| A taxonomic revision of Arytera Blume is presented, together with a cladistic analysis. On the basis of this analysis, a new genus is recognised, Mischarytera gen. nov., to accommodate the species A. bullata, A. lautereriana, and A. macrobotrys. The necessary new combinations are made. A new classification for Arytera at infrageneric level, also based on the cladistic analysis, is given. Two sections are recognised, Azarytera and Arytera; the latter is further divided into three subsections, Arytera, Distylis subsect. nov., and Pacifica subsect. nov. One new species is described ( A. nekorensis) and one new combination is made ( A. neoebudensis). General, regional, and synoptic keys to all taxa are provided, as are detailed descriptions of the species.... |
