Abstract
Chaetogastra DC. is a genus of Melastomataceae widely distributed in the Neotropical region and with an important center of endemism in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, especially in the southern and southeastern areas. To prepare a taxonomic treatment for the genus in Brazil, we consulted a wide range of herbarium specimens, including types. We propose here some nomenclatural adjustments including one new name, two new statuses, four new combinations, nine lectotypifications, and thirteen new synonyms. For each species, we present lists of selected specimens as a reference for comparison, so that curators can identify them in herbaria, besides information on geographic distribution and phenology. These taxonomic and nomenclatural adjustments are necessary for updating the genus Chaetogastra in one of the main databases on Brazilian plant species, the “Flora e Funga do Brasil”.
Chaetogastra直流。是广泛分布于新热带地区的一属,是巴西大西洋森林的重要特有中心,特别是在南部和东南部地区。为了准备对该属在巴西的分类处理,我们查阅了广泛的植物标本室标本,包括类型。本文提出了一些命名调整,包括1个新名称、2个新状态、4个新组合、9个lectotypation和13个新同义词。对于每个物种,除了地理分布和物候信息外,我们还提供了精选标本清单作为比较参考,以便管理员在植物标本室中识别它们。这些分类学和命名学上的调整对于更新巴西植物物种主要数据库之一“Flora e Funga do Brasil”中的Chaetogastra属是必要的。
期刊介绍:
Feddes Repertorium - Journal of Botanical Taxonomy and Geobotany is one of the world"s leading publications in theory and practice. Original research papers and reviews cover all groups of the plant world, including extant and fossil. Theory and principles of taxonomy, nomenclature, techniques and methodology, on evolution and phylogeny and descriptions of new taxa are considered as well. The reader will also find information on the history of flora and vegetation. All papers are internationally refereed by experts in their respective fields.
