<b>Background and aims</b> – The <i>Catalogue of the Vascular Plants of Madagascar</i> project aims to evaluate and enumerate the native and naturalized vascular plant flora of Madagascar. In light of the past two decades of intensive collecting and taxonomic work, all relevant published literature and available specimens are being reassessed in order to evaluate the taxonomic status and distribution of the native and naturalized taxa of vascular plants. Here we provide current figures for the total numbers of vascular plants and levels of endemism at the order, family, genus and species levels, comparing them to previous historical counts and analyzing the distribution of the non-endemic element of the flora. <b>Key Results</b> – At the time of writing (April 2010), more than a century after Baron first counted 4,100 species of vascular plants in Madagascar, the <i>Madagascar Catalogue</i> database had registered a total of 14,883 accepted names at all taxonomic levels (64 orders, 243 families, 1,730 genera, 11,220 species and 1,626 infraspecific taxa). Of the 11,220 species of vascular plants in Madagascar, 10,650 (95%) are angiosperms, of which 331 are naturalized introduced species. The remaining accepted indigenous angiosperm species total 10,319, of which 8,621 (84%) are endemic to Madagascar (82% endemism for all indigenous vascular plants). Among the 1,698 non-endemic species of indigenous angiosperms, a total of 1,372 (81%) also occur in Africa, of these 654 (39%) are present only in Africa and Madagascar.

Full textAbstract:
The present edition of the annotated checklist is a comprehensive catalogue of all vascular plant taxa: native and alien that occur in Iceland. The checklist features nearly 2500 taxa names, including ca. 1000 accepted names and more than 1400 synonyms and encompasses, apart from the updated list of native taxa, a complete and revised list of non-native plants (both naturalized and casual) as well as a number of more important cultivated species. According to the checklist, there are 426 native taxa in the Icelandic flora. Ten taxa have been classified as doubtfully native, ten taxa have been classified as non-native of unknown age and 19 taxa qualified as archaeophytes. There are at least 65 non-native taxa naturalized in the Icelandic flora. In total, there are 530 taxa able to form self-sustaining populations in Iceland. Apart from the main core, 282 taxa have been registered as casual aliens (not able to form self-sustaining populations). One species – Primula egaliksensis, has been classified as extinct. The list encompasses also 150 taxa excluded from the Icelandic flora, with brief explanations of the reasons that lead to the exclusion.

Full textAbstract:
Databases of biological collections contain fundamental information for the study of biodiversity, hence the importance of their quality, which includes the data on collectors. For this purpose, a list of the main vascular plant collectors in Mexico was constructed to improve the quality of this information. A total of 3.7 million records of vascular plant specimens collected in Mexico were analyzed from the National System of Biodiversity Information (Sistema Nacional de Información sobre Biodiversidad; SNIB) of the Mexican National Commission for the Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (Comisión Nacional para el Conocimiento y Uso de la Biodiversidad de México; Conabio) and the database of the National Herbarium of Mexico (Herbario Nacional de México; MEXU) of the Institute of Biology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). A “main collector” was considered anyone with 500 or more unique collection numbers in the database. A total of 610 main collectors were identified, who together contributed 83% of the records of vascular plants collected in Mexico, and a standardized list of their names is presented. The list of names of main collectors of vascular plants in Mexico is a useful tool for the cleaning and extraction of information from biodiversity databases.

Full textAbstract:
The first complete and updated checklist of vascular plants of Asian Russia is compiled. It is based on “Checklist of Flora of Asian Russia: Vascular Plants” (Baikov 2012) but incorporates numerous floristic, taxonomic and nomenclatural novelties. The territorial scope of the checklist is constituted by three federal districts of Russia (Ural, Siberian and Far Eastern). Sverdlovsk Oblast and Chelyabinsk Oblast are included in the checklist for the first time. Native, alien, naturalized, casual aliens and frequently cultivated (not found outside cultivation) taxa are included. The monotypic species concept is consistently followed. Species and nothospecies (interspecific hybrids) are distinguished; very closely related taxa are grouped into species aggregates. The generic concept of the Catalogue of Life (COL) is accepted to avoid conflicts between contrasting taxonomies. For accepted species, references are made to the corresponding taxonomy in Baikov (2012), COL and Plants of the World Online (POWO); in case of name changes, synonyms are provided. Further synonyms are added when deemed necessary to indicate taxonomic circumscriptions. Most important changes in nomenclature and taxonomy, recently described taxa and additions to the flora of Asian Russia are annotated. The occurrence and residence status (native, alien, cultivated) of species in 13 botanical provinces of Asian Russia are given. The vascular flora of Asian Russia includes 8251 species and 489 hybrids. Of these, 7340 species are native (+420 hybrids), 684 are alien (+46 hybrids) and 227 are cultivated (+23 hybrids). Altogether, 3683 species are assigned to one of 1156 species aggregates. Among native species, 1235 are endemic to Asian Russia; 252 species are included in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation. The whole vascular flora of Asian Russia is classified into 165 families, 1199 genera and 9 nothogenera. According to our estimations, the floristic richness of Asian Russia comprises 73.3 % of the Russian flora.

