Madagasikaria (Malpighiaceae): a new genus from Madagascar with implications for floral evolution in Malpighiaceae [PDF]

American Journal of Botany, 2002
Madagasikaria andersonii is described here as a new genus and species of Malpighiaceae from Madagascar. The phylogenetic placement of Madagasikaria was estimated by using combined data from ndhF and trnL‐F chloroplast sequences and phytochrome (PHYC) and ITS nuclear sequences.

Patterns of Tree Species Abundance and Diversity on Urban Sidewalks in Macapá, Amapá, Brazil

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
This study presents the first systematic inventory of street trees in Macapá, Northeastern Brazilian Amazon. Results reveal a dominance of exotic and fruit‐bearing species, low tree density, and a replacement of large canopy trees by smaller ones, indicating potential losses in ecosystem services and the need for more biodiversity‐focused afforestation

Integrative phylogenomics and morphology reveal the evolution and biogeography of Encephalartos (Zamiaceae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 295-312, March 2026.
We aimed to conduct phylogenetic analyses of Encephalartos, a cycad genus endemic to Africa, using 3545 single‐copy nuclear genes extracted from transcriptome data, covering 64/65 of the recognized species, along with inference of divergence times using two secondary calibration points.

Elaiophores: their taxonomic distribution, morphology and functions

Acta Botânica Brasílica
Elaiophores are floral glands that secrete non-volatile oils as a reward for their pollinators. Their secretions mediate a specialized interaction between oil-producing plants and a few species of oil-collecting bees - Apidae and Melittidae.

Pericarp structure in Banisteriopsis C.B.Rob. and Diplopterys A.Juss. (Malpighiaceae): new data supporting generic segregation Estrutura do pericarpo de Banisteriopsis C.B.Rob. e Diplopterys A.Juss. (Malpighiaceae): novos dados suportando a segregação genérica

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2012
Molecular studies have indicated that some species of Banisteriopsis would be more appropriately placed in Diplopterys. Both of these genera are neotropical members of the Malpighiaceae, a family that is widely diverse in South America, especially in the

A mosaic of colors: The influence of biotic and abiotic factors shaping flower color diversity across a tropical mountain ecosystem

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Premise Flower color diversity within communities is shaped by biotic and abiotic factors. Pollinators often prefer specific colors, and floral pigments also help protect against abiotic factors such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, precipitation, and temperature.

Pterandric Acid – its Isolation, Synthesis and Stereochemistry

Natural Product Communications, 2015
Some plant families have a specialized type of pollination system, with floral lipid rewards for pollinators, which is common. In neotropical Malpighiaceae species like Pterandra pyroidea , this specialized type of pollination system is apparently ...

Fire‐induced disturbances in Malpighiaceae sequential flowering: Implications for pollination services and plant reproductive success

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our study demonstrates that fire has a strong influence on flowering phenology and reproductive dynamics in Malpighiaceae species from the Brazilian Cerrado. Specifically, fire triggered an earlier onset of flowering and promoted a more synchronous and widespread blooming, resulting in a temporary surge in floral resource availability. This increase in
