This new species shares features with three species (B. gibbosa, B. neblinae, and B. yatuana) of section Neobesleria subsection Axillares. Morphologically, it is closest to B. yatuana, but it differs in its leaves, inflorescences, calyx, and corolla. In addition, habitat information, a distribution map, and data of its conservation status are included. An identification key of 27 species of Besleria found in the Rio Negro basin (Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela) and adjacent regions is also provided. This new species elevates to 66 the number of Besleria taxa for the flora of Colombia, the country with the highest diversity of the genus.","PeriodicalId":39248,"journal":{"name":"Harvard Papers in Botany","volume":"17 6","pages":"205 - 214"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41286222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An illustrated key is presented to species in the Venezuelan clade of Espeletia (Asteraceae), based on herbarium specimens, virtual herbaria, and fresh samples from field collections. The 54 Espeletia species in this clade are documented: (i) 48 entirely endemic to the Venezuelan Andes, (ii) 2 found as well in the Venezuelan Cordillera de la Costa, the eastern section of the Colombian Cordillera Oriental, and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, and (iii) 4 endemic to the northern section of Colombian Cordillera Oriental and Sierra de Perijá. Schematic representations of leaves of all species are provided, including important diagnostic characters such as length-to-width ratios, and the shape, density, or angles of secondary nerves. Additional diagnostic characters are also described or illustrated for some species, such as the type of indumentum on leaves, the structure of the inflorescence, the size of the capitulum, and the color of ray ligules. The key has been shown to allow identification of species using both herbarium samples and fresh material, and given the predominant use of vegetative characters it is also useful on some monocarpic rosette species that are frequently found in the vegetative stage.","PeriodicalId":39248,"journal":{"name":"Harvard Papers in Botany","volume":"25 1","pages":"79 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43255215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Orchidaceae is one of the most threatened families of vascular plants in the world, and in recent years, species distribution models (SDM) have been used as a tool to inform the conservation status of several species. However, the usefulness of SDM depends on appropriate knowledge of the use and limitations of these tools, otherwise there is a risk of getting erroneous models leading to wrong decisions in conservation plannning. We present the distribution model of Lepanthes mucronata in South America based on current and accepted knowledge in this discipline. The representativeness of protected areas for Colombia is evaluated, as well as ecosystems where it is present and its risk of extinction based on criteria of the IUCN. After reviewing these parameters, we found that Lepanthes mucronata meets the criteria for Least Concern (LC) IUCN status. We expect this investigation to serve as an appropriate example of this type of analysis and as a reference for future work in the conservation of this plant family.","PeriodicalId":39248,"journal":{"name":"Harvard Papers in Botany","volume":"25 1","pages":"111 - 121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47703941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
