Abstract
Abstract A comprehensive taxonomic treatment for the New World genus Duranta L. (Duranteae, Verbenaceae) is presented for the first time. The genus consists of shrubs or small trees that are largely distributed in the Neotropics. The analyses of the morphological features support the recognition of 31 Duranta species. Duranta repens L. var. canescens Moldenke and D. mutisii L. f. serrulata Moldenke are elevated to the species rank. The previously misunderstood identity of D. obtusifolia Kunth is here untangled and properly discussed, while D. buxifolia Poir., endemic to the Caribbean, and D. xalapensis Kunth, endemic to Mexico, are resurrected from the synonymy of D. triacantha Juss. and D. erecta L., respectively. Eight taxa are here synonymized: D. brachypoda Tod. (= D. erecta), D. repens var. lopez-palacii Moldenke (= D. canescens P. Moroni), D. repens var. serrata Moldenke (= D. stenostachya Tod.), D. sprucei Briq. var. breviracemosa Moldenke (= D. mutisii), D. arida subsp. serpentina R. W. Sanders & Judd (= D. arida Britton & P. Wilson), D. peruviana var. longipedicellata Moldenke (= D. peruviana Moldenke), D. parvifolia Moldenke (= D. vestita), and D. vestita var. glabrescens Moldenke (= D. vestita Cham.). Duranta cajamarcensis Moldenke and D. parviflora Turcz. are reclassified as belonging to genera Citharexylum L. and Priva Adans., respectively. Lectotypes are designated for the names D. recurvistachys Rusby (second-step), D. rostrata Pasq., and D. xalapensis Kunth. Furthermore, D. penlandii Moldenke is reported for the first time in Colombia.
摘要本文首次对新世界马鞭草属(Duranta L., Duranteae,马鞭草科)进行了综合分类处理。该属由灌木或小树组成,主要分布在新热带地区。形态特征的分析支持了31种榴梿属植物的识别。龙葵(Duranta repens L. var. canescens Moldenke)和龙葵(D. mutisii L. f.s serrulata Moldenke)上升到种级。在此,先前被误解的buxifolia Kunth的身份得到了澄清和适当的讨论,而buxifolia Poir。加勒比地区特有的D. xalapensis Kunth,墨西哥特有的,是从D. triacantha Juss的同义词复活的。和D. erecta L.分别。八个分类群在这里同义:d.b rachypoda Tod。(= D. erecta), D. repens var. lopez-palacii Moldenke (= D. canescens P. Moroni), D. repens var. serrata Moldenke (= D. stenostachya Tod.), D. sprucei Briq。短毒蝇变种Moldenke (= D. mutisii),短毒蝇亚科。serpentina R. W. Sanders & Judd (= D. arida Britton & P. Wilson),长花梗紫杉变种Moldenke (= D. peruviana Moldenke),花梗紫杉变种Moldenke (= D. vestita)和无毛紫杉变种Moldenke (= D. vestita Cham)。木兰花与小木兰花。被重新分类为属Citharexylum L.和Priva Adans。,分别。选型被指定为D. recurvistachys Rusby(第二步),D. rostrata Pasq。D. xalapensis Kunth。此外,在哥伦比亚首次报道了D. penlandii Moldenke。
期刊介绍:
The Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden is a quarterly international journal primarily devoted to systematic botany and evolutionary biology. We encourage submissions of original papers dealing with significant advances in the taxonomy, phylogeny, biogeography, paleobiology, and evolution of plants, and in conservation genetics and biology, restoration ecology, and ethnobiology, using morphological and/or molecular characters, field observations, and/or database information. We also welcome reviews and papers on conceptual issues and new methodologies in systematics. Important floristic works will also be considered. Symposium proceedings discussing a broader range of topical biological subjects are also published, typically once a year. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed by qualified and independent reviewers.
