Jasminanthes xuanlienensis (Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae), a new species from Vietnam [PDF]
Jasminanthes xuanlienensis (Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae), a new species from Vietnam is described, illustrated and compared with its five congeners. Jasminanthes xuanlienensis differs distinctly from congeners by the longer peduncles (14-18 cm vs. 4 cm at most in Jasminanthes pilosa and Jasminanthes saxatilis, salmon-pink color of the inner corolla ...

Inverted repeats dynamics shape Asclepiadoideae (Apocynaceae) Chloroplast genomes: effects on genome size, gene content, structural arrangement, and mutation rate. [PDF]
Comparative analyses of chloroplast (cp.) genomes in Asclepiadoideae (Apocynaceae) have previously revealed genome size and gene content variation, primarily linked to inverted repeats (IRs) expansion or contraction and pseudogene formations.

Taxonomic Changes in American Metastelminae (Apocynaceae-Asclepiadoideae)
One new species of Cynanchum from Ecuador is described, C. schizocoronum Liede & Meve, distinguished by its entirely fused corona with pronounced interstaminal folds and a strongly lacerate upper margin. One South American Cynanchum species is transferred to Oxypetalum, one to Blepharodon, two to Jobinia, two to Metastelma, two to Petalostelma, and one

Complete plastome genome of Pergularia tomentosa L. (Asclepiadoideae, Apocynaceae). [PDF]
Pergularia tomentosa is a medicinal plant mainly found in Saudi Arabia, northern and southern Africa. In this study, we present the sequence of the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of P. tomentosa in order to evaluate the evolutionary relationship in the subfamily Asclepiadoideae. The cp is 164,213 bp in lengh with 37.3% GC content, inverted repeat (IR)

Gymnemaphuquocense (Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae), a new species from Vietnam. [PDF]
A new species of Gymnema from Vietnam – G. phuquocense – is described, illustrated, and compared with the similar G. yunnanense. Gymnema phuquocense differs from G. yunnanense by the length of peduncle (3–4 mm vs. 10–13 mm), hairs on corolla lobe margin (absent vs. present), shape of seed (broadly ovate vs.
