Phylogenetic analyses of the subtribe Hyptidinae (Lamiaceae) based on nuclear ITS and ETS, and plastid trnL-F,trnS-G, trnD-T, and matK are presented. The analysis of the ITS dataset included 218 specimens representing 180 species ofHyptidinae. This analysis was used to select a smaller representative sample of 69 species of Hyptidinae for further a...

This paper is a review of all Polygalaceae material on which the treatments of the family by Saint-Hilaire and Moquin-Tandon in 1828 and Saint-Hilaire in 1829 were based. It includes type designation for the names of all new taxa there proposed, except for Polygala paludosa var. ambigua. Some of the Saint-Hilaire and Moquin-Tandon’s names which wer...

An earlier molecular study demonstrated the monophyly of the Hyptidinae and most of the genera within it. However, the largest genus, Hyptis, is paraphyletic and all other genera seem to be derived from a Hyptis ancestor. Most of the different lineages which comprise Hyptis are already established sections, some of which are now raised to generic r...

We estimated phylogenetic relationships of Polygala inferred from nrITS, matK‐trnK, trnL intron, trnL‐trnF intergenic spacer, and rbcL sequence data, with emphasis on the New World clade. Our results did not support the New World and Old World clades as sister groups in Polygala. Relationships among Polygala and allied genera are being discussed, w...

Priority areas for conservation are largely defined based on information about biodiversity. However, the available information on species richness is heavily biased due to low sampling density, especially in hard-to-reach areas such as the Amazon region of Brazil. Here, we quantified the efforts to inventory the flora of the Amazonian region of Ma...

This study presents a comprehensive chemical analysis of the essential oil isolated from Senega longicaulis, and aroma analysis of Senega adenophora and Senega appressa, employing both fresh and dried samples. Notable differences were observed between the fresh and dried samples of essential oil from S. longicaulis. In the fresh sample, the predomi...

This study presents a comprehensive review of 59 plant binomials corresponding to 42 species within Malvaceae sensu lato, as documented in Friar Vellozo's Florae Fluminensis, an historically significant floristic treatment in Brazil. For each name, we provide updated nomenclatural summaries, concise taxonomic descriptions, nomenclatural notes, and...

Collaea is a small monophyletic genus of tribe Diocleae (Leguminosae, Papilionoideae), currently with nine accepted species.

This paper aims to characterize the pollen of two genera within the subtribe Hyptidinae (Lamiaceae): Leptohyptis Harley & J.F.B. Pastore (4 species) and Oocephalus (Benth.) Harley & J.F.B. Pastore (12 species). The study evaluates whether pollen morphology corroborates the recent taxonomy of the group. Acetolysed pollen grains were measured, descri...

A comprehensive review of the name Polygala ovata Poiret (1804), basionym of the widely used Asemeia ovata, revealed strong evidence to an alternative interpretation of this name as used by Pastore and Abbott in their Asemeia treatment in 2012. Issues arise from discrepancies between Poiret’s identification in specimens kept in P herbarium as P. ov...

This paper presents a comprehensive review of previously overlooked names published in the third volume of the Encyclopédie by Diderot and d'Alembert in 1753. These names primarily originate from Tournefort's pre-Linnaean work, including textual copies of Tournefort's descriptions. We identified 21 names as having been validly published. Notably, a...

Eplingiella fruticosa, popularly known as “alecrim-de-vaqueiro”, is an aromatic and medicinal plant of the Lamiaceae family, endemic to the coastal region of northeastern Brazil. The objective of this study was to evaluate, in 12 genotypes of E. fruticosa, the variation of 16 morpho-agronomic markers related to the plant and leaves, as well as to i...

While reviewing Vellozo's Bignoniaceae names in Florae Fluminensis, a nomenclatural novelty came to light. The name Bignonia longiflora Vellozo, being a later homonym of B. longiflora Cavanilles, was deemed illegitimate. Consequently, Vellozo's name was eventually replaced with Tecoma speciosa Candolle ex Martius. However, when Tabebuia Gomes ex Ca...

