SABIIA - Sistema Aberto e Integrado de Informação em Agricultura (Sabiia)

A taxonomic revision of Scolopia, based on the collections most important for the genus. Of the names of the about 80 taxa previously described in the genus, 28 remained valid; for 2 species and 1 variety a new combination had to be made, 7 new species and 1 new variety were added, and 5 species had to be transferred to other genera. This resulted in a total of 37 species (and 2 varieties); of these, 21 species are found in Africa (15 of them in Madagascar, the Comores, and the Mascarenes), 15 in Southeast Asia and Malesia (incl. New Ireland), and 1 in Australia.

Proteaceae

Trees or shrubs. Leaves spiral or in pseudo-whorls, sometimes subopposite, generally coriaceous, simple or pinnatisect, often dimorphous, entire or toothed, sometimes spiny. Stipules 0. Inflorescences mostly axillary or rami- or cauliflorous, or terminal. Bracts (potentially) present but mostly small, often minute and very early caducous or barely visible, sometimes large, accrescent and woody (in cone-like spikes). Bracteoles 0-2, small. Flowers in racemes, umbels or spikes, the latter sometimes cone-like, not rarely inserted in twos; pedicels of the pairs sometimes connate to various degree. Flowers choripetalous (though segments sometimes remain connate or partly so, sometimes with a spathaceous corolla), actinomorphous, sometimes zygomorphous (by...

Sleumer, H.; Steenis, C.G.G.J. van.

An exhaustive Flora of Delhi, compiled by J. K. Maheshwari, was published by C.S.I.R. in 1963 (for a review see Blumea 13, 1965, p. 174). During the compilation of that flora, 278 line-drawings, illustrating the habits and chief features of the plants found in Delhi, were prepared; they form a welcome addition. In general, the drawings are of a good quality and will be a help to all interested in the determination of Delhi plants.

A taxonomic account of the Olacaceae of Asia, Malesia, and the adjacent areas

Ano: 1966

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/524921

In the present work details are given in the first place for the Malesian Olacaceae, representing the basis of my forthcoming treatment of the family in ‘Flora Malesiana’, in which full descriptions of the Malesian genera and species will be given. As the Olacaceae of Malesia are connected with those of South and Southeast Asia on the one, and those of Australia and the Pacific on the other side, it has been necessary to study the respective materials too. A part of the Malesian genera is represented also in Africa inch Madagascar, and even in Central and South America; the appertaining species have been studied but are not mentioned in this paper. A critical elaboration of the family for Africa and America is urgently needed, but will, as far as can be...

Materials towards the knowledge of the Icacinaceae of Asia, Malesia, and adjacent areas

Ano: 1972

In the present work details are given in the first place for the Malesian Icacinaceae, representing the basis of my forthcoming treatment of the family in ‘Flora Malesiana’ in which full descriptions of the Malesian genera and species will be given. Being connected closely with the Icacinaceae of South and Southeast Asia on the one, and with Australia and the Pacific on the other side, and in part even with those of Africa inch Madagascar, it has been necessary to study the respective materials too, without, however, to perform a complete revision of all Icacinaceae in these parts of the world. This was the less necessary, as R. A. Howard (1940—42) already has revised part of the genera concerned. The elaboration of the family in several local treatments...

Studies in Old World Proteaceae

Ano: 1988

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/525497

During a recent treatment of the Proteaceae for “Flora Malesiana” it has become evident that a revision of the generic status of all proteaceous taxa reported from S. Asia and Malaysia as well as from the adjacent regions of Micronesia, Melanesia, Polynesia and subtropical-tropical Australia had to be made to reach a satisfactory correlation of the genera and species concerned as a basis for the discussion of phytogeographical relations both within and outside the proper Malaysian area. During this work it appeared necessary to transfer some species to other genera. A revision of the genus Helicia showed that a group of species had to be segregated as a distinct new genus Heliciopsis. My studies are based on herbarium specimens borrowed from the following...

Flacourtiaceae

Trees or shrubs. Leaves spirally arranged or often distichous, sometimes crowded towards the top of the branchlets, simple, entire or crenate or serrate, crenations mostly glandular; petioles often thickened at the base and (or) the apex. Stipules small, rarely large and foliaceous, often early caducous, or wanting. Inflorescences subterminal or mostly axillary, sometimes on the old wood, in often spike-like racemes or in panicles or in short cymes, but sometimes condensed to glomerules or reduced to few-flowered fascicles or even to a solitary flower, apparently essentially cymose. Flowers bisexual or unisexual, in the latter case mostly dioecious, sometimes polygamous, actinomorphic, 3- to polymerous, cyclic (with sepals and petals) or rarely spiral...

The genus Lophopyxis Hook. f. (Lophopyxidaceae)

Ano: 1955

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/532657

When revising the Icacinaceae from SE. Asia and Malesia recently, my interest was drawn again to the genus Lophopyxis Hook. f. Designated by its author (1887) tentatively as a member of the Euphorbiaceae, it was rejected from this family by Pax as early as 1890. Engler (1893) transferred Lophopyxis to the Icacinaceae as the type of a new subfamily Lophopyxidoideae. Hallier f. (1910) disputed Engler’s view and retained it in the Euphorbiaceae, from which it was excluded again by Pax & Hoffmann in 1931. A possible place in the Rhamnaceae and Flacourtiaceae was considered and rejected by Gilg in 1918; Bakhuizen van den Brink Jr. & van Steenis (1966) likewise rejected the former, though its alliance with the Rhamnaceae was firmly expressed by Airy Shaw...

In the present work details are given in the first place for the extra-Australian Epacridaceae except Lebetanthus (South America), of which a part forms the base for my revision of the family for the ‘Flora Malesiana’ and for ‘Pacific Plant Areas’. Key to the subgenera and sections of the genus Styphelia, to the Malaysian species of Styphelia, to all species of Styphelia subgen. Cyathodes, and to the species of the genus Trochocarpa are added.

The identity of Plectomirtha Oliv. with Pennantia J. R. & G. Forster (Icacinaceae)

Ano: 1961

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/524959

In 1948, W. B. R. Oliver described the new monotypic genus Plectomirtha, collected by G. T. S. Baylis in 1945 from a single tree on a small rocky islet of the Three King’s Islands off New Zealand. He placed it in the Anacardiaceae, a family hitherto absent from New Zealand. This aroused a certain curiosity both from a taxonomic and plantgeographic point of view, because it would be much intriguing if an endemic genus occurred there. This was the reason why Dr C. G. G. J. van Steenis asked Prof. G. T. S. Baylis from the University of Otago, Dunedin, N.Z., for original material to be able to elucidate this case. A fragment of the holotype, consisting of a few flowers and a leaf, conserved in the Auckland Institute and Museum, became available to our...
