... Chauveau et al. (2012) in an important contribution for knowledge of the generic boundaries of Iridaceae family demonstrated the evolutionary trends in the flowers of the subfamily Iridoideae in the New World genera, and proved that the tribe Tigridieae is segregated into two large clades and Hesperoxiphion Baker, Larentia Klatt and Phalocallis belong to Trigridieae A, while Cypella belongs to Tigridieae B. In this same study, Cypella was recognized as polyphyletic and Cypella Hauthalii (Kuntze) Foster, Kelissa brasiliensis (Baker) Ravenna and Onira unguiculata (Baker) Ravenna are in a phylogenetic group distinct from the other Cypella species.

... It is possible to recognize some distinctive characteristics, which may be characteristic of a certain genus, as is the case with cauline leaf.For example, in Cipura, Eleutherine and Larentia the cauline leaf is single and well developed, often exceeding the length of the inflorescence (Ravenna 1988, Ravenna 2003, Ravenna 2009, Celis et al. 2003. In Cypella, on the contrary, the stem leaf is poorly developed and the upper cauline leaves are often bracteiform, although the stem leaf may be unique in some species (as Cypella pusilla and C. gloriana) and the inflorescence is fascicular, resembling the inflorescence of the genera Cipura and Larentia (Deble & Alves 2020). In Misionella, the flowering branch is similar to that found in the genera Herbertia, Kelissa and Onira, as it is generally short and branched only in the inflorescence, and the cauline leaf is single, flaccid and well developed, from which depart one or several pedicels of the spathes. ...

It is proposed the new genus Misionella belonging to the tribe Tigridieae. Misionella is closely related to thegenera Cypella, Kelissa and Onira, and vegetative and anatomically also resembles Herbertia. Misionella isconstituted by two species, Misionella Hauthalii and Misionella opalina (with two subspecies: opalina andminuticristata). Misionella is endemic on grassland areas occurring in northeast Argentina (Corrientes andMisiones provinces), center and northwestern Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil and southern Paraguay (Itapuãand Paraguari departments ). The genus Misionella is taxonomically revised, and its species are described andillustrated in detail and its geographic distribution is represented on a map. Data on etymology, geographicdistribution, habitat, phenology, conservation, uses and vernacular names are provided, as well as discussionsof taxonomic relationships of Misionella with related taxa. A dichotomous key for distinguishing the genera ofIridaceae-Tigridieae from South America is presented.

Durante los últimos meses he estado buscando información y ayuda para sacar a la luz el obituario de Pedro Felix [Pierfelice] Ravenna, uno de los botánicos más importantes de la segunda mitad del siglo XX y principios del XXI. Su trabajo no se limitó al análisis de ejemplares de herbario, sino también a numerosas excursiones principalmente por América, que dieron como resultado la descripción de nuevos taxones, principalmente de Alliaceae , Amaryllidaceae e Iridaceae, como así también otras monocotiledóneas (Agavaceae, Bromeliaceae, Gilliesiaceae, Herreriaceae, Hyacianthaceae, Icacinaceae, Liliaceae, Maranthaceae, Orchidaceae, Tecophyllaceae, Velloziaceae) y dicotiledóneas (Apiaceae, Asteraceae, Bignoniaceae, Bombacaceae, Brassicaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Fabaceae, Fagaceae, Valerianaceae, Verbenaceae). Además de eso, también contribuyó con floras regionales de la Argentina, Chile, Paraguay y Brasil. También cabe destacar la reciente publicación póstuma de <Flora Ilustrada de Entre Ríos, Argentina> (Familia Iridaceae y parte de Amaryllidaceae) 2. Mi más sincero agradecimiento por la información brindada al ingeniero agrónomo y botánico chileno Jorge Macaya-Berti, quien por motivos personales no pudo participar en la elaboración conjunta del texto según el propósito inicial, y a mi amigo personal, uno de los más virtuosos botánicos argentinos de la actualidad Héctor Alejandro Keller, por su ayuda con la traducción del texto al español, la lectura crítica y sobre todo con la resolución de partes del manuscrito y especialmente con la estructuración de la parte final del texto, que consideré muy apropiada. El texto presentado, que sigue el orden cronológico de las publicaciones de Ravenna, es desarrollado mediante comentarios y enriquecido con notas al pie de página. Estas últimas son secuenciales y siguen dos patrones: comentarios adicionales y nota del autor. El primero presenta información adicional sobre el texto, mientras que el segundo proporciona comentarios personales hechos por mí sobre temas específicos.