Full textAbstract:
An updated checklist of the vascular plants of Annobón Island (Equatorial Guinea) is presented. Two hundred and ninety-five taxa of Angiosperms in 211 genera and 68 families and 51 species of Pteridophytes in 31 genera and 18 families are listed from Annobón. The most represented families are Leguminosae (38 taxa), Gramineae (29 taxa) and Orchidaceae (28 taxa). In addition bibliographic references have been collated and checked. Thirty-eight species are included based on records from the literature where their distribution ranges suggest they should occur on Annobón. Fifty-four introduced species that have become naturalized are listed. Twenty-four taxa are recorded for the first time, three of which were not previously known for Equatorial Guinea. Peperomia blanda is recorded as a new for West Tropical Africa. At present 23 taxa are known to be endemic to Annobón or to Annobón and the islands of São Tomé or/and Príncipe. The percentage of endemic species is 7.8. The small area of Annobón and the strict application of conservation criteria indicated that every endemic of the island should be considered as threatened under IUCN guidelines. Species conservation assessments were undertaken for 23 taxa using IUCN criteria; 19 of these represent the first assessments for these species. The catalogue includes accepted names, synonyms and voucher specimens.

The catalogue of the vascular plants of South Tyrol: additions and corrections (9) The ninth article in the series again presents taxa that are new to the flora of South Tyrol or whose status has changed since the publication of the catalogue of the vascular plants in 2006. Due to the increase in the number of members of the “Flora of South Tyrol” working group, a comparatively large number of new records has been obtained in the last few years. Among the new finds are the adventitious and most likely established species Cotoneaster dielsianus, Elodea nutallii, Erigeron bonariensis, Oenothera adriatica, Oe. deflexa, Oe. cf. latipetala, Oe. oakesiana, Oe. royfraseri, Oe. stucchii, Verbascum sinuatum, the locally established cultural relics Cistus albidus and C. laurifolius, as well as the casual garden refugees Allium tuberosum, Aloë maculata, Carex muskingumensis, Chaenostoma cordatum, Eranthis hyemalis and Hyacinthoides non-scripta. Amsinckia menziesii, Ornithopus sativus and Sesamum indicum derived from seed mixtures or their impurities and are also unstable, while the mode of introduction appears unclear in the case of Scrophularia scopolii. The casuals Dracocephalum moldavica and Plantago coronopus have already been historically proven. The status of Sisymbrium austriacum and Delosperma cooperi, also classified as adventitious, and Juncus capitatus is unclear for the time being. Among the new finds to be classified as native are Sorbus austriaca and Ranunculus peltatus, the latter recently being proven to have historically occurred in South Tyrol. After many decades, the indigenous or archeophytic species Calamagrostis canescens, Centunculus minimus, Lathyrus aphaca, Orobanche minor, Papaver argemone, Plantago holosteum, Ranunculus sardous, Rorippa amphibia, Rumex aquaticus, R. pulcher and Scirpoides holoschoenus were found and reconfirmed, respectively. New occurrences of Crepis rhaetica, Plantago atrata, Potentilla multifida, Saxifraga cuneifolia and Trichophorum pumilum have been discovered, some of them far outside the previously known South Tyrolean distribution area.

Full textAbstract:
Native, endemic, and introduced vascular plants from the Galápagos Islands were processed for phytolith extraction. Modern plant specimens of 43 species were collected in the field considering the possible uses of these plant species during the first years of colonization of San Cristóbal Island, Galápagos (1860s). This comparative illustrated catalog is limited to test the production of phytoliths in useful endemic, native, and introduced plant taxa. The results provided the main elements to discriminate morphotypes from native and introduced plants in San Cristóbal. This catalog will guide future paleoethnobotanical research in the Galápagos and other archipelagos of the far eastern pacific islands.

Full textAbstract:
The current paper presents a nomenclatural checklist for vascular plants validated being (sub)endemic to and present in the flora of the Ukrainian Carpathians. This checklist is a part of the work targeted on an inventory of endemic plants distributed in the Ukrainian Carpathians. It is mainly based on the analysis of primary sources (i.e. original protologues and monographic works), but also uses the data provided in the recent online taxonomic aggregators, such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), Catalogue of Life (CoL), Plants of the World Online (POWO), Euro+Med PlantBase, World Flora Online (WFO) and others. Over 7,000 specimens deposited in the leading Ukrainian herbaria were also revised and used as a supporting data source during the work on the checklist.The checklist provides a revised nomenclature, including corrections on publication dates, rediscovered taxonomic protologues, corrected authorships and revised taxonomic status for (sub)endemic (sub)species of vascular plants occurring in the Ukrainian Carpathians. It contains 1,101 names, from which 78 species and subspecies have been accepted as valid and 1023 species and infraspecific taxa are provided as synonyms. It is completed with critical notes on the nomenclature of problematic taxa and brief annotations regarding their distribution in the Ukrainian Carpathians, indicating the endemicity range and sozological status for all analysed (sub)species.The current checklist is linked with the GBIF taxonomic backbone, provides notes on detected issues and primarily focuses on its update and correction of the nomenclatural issues and taxonomic inconsistencies, but also aims at discussing issues in other popular taxonomic databases.<i>Sabulina pauciflora</i> is proposed as a new combination to comply with a recent revision of the genus <i>Sabulina</i>.

