Amana baohuaensis is described and illustrated as a new species from Jurong City, Jiangsu Province, East China. The new species is morphologically similar to A. edulis, but differs from the latter by having three verticillate linear bracts, white or purple-red solitary flowers, and purplish-brown anthers. Phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear ITS, chloroplast matK and rps16 intron sequences confirmed that this new species is distinct from morphologically similar species.

Rps16 Intron Sequences

Evolutionary relationships among 48 genera of Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) were inferred using maximum parsimony, maximum-likelihood, and neighbor-joining analyses of chloroplast DNA rps16 intron and adjacent rps16 3prime exon sequences. Emphasis was placed on woody members of Apiaceae subfamily Apioideae endemic to southern Africa, a region hypothesized to be the place of origin of this largely herbaceous subfamily. The resultant phylogenies were highly concordant and indicate that the apioid genera Polemanniopsis and Steganotaenia form a clade sister to Apiaceae subfamily Saniculoideae. The African genera Anginon, Dracosciadium, Glia, Heteromorpha, and Polemannia also comprise a clade and likely represent the most basal elements within Apioideae. Heteromorpha, however, is not monophyletic, with Heteromorpha arborescens (Spreng.) Cham. & Schltdl. var. abyssinica (A. Rich.) H. Wolff and Heteromorpha arborescens (Spreng.) Cham. & Schltdl. var. arborescens arising in separate subclades. Progressing up the trees, Annesorhiza then Bupleurum fall as successive sister taxa to all remaining Apioideae. The major clades recognized within subfamily Apioideae are largely congruent with those inferred using other types of molecular evidence. Sequence divergence is similar to that of other chloroplast introns, including being generally low among congeners and woody taxa. While the rps16 intron has seen very little use in molecular systematic studies to date, this study demonstrates its ability to discern high-level relationships within Apiaceae.Key words: Apiaceae, Apioideae, chloroplast rps16 intron, phylogeny, southern Africa, Umbelliferae.

Each of the seven families of rudists (Mollusca, Bivalvia, Hippuritacea) is characterized by distinctive shell-wall architectures which reflect phylogenetic relationships within the superfamily. Analysis of the complex, calcareous, cellular wall of the attached valve of the radiolite rudist Eoradiolites davidsoni (Hill) from the Comanche Cretaceous of Central Texas indicates that its wall architecture is an elaboration of the simpler monopleurid rudist wall and supports possible radiolite-monopleurid relationships.Several well-preserved specimens of E. davidsoni were sectioned, polished, etched, and carbon and gold coated for SEM examination. Maximum shell microstructure detail was displayed by etching with a 0.7% HC1 solution from 80 to 100 seconds.The shell of E. davidsoni comprises a large, thick-walled, conical, attached valve (AV) and a small, very thin, operculate, free valve (FV) (Fig. 1a). The AV shell is two-layered with a thin inner wall, in which original structures are usually obliterated by recrystallization, and a thick, cellular, outer wall.

Abstract—Hymenophyllum subg. Mecodium, composed of the taxonomically notorious H. polyanthos and approximately 15 other closely related taxa, is a common element of filmy fern communities in the tropical and subtropical moist forests. In Taiwan, although only H. polyanthos and one or two closely related taxa were recognized in recent studies, considerable morphological variation has been observed among populations throughout the island. Thus, we conducted an extensive morphological investigation, as well as a molecular phylogenetic analysis, to clarify the specific diversity and phylogenetic relationships within Hymenophyllum subg. Mecodium in Taiwan. Field and herbaria surveys helped in recognizing five morphs in Taiwan, mainly differentiated by the combination of certain traits, viz., the presence or absence of stipe wings, general frond size and shape, degree of laminar crispation, sori position, and involucre shape. The different morphs had diverse ecological preferences. The phylogenetic tree, inferred from the sequences of the plastid loci rbcL and rps4-trnS, demonstrated that Hymenophyllum subg. Mecodium materials in Taiwan comprise several well-supported lineages, mostly corresponding to the classification based on morphology. Comparing with the protologues and type specimens of 34 related scientific names, the five morphs are herein recognized as five independent species. A new species, Hymenophyllum exquisitum, is described here. Also, the status of H. paniculiflorum is reconfirmed and that of H. fujisanense, H. parallelocarpum, and H. punctisorum reinstated. Only H. exquisitum and H. parallelocarpum are endemic to Taiwan among all the species studied. In addition, the names Hymenophyllum blumeanum, H. integrum, H. microsorum, H. polyanthos, H. tenellum, and H. wrightii are now excluded from the regional flora, and several related taxa from China, Taiwan, and the Philippines are treated as synonyms. This study unravels the deep phylogenetic relationships within Hymenophyllum subg. Mecodium in Taiwan and Eastern Asia.