The genus Cypella is studied for the Uruguayan Flora. Based in revision of Herbaria and collections sampling were recognized 13 species and five subspecies for the country: C. alonsoana, C. aurinegra subsp. aurinegra, C. aurinegra subsp. albipurpurata, C. charruana, C. discolor, C. exilis, C. fucata, C. guttata, C. herbertii subsp. herbertii, C. herbertii subsp. brevicristata, C. herbertii subsp. reflexa, C. laeta, C. laxa, C. luteogibbosa, C. osteniana and C. rivularis. Cypella aurinegra subsp. albipurpurata comprises a new subspecies endemic in rocky place, on Mountain Range in Cerro Largo Department, Northeast Uruguay. Cypella laxa is a new record for the country. It is supplied dichotomous key, descriptions, material examined, comments and photos for all taxa identified. Furthermore, ecological data, conservation status, excluded species and other taxa with possible occurrence in Uruguay are listed.
... they considered this species as conspecific with C. exilis, based on the darker central line of the outer tepals and the overlapping measures of the floral parts. Even with the lectotype being a complete exsiccate,Eggers et al. (2019) considered C. exilis doubtful, butDeble & Alves (2020) maintained this species as the valid name for C. amplimaculata. With the addition of a new species for the same region of occurrence of C. exilis, a new analysis of the type of this species was necessary. ...
... Thus, it was verified that the lectotype of C. exilis displays anthers of 6.8 mm long, with connective of 0.9-1 mm, and staminal filaments with ca. 3 mm. The characteristics of the type of C. exilis, including the measurements of the floral parts, leave no doubt about the maintenance of C. amplimaculata as a synonym for C. exilis, as already indicated in previous works(Deble & Alves 2017b, Deble 2017, Deble & Alves 2020 ...

Neste estudo é descrita e ilustrada a anatomia foliar de três espécies sul-rio-grandenses de Calydorea. As características observadas concordam, em linhas gerais, com as possibilidades estruturais referidas para o gênero, salientando-se: folhas ramificadas em vista transversal (foliadas sensu Rudall), com extremidades fibrosas; epiderme uniestratificada, com células buliformes e estômatos nas duas faces; mesofilo homogêneo, sem grandes espaços intercelulares; feixes vasculares colaterais, com diferentes graus de desenvolvimento, dispostos alternadamente em uma única fileira central; esclerênquima marginal subepidérmico deslignificado, não associado às nervuras; e presença de estiloides. Este conjunto de caracteres é comum também a outros gêneros de Cipurinae (Tigridieae), o que reforça as relações de parentesco dentro do grupo. A ausência de caracteres exclusivos, no entanto, não permite a identificação de Calydorea, nem a sua separação da maioria dos demais integrantes da referida subtribo. Tampouco possibilita o seu reconhecimento ou não como um grupo natural. Particularidades na anatomia das três espécies foram observadas, embora com ressalvas.

The Sierra Madre del Sur (SMS) biogeographic province parallels the Pacific Ocean from the state of Jalisco to Oaxaca and Puebla. The area is very complex tectonically and geologically and harbors the highest number of vascular and endemic plant species in Mexico. Here, we describe Tigridia nana as a new species in this province. Furthermore, during the revision of herbaria and digital collections, we created a database to provide a biogeographical analysis of Tigridieae in the SMS. Morphologically, T . nana pertains to Tigridia subgenus Tigridia . The nectary has secretory trichomes that extend across the inner tepal, the base of the much reduced limb inflexes, and then covers it. Tigridia nana is endemic to Oaxaca coexisting in the SMS with 34 other species of Tigridieae. The group is very diverse in the state of Oaxaca, with the species richness and endemism concentrated in the Oaxacan Highlands district. The pine-oak forest harbors the greatest species richness. Our findings coincide with the species richness and endemicity values of some other plant groups in the SMS.

Survey on the tribe Tigridieae (Iridaceae) in the Campos of Southeast South America (SESA Grasslands). Iridaceae is one of the largest families of monocots and is an important constituent of grassland ecosystems across the globe. The tribe Tigridieae is exclusive to the Americas, with an important center of diversity in the Andean region, in the Campos of Southeast South America, in Mexico and in the southern United States. In this study, a survey of the Iridaceae-Tigridieae native to the Grassland Ecosystems of Southeast South America (=SESA Grasslands) is carried out. The SESA was divided into four regions: Campos, Campos de Altitude, Chaco Húmedo and Pampa. The Iridaceae-Tigridieae are represented by a total of 65 species (including ten subspecies), distributed in ten genera. The genus Cypella with 30 species and eight subspecies is the most diverse, followed by Calydorea (13 species), Herbertia (11 species) and Gelasine (four species and two subspecies). A total of 87% of the taxa occurring in the SESA are endemic, most of them exclusive to the Campos region, which includes 54 taxonomic entities, of which 41 taxa are endemic The Campos de Altitude region is represented by 15 taxa, including six endemic species. The Pampa region includes six taxonomic entities, being one of them endemic. The Chaco Húmedo region comprises five species, none of which are exclusive to the latter region. Key words: Bulbous, Grasslands, High Grasslands, Humid Chaco, Geographic distribution, diversity, Pampa.