Full textAbstract:
The Sierra de las Nieves National Park, declared by the Spanish Government in July 2021, is part of the Serranía de Ronda (Western Baetic mountains), which is considered one of the main centres of biodiversity and endemicity of the southern Iberian Peninsula (Andalusia, Spain) and the Mediterranean Basin. The park and its surroundings have an important diversity of vascular plants, mainly due to the orographic, climatic and geological diversity of the area, which is divided into three biogeographical sectors: Rondeño sector (limestones, dolomites and clays), Bermejense sector (peridotites and serpentines) and Aljíbico sector (gneisses and micaschists). This contribution presents the first catalogue of the vascular flora of this national park and its surrounding area, with 1,387 taxa distributed in 104 families and 542 genera. An amount of 79 taxa are endemic to Andalusia and 57 are endangered: 4 are Critically Endangered (CR), 17 are Endangered (EN) and 36 are Vulnerable (VU).

Phytotaxa 160, no. 1 (2014): 1. http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.160.1.1.
Full textAbstract:
A catalogue is presented of plant names in use in the Caatinga Phytogeographical Domain (CPD), the largest semiarid ecoregion of South America. We compiled all pubished papers we could locate with floristic and/or phytosociological data relating to the CPD and created a database of all site-based surveys, all names reported in these surveys and the basic ecological data associated with each species. We then mapped the names used in survey reports to those currently accepted in Brazil, consulting specialists to resolve taxonomic and nomenclatural issues before synthesizing the data in order to present here a list of all names in use. Thus this compilation represents the taxonomic data in use by generalist botanists on a sub continental scale. Synthesizing the previously dispersed ecological data available for the species, we explored general ecological patterns in the CPD. We also classified each survey as documenting the flora of a specific type of environment within the CPD and compared the general floristic resemblance between different environments within CPD on a biogeographical scale. Rarefaction curves and species richness estimator indices were employed in order to address the question as to whether or not the Caatinga Phytogeographical Domain can be described as well-sampled. To date over 1700 species have been reported in site-based floristic and phytosociological studies in the CPD. Most surveys focused only on woody plants, ignoring the non woody component, but we show here that a large proportion of the plant biodiversity in the Caatinga is comprised of non woody plants. We estimate that 40% of the existing species were not sampled by site-based surveys. Moreover, most of the species in our database were recorded from a single site, while a few species were considered widespread. When comparing the number of widespread species in our dataset to results published for the cerrado savannas, we show that species in Caatinga seems to have a much more restricted distribution than plants in the Cerrado. We present here a catalogue of all plant names recorded and discuss sampling and geographical issues related to the floristic study of Caatinga.

Full textAbstract:
Even though it is well known that the flora of Amazonia is severely under-documented, botanical research in the region has been stagnant for the past two decades or more. An exception to this trend has been the international collaboration in the state of Acre, Brazil. The objective of this study was to assess botanical progress in Southwestern Amazonia, specifically the evolution of our knowledge of the flora of the state of Acre five years after production of the first catalogue of its flora. Between 2006-2011, the Acre data-base recorded 2,110 determinations, and among these were 347 new records for Acre, representing an increase of 8.6% in the known flora, which as of 2011 comprised 4351 species. Of the new records, 6.6% (23) were new records for Brazil and 14.4% (50) represented genera new to Acre. The new records comprised 322 species of vascular plants and 22 of non-vascular plants. The most significant finding was that one of every six identifications was a new record for Acre; the total flora of Acre is estimated to be at about 8,000 species. Advances in documentation of the Acre flora have been achieved through institutional partnerships, attention to rescuing and “cleaning” data, mobilizing taxonomic specialists, distributing duplicates to herbaria with significant Amazon collections, and undertaking expeditions to regions of the state that were poorly known or unknown. Indeed, the botanical inventory of Amazonia overall and the management and conservation of the Amazon flora can be realized only through programs that are systematic, integrative and participatory. Every effort must be made to guarantee that the inventory of Amazonia proceeds at least as rapidly as deforestation and development. This necessarily means far greater investment in training, employing, and supporting the field work of productive taxonomists.

