We present a list of tree species of French Guiana, based on data collected from herbarium specimens and tree inventories, and verified against all available taxonomic literature to date. The list contains 1811 taxa representing 87 families and 421 genera, including 143 unnamed species which either may be species not previously recorded in French Guiana, or taxa new to Science. Original demographic data such as global abundance, local maximum frequency and geographic dispersion, are given for the 1293 species present in tree inventories. Our work has led to the recognition of certain taxonomic and nomenclatural novelties, including a new combination in Lecythis Loefl. (Lecythidaceae), several lectotypifications and new synonyms, as well as reinstatement of Sloanea acutiflora Uittien (Elaeocarpaceae), Eugenia sinemariensis Aubl. (Myrtaceae), and four species of Inga (Leguminosae). In addition, we provide the most comprehensive list available to date of corresponding vernacular names (4354 for 1157 species) in nine languages spoken in French Guiana: Palikur, Kali’na, Teko, Wayãpi, Wayana, Nengee tongo (Aluku/Ndjuka/Paramaka), Creole, French, and Brasilian Portuguese. The checklist is complemented by indexes of exsiccata, vernacular names and scientific names. The introductory part is available in French and English., Nous présentons une liste des espèces d’arbres de Guyane française, basée sur des données issues de spécimens d’herbiers et d’inventaires d’arbres. Les noms ont été vérifiés au regard de toute la littérature taxonomique disponible à ce jour. La liste contient 1811 taxons représentant 87 familles et 421 genres, dont 143 espèces non nommées qui peuvent être soit des espèces non répertoriées précédemment en Guyane française, soit des taxons nouveaux pour la Science. Des données démographiques originales telles que l’abondance globale, la fréquence maximale locale et la dispersion géographique, sont données pour les 1293 espèces présentes dans les inventaires d’arbres. Nos travaux ont conduit à la reconnaissance de quelques nouveautés taxonomiques et nomenclaturales, dont une nouvelle combinaison dans le genre Lecythis Loefl. (Lecythidaceae), plusieurs lectotypifications et nouveaux synonymes, ainsi que la réinstallation de Sloanea acutiflora Uittien (Elaeocarpaceae), d’Eugenia sinemariensis Aubl. (Myrtaceae), et de quatre espèces du genre Inga (Leguminosae). En outre, nous fournissons la liste la plus complète disponible à ce jour des noms vernaculaires correspondants (4354 pour 1157 espèces) dans neuf langues parlées en Guyane française : Palikur, Kali’na, Teko, Wayãpi, Wayana, Nengee tongo (Aluku/Ndjuka/Paramaka), Créole, Français, et Portugais du Brésil. Le catalogue est complété par des index des exsiccata, des noms vernaculaires et des noms scientifiques. La partie introductive est proposée en français et en anglais.

Premise of research. Early Cretaceous flowers recovered from Portugal and North America are some of the oldest and most informative angiosperm structures known. Analyses of this material provide a more direct basis for inferring floral structure and biology in early angiosperms than extrapolations based solely on extant taxa, and they have documented an unanticipated diversity of angiosperms, including the presence of many extinct forms, during the Early Cretaceous. The fossil flower described here from the Early Cretaceous of Portugal adds to the knowledge of this extinct diversity. Methodology. Coalified fossil flowers were extracted from unconsolidated sediments and cleaned with HF, HCl, and water. Details were studied using scanning electron microscopy and synchrotron radiation X-ray tomographic microscopy. Phylogenetic relationships were evaluated by adding the fossil to a phylogenetic analysis of extant basal angiosperms based on morphological characters but constrained according to a topology based on molecular data. Pivotal results. A new genus and species, Catanthus dolichostemon, are described on the basis of the fossil flowers. The perianth consists of three thick sepal-like tepals in an outer whorl and six thinner petallike tepals in two inner whorls. The androecium consists of several whorls of stamens with long, broad filaments and anthers with extrorse dehiscence. Pollen is trichotomocolpate and possibly monocolpate. The gynoecium is superior and apocarpous, consisting of six or, rarely, five carpels. Analysis of the phylogenetic position of Catanthus suggests a relationship to Canellales and Magnoliales. Conclusions. Catanthus is a new Early Cretaceous magnoliid angiosperm for which the relationship to the two major clades of extant magnoliids (Laurales 1 Magnoliales or Canellales 1 Piperales) is not resolved securely. Catanthus adds to the evidence of substantial extinct diversity among early angiosperms, including the presence of extinct forms related to extant magnoliids, and it is consistent with a general pattern that angiosperm assemblages from the middle Albian and earlier are dominated by noneudicots.

