Publication History and Lectotypification of Mentzelia Arborescens (Loasaceae)
Novon, 2007 ABSTRACT The confusing publication history of the name Mentzelia arborescens Urban & Gilg is clarified. The first publication of the name by I. Urban in 1892 referred only to a floral diagram and should not be considered as valid publication. Subsequently, the name was taken up by E.

Chromosome Counts and Taxonomy of Mentzelia thompsonii (Loasaceae)
Madroño, 2011 Abstract The species Mentzelia thompsonii Glad was published in 1976 based solely on herbarium material, and it is the only species in Mentzelia section Trachyphytum that has not been examined cytogenetically. Here we report that M. thompsonii is diploid (2n = 18), making it the easternmost diploid species in section Trachyphytum and the only one that ...

Name Changes in the Mentzelia multicaulis Complex (Loasaceae)
Novon, 2009 Results from molecular phylogenetic analyses indicate that three varieties of Mentzelia multicaulis (Osterhout) J. Darlington (Loasaceae) are more closely related to other species of Mentzelia sect. Bartonia Torrey & A. Gray than to M. multicaulis var. multicaulis. We elevate three varieties of M.

Edaphic Specialization in the Cryptic Species Mentzelia monoensis (Loasaceae)
Madroño, 2015 Abstract Mentzelia monoensis J. M. Brokaw & L. Hufford is a cryptic hexaploid species known only from Mono County, California. Previous studies have suggested a recent allopolyploid origin of M. monoensis but have not investigated the causes of its narrow distribution.