Full textAbstract:
The detailed analysis of origin of the Asplenium septentrionale (L.) Hoffm. specimens, deposited in the main collection of vascular plants’ herbarium in the SMNH NASU, has been carried out. Asplenium septentrionale (L.) Hoffm. – northern spleenwort – is a perennial fern of the genus Asplenium, the family Aspleniaceae, a Holarctic petrophilous species with a disjunctive Eurasian-North American natural range (Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia, Western Siberia, Mongolia, Himalayas, Far East, North America). Its localities are confined to petrophilic communities, mainly on granite outcrops devoid of calcium (rock crevices, rocky slopes, landslides, boulders, shady spruce forests, etc.), and the species rises to the upper mountain belt. In Ukraine, this species occurs within the Carpathians, the Crimea, Steppe (Prydniprovska and Azov uplands, Donetsk Ridge) and Forest-Steppe (Volynska and Prydniprovska uplands) zones, Polissya (occasionally in Volynske and Zhytomyrske Polissya). Asplenium septentrionale (L.) Hoffm. has been included into the official lists of regionally rare plants in many regions of Ukraine (Dnipropetrovska, Donetska, Zhytomyrska, Zaporizka, Ivano-Frankivska, Kyivska, Kirovohradska, Luhanska, Rivnenska, Chernivetska provinces and the Autonomous Republic of the Crimea). The main collection of the Herbarium of Vascular Plants in the SMNH NASU contains 26 herbarium specimens of A. septentrionale (L.) Hoffm., all being included into the electronic database "Biodiversity of Ukraine" (http://dc.smnh.org/) and digitized. The geography of the herbarium collections of A. septentrionale (L.) Hoffm., besides the modern territory of Ukraine (Dnipropetrovska (1901), Donetska (1939, 1947, 1965, 1966), Zhytomyrska (1949), Zakarpatska (1948, 1957, 1961, 1969), Ivano-Frankivska (1967), Kirovohradska (1900), Rivnenska (1948) provinces and the Autonomous Republic of the Crimea (1900)), has been represented also by the territories of Poland (1905), Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Romania (1905), Finland (1898) and the Russian Federation (North Ossetia, 1898). In descending order of the number of collected herbarium specimens with the participation of 16 collectors, the following series has been formed: Slobodian M. (3 herbarium specimens), Vainagii I. (2), Voloshchak E. (2), Hanieshyn S. (2), Lazebna A. (2), Malynovskyi K. (2), Zinger M. (2), Berko J. (1), Golde K. (1), Kotov M, Karnaukh E. (1), Markovych V. (1), Melnychuk V. (1), Rheman A. (1), Stoyko S. (1), Finn V. (1), Khrzhyzhanovskyi V., Lazebna A. (1), Shokhin V. (1). The chronology of the herbarium collections covers the period from 1898 to 1969. The earliest specimens (second half of the 19th century) were collected in Finland (V. Shokhin collection) and North Ossetia (V. Markovych collection).

Full textAbstract:
The Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A) format, based on the Darwin Core standard (Wieczorek et al. 2012), facilitates the exchange, management, and integration of biodiversity data from multiple sources. This ability to collate biodiversity data allows datasets to be aggregated at community-supported infrastructures, merged in different combinations, meta-analyzed and submitted to public repositories (Baker et al. 2014). Thus, the DwC-As serve as unifying archives in concatenated collective efforts, such as biodiversity inventories at different spatial and taxonomic scales.Here we describe PyDwCA*1, 2, a Python library implemented to handle the "star scheme" of DwC-A. This new library reads compressed zip files containing the expected meta.xml and uses it to assign the core component and its extensions. It also provides Python classes to define the core, the extensions, and the metadata file for creating an archive and writing it into a compressed zip file. PyDwCA also implements functionality to select, filter and merge DwC-A files.We present this new tool in the context of the construction of the Chilean National Biodiversity Inventory (Fig. 1), but PyDwCA serves as a versatile technical solution applicable to different contexts in the field of biodiversity informatics (e.g., integration of datasets from biological collection and sampling events). To exemplify how PyDwCA works, we present the step-by-step integration of the Chilean Catalogue of Vascular Plants (Rodriguez et al. 2018) on a matrix provided by the Catalogue of Life (Banki 2024), filtered with the species with occurrences recorded for Chile in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) (GBIF.Org 2023).

Full textAbstract:
We sequenced the sporophyte transcriptome of Killarney fern (Vandenboschia speciosa (Willd.) G. Kunkel). In addition to being a rare endangered Macaronesian-European endemism, this species has a huge genome (10.52 Gb) as well as particular biological features and extreme ecological requirements. These characteristics, together with the systematic position of ferns among vascular plants, make it of high interest for evolutionary, conservation and functional genomics studies. The transcriptome was constructed de novo and contained 36,430 transcripts, of which 17,706 had valid BLAST hits. A total of 19,539 transcripts showed at least one of the 7362 GO terms assigned to the transcriptome, whereas 6547 transcripts showed at least one of the 1359 KEGG assigned terms. A prospective analysis of functional annotation results provided relevant insights on genes involved in important functions such as growth and development as well as physiological adaptations. In this context, a catalogue of genes involved in the genetic control of plant development, during the vegetative to reproductive transition, in stress response as well as genes coding for transcription factors is given. Altogether, this study provides a first step towards understanding the gene expression of a significant fern species and the in silico functional and comparative analyses reported here provide important data and insights for further comparative evolutionary studies in ferns and land plants in general.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims at providing an updated checklist of the native vascular flora of the Palestinian West Bank and Gaza Strip (State of Palestine, SP), serving as a taxonomic and nomenclatural basis for botanical research and encouraging new floristic surveys and biosystematic studies. The study provides an up-to-date checklist of native vascular taxa of the SP and their distribution within the plant districts in the country. This is the very first annotated checklist for the native vascular plants of the SP which incorporates recent name changes, new distribution records, habitat, herbarium specimens catalouge, Red List criteria, wild edible plants, endemism and use in Traditional Palestinian Herbal Medicine. The quantitative analysis of the flora has shown that the SP hosts 1826 taxa, distributed in 686 genera and 108 families; five taxa are gymnosperms, nine taxa are Pteridophytes and 1812 taxa are angiosperms. The most represented families are Leguminosae (222 taxa, 12.2%), Asteraceae (197, 10.2%) and Poaceae (196, 10.7%), while the most represented genera are <i>Trifolium</i> (38, Leguminosae), <i>Silene</i> (32, Caryophyllaceae), <i>Astragalus</i> (27, Leguminosae), <i>Medicago</i> (26, Leguminosae), <i>Allium</i> (25, Amaryllidaceae) and <i>Euphorbia</i> (25, Euphorbiaceae). Annuals (52.4%), Hemicryptophytes (20.2%) and Chamaephytes (12.2%) are the most represented life-forms amongst the SP flora. The richest plant districts in the SP vascular plant taxa are Gaza Strip (GS) (1216 taxa), Jerusalem and Hebron Mountains (JHM) (1235) and Nablus Mountains (NM) (1126). Agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) permitted the division of SP into two main regions, based on the existence of vascular plant taxa: Region 1 (western plant districts with 1128-1237 taxa) with higher water availability and temperate Mediterranean climate which permit the establishment of more than 65% of the total SP flora in these districts and Region 2 (eastern plant districts with 571-698 taxa), characterised by desert and semi-desert conditions, as well as the presence of alluvial and co-alluvial soils, which allow the survival of lower numbers of plant taxa. One hundred and sixty-five taxa of the SP flora are endemic and near-endemic. However, in comparison with some countries of the Mediterranean Basin, this number is below the average endemism concentration, along with other southern arid countries, such as Tunisia and Egypt. In total, there are 102 threatened plant taxa, belonging to 39 families and 83 genera representing 5.6% of the total plants in the SP. IUCN and the Conservation Measures Partnership (CMP) unified classification of direct threats for SP Red-Listed plants has shown a high extinction risk to the Palestinian threatened wild flora, with 76.5% of the threatened species being either critically endangered (CR) or endangered (EN); only 23.5% were vulnerable (VU). However, several taxa are threatened by numerous factors including small population size, human activities, for example, conversion of traditional to intensive agriculture accompanied by deep ploughing and the application of pesticides, urban development and construction, global climatic change, drying of marshes and wetlands, quarrying, fires and pollution. This checklist can help focus conservation efforts and provide a framework for research, protection and policy applications for the SP flora, especially for the endemic and threatened plants.

