The taxonomy of the genus is considered difficult, and for more than a century its species were included in Solanum. Despite its relative diversity, Lycianthes has only a small number of diagnostic characters and has accumulated nomenclatural and systematic problems throughout its history, reflecting its great similarity with Solanum. Information concerning the genus in Brazil is still scarce, and the present work was designed to provide a taxonomic treatment and revisionary study of the Brazilian members of Lycianthes. The circumscriptions of the species presented here are based on evaluations of more than 700 specimens from both Brazilian and foreign herbaria and the examination of types and images from virtual herbaria. Lycianthes is represented in Brazil by 12 species belonging to Lycianthes subgenus Polymeris, with three subordinate sections (Lycianthes sects. Asaropsis, Simplicipila, and Eupolymeris). We provide keys to separate the three sections and the 12 Brazilian species of Lycianthes and include synonymy, typification, updated descriptions, distributions, and illustrations of all treated species.","PeriodicalId":54438,"journal":{"name":"Systematic Botany","volume":"47 1","pages":"642 - 666"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43542470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A careful morphological analysis of herbarium specimens and protologues evidenced no support for considering the two taxa as distinct entities.

In addition, we found that the morphotype often cited as E. linarioides from Bahia State, Brazil, cannot be included among the morphological variations of E. saxifragus, being distinguished by leaf size, prominence of the main vein, the length of the peduncle in relation to the pedicel, the presence of epidermal vesicles on anthers, the lengths of the styles, and the shapes of their stigmas and papillae. We therefore propose this morphotype as a new species, E. longipedicellatus, endemic to the Caatinga domain.

Resumo Evolvulus linarioides tem sido frequentemente confundida com E. saxifragus, devido à sobreposição de seus caracteres morfológicos. A partir de análises morfológicas cuidadosas de espécimes em herbários e dos protólogos, nós interpretamos que não há caracteres para considerar os dois táxons como entidades distintas. Com isso, nós propomos aqui a sinonimização de E. linarioides sob E. saxifragus, e propomos um neótipo para o nome agora sinonimizado. Além disso, constatamos que o morfotipo do estado da Bahia, frequentemente nomeado como E. linarioides, não pode ser incluído na variação morfológica de E. saxifragus. Tais espécimes podem ser diferenciados pelo tamanho das folhas, proeminência da nervura principal, comprimento do pedúnculo em relação ao pedicelo, presença de vesículas epidérmicas nas anteras, comprimento dos estiletes e forma dos estigmas e de suas papilas. Considerando isso, propomos esse morfotipo como uma nova espécie, E. longipedicellatus, até o momento endêmica da Caatinga.

It is one of the most recognizable ferns in North America due to the unusual nature of the indument present on its adaxial leaf surfaces. This consists of rigid, multicellular trichomes with glassy, needle-like apices and compact conical bodies that are partially embedded in the leaf surface to form swollen, pustulate bases. Despite the seemingly distinctive nature of M. scabra, published chromosome counts indicate that collections assigned to this taxon encompass both diploids (n = 29) and tetraploids (n = 58). Here we investigate this case of cryptic diversity by integrating data from cytogenetic and spore analyses, observations of sporophyte morphology, and geographic distributions. Myriopteris scabra s.l. is shown to comprise two genetically disparate, morphologically recognizable taxa that exhibit little or no geographic overlap. The tetraploid taxon is described as a new species, M. grusziae, which completely supplants diploid M. scabra in the northeastern portion of its range (central Texas and south-central Oklahoma). This presumed allotetraploid is most like M. scabra but differs in having ultimate segments with adaxial trichomes that are longer, more flexible, mostly linear, and superficially attached. In addition, tetraploid M. grusziae has larger, more abundant scales that largely conceal the dark, sclerified leaf rachises, and it produces consistently larger spores than diploid M. scabra. We hypothesize that M. grusziae is an allotetraploid hybrid that acquired half of its chromosomes from M. scabra. However, the identity of the other diploid parent has yet to be resolved.","PeriodicalId":54438,"journal":{"name":"Systematic Botany","volume":"47 1","pages":"876 - 886"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46660102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
