In order to make this variation comprehensible, the species was divided into five forms, which remain distinct in cultivation (Robson in Plantsman 1: 193–200. 1980, in Phytotaxa 4: 26. 2010). Moreover, there are several ornamental cultivars of <i>H</i>. <i>olympicum</i> (e.g., ‘Citrinum’, ‘Sulphureum’, ‘Variegatum’) (see https://ecuador.inaturalist.org/taxa/567176-Hypericum-olympicum#cite_note-30).</p>\u0000<p>Aerial parts of the plant are used in folk medicine for stomach ache, inflamed wounds and cuts (Tuzlacı & al. in Fitoterapia 72: 323–343. 2001), thus its essential oil composition (Gudžić & al. in Flavour Fragr. J. 16: 201–203. 2001; Smelcerovic & al. in Biochem. Syst.

(or sometimes <i>Neofuscelia pulla</i> (Schreb.) Essl.) has been used to refer to a common, brown, foliose saxicolous lichen. The basionym had, however, long been considered to be <i>Parmelia pulla</i> Ach. (Syn. Meth. Lich.: 206. 1814), and so the type had been assumed to be an Acharian collection. A specimen of <i>Parmelia pulla</i> in H-ACH 1420D (= H9502152) conforming to current usage was therefore designated as lectotype by Esslinger & Ahti (in Revista Fac. Ci. Univ. Lisboa, ser. 2, C, Ci. Nat. 17: 728 & fig. 1. [“1973”] 1975). However, one of us (L.A.) pointed out that this was incorrect, as Acharius's species name was intended as a new combination based on <i>Lichen pullus</i> Schreb. (Spic. Fl. Lips.: 131. 1771) as that name was listed as a synonym. It is therefore necessary to address the status and typification of the intended basionym to fix the application of Acharius's name.</p>\u0000<p>The situation is complicated as Schreber's name is a later homonym of <i>Lichen pullus</i> Neck. (Delic. Gallo-Belg.: 510. 1768), a corticolous and not a saxicolous brown parmelioid species. The protologues of both these names include Dillenius (Hist. Musc.: 182, t. 24, fig. 77. 1742 [<i>sic</i> 1741, fide Henrey, Brit. Bot. Hort. Lit. 2: 271. 1975]), but we do not consider them isonyms because the texts make clear they were referring to species of different substrata and so should be typified accordingly. Figure 77 shows three lichens, A, B and C, but on page 182 Dillenius cited only A and B. Crombie (in J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 17: 572. 1880) studied the Dillenian collections, and stated that A was from the species now known as <i>Melanohalea olivacea</i> (L.) O. Blanco & al., and B from that now known as <i>Melanelixia fuliginosa</i> (Fr. ex Duby) O. Blanco & al. We examined high-resolution digital images of these collections and have no reason to disagree with Crombie's opinion for B, but A appears to have apothecia with papillate thalline exciples and so may be <i>Melanohalea exasperata</i> (De Not.) O. Blanco & al., rather than <i>M. olivacea</i>. Both <i>M. exasperata</i> and <i>M. olivacea</i> are almost always corticolous and fertile, whereas <i>Melanelixia fuliginosa</i> is only exceptionally corticolous and sterile with abundant isidia. Necker's lichen was therefore most likely a corticolous <i>Melanohalea</i> species, but we choose not to lectotypify it here by Dillenius's fig. 77A as we have not investigat","PeriodicalId":49448,"journal":{"name":"Taxon","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140004526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of these names, <i>A. pentaphyllum</i> L. (l.c.: 964–965) was described from India and appears still to be untypified.</p>\u0000<p>The protologue of <i>Arum pentaphyllum</i> (Linnaeus, l.c.) consists of a very short diagnosis (“ARUM acaule, foliis quinatis”) and two synonyms cited from Morison (“Arum pentaphyllum indicum. <i>Moris. hist</i>.

[LXXVIII, preceding p. 205]” [1675]); the provenance was also reported (“<i>Habitat in</i> India”). Both Morison (l.c. 1699: sect. 13, t. 5, fig. 27) and Zanoni (l.c. 1675: fig. LXXVIII: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=ucm.5325109245&amp;seq=381) published almost identical illustrations, which are original material for the Linnaean name. No original specimens have been located in the Linnaean and Linnaean-linked herbaria. Therefore, the two illustrations are the only extant original material. Both match the Linnaean diagnosis in depicting a plant without stem and with leaves 5-palmate (“foliis quinatis”); both illustrations also include the spadix but no floral details are represented there.</p>\u0000<p>In accordance with the treatments of Schott (in Schott &amp; Endlicher, Melet. Bot.: 17. 1832) and Blume (Rumphia 1: 109. 1836), Jarvis (l.c.: 319) considered <i>Arum pentaphyllum</i> to be <i>Arisaema pentaphyllum</i> (L.) Schott (l.c.). Nevertheless, this name has not been otherwise accepted in any botanical publication in over a century, and in fact the illustration and Zanoni's (l.c.: 170) associated description clearly demonstrate that the name cannot be applied to any member of the tribe <i>Arisaemateae</i> Nakai to which the genus <i>Arisaema</i> belongs, because the illustrated spathe appears to be constricted with a connate tube and a gaping and erect blade, while according to Mayo &amp; al. (Gen. Araceae: 268. 1997; in Kubitzki, Fam. Gen. Vasc.