The name Dolichos pungens, described in Vellozo’s Florae Fluminensis, is here revised and transferred to the genus Mucuna, as M. pungens. Expeditions were conducted to the probable original locality of Dolichos pungens in Paraty, a municipality in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, accompanied by the revision of herbarium specimens. A comprehensi...

The Florae Fluminensis was a colonial and pioneer study about the plants of the captaincy Rio de Janeiro and localities from São Paulo state, elaborated by Friar Vellozo. In the publication of the manuscript, many problems happened and this resulted in loss of priority from names of Vellozo. But in recent years, review in the nomenclature of the sp...

Endemic to the Neotropics, Monnina is the second largest genus of Polygalaceae, yet little is known about its phylogenetic history, biogeog-raphy, and morphological character evolution. To address these knowledge gaps, we conducted Bayesian and maximum likelihood (ML) analyses of nuclear ITS and plastid trnL-F regions to test the monophyly of Monni...

Samples of 265 plants were analyzed usi...

Amazonia, despite being famous as the most prominent tropical forest, is currently suffering high rates of degradation, with recurrent fires and deforestation, which could shortly lead it to be classified as a biodiversity hotspot for conservation. Although the known flora of the domain displays exceptional richness, its diversity is far from being...

Two taxonomic novelties in Eriosema were found during the review of Leguminosae names published in Vellozo’s Florae Fluminensis, in which Cytisus brasiliensis and C. unilateralis were revised and combined in Eriosema (respectively as E. brasiliense and E. unilateralis). The reviews included field expeditions to the most likely original localities o...

Samples of 265 plants were analyzed using nine primer comb...

We provide here a new combination, Ichthyothere quinquenervia, based on Vellozo’s name Terrentia quinquenervis (Asteraceae, Millerieae). This species was formerly known under the name Ichthyothere integrifolia, and can be recognized by being an herbaceous plant with a terminal cymose inflorescence usually with three heads, and an involucre with thr...

The identity of one Compositae name from Vellozo’s Florae Fluminensis, Chrysocoma adpressa, is revised with taxonomic notes, leading to one new combination, Lucilia adpressa, and a new synonym, L. lycopodioides under L. adpressa. We provided typifications for all not yet typified names involved, with the designation of five lectotypes and one epity...

Recommendations on the proper typification of names published in Vellozo's Florae Fluminensis are provided, using as examples the friar's published names for taxa of Eriocaulaceae, Polygalaceae and Violaceae, which were based on specimens that likely originated in the municipality of Cunha, in the Brazilian state of São Paulo. We designate as lecto...

The name Hyptis lythroides was published in early 1800, attached to a specimen member of H. sect. Polydesmia, collected in Central Goiás, Brazil. After some adjustments, generic in Hyptis and subtribal in Hyptidinae over the last 70 years, this species was recently transferred to the genus Oocephalus. For years, this name was mistakenly assigned to...

Leaf venation has not been widely used in taxonomic integrative works, although some potential in delimiting taxa has been reported. Hyptidendron, a neotropical genus with 20 species, seemed to present some variation in leaf venation patterns, which we sought to further investigate. A number of different herbaria were consulted, and herborized leav...

Full implementation of phylogenetic classifications remains pending, particularly to delimit infrageneric divisions of large genera. Mimosa, one of the largest genera of Fabaceae, includes five sections and 41 series, most of which are not monophyletic. Here we investigated the phylogenetic relationship among species of Mimosa series Pachycarpae an...

The new species are described in detail, illustrated, and their in...

The names of sixteen species of Polygala (Polygalaceae) collected by Luis Née and Thaddeus Haenke during the Malaspina Expedition of 1789–1794 were published mostly by C. L. Willdenow in Species Plantarum (1802) and by C. Presl in Reliquiae Haenkeanae (1835). Resale and/or redistribution of a large part of the collected specimens to various herbari...

The shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiver-sity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxo-nomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impedi...

Hyptis piranii, an endemic species from campos rupestres of Minas Gerais state, Brazil, was described as a member of H. sect. Polydesmia subsect. Oocephalus. After a number of sections and subsections of Hyptis had been raised to generic rank, this species became a member of the genus Oocephalus. Recent morphological analyses showed that, actually,...
