Laboubeniales On Semiaquatic Heteroptera. Vii. Addenda To Species Of Triceromyces On Hydrometridae And Further Observations On Dioecism In The Order, Richard K. Benjamin Jan 1998

Laboubeniales On Semiaquatic Heteroptera. Vii. Addenda To Species Of Triceromyces On Hydrometridae And Further Observations On Dioecism In The Order, Richard K. Benjamin

Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany

Four new species of Triceromyces (Laboulbeniales) parasitic on Hydrometra (Heteroptera: Hydrometridae) were described and aspects of their morphology and development were discussed and illustrated with line drawings. Two of the species, T. floridanus and T. elongatus, are monoecious; T. floridanus, known only from Florida, U.S.A., has features allying it with T. elongatus, which ranges from Madagascar and Kenya in Africa to India, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka in Asia. The other two undoubtedly closely related species, T. lithophilus and T. terrestris, are dioecious and parasitize two closely related endemic species of Hydrometra thriving in a small region …


Aliciella, A Recircumscribed Genus Of Polemoniaceae, J. Mark Porter Jan 1998

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. …
