Research paper thumbnail of Unique tetrads of Epilobium luteum (Onagraceae: Onagreae) pollen from Alaska

The first collection appears to lack apertures altogether and is presumed to consist of immature pollen gains in a genus known to achieve mature size before the apertures become distinctly protruding. A second collection has tetrads with 3-and 4-apertured grains, the apertures in the latter are often irregularly spaced and not in apposition with the apertures of neighboring members. The third collection consists of the more typical 3-apertured members that characterize the majority of Epilobium pollen grains. In all of these collections individual pollen grains (monads) are interspersed among the tetrads. The variations in the number of apertures emphasize the importance of having a comprehensive understanding of the stage of development of the pollen (taxon) examined when describing pollen collections. In the first collection this would mean the recognition that in Onagraceae apertures occur in the later stages of microspore ontogeny. In the latter two collections a thorough background of the literature of the pollen morphology on this largest Onagraceae taxon is useful for the understanding of the significance of a range of aperture numbers on Epilobium pollen grains.

In this paper we briefly survey the history of generic and suprageneric classification in Onagraceae, summarize our knowledge of the morphological and molecular variation in the family in a phylogenetic context, and propose a revised classification that reflects that phylogeny. We include a specieslevel synopsis of the family, incorporating all nomenclatural changes and combinations but not full species-level synonymy. We provide descriptions of all taxa recognized for the first time, as well as tribes, genera, sections, subsections, and series. In this treatment, we recognize 22 genera in the family, subdivided into two subfamilies, subfam. Ludwigioideae (only Ludwigia) and subfam. Onagroideae (the other genera), and the latter into six tribes, two with only one genus each, three with two genera each, and one (tribe Onagreae) with 13 genera. Chromosome numbers and breeding system information are summarized, as is the geographical and ecological distribution of each taxon. For each group we list the included taxa. Many changes involve the tribe Onagreae, from which we have segregated Gongylocarpus as its own tribe, sister to the tribes Epilobieae and Onagreae, and within which we propose changes in the delimitation of Camissonia and Oenothera. Camissonia as currently defined is broadly paraphyletic; our new classification recognizes nine generic lineages (Camissonia, Camissoniopsis, Chylismia, Chylismiella, Eremothera, Eulobus, Holmgrenia, Taraxia, and Tetrapteron), which in part form a grade at the base of Oenothera. Each of these lineages is well-supported by morphological and molecular data. In contrast, molecular and morphological data both suggest the need to broaden the delimitation of Oenothera to include Calylophus, Gaura, and Stenosiphon. This redefined Oenothera, strongly supported by molecular data, is marked by at least two morphological synapomorphies: the presence of an indusium on the style, and a lobed or peltate stigma. We summarize these new generic alignments and review the morphological characters used to diagnose all tribes, genera, and sections. New taxa recognized include subfamilies Ludwigioideae and Onagroideae, two genera (Camissoniopsis and Holmgrenia), three sections (Epilobium sect. Macrocarpa, Oenothera sect. Leucocoryne, and O. sect. Xanthocoryne), and one subspecies (O. macrocarpa subsp. mexicana). All other nomenclatural novelties involve new combinations or new names; these include three genera (Chylismiella, Eremothera, and Tetrapteron), 23 sections or subsections (Chylismia sect. Lignothera; Clarkia sect.

Oligospermum (Micheli) H.Hara was the correct name for one well-defined section. However, subsequent changes to/clarifications of the botanical code have necessitated a change for that name in that now an autonym is treated as having priority over the name or names of the same date and rank that established it. Since Hara's combination was based on Jussiaea sect. Oligospermum Micheli, the correct name for this section is Ludwigia sect. Jussiaea (L.

Research paper thumbnail of Multi‐locus phylogeny of Ludwigia (Onagraceae): Insights on infra‐ generic relationships and the current classification of the genus

Past studies have documented the morphological diversity and complex evolutionary history. Here we provide the first comprehensive molecular phylogeny of Ludwigia, using our new data to examine the existing evolutionary hypotheses. We employed both nuclear (ITS, waxy) and chloroplast (rps16, rpl16, trnL-trnF, trnL-CD, trnG) DNA regions for this study. Our results suggest that the North Temperate haplostemonous (NTH) group and a second group that includes all other species of Ludwigia (clade B) form strongly supported sister clades. In the NTH group, a monophyletic sect. Ludwigia is sister to the Microcarpium complex, but sect. Microcarpium and sect. Isnardia are not monophyletic. In clade B, the multi-species sec tions Jussiaea and Macrocarpon are well-supported monophyletic clades, but others, including the largest sect. Myrtocarpus, are not monophyletic. In sum, this first molecular phylogeny of Ludwigia clarifies and supports several major relationships in the genus but also highlights parts of the classification that should be changed. Our results imply that allopolyploidy played an important role in the evolutionary history of the genus, giving rise to complex patterns of relationships that are not yet adequately reflected in the classification.

We agree with most aspects of his interpretation, but have concluded as a result of detailed field and herbarium studies that Zauschneria septentrionalis should be treated as a distinct species. It is entirely allopatric with E. canum s. lat., although the two entities occur within about 200 m of one another along the Trinity River and the South Fork of the Eel River. The more local diploid is characterized by a distribution on rock ledges in the valleys of the Eel, Mattole, and Trinity rivers of Humboldt, Mendocino, and Trinity counties, California, at elevations from 20 to 125 m. It can readily be distinguished from all phases of E. canum by a combination of its distinctive short but suffruticose habit, subentire leaf margins, and white-canescent pubescence on the lower leaves. We therefore propose the following new combination, in anticipation of a more complete sectional revision, and in order to make the name available.
