Integrative taxonomy and phylogeny of leafless Vanilla orchids from the South-West Indian Ocean region reveal two new Malagasy species

Cathucia F. Andriamihaja et al.

Summary: The leafless Vanilla species complex from the South-West Indian Ocean has always been a taxonomic challenge. A recent study using genetic and morphological data has identified nine species in the region, including two new species from Madagascar.

Diploids and polyploids in the Santolina chamaecyparissus complex (Asteraceae) show different karyotype asymmetry

Antonio Giaco et al.

Summary: In this study, a traditional karyomorphological approach was used to investigate the cytotaxonomic relationships among the species of the Santolina chamaecyparissus complex. Chromosome number, total haploid length, and karyotype asymmetry indices were calculated for each species. The results showed that polyploids have a more asymmetric karyotype compared to diploids. Chromosome data were provided for S. benthamiana and S. vedranensis for the first time, and a new hexaploid cytotype was reported for S. villosa.

An Integrated Taxonomic Approach Points towards a Single-Species Hypothesis for Santolina (Asteraceae) in Corsica and Sardinia

Paola De Giorgi et al.

Summary: This study investigated the taxonomy of plant species Santolina, commonly known as lavender-cotton. It found that two putative species from Corsica and Sardinia are actually very similar and should be reclassified as a single species. The study highlights the importance of integrating different sources of information for reliable taxonomic hypotheses and contributes to our understanding of plant evolution in the Mediterranean Basin.

Different chromosome numbers but slight morphological differentiation and genetic admixture among populations of the Pulmonaria hirta complex (Boraginaceae)

Lijuan Liu et al.

Summary: Hybridization and introgression have a significant impact on the taxonomically controversial genus Pulmonaria. The P. hirta complex shows complex systematic relationships and phenotypic differences in southern Europe, with molecular and morphological evidence of hybrid origin and gene flow between different clades. Despite some morphological differentiation, there are intermediate features between different morphs, indicating ongoing gene flow between these taxa.

Genome Size Variation in Dianthus sylvestris Wulfen sensu lato (Caryophyllaceae)

Ana Terlevic et al.

Summary: The study on genome size variation in Dianthus sylvestris populations from the Balkan Peninsula and the European Alps revealed significant differences between diploid and tetraploid populations, with tetraploids showing genome downsizing and distinct morphological and environmental characteristics compared to diploids. There is geographical and partial taxonomical correlation in relative genome size within diploid populations, with higher RGS in the southern Balkan Peninsula and the Alps. Greater RGS variation was observed among Balkan populations compared to the Alps, indicating more pronounced evolutionary differentiation in the Balkan Peninsula, while deep RGS divergence in the Alps suggests persistence of alpine populations in different Pleistocene refugia.

Integrative Taxonomy of Armeria arenaria (Plumbaginaceae), with a Special Focus on the Putative Subspecies Endemic to the Apennines

Manuel Tiburtini et al.

Summary: Armeria arenaria has three subspecies reported in Italy, two of which are considered endemic to the Apennines. The taxonomic value of these two taxa is unclear. This study used an integrated taxonomic approach and identified A. arenaria subsp. praecox as the proper classification for all Italian records of A. arenaria s.str. Only one subspecies, A. arenaria subsp. marginata, can be recognized as endemic to the Northern Apennines.

Typification and nomenclature of the names in the Santolina chamaecyparissus species complex (Asteraceae)

Antonio Giaco et al.

Summary: A nomenclatural revision of the Santolina chamaecyparissus species complex was conducted, typifying 28 new names and discussing the current usage of S. villosa and S. ericoides names in Spanish and French populations. The name S. villosa is now applied to a taxon endemic to Spain, while S. ericoides is applied to populations traditionally referred to as S. villosa in Spain and France.

Typification of the names Santolina ericoides and S. villosa (Asteraceae) revisited

P. Pablo Ferrer-Gallego et al.

Summary: This study revisits the typification of the species names Santolina ericoides and S. villosa, providing a brief discussion on the recent neotypifications. The authors carefully evaluated relevant sources, specimens, and references to fix the application of the names, ultimately choosing and designating the best admissible lectotype for these two names from the original material.
