| Abstract: | Lasiocroton trelawniensis (Euphorbiaceae), a critically endangered species from the Cockpit Country of Jamaica, belongs to Bernardia (Euphorbiaceae). Botanical Review Vol. 74, No., 1 2008.—A taxonomic study based on scanning electron microscopy of pollen,
macro-morphology, and a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the chloroplast DNA regions trnL-F and rbcL shows that Lasiocroton trelawniensis belongs to the Neotropical genus Bernardia. The main morphological differences between Bernardia and Lasiocroton are given, and the new combination Bernardia trelawniensis is provided.
Resumen Un estudio taxonómico basado en microscopía electrónica de barrido del polen, en macro-morfología, y en análisis filogenéticos
moleculares de las regiones del ADN de los cloroplastos trnL-F y rbcL muestra que Lasiocroton trelawniensis pertenece al género neotropical Bernardia. Se dan las principales diferencias morfológicas entre Bernardia y Lasiocroton y se da así mismo la nueva combinación Bernardia trelawniensis.
