Nomenclatural Changes In Polemoniaceae, J. Mark Porter
Nomenclatural Changes In Polemoniaceae, J. Mark Porter
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
Recent molecular phylogenetic analyses of nuclear, chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA of Polemoniaceae have prompted a reexamination of morphological data and a reassessment of current taxonomy. These studies prompt several nomenclatural changes in the family. Eight taxa formerly included in Gilia section Giliastrum are transferred to the genus Giliastrum. In addition, two new tribes of Polemoniaceae are recognized.

Aliciella, A Recircumscribed Genus Of Polemoniaceae, J. Mark Porter
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
Recent phylogenetic analyses within Polemoniaceae have provided evidence that the current circumscriptionof Gilia recognizes and gives taxonomic status to a polyphyletic assemblage of species. As a first step in rectifying this problem, the genus Aliciella Brand (Polemoniaceae) is resurrected and recircumscribed to include Gilia section Giliandra and Gilia subgenus Gilmania sensu Mason & Grant, a monophyletic (=holophyletic) group as here described. Twenty-one recombinations are proposed: Aliciella cespitosa, A. formosa, A. haydenii, A. haydenii subsp. crandallii, A. heterostyla, A. humillima, A. hutchinsifolia, A. latifolia, A. latifolia subsp. imperialis. A. leptomeria. A. lottiae. A. mcvickerae.A. micromeria. A. nyensis, A. pentstemonoides, A. …