The experimental devices used are 50*50 m (Martineau method, 2023) and 50*50 m (Blanc-étoc, 2023). All understorey species which reached a diameter greater or as equal as with 5,0 cm were numbered according to Letouzey (1982). In order to specify the phytoecological spectra (biological types, morphological types, diaspora types, temperament, leaves size and types). We used catalogue flora of vascular plants from Kisangani Districts and Tshopo Province in DR Congo. After analysis, it has been shown clearly that sarcochores, mesophylls, shade-tolerant species, simple trees and leaves are more or heavily observed and there is heterogeneity of understory species. It is noticed that the Martineau method has got 38 species and 22 families. Whereas Blanc-étoc, 30 species and 15 families. This proves that there is common remark between the two methods for ecosystem.

Abstract The botanical exploration of Bolivia during the last two centuries did not leave a botanical legacy in the country. Only towards the end of the 20th century Bolivia saw the start of the biology careers at its universities and the development of its own herbaria. Nowadays there are important herbaria in La Paz, Santa Cruz, Cochabamba and Sucre with collections ranging between 40,000 and 350,000 specimens. In 2014 a catalogue of the vascular flora of Bolivia was published under the auspices of the Missouri Botanical Garden, recording 15,345 species, of which 12,165 are native and 2,343 are endemic, while 694 are cultivated, 267 adventitious and 221 are naturalized. Endemic species of vascular plants add up to 2,343 species. The 286 families listed follow the APG III classification system. There are about 150 botanists in Bolivia interested in studying the country's rich flora. During a workshop organized in 2013 to promote a Flora of Bolivia, the participants established jointly a preliminary format for the taxonomic treatments. The Flora of Bolivia is planned to be an electronic, open access publication with international participation. The World Flora represents a challenge that must be tackled by circumscribing, verifying and recording all species known within our territory, and it is expected that it will have positive repercussions from and towards the ongoing Flora of Bolivia, in a similar way as the long running series of the Flora Neotropica has provided a wider picture that can be adapted and modified to fit our particular country.

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the floristic diversity, phytosociological spectra and geographical characteristics of the understorey of the old abandoned plantation of the Yangambi Biosphere Reserve, using the Martineau and Blanc-étoc silvicultural methods. This was done to fill gaps in our knowledge of the latter. The experimental setup consisted of 50*50 m (Martineau method, 2023) and 50*50 m (Blanc-étoc, 2023). All undergrowth species with a diameter of 5.0 cm or greater were inventoried using Letouzey's [1] established technique. Technical abbreviations were clearly explained upon first use. The websites www.tropicos.org and www.ville-ge.ch/musinfo/bd/cjb/africa and the catalogue-flora of vascular plants in the Kisangani and Tshopo districts of the DR Congo were consulted to determine the phytosociological and geographical spectrum. After analysis, it is apparent that the Strombosio-Parinarietea species carry more significance than other varieties found in Martineau and Musanga-Terminalietea in Blanc-étoc. Compared to the other vegetation types studied, our observations show that the endemic species from Guinea and Congo are more abundant in the understorey. Consequently, the study shows a complete geographical convergence, while phytosociologically there is a complete divergence between the two silvicultural methods observed.

