A new species of Mahabalella B. Sutton & S. D. Patil was isolated from decaying leaves of an unidentified plant, during a survey in the Charles Darwin Ecological Refuge in Igarassu, Pernambuco, Brazil, in June 2018. The new species is morphologically distinguishable from the other Mahabalella species by the size of their conidia, conidiogenous cells and setae. In this study, the morphological descriptions, illustrations and cultural characteristics for Mahabalella pernambucana are provided, as well as a key to species of this genus. Total DNA from the isolate was extracted, and four genes were partially sequenced (nLSU, ITS cluster, TEF1 alpha, and beta tubulin). Based on the nLSU analysis, the phylogenetic position of the new species was determined within the Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota, as a sister genus to Neotracylla , in the Tracyllaceae family.

A new species of Annonaceae, Duguetia leucotricha M.L.Bazante & Maas, from lowland to submontane forests of southern Bahia, Brazil, is described. It differs from other species of the genus mainly by the dense greyish white stellate hairs on vegetative and reproductive structures, rather widely-spaced flowers, the large bract in the upper part of the well-developed pedicel, sepals and petals almost equal in length, and the few-carpellate fruits with rounded apex of the areoles. Commentaries concerning its morphological aspects and relationships of affinity, geographic distribution, conservation status and photos are provided, as well as a key to all Atlantic Coastal Forest species of Duguetia .

The growth in the number of molecular sequences produced in recent years has provided valuable contributions to the knowledge diversity of red algae (Rhodophyta) in Brazil. However, many works indicate that there is still much to be studied. Here, we highlight the importance of compiling all these data to evidence possible taxonomic and geographic knowledge gaps in red algae through molecular data. So, this study presents a scientometric analysis of the molecular studies carried out on red algae in Brazil, based on the analysis of DNA sequences available in the public database GenBank. Our results demonstrated an increase in published papers from 1994 to 2020, corresponding to 165 studies analyzed. A huge disparity in the production of knowledge was observed, with the southeastern region concentrating the researchers responsible for most of the published studies, with emphasis on those in the University of São Paulo (USP). Bahia and São Paulo states stand out with the highest observed taxonomic richness, respectively. We also could identify the taxonomic groups with more molecular data generated, the sequence number deposited per institution since 1994, the main markers used, the regions that require a greater collection effort, and where the researchers who study red algae in the country are.

Calilegua National Park is located in the Southeast of the province of Jujuy, Argentina. It is comprised of different districts within the Yungas Biogeographic Province, where conditions are optimal for fern development. The palynological studies with light microscopy in this area are very limited. The aim of this work is to present the morphology of spores from 42 taxa belonging to 9 families of isosporate ferns that grow in this protected area. The study was carried out with herbarium material. The families studied are Anemiaceae, Aspleniaceae, Athyriaceae, Blechnaceae, Cyatheaceae, Cystopteridaceae, Dennstaedtiaceae, Dryopteridaceae, and Equisetaceae. According to the spore aperture type, 35 taxa are monolete, five trilete, and two alete. The spores are yellowish, light to dark brown or brown greenish. The largest spores belong to Anemia australis and the smallest to Asplenium argentinum. Equinate, folded, cristate, alate, reticulate, ridged, psilate, verrucate, and baculate spores were observed. For the first time, the spores of 27 species are illustrated under a light microscope. An identification key of the spores is also provided. The morphological characteristics of the spores allowed for the identification of 23 species, contributing to spore bank analysis, aeropalynological and paleopalynological studies, and taxonomic identifications.

This work aimed to examine the germination and initial growth of Zeyheria tuberculosa (Vell.) Bureau ex Verl. seedlings at different pH values. pH of the deionized water was adjusted with hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide to 4.7, 5.7, 6.7, 7.7 and 8.7. The following parameters were evaluated: final germination percentage (GP), germination speed index, time required for 50% germination, germination rate, viability of the remaining seeds and length of the radicle. All parameters were reduced in alkaline pH. Maximum germination of 94% was reached in the treatment control, followed by pH 4.7. At alkaline pH (7.7 - 8.7), GP was 43 and 31%, respectively. Therefore, at these pHs, germination was reduced. We provided direct evidence that pH is a limiting factor for germination and for the radicle growth of Z. tuberculosa seedlings. In addition, we show experimental evidence of why this species is widely distributed in the Cerrado biome, where the soils are more acidic, and the relationship between soil composition and high germination in acidic medium was corroborated with this study. We suggest that the germination test at different pHs be included in reforestation programs with native species to predict the establishment of seedlings in soils with different pH.

The new species was found growing in an Atlantic Forest remnant as a submerged or emergent herb in a flooded environment. Eleocharis multinerviglumis differs from other Eleocharis ser. Tenuissimae species mainly by having dimorphic spikelets, with the upper glumes of the spikelets on the culm apex with 7 to 10 prominent longitudinal nerves on both sides (rib-like). Taxonomic notes, an occurrence map and illustrations (including SEM images) are provided.

Mollinedia (Monimiaceae) presents numerous microendemic species, and its centre of diversity is in the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest, where more than half of the species occur. The taxonomy of microendemic species can be challenging because their morphological and genetic variations can be interpreted as a response to geographic isolation rather than a circumscription for different species. In this paper, we describe Mollinedia pignalii Lírio & Pauli, a microendemic species from the Espírito Santo state, Brazil. Vegetatively, M. pignalii is similar to Mollinedia elegans Tul. and Mollinedia schottiana (Spreng.) Perkins; however, it presents the following differences: white-puberulous leaves, staminate flowers with a flat receptacle and 6 to 14 stamens, white-puberulous pistillate flowers with a cupuliform receptacle and 8 to 22 carpels, and white-puberulous drupelets. Due to the similarity between the three species, M. pignalii has been collected and deposited in herbaria under different names. Here, we describe the new species based on morphology and genome size, a comparison with similar species, and ecological comments in an integrative approach. We also provide its conservation status and an identification key for the species of Monimiaceae occurring in the state of Espírito Santo.
