With 300% more sequence data and a similarly increased but also more geographically representative taxon sample compared to the only previous study of the lineage as a whole, we confirm the existence of the Pseuderanthemum Lineage, Isoglossinae, the Tetramerium Lineage and the Justicioid Lineage. To the last three lineages, we add a number of taxa with the goal of advancing our knowledge of genera (e.g., Isoglossa, Rhinacanthus) and of geographic areas (e.g., Malagasy and Asian Acanthaceae). These added taxa are accommodated within the phylogenetic framework for the lineages established in our earlier work with one exception. The monospecific genus Ichthyostoma is not placed in any of the established lineages but is instead sister to (Tetramerium Lineage + Justicioid Lineage). As this result is unexpected, we examined topologies both including and excluding this plant which revealed that other aspects of relationships remain stable whether Ichthyostoma is included or not. We point to Ichthyostoma as one of several Justicieae that will benefit from additional study. One species of Isoglossa is placed in the Tetramerium Lineage instead of with all other sampled members of the genus in Isoglossinae. Pollen morphology of I. variegata is more consistent with its phylogenetic placement here than with its taxonomic assignment to Isoglossa. As suggested in our earlier work, pollen morphology can be a powerful signal of phylogenetic relationships in Justicieae. With our increased sampling, we show that the Ptyssiglottis Lineage, a relatively small group of African and Asian plants, warrants recognition separate from Isoglossinae. With the addition of the Ptyssiglottis Lineage and excluding Ichthyostoma for now, the lineages of Justicieae are related as follows: (Pseuderanthemum Lineage ((Isoglossinae + Ptyssiglottis Lineage) (Tetramerium Lineage + Justicioid Lineage))). The Pseuderanthemum Lineage has been understudied to date and we here attempt to include representatives of all genera that are putatively part of this lineage and also to test monophyly of the larger genera. We identify a number of strongly supported clades but some aspects of relationship remain unresolved. Asystasia, Graptophyllum, Oplonia, and Pseuderanthemum are not monophyletic although, with a small number of nomenclatural changes, the first and second can be rendered monophyletic. With a range essentially as extensive as that of Justicieae as a whole, the Pseuderanthemum Lineage is biogeographically complex with patterns of distribution suggestive of multiple shifts between continents including Australia and parts of the Pacific basin. The calibrated phylogeny confirms that intercontinental shifts in distribution across Justicieae must have been by long-distance dispersal rather than by vicariance or stepwise dispersal over land bridges and also points to a number of groups that have p","PeriodicalId":80410,"journal":{"name":"Aliso","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47884738","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}

From 2014 through 2019 we surveyed the vascular plants in the Eureka Valley, northern Last Chance Range, and northern Death Valley. This study area covers 1735 sq km and ranges in elevation from 810 to 2577 m; it contains the tallest sand dunes in California, a calcium-rich mountain range, and alkaline seeps. These features provide specialized habitats for narrowly and regionally endemic plants. Fossil data from packrat middens suggest that the local climate has become warmer and drier during the Holocene and the assemblage of plants currently observed has only been in place for a few thousand years. During six years of fieldwork, we documented 542 specimens of minimum-rank taxa, including 51 special concern taxa and 25 non-natives. We were unable to relocate 45 taxa known from historic collections. Fifty-one collections were the first for the study area; these include 24 range extensions. Observations from our collections are combined with those from historic collections and other collectors in an annotated checklist.","PeriodicalId":80410,"journal":{"name":"Aliso","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70796615","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}

It is ca. 36.5 square miles (94.5 square km) in area and varies in elevation from 7360 to 13,750 ft (2243 to 4191m). Quaternary glacial erosion and deposition produced striking landscape features, including alpine fellfields and numerous small lakes. Previous floristic inventories in Rock Creek recorded a combined 396 minimum-rank taxa (species, subspecies, varieties, named hybrids) but were restricted to Little Lakes Valley and the surrounding high areas. An updated, annotated checklist of vascular plants is presented, based on preexisting specimens and new collections. I conducted intensive fieldwork from 2012 through 2016, resulting in 1506 collections (including two collections from a brief 2018 visit). More than 1000 historical collections were examined. The resulting checklist contains 591 taxa, of which 25 (4.2%) are nonnative to California and 32 (5.4%) are special-status plants. My fieldwork resulted in 128 taxa previously undocumented for the watershed. Eighty-one species historically collected were not rediscovered and are noted as such in the checklist. Nine taxa are new county records. The flora is represented by 77 families, 248 genera and 572 species. For each taxon, the checklist cites at least one collection and indicates the vegetation type(s) where it has been documented and its abundance in the watershed. A brief review of botanical exploration in the watershed during the past century is presented, along with geology, climate, vegetation and history of human activity.","PeriodicalId":80410,"journal":{"name":"Aliso","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70796491","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}