The Cajas National Park (CNP) is located 30 km from the city of Cuenca (Ecuador), in the western Andean chain and occupies an area of almost 30,000 ha, between 3300-4450 m of altitude, and includes various ecosystems: subpáramo, herbaceous paramo and super-páramo, which include grasslands (dominant in CNP), wetlands, Polylepis sp. pl. and scrubs; above 4200 m, bush communities adapted to extreme edaphoclimatic conditions dominate. For the elaboration of the catalogue of the vascular flora of the CNP, we compiled, refined and analysed the information available in the herbaria of the University of Azuay (Cuenca, Ecuador) (HA), Missouri Botanical Garden (MO), Pontificia Universidad Católica de Ecuador (QCA) and Tropicos® database, with records of altitudes above 3300 m asl and our collections in the years 2012-2019. 666 species are documented, belonging to 264 genera and 89 botanical families; we describe their biological form (biotype), habitat, distribution ‒with special attention to endemic and non-native species‒ and degree of threat. Finally, the data for each of these criteria are jointly analysed and compared with other Andean mountain ranges. Dichondra macrocalyx Meisn. and Piptochaetium tovarii Sánchez Vega are reported for the first time in Ecuador.

Full textAbstract:
The Nature Conservancy Davis Mountains Preserve (DMP) is located 40 km northwest of Fort Davis, Texas, in the northeastern region of the Chihuahuan Desert and consists of some of the most complex topography of the Davis Mountains, including their summit, Mount Livermore, at 8378 ft (2554 m). The cool, temperate, "sky island" ecosystem caters to the requirements that are needed to accommodate a wide range of unique diversity, endemism, and vegetation patterns, including desert grasslands and montane savannahs. The current study began in May of 2011 and aimed to catalogue the entire vascular flora of the 18,360 acres of Nature Conservancy property south of Highway 118 and directly surrounding Mount Livermore. Previous botanical investigations are presented, as well as biogeographic relationships of the flora. The numbers from herbaria searches and from the recent field collections combine to a total of 2,153 voucher specimens, representing 483 species and infraspecies, 287 genera, and 87 families. The best-represented families are Asteraceae (89 species, 18.4% of the total flora), Poaceae (76 species, 15.7% of the total flora), and Fabaceae (21 species, 4.3% of the total flora). The current study represents a 25.44% increase in vouchered specimens and a 9.7% increase in known species from the study area’s 18,360 acres and describes four endemic and fourteen non-native species (four invasive) on the property. The subsequent analysis of the results, compared to those of previous regional-flora catalogues, presents the flora of the DMP as one that is unique to the higher elevations and igneous substrates of western Texas and the northern Chihuahuan Desert. Multiple influences from overlapping and neighboring ecoregions, including the Great Plains, Madrean, and Sonoran provinces, are all seen to have varying degrees of authority in regards to the shaping of the modern-day vegetation.

Full textAbstract:
Polygala mascatense Boiss. (family Polygalaceae) is a common weed found in neglected farms, under date palm trees, and in stony locations throughout the Sultanate of Oman (1). It is a perennial herb approximately 30 to 40 cm tall, has slender branches, is woody at the base, and has linear leaves with purple flowers. Recently (November 2004), in the interior region of Oman (210 km south of Muscat), some polygala plants were found stunted with small leaves, bushy growth, and the floral parts were showing phyllody symptoms. Total genomic DNA extracted from asymptomatic and symptomatic plants with modified cetyltrimethylammoniumbromide (CTAB) buffer method (4) was used as a template for direct polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of phytoplasma 16S rDNA with P1/P7 primers. Direct PCR product was used as template DNA for nested PCR with primers R16F2n/R16R2. DNA from plants infected with alfalfa and lime witches'-broom phytoplasma was used as positive controls, and DNA from healthy plants and water was used as negative controls. Products from nested PCR (1.2 kb) were analyzed by using single endonuclease enzyme digestion (restriction fragment length polymorphism [RFLP]) with Tru9I, HaeIII, HhaI, TaqI, AluI, and RsaI (3). The results showed the presence of a 1.8-kb product amplified with direct PCR and a 1.2-kb product of the nested PCR from infected polygala and the positive controls, whereas no PCR products were observed in the negative controls. The PCR assay confirmed the presence of phytoplasma causing witches'-broom disease in polygala. The RFLP results showed the polygala phyto-plasma to be most similar to the alfalfa phytoplasma, a member of 16SrII group (2). Infected polygala weeds may serve as a reservoir for alfalfa witches'-broom phytoplasma that causes annual losses over $25 million to alfalfa cultivation in Oman (2). A detailed investigation needs to be carried out to establish transmission of phytoplasma from polygala to alfalfa. To our knowledge, this is the first report of phytoplasma infecting polygala weeds in Oman. References: (1) S. A. Ghazanfar. Pages 95–96 in: An Annotated Catalogue of the Vascular Plants in Oman.