{"title":"Eighth International Legume Conference, Pirenópolis, Brazil, August 2023","authors":"Marcelo Simon, Tania Moura, Domingos Cardoso, Patrick Herendeen","doi":"10.1002/tax.13111","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/tax.13111","url":null,"abstract":"<p>The 8th International Legume Conference (8ILC, www.8ilc.com) took place from 6th to 11th August 2023 in Pirenópolis, Brazil, one of the most charming towns in the heart of the savanna landscapes of the Cerrado biodiversity hotspot. The ILC is a series of international conferences focused on the legume family. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including but not limited to systematics, evolution, biogeography, morphology, ecology, biological nitrogen fixation, and genomics. Although this event was inaugurated in 1978, it does not adhere to a set periodic schedule; in recent years, however, it has been convened approximately every five years. For the first time, the ILC was held in Brazil, a country renowned for its extraordinary biological and cultural diversity, and home to a vibrant community of legume researchers. The International Association for Plant Taxonomy (IAPT), reaffirming its commitment to fostering global taxonomy and systematics, was among the 8ILC sponsors.</p>\u0000<p>Since its inception, the ILC has firmly established itself as a prominent international meeting, attracting a diverse and extensive participation of researchers from various countries and continents, as well as a remarkable presence of students. By fostering global collaboration among researchers, well exemplified by the formation of the Legume Phylogeny Working Group (LPWG), the ILC is a welcoming environment in which new scientifically exciting ideas and advances in the legume family arise. For example, the 6ILC in 2013 in Johannesburg, South Africa, set the stage for establishing the new phylogeny-based subfamily-level classification of the Leguminosae. The extensive discussions on the new legume classification that emerged during the 6ILC were the basis for the publication of two papers in <i>Taxon</i> in 2013 and 2017, under the auspices of the LPWG: (1) a review paper discussing the progress made to date in the molecular systematics and the need for a revised classification of the family (LPWG, 2013: https://doi.org/10.12705/622.8), and (2) the new subfamily-level classification (LPWG, 2017: https://doi.org/10.12705/661.3). Since its publication in early 2017, the LPWG's new classification of legumes at the subfamily level has become successful not only in the legume community. Its impact across plant science is demonstrated by the fact that it has already reached the landmark of becoming the second-most cited paper ever published in <i>Taxon</i>.</p>\u0000<p>The 8ILC in Pirenópolis was centered around the theme of “Integrating Knowledge on the Legume Family”. At the Opening Ceremony on 6th August, Marcelo Simon (Chairperson of the 8ILC) addressed the conference by welcoming all delegates. Then, Professor Fabio Scarano (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro) delivered the opening keynote talk “Legumes and futures: Dialogues between different ways of knowing”.</p>\u0000<p>The global legume community was well represented, with 147 participants hailing from 18 countries,","PeriodicalId":49448,"journal":{"name":"Taxon","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139953303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tarma, La Merced im Chanchamayo-Thal, lichter Wald, 1000 m, Dec 1902, &lt;i&gt;Weberbauer 1864&lt;/i&gt; (B).&lt;/p&gt;\u0000&lt;p&gt;The binomial referenced in the title of this proposal has long been accepted for a species of &lt;i&gt;Philodendron&lt;/i&gt; subg. &lt;i&gt;Pteromischum&lt;/i&gt; (Schott) Mayo, widespread in the western portion of the Amazon basin in South America, and distinctive morphologically by virtue of its relatively short-petiolate and narrow leaves with conspicuous (at least in dried material) blackish resin canals. The correct spelling of its epithet, however, has been a bone of contention. The name &lt;i&gt;Philodendron chinchamayense&lt;/i&gt; (with that spelling) was validated by Adolf Engler (in Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 37: 125. 1905) based on a single specimen collected three years previously by his countryman August Weberbauer “im Chanchamoyo-Tal” (as cited by Engler), Peru. Although Engler did not specify the etymology of his epithet in an explicit manner, he must certainly have based it on the type locality, orthography notwithstanding. Engler's usage of two different spellings is prima facie evidence of an orthographical (if not a typographical) error, because both cannot be correct. In fact, as it turns out, both versions are erroneous: the Peruvian place-name (referring to a river, a town, a district, and a province) on which the epithet of this species must have been based is correctly spelled “Chanchamayo”, and was so spelled even in Engler's time (“Chanchamayo-Thal” is handwritten quite legibly on the label of Weberbauer's type specimen). The Chanchamayo River valley has attained wide repute even outside Peru as a premier coffee-growing region. I have been unable to find any evidence that the spellings “Chinchamayo” or “Chanchamoyo” have ever been used by anyone other than Engler (although “Chanchamayu”, a historic Quechua spelling, persists on a minor scale).&lt;/p&gt;\u0000&lt;p&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Code&lt;/i&gt; (Art. 60.1; Turland &amp; al. in Regnum Veg. 159. 2018) allows for “the correction of typographical or orthographical errors”, one or the other of which &lt;i&gt;Philodendron chinchamayense&lt;/i&gt; is a clear example. According to Art. 60.3, “The liberty of correcting a name is to be used with reserve, especially if the change affects the first syllable and, above all, the first letter of the name”; nevertheless, several conflicting examples are condoned, e.g., those of &lt;i&gt;Agaricus rhacodes&lt;/i&gt; Vittad. (Art. 60 Ex. 2), &lt;i&gt;Globba trachycarpa&lt;/i&gt; Baker (Ex. 3), and &lt;i&gt;Gluta renghas&lt;/i&gt; L. (Ex. 6). As far as I have been able to establish, the first author to correct Engler's &lt;i&gt;P. chinchamayense&lt;/i&gt; to &lt;i&gt;P. chanchamayense&lt;/i&gt; was Weberbauer himself (in Engler &amp; Drude, Veg. Erde 12: 282. 1911), who did so without comment in an enumeration of plant species from the “Chanchamayo-Tal”.
