DNA barcoding of the genus Verbascum (Scrophulariaceae) in the Arabian Peninsula TAXON (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-06 Ali Mohammed Alzahrani, Joana Magos Brehm, Shahina A. Ghazanfar, Nigel Maxted
Verbascum and Rhabdotosperma are members of the family Scrophulariaceae. The first genus comprises approximately 360 species from almost all parts of the world, while the second contains a total of 8 species from tropical Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Since 1977, the relationships between Verbascum and Rhabdotosperma continue to be contested. The present study aims to present the phylogenetic relationships

Phylogenetic placement of Hydrostachys (Hydrostachyaceae) has long been enigmatic, the highly divergent morphology of Hydrostachys having prevented its confident placement in any clade of angiosperms. Phylogenetic placements using DNA sequence data have varied, with most studies suggesting a placement within Cornales.

The pantropical genus Connarus is the largest within Connaraceae and comprises ca. 80 species, most of which occur in the Neotropics. The genus is potentially economically important as several taxa produce metabolites of medicinal interest. Morphologically, Connarus differs from other members of the family mainly by the punctate perianth, the single carpel and follicular and relatively broader fruits

Critique of Proposals 258–260 to eliminate contradiction between Articles 11.7 and 11.8 and to equate non-fossil with fossil names of dinophytes for purposes of priority, by Elbrächter & al.

Dual nomenclature in dinoflagellates effectively allows the same organism to bear two names, one based on a non-fossil type and representing the entire life cycle which includes both motile cells and cysts (“coccoid cells”), and another based on a fossil type and restricted to that stage in its life cycle (Head & al. in Taxon 65: 902–903. 2016; Head & al. in Palynology, in press).

The identities of three plants of unknown origin revealed by ancient paintings TAXON (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-24 Emanuele Del Guacchio, Tim Böhnert, Giancarlo Sibilio, Olga De Castro, Paolo Caputo
Archives and correspondences are often overlooked resources in assessing taxonomic and nomenclatural information and this sometimes affects taxonomic proposals. Here we show that unpublished illustrations not only can definitively help in identifying unresolved or poorly known names but can be themselves original material and sometimes must serve as types, avoiding neotypes or misleading synonymizations

Two new Dryopteris taxa originated from distantly related congeners in China TAXON (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-23 Hong-Jin Wei, Bin Chen, Zheng-Yu Zuo
Since the inception of genetic investigations into the origin of Dryopteris species belonging to D. subg. Erythrovariae in East Asia, around 20 taxa with hybrid ancestry have been identified. Among these species, some have arisen from distant interspecific hybridization events. In this study, we describe and illustrate two newly discovered hybrids from China: Dryopteris parabissetiana sp. nov., a triploid

Revised taxonomy for two species complexes of Western Australian Isopogon (Proteaceae) using RADseq TAXON (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-22 Benjamin M. Anderson, Rachel M. Binks, Margaret Byrne, Robert Davis, Michael Hislop, Barbara L. Rye
The Australian genus Isopogon (Proteaceae) consists of approximately 39 species, most of which occur in southwestern Australia, a region of considerable endemism and biodiversity. Unresolved taxonomic issues exist for two species complexes (nine suspected taxa) allied to I. spathulatus and I. polycephalus. There is uncertainty in how to delimit species in these two complexes due to unclear or overlapping

Phylogeny of Prosthechea (Laeliinae, Orchidaceae) based on nrITS and plastid DNA sequences: Reassessing the lumper-splitter debate and shedding light on the evolution of this Neotropical genus TAXON (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-19 Tiago L. Vieira, Gerardo A. Salazar, Cássio van den Berg
After a confused taxonomic history, Prosthechea (Laeliinae, Orchidaceae) has been circumscribed in a broad sense to include species previously placed in Encyclia subg. Osmophytum. However, recent alternative classifications resurrecting old names such as Anacheilium and Hormidium, and proposing new genera such as Euchile, Panarica, Pollardia, and Pseudencyclia were presented, splitting Prosthechea

Typification of the Linnaean name Crepis vesicaria (Compositae: Cichorieae) revisited TAXON (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-15 P. Pablo Ferrer-Gallego
The typification of the Linnaean name Crepis vesicaria (Compositae: Cichorieae) is revised. This name had previously been “lectotypified” by Babcock in 1947 on a specimen kept in LINN (Herb. Linnaeus No. 955.3). However, Linnaeus cited in the protologue a specimen from the Joachim Burser Herbarium, currently preserved at UPS-BURSER (Herb. Burser VI: 70). According to the International Code of Nomenclature

Report of the Nomenclature Committee for Algae: 25 TAXON (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2023-12-28 Robert A. Andersen
Three names are recommended for conservation: Pseudokephyrion against Dinobryopsis and Kephyriopsis (Chrysophyceae), Phalacroma (Dinophyceae) against Phalacroma (Trilobita), and Discosphaera (Prymnesiophyta) against Discosphaera (Ascomycota). It is recommended that Actinostephanos (Bacillariophyta) and Actinostephanus (Gesneriaceae) be treated as homonyms.