<strong>Objective </strong> – to conduct a system analysis, establish a sozological status and determine the ability to reproduce natural and introduced rare species of herbaceous plants from the Olexandria arboretum collection. <strong>Material and methods.</strong> On the inventory studies it was found the species composition of natural and cultured rare species due to the Catalogue of herbaceous plants we find out the year of introduction. Data of the research of sozological status have been studied by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants…(2016), European Red List of vascular plants (2011), the Red Book of Ukraine (2009), the Regional list of Kyiv Region (2012). <strong>Results.</strong> Rarity faction of herbaceous plants of collection of the dendrological park Olexandria has 151 species consisting of 3 divisions, 4 classes, 48 families and 99 genera, to the class <em>Magnoliopsida </em>belong 84 (56 %) species, to class <em>Liliopsida </em> – 62. According to results of sozological analysis, 57 (38 %) species are protected by the Red List of IUCN, 48 (32 %) – by European Red List, 75 (50 %) – by the Red Book of Ukraine, 24 (16 %) – by the Regional lists of Kyiv region. For most species the rarity status in international lists is classified as LC (which cause the least concern). Among the species that are protected by the Red Book of Ukraine 1 species is classified as “extinct in nature”, 11 species as “endangered”, 28 as “vulnerable”, 16 as “rare”; and 18 species as “invaluable”, 6 species are relicts, 13 – endemics, 2 – endemic and relict. 8 species are protected species by 3 lists, 43 species are included in to the 2 lists. Among rare species of herbaceous plants 54 (36 %) species are of local origin, 97 species are introduced. Under conditions of the dendrological park Olexandria they preserved innate life form, 109 (72 %) species among them produce spores and seeds annually. <strong>Conclusions.</strong> According to evaluation of stability of introduction species in the dendrological park Olexandria the most stable are 18 (19 %) species, are renewed by self – and seedling and vegetatevely, can form the introduction populations, 30 (31 %) species are perspective for growing in the conditions of the dendropark Olexandria, their number doesn’t decrease, and 7 (7 %) species are unpromising or has a little perspective, numbers of which are decrease. The species that are cultivated for less than 5 years are included in this group too.

Full textAbstract:
Taxonomic names are critical to the communication of biodiversity—they link data together whether it be distribution data, traits or phylogeny. Large taxonomic groups, such as many plant families, are globally distributed as is the taxonomic expertise of the family. A growing knowledge base requires collaboration to develop an up-to-date checklist as a research foundation. The legume (Fabaceae) community has a strong history of collaboration including the International Legume Database and Information Service (ILDIS), which curated the names but ILDIS is no longer up to date. In 2020, under the umbrella of the Legume Phylogeny Working Group (LPWG), a group of taxonomists began updating the legume taxonomy as part of a larger collaboration around a legume data portal.Currently the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) is the most up-to-date reference and was used as the starting point for the project. The workflow begins with over 80 volunteer taxonomic experts updating the checklist in their specialty area. These lists are manually collated, centrally creating a consensus taxonomy with synonyms. Any taxonomic conflicts are adjudicated within the group. The checklist then undergoes a comprehensive nomenclature assessment at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and becomes part of the WCVP. This checklist was submitted to the Catalogue of Life Checklist Bank and is integrated as the preferred legume checklist in the GBIF taxonomic backbone.After one round of taxonomic curation, 38% of the legume names in GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility), which were previously unmatched to WCVP, are now connected to GBIF names, therefore also improving the occurrence records of those species. The GBIF taxonomic backbone contains names found on herbarium specimens and in the literature, which are not currently part of the legume expert community checklist or WCVP. This list of unresolved names will be forwarded to the legume community for curation, thereby developing a cycle of data improvement. It is anticipated that after a few rounds of expert curation, the WCVP and GBIF taxonomies will converge. At each cycle, a snapshot of GBIF occurrences is taken and the improvement of the occurrences is quantified to measure the value of the expert taxonomic work. The current checklist is also available via Catalogue of Life and soon via the World Flora Online to support research. In this talk, we describe the workflow and impact of the expert curated legume taxonomy.

RESUMEN. Catálogo florístico del macizo de Líbar (Parques Naturales Sierra de Grazalema y losAlconocales, Málaga-Cádiz, España). El Macizo de Líbar es uno de los conjuntos montañosos másimportantes de la Serranía de Ronda y Andalucía Occidental. Su principal característica orográficaes la presencia de dos alineaciones montañosas que encierran una gran depresión intramontañosadenominada genéricamente los Llanos de Líbar. La vegetación dominante en los terrenos de naturalezacaliza la constituye el encinar, mientras que el alcornocal lo es de aquellas zonas donde afloran lasareniscas del Aljibe. A estas formaciones vegetales se suman otras como los quejigales, acebuchales,algarrobales, fresnedas, olmedas, adelfares y diversas formaciones de matorral. La climatología quedamarcada por ser una de las zonas con mayor precipitación de la Península Ibérica y por unastemperaturas bastante suaves durante todo el año, aunque en las zonas más altas la media anual seaproxima a los 10 ºC. Para llevar a cabo el estudio florístico del Macizo de Líbar se han realizadorecolecciones durante cinco años, en las que se ha pretendido herborizar la mayor parte del macizo,además de una revisión bibliográfica y consultas de los pliegos depositados en herbarios. El catálogoflorístico del Macizo de Líbar está formado por 826 taxones. De estos, 128 son endemismos, repartidosen endemismos ibéricos, ibero-mauritanos, bético, béticos-mauritanos, y rondeños. Son endemismosRondeños Linaria platycalyx, Reseda gayana subsp. undata, Saxifraga bourgeana, entre otros. Treceespecies están protegidas según la Ley de Flora y Fauna Silvestres de Andalucía y 32 taxones estánincluidos en la lista Roja de la Flora Vascular de Andalucía.Palabras claves.

