Taxonomy of a novel and a new geographical record of Nigropunctata species (Pallidoperidiaceae) on Bambusa vulgaris from northern Thailand

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Nigropunctata is an understudied genus of bambusicolous fungi, and its diversity in Thailand remains poorly known. This study aimed to investigate species of Nigropunctata associated with bamboo in Thailand using morphological observations along with multi‐locus phylogenetic analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), large subunit (LSU), RNA ...

Mazus dabieshanensis sp. nov. (Mazaceae) from eastern China

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Mazus dabieshanensis, a newly described species endemic to the Dabieshan Mountains in eastern China, is illustrated and described. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear and chloroplast DNA sequences consistently demonstrate that this new species forms a stable clade with other Mazus species characterized by a pubescent ovary. Morphologically,

Life history stability under climate change: a wildflower at the northern edge of its range

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Stabilities of life history traits for a widespread native perennial wildflower, Rudbeckia laciniata L., are described for five populations near the northern edge of its range in North America. Theory proposes that such populations experience variable levels of stress as suitable abiotic conditions shift north or south from year to year, which ...

Two new species of Calea ser. Multiplinerviae (Asteraceae: Neurolaeneae) from Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Detailed studies of specimens from Rondônia and Mato Grosso do Sul showed that two new species have been misidentified: Calea micropappa resembles Calea pilosa, but differs by leaf apex obtuse to acuminate (versus acute), paleae present (versus paleae absent), disc corolla lobes 1.2–1.3 mm long (versus 0.7–0.8 mm), and pappus scales 0.1–0.25 mm long ...

Electronic supplementary material from The use and misuse of herbarium specimens in evaluating plant extinction risks.

, 2018
Herbarium specimens provide verifiable and citable evidence of the occurrence of particular plants at particular points in space and time, and are vital resources for assessing extinction risk in the tropics, where plant diversity and threats to plants are greatest.

Two new endemic species of Portulaca (Portulacaceae) from the Brazilian Pampa grasslands

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Portulaca L. is a monophyletic, cosmopolitan genus of succulent plants comprising ca 153 species, with particularly high diversity in xerophytic ecosystems in tropical and subtropical regions. Based on morphological evidence, we describe and illustrate two new species from the Brazilian Pampa, Portulaca guaritensis and Portulaca guenoa.
