Abstract
New synonyms and lectotypes in Sida sect. Cordifoliae (Malvaceae, Malveae) are proposed here and reveal the first record and extension of the distribution area of Sida maculata to the Brazilian semi-arid region. The species was first described in the 18th century for the Caribbean islands of Cuba and the Dominican Republic and for a long time was confused with S. cordifolia, from which it is unquestionably distinct in its leaves, inflorescences and flowers. In Brazil, S. maculata is widely distributed from Maranhão to the north of Minas Gerais and was identified for almost a century in herbaria and local floristic treatments as S. galheirensis. Discussions and photographs of types of S. maculata and related taxa are presented, as well as an updated map of the species’ geographical distribution.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