Malaga-Cadiz, Spain). The Mountain of Líbar is one of the most important rangesof the mountainous area of Ronda and Western Andalusia. Its main orographic characteristic is thepresence of two mountainous alignments that delimit a great intramountainous depression denominatedLlanos de Líbar. The Quercus rotundifolia wood is the main vegetation in limestone lands, whereasthe Q. suber forest is dominant in sandstone zones. Other plants communities present in this area aredominated by Q. faginea, Olea europaea, Ceratonia siliqua, Fraxinus angustifolia, Ulmus minor,Nerium oleander and other shrublands. This is one of the zones with highest rainfall in the IberianPeninsula and with mild temperatures, although in the summits, the annual average temperature, decreases near 10 ºC. In order to carry out the botanical study, samplings have been made during fiveyears, in addition to a bibliographical revision and review of biodiversity databases. The botanicalcatalogue of Líbar is composed by 826 species, 128 are endemic species with different distributionarea. Linaria platycalyx, Reseda gayana subsp. undata or Saxifraga bourgeana are endemic from thearea of Ronda. 13 species are protected according to the Law of Wild Flora and Fauna of Andalusiaand 32 species are included in the plants Red List of Andalusia.Key words.

Full textAbstract:
Plant species diversity may be seriously threatened in ecotone zones under global climate change. Therefore, keeping updated inventories of indicator species seems to be a good strategy for monitoring wild areas located in these strips. The database comes from an inventory of climbers and vascular epiphytes conducted in the Cerro Ñielol Natural Monument, a small protected area (89 hectares) located in Chile's Mediterranean-temperate phytogeographic region, within the boundaries of the city of Temuco, La Araucaína Region.The data represent the update of the first inventory carried out between 1980 and 1984. In this current contribution, data collection was carried out in 27 quadrats using the trails as transects. The data provide the record of 45 species (16 climbers, 15 epiphytes and 10 trees), including two accidental epiphytes (<i>Acer psudoplatanus</i> L. and <i>Gavilea odoratissima</i> (L.) Endl. ex Griseb.), two species that can be found as epiphytes or terricolous (<i>Hymenophyllum tunbrigense</i> (L.) Sm. and <i>Nertera granadensis</i> (Mutis ex L.f.) Druce) and one species (<i>Chusquea quila</i> Kunth) that can be found as terricolous and climber. Species of interest were recorded on live trees (n = 51), snags (n = 9), stumps (n = 4), fallen log (n = 5) and on the forest soil (n = 17).The most abundant climbers were <i>Hydrangea serratifolia</i> (Hook. & Arn.) F. Phil. (n = 77 stems), <i>Lapageria</i> rosea Ruiz & Pav. (n = 70 stems), <i>Raukaua valdiviensis</i> (Gay) Frodin (n = 48 stems) and <i>Cissus striata</i> Ruiz & Pav. (n = 33 stems). In contrast, the most abundant epiphytes were <i>Hymenophyllum plicatum</i> Kaulf. (n = 1728 fronds) and <i>Hymenophyllum tunbrigense</i> (L.) Sm. (n = 2375 fronds). These latter two species represent the highest frequency and abundance in the whole inventory, respectively. Several ecosystem traits are, in fact, new reports since the first inventory was conducted in 1980-1984; for example, the presence of the filmy fern <i>Hymenophyllum tunbrigense</i>, the record of the climber <i>Elytropus chilensis</i> , fallen logs or the species-host relationship. Accordingly, the database is made available in this manuscript.This study updates the climbers and vascular epiphyte species list in the Cerro Ñielol Natural Monument, a small patch of forest under severe anthropogenic pressure. This protected area is characterised by floristic elements of the Mediterranean and temperate phytogeographic region of Chile, in a zone where forests have been severely deforested. The database includes the record of 45 species – including six species that were not recorded in the first inventory – in 211 records.The main novelty of this contribution is the systematic classification of species, on ten traits rarely reported in a floristic inventory: (i) species taxonomic identity (as usual), (ii) species abundance (number of stems and fronds), (iii) habit (herb, shrub, subshrub, tree), (iv) growth form (accidental epiphyte, epiphyte, vine, liana, terricolous), (v) climbing mechanism (tendrils, adhesive roots, twining, scrambling), (vi) microhabitat (fallen log, footpath slope, soil, stump, trunk), (vii) host species (where appropriate), (viii) host condition (live, woody debris, snag), (ix) host diameter at breast height (DBH) and (x) target species found over 2.3 m on trees.Thirty years after the first inventory conducted between 1980 and 1984, the climber assemblage has remained relatively stable over time, although there are some differences in species composition. Specifically, the climber <i>Elytropus chilensis</i> are recorded in the current inventory, but the <i>Mitraria coccinea</i> (recorded in the first inventory) is not present. On the other hand, the epiphyte assemblage showed an increase in the species richness of filmy ferns, with five previously unrecorded species: <i>Hymenophyllum cuneatum</i>, <i>H. dicranotrichum</i>, <i>H. pectinatum</i>, <i>H. peltatum</i> and <i>H. tunbrigense</i>. One of the novel features was the presence of <i>Sarmienta scandens</i> and <i>Synammia feuillei</i> on a <i>Pinus radiata</i> D. Don tree. Additionally, the introduced species <i>Acer pseudoplatanus</i> is included, which is new to the Chilean vascular plant catalogue. All these data are available in the present manuscript.
