesting that taxa of sect.Lepia are closely related and most likely have diversified recently.     

铁线莲属铁线莲组修订

对毛茛科铁线莲属(Clematis)中单型的翅果铁线莲组(sect. Pterocarpa)进行了分类学修订,写出了此组及其惟一种,翅果铁线莲(C. brachyura)的分类学简史和形态描述,给出此种的插图。根据其体态及花构造近似亚洲东部的辣蓼铁线莲(C. mandshurica Rupr.)和圆锥铁线莲(C. terniflora DC.)[二种均为威灵仙组(sect. Clematis)的成员],推测翅果铁线莲可能源自威灵仙组。     

SomeCortinarius spp. (Agaricales) of the Cooloola Sand-Mass,Queensland, Australia

Four distinct species ofCortinarius referable to subg.Dermocybe are described from the Cooloola Sand-Mass, Queensland; two are formally recognized asC. alkalivirens, spec. nova andC. chromobasis, spec. nova, whilst notes are provided for the other two. Chemical methods and cladistic studies are applied and indicate a new section of the subgenus is required.Australodermocybe sect. nova is proposed.

Cytogenetic investigations onOenothera nutans (Onagraceae)

Oenothera nutans, common to the Appalachian Mts between 650 and 1 700 m altitude, was investigated cytogenetically and taxonomically. The species is permanently structurally heterozygous. It consists of two genomes of the B-type which are more or less indistinguishable phenotypically. Nearly all of the strains investigated possess a self-incompatibility factor in one of the two complexes. Both complexes show a close relationship to the predominantly homozygousO. grandiflora, a native of the southern lowlands.O. nutans andO. grandiflora possess the same plastid type, plastome III. Probably,O. nutans evolved by an accumulation of reciprocal translocations within an originally structurally homozygous population, which must be regarded ancestral to the present forms ofO. grandiflora.
