Singhfilaria hayesi n. sp. from subcutaneous tissue of Meleagris gallopavo sylvestris of the southeastern United States is readily distinguished by its broad complex left spicule, cuticular markings, and two pairs of bulky male caudal papillae. Eufilariinae López-Neyra 1956 is considered a synonym of Lemdaninae López-Neyra 1956 and a key, with diagnoses and a list of species, is given to the following genera regarded as members of the Lemdaninae: Lemdana, Saurositus, Singhfilaria (= Lemdanella), Ameeria, Aproctiana, Sarconema, Eufilaria (= Eufilariella), and Chiropterofilaria. The following new combinations are proposed: Singhfilaria alii (Sultana, 1961) n. comb. for Lemdana alii; ?Singhfilaria dartovellei (Ezzat and Tadros, 1958) n. comb. for Lemdana dartovellei; Sarconema pyrrhurae (Freitas and Mendonça, 1952) n. comb. for Aprocta pyrrhurae; Eufilaria micropenis (Travassos, 1926) n. comb. for Lemdana micropenis; Eufilaria singhi (Sultana, 1961) n. comb. for Lemdana singhi. Eufilaria coua nom. nov. is proposed for Eufilaria singhi Chabaud, Brygoo, and Richard, 1964.

Taxonomic Changes

As part of ongoing efforts to understand and document the flora of the southeastern United States, a number of taxonomic changes at generic, specific, and infraspecific rank are made. We also discuss and clarify the recommended taxonomy for other taxa (not requiring nomenclatural acts) and present a point of view about the practical and philosophic basis for making taxonomic changes in an allegedly well-understood flora. The genera (and families) affected are Endodeca (Aristolochiaceae), Erigeron, Pityopsis, and Solidago (Asteraceae), Tillandsia (Bromeliaceae), Carex (Cyperaceae), Baptisia and Indigofera (Fabaceae), Salvia and Scutellaria (Lamiaceae), Stenanthium (Melanthiaceae), Epidendrum (Orchidaceae), and Andropogon, Coleataenia, Dichanthelium, Digitaria, and Panicum (Poaceae).

A New Species

As part of ongoing efforts to understand and document the flora of the southeastern United States, we propose a number of taxonomic changes. In Trichostema, we name a new species, narrowly endemic to maritime grasslands in the Carolinas and warranting formal conservation status and action. In Dichanthelium (Poaceae), we continue the reassessment of taxa formerly recognized in Panicum and provide new combinations along with a new key to taxa in the Dichanthelium scabriusculum complex. In Paspalum (Poaceae), we address the controversial taxonomy of P. arundinaceum and P. pleostachyum and treat the two as conspecific, with P. arundinaceum the correct name. In Portulaca (Portulacaceae), we report the discovery of the Bahamian P. minuta as a native component of the North American flora, occurring in southern Florida.

Combined Data

People living in Mesoamerica and what is now the eastern and southwestern United States used turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) as sources of meat, eggs, bones, and feathers. Turkey husbandry and domestication are confirmed in two of these regions (Mesoamerica and the American Southwest), but human-turkey interactions in Eastern North American (eastern United States and Canada) are not fully explored. We apply stable isotope (δ13C, δ15N) and ancient mitochondrial DNA analyses to archaeofaunal samples from seven sites in the southeastern United States to test whether turkeys were managed or captively reared. These combined data do not support prolonged or intensive captive rearing of turkeys, and evidence for less intensive management is ambiguous. More research is warranted to determine whether people managed turkeys in these areas, and whether this is generalizable. Determining whether turkeys were managed or reared in the southeastern United States helps define cultural and environmental factors related to turkey management or husbandry throughout North America. This inquiry contributes to discussion of the roles of intensified human-animal interactions in animal domestication.

Morphological Differences

A multivariate morphometric study of herbarium specimens of Solidago rigida confirmed that the species was divisible into three groups: a prairie race, a southeastern United States race, and a mid western – northeastern United States race. These groups are given subspecific rank as ssp. humilis, ssp. glabrata, and ssp. rigida, respectively, on the basis of morphological differences and their largely allopatric distributions. They are most easily distinguished on the basis of pubescence, phyllary, and disc corolla lobe traits. Twenty-seven new chromosome counts in two of the three subspecies are reported. Subspecies humilis is diploid (2n = 18); ssp. rigida is diploid in Oklahoma and tetraploid (2n = 36) over most of its range. Subspecies glabrata has been reported previously as diploid (four counts). The following new combinations are made: Solidago rigida ssp. glabrata and S. rigida ssp. humilis.

Taxonomic Changes

As part of ongoing efforts to understand and document the flora of the southeastern United States, we propose a number of taxonomic changes and report a distributional record. In Rhynchospora (Cyperaceae), we elevate the well-marked R. glomerata var. angusta to species rank. In Dryopteris (Dryopteridaceae), we report a state distributional record for Mississippi for D. celsa, filling a range gap. In Oenothera (Onagraceae), we continue the reassessment of the Oenothera fruticosa complex and elevate O. fruticosa var. unguiculata to species rank. In Eragrostis (Poaceae), we address typification issues. In the Trilliaceae, Trillium undulatum is transferred to Trillidium, providing a better correlation of taxonomy with our current phylogenetic understanding of the family.
