Memecylon longipedunculatum, a new species of Melastomataceae, is described and illustrated. The species is known to occur in Khanh Hoa and Ninh Thuan provinces in South Central Coast Vietnam, where it is restricted to low dry coastal forests and scrubby vegetation. The description is based on the authors' original gatherings as well as on the hist...

Introduction Understanding the complex inflorescence architecture and developmental morphology of common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) is crucial for crop yield. However, most published descriptions of early flower and inflorescence development in Polygonaceae are based on light microscopy and often documented by line drawings. In Fagopyrum and...

The grass family (Poaceae) includes cereal crops that provide a key food source for the human population. The food industry uses the starch deposited in the cereal grain, which develops directly from the gynoecium. Morphological interpretation of the grass gynoecium remains controversial. A bistigmatic grass gynoecium has two sterile carpels, each...

Background The extreme southwest of Australia is a biodiversity hotspot region that has a Mediterranean-type climate and numerous endemic plant and animal species, many of which remain to be properly delimited. We refine species limits in Anarthria , a Western Australian endemic genus characterised by the occurrence of the greatest number of plesio...

A new species Althenia tzvelevii is described from south western Australia. This is the second species after A. bilocularis described with bilocular anthers. Illustrations of plant morphology are provided by means of SEM images and habitat photographs are included. The phylogenetic relationships of the new species were investigated using five plast...

Reports on whether typical apertures occur in pollen of Althenia (Potamogetonaceae) are controversial. The question is of interest because relatively few submerged aquatic angiosperms possess localised apertures, and the phylogenetic placement of Potamogetonaceae suggests an ancestral nature for the inaperturate condition in this family. Pollen gra...

Anarthria, Lyginia and Hopkinsia, endemic to south-western Western Australia, differ from the rest of Restionaceae sensu APG IV in the presence of dithecal rather than monothecal anthers. Dithecal and monothecal Restionaceae form two well-supported sister clades in molecular phylogenetic trees, but shared morphological features of Anarthria, Lygini...
