Phylogenetic reassessment of Acianthera (Pleurothallidinae: Orchidaceae)
(2016-12-31)
The phylogenetic relationships within the Acianthera affinity are re-evaluated using Bayesian analyses of nrITS and chloroplast matK sequence data. Emphasis is made on species from the Antilles, Central America and the ...

(2020-11-27)
Acianthera Scheidweiler (1842: 292), a genus historically placed under the synonymy of Pleurothallis Brown (1813: 211), was reinstated by Pridgeon & Chase (2001) and redefined on the basis of molecular studies by Pridgeon ...
Nomenclatural notes in the Pleurothallidinae (Orchidaceae): miscellaneous
(2019-06-25)
Nomenclatural amendments and notes are provided for taxa belonging to diverse genera within subtribe Pleurothallidinae (Orchidaceae) in order to comply with the International Code for algae, fungi, and plants. The proposed ...
Recent origin and rapid speciation of Neotropical orchids in the world's richest plant biodiversity hotspot
(2017)
The Andean mountains of South America are the most species‐rich biodiversity hotspot worldwide with c. 15% of the world's plant species, in only 1% of the world's land surface. Orchids are a key element of the Andean flora, ...
Monstera limitaris (Araceae), a new species from the border between Costa Rica and Panama
(2018-11-15)
Species of genus Monstera are among the most representative hemi-epiphytic Araceae in the Neotropics. They are widely distributed and abundant in the tropical forests of Costa Rica and Panama. During recent exploration in ...
Vanilla distribution modeling for conservation and sustainable cultivation in a joint land sparing/sharing concept
(2020-03)
Vanilla, an expensive but popular spice used in many industries, faces problems related to its
supply. Some of these problems are due to the fact that vanilla cultivation is based on clonal material of a
single species ...
To be, or not to be a Stelis
(2019-12-17)
Despite the availability of multiple sources of evidence and consistency in the support for a broadly circumscribed Stelis Sw. (Orchidaceae: Pleurothallidinae), some authors continue to be hesitant in its use. It is certain ...
A reappraisal of Neotropical Vanilla. With a note on taxonomic inflation and the importance of alpha taxonomy in biological studies
(2020-12-23)
Despite the long-standing cultural importance and botanical interest in Vanilla, many taxa belonging to the genus remain poorly understood. Vanilla species generally have broad geographical and ecological distributions. ...
Phylogenetic reassessment of Specklinia and its allied genera in the pleurothallidinae (Orchidaceae)
(2016)
The phylogenetic relationships within Specklinia (Pleurothallidinae; Orchidaceae) and related genera are re-evaluated using Bayesian analyses of nrITS and chloroplast matK sequence data of a wide sampling of species. ...
The genus Muscarella (Orchidaceae): two new synonyms
(2019-02-17)
Recently, the new monospecific genus Vaginaella Vierling (2018: 19) was proposed to accommodate the proposed species Vaginaella stromatolithoides Vierling (2018: 19). After comparing the original description and illustration ...
