Abstract
Abstract The grass genus Styppeiochloa De Winter (Arundinoideae: Poaceae) as it occurs in Madagascar is reviewed, two new species are described, and two subspecific taxa are elevated to species status. These new species, as well as the additional collections made since the latest treatment of the genus for Madagascar in 1954, greatly expand the documented geographic and ecological range of Styppeiochloa as a whole and demonstrate that a substantial diversification of the genus has occurred in Madagascar.
摘要综述了马达加斯加岛冬草属(Styppeiochloa De Winter)的分布情况,发现了2个新种,并将2个亚特异分类群提升为种。这些新物种,以及自1954年马达加斯加最近一次处理该属以来的额外收集,极大地扩展了有文献记载的整个Styppeiochloa的地理和生态范围,并表明该属在马达加斯加发生了实质性的多样化。
期刊介绍:
The Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden is a quarterly international journal primarily devoted to systematic botany and evolutionary biology. We encourage submissions of original papers dealing with significant advances in the taxonomy, phylogeny, biogeography, paleobiology, and evolution of plants, and in conservation genetics and biology, restoration ecology, and ethnobiology, using morphological and/or molecular characters, field observations, and/or database information. We also welcome reviews and papers on conceptual issues and new methodologies in systematics. Important floristic works will also be considered. Symposium proceedings discussing a broader range of topical biological subjects are also published, typically once a year. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed by qualified and independent reviewers.
