Additionally, a detailed new key is given to determine all recently known species in Aspidistra. New species:Aspidistra atroviolaca, A. bicolor, A. bogneri, A. carnosa, A. connata, A. foliosa, A. geastrum, A. lateralis, A. lutea, A. marasmioides, A. opaca, A. petiolata, A. stricta, A. subrotata, A. superba . New subspecies:Aspidistra arnautovii sp. nova, subsp. arnautovii, A. arnautovii subsp. nova catbaensis, A. subrotata subsp. nova crassinervis . New combinations:Aspidistra dodecandra, A. glandulosa .

[source] Genetic variation and phylogeography of free-living mouse species (genus Mus) in the Balkans and the Middle EastMOLECULAR ECOLOGY, Issue 22 2007M. MACHOLÁN Abstract This work presents a study of the distribution and pattern of variation throughout the ranges of three free-living mouse species of the genus Mus,M. macedonicus, M. spicilegus, and a M. cypriacus , based on sequencing of two segments of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region. The study shows a similar level of variability in the three species and suggests their recent population expansion. The highest proportion of variation is found within populations indicating low genetic structuring. Phylogenetic analysis confirms the significant divergence of a mitochondrial lineage of M. macedonicus from Israel, recently described as a new subspecies, M. macedonicus spretoides. Conversely, no genetic hiatus is revealed between European and Asian populations of M. macedonicus macedonicus. Although phylogenetic relationships among M. spicilegus populations could not be unravelled precisely, the results suggest a recent westward expansion of the species. The mtDNA divergence between M. macedonicus and M. spicilegus is 7.3%, suggesting their split between c. 700 000 and 1 million years ago. These dates correspond with a coalescent estimate about 720 000 years ago. On the other hand, M. cypriacus appeared almost twice as divergent from the former species (4.5%) as from the latter (8.8%) suggesting a divergence of c. 430 000,610 000 years ago (coalescent , 490 000 years ago) and 830 000,1.2 million years ago (coalescent , 780 000 years ago), respectively. Approximate times of population expansion have also been estimated for all taxa and groups of populations. Existence of several glacial refuges and various colonization scenarios are discussed; since all estimated divergence times fall within interglacial periods it seems that climatic oscillations did not play a crucial role in the evolution of the three species.

(Asteraceae) from northwest Anatolia, TurkeyNORDIC JOURNAL OF BOTANY, Issue 4 2010Yavuz Bülent Köse Centaurea cadmea Boiss. subsp. pontica Wagenitz ex Y.B. Köse & Ocak (Asteraceae), a new subspecies occuring in north Anatolia, Turkey, is described and illustrated. The new subspecies grows in rocky places in the Zonguldak province. It is closely related to C. cadmea subsp. cadmea, but differs in its involucrum, achen, appendage and radiant flowers. Diagnostic morphological characters are discussed and notes are presented on ecology and conservation status. In addition, the pollen characteristics of both subspecies have been examined by SEM.

Pennell is described and illustrated. Lindernia ciliata (Colsm.) Pennell subsp. sivarajanii Dhruvan et Mohanan differs from L. ciliata subsp. ciliata by its creeping habit, rooting from almost all nodes, distant and sub-aristate leaf serrations, upper lip of corolla almost equal in length to the lower lip and straight staminodes.

Platystylis, Leguminosae) from Turkey is described and illustrated with diagnostic characters and taxonomic comments. The characters of the new subspecies are compared with those of the type subspecies, from which it differs mainly in the shape, length, width and venation of leaflets, length and width of the stipules, flower color, legume, and style length. In addition, the geographic distribution of the new subspecies is outlined. [source] Morphological, Biochemical and Molecular Characterization of Herpetomonas samuelpessoai camargoi n. subsp., a Trypanosomatid Isolated from the Flower of the Squash Cucurbita moschataTHE JOURNAL OF EUKARYOTIC MICROBIOLOGY, Issue 1 2001JOAO E. FIORINI ABSTRACT. We report the morphological, biochemical and molecular characteristics of a trypanosomatid isolated from the flower of Cucurbita moschata. Although the trypanosomatid was isolated from a plant, the lack of recognition of Phytomonas-spccific molecular markers based on spliced-leader and ribosomal genes as well as by monoclonal antibodies specific for Phytomonas argues against assigning it to this genus. Because the isolate displayed typical opisthomastigote forms in culture, it is assigned to the genus Herpetomonas. Analysis of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) patterns and characterization of ribosomal SSU and ITS markers suggest that it is more closely related to H. samuelpessoai than to any other species. However, the presence of spined flagellates in culture (displaying lateral expansions of the plasma membrane originating near the flagellar pocket) and isolate-specific RAPD fingerprints argue strongly that the trypanosomatid belongs to a new subspecies, for which the name Herpetomonas samuelpessoai camargoi n. subsp. is proposed.
