Abstract
Background and aims: Juncus is the largest and most diverse genus of Juncaceae, distributed mainly in the temperate zones of both hemispheres. The Southern Cone flora contains ca. 38 Juncus species (44 taxa including 12 infraspecific categories). Sixteen of those species belong to the section Ozophyllum. As a part of our ecologic studies in wetlands of Patagonia (Argentina) we collected specimens of Juncus that did not match any of the species currently known to the Southern Cone. The aim of this contribution is to report for the first time the presence of Juncus articulatus subsp. articulatus for the Southern Cone flora.
M&M: Classical methods in taxonomy were employed. Living and herbarium material, original descriptions, and type material of Juncus articulatus subsp. articulatus were studied. Collected materials were deposited in the herbarium ARC of the Universidad Nacional del Comahue.
Results: Juncus articulatus subsp. articulatus is here described. A distribution map, photos, and a key to the Southern Cone species of Juncus belonging to the section Ozophyllum are provided. Also, some ecological and distributional features are discussed.
Conclusions: The naturalization of Juncus articulatus subsp. articulatus is reported here for the first time in the Southern Cone. From now on, Juncus contributes 39 species to the Southern Cone flora, and 17 to Juncus section Ozophyllum.
期刊介绍:
Bol. Soc. Argent. Bot. publishes original scientific works from the whole spectrum of Plant Biology (structure, anatomy, development, physiology, cytology, genetics, evolution, ecology, paleobotany, palynology, ethnobotany, etc.) in the diverse vegetable organisms and related groups (mycology, ficology, lichenology, briology, etc.), both in basic and applied aspects.
Taxonomic works (of systematics, phylogeny, monographs, revisions, lectotypifications, nomenclatural acts, descriptions of taxa), phytogeographic and phytosociological works (survey and classification of vegetation at different spatial scales and without restriction of methodological approaches) are considered for publication. Contributions that address complete phytogeographic units or sub-units and those that fill gaps in knowledge of vegetation in little-known territories are especially welcome. Extensions of geographical areas are published only when it comes to new citations for a country. Checklists and lists of annotated plants are not published.
Articles submitted for publication must be original and must not have been submitted to another publisher or previously published (print or electronic format). Submissions of papers already published in another language will not be accepted (autoplagio for translation).