International audience; We provide an up-to-date catalogue of the Coccomorpha Rubsaamen, 1899 of New Caledonia based on studies of collected and curated specimens and on the literature. One hundred and eighteen species (118) in ten families have been recorded to date, in 70 genera. Five of the genera (7.2%) are endemic, belonging to Asterolecaniidae Berlese, 1898 (Oacoccus Williams, 2007), Eriococcidae Cockerell, 1899 (Chazeauana Matile-Ferrero, 1988, Choneochiton Hodgson, 2014) and Monophlebidae Maskell, 1880 (Insulococcus Bhatti, 1991, Tessarobelus Montrouzier, 1864). Twenty-nine (29) species are endemic to New Caledonia, giving a rate of endemism of 24.6%. Most of the species are apparently human-assisted introductions. We provide here first records from New Caledonia for ten (10) species: Aulacaspis rosarum Borchsenius, 1858; Chrysomphalus pinnulifer (Maskell, 1891); Diaspis echinocacti (Bouche, 1833); Fiorinia phantasma (Cockerell & Robinson, 1915); Labidaspis myersi Green, 1929; Palmicultor browni (Williams, 1960); Poliaspoides formosana (Takahashi, 1930); Pseudococcus gilbertensis Beardsley, 1966; Pseudococcus orchidicola Takahashi, 1939 and Rhizoecus cacticans (Hambleton, 1946). Despite two introduction attempts for the biological control of weedy cactus, Hypogeococcus festerianus (Lizer y Trelles, 1942) is still considered absent from New Caledonia. Literature records of five species are shown to be erroneous: Dactylopius tomentosus (Lamarck, 1801); Dysmicoccus cocotis (Maskell, 1890); Lindingaspis buxtoni (Laing, 1927); Nipaecoccus filamentosus (Cockerell, 1893) and Clavaspis herculeana (Cockerell & Hadden, in Doane & Hadden, 1909), which are therefore considered absent from New Caledonia.

Resumo Winteraceae apresenta cinco generos, dos quais apenas Drimys ocorre na regiao neotropical. A taxonomia das especies ocorrentes no Brasil ainda e controversa e dependendo do autor, sao aceitas de uma a tres especies. O presente trabalho apresenta o estudo taxonomico de Winteraceae no Rio Grande do Sul, e visa esclarecer acerca das especies da familia no estado. Foram feitas revisoes de herbarios nacionais e internacionais, alem de coletas em diversos pontos do estado para o levantamento de dados para o tratamento taxonomico e a analise morfometrica (ANOVA). Com base nas analises morfometricas, dados fenologicos e morfologicos, aceitamos a ocorrencia de duas especies no Rio Grande do Sul: Drimys angustifolia e D. brasiliensis. E fornecida uma chave de identificacao, descricoes, comentarios, fenologia e ilustracoes de ambos os taxons. Palavras-chave: Canellales, Drimys, elemento austro-antartico, Magnoliidae, morfometria. Abstract Winteraceae presents five genera, of which only Drimys occurring in the Neotropics. The taxonomy of the Brazilian species is still controversial, and depending on the author, one to three species is accepted. This paper presents the taxonomic study of Winteraceae in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, and aims to elucidate the Winteraceae species for the region. Revision of national and international herbaria, and collections in several places of the state were made in order to gather data for the taxonomic treatment and the morphometrics analysis (ANOVA). Based on the morphometric analyses, phenological and morphological data, two species are accepted for Rio Grande do Sul: Drimys angustifolia and D. brasiliensis. We provide an identification key, descriptions, commentaries, phenology and illustrations for both taxa. Key words: Canellales, Drimys, Austro-Antarctic element, Magnoliidae, morphometric analysis.

We present reference-quality genome assembly and annotation for the stout camphor tree (SCT;Cinnamomum kanehirae[Laurales, Lauraceae]), the first sequenced member of the Magnoliidae comprising four orders (Laurales, Magnoliales, Canellales, and Piperales) and over 9,000 species. Phylogenomic analysis of 13 representative seed plant genomes indicates that magnoliid and eudicot lineages share more recent common ancestry relative to monocots. Two whole genome duplication events were inferred within the magnoliid lineage, one before divergence of Laurales and Magnoliales and the other within the Lauraceae. Small scale segmental duplications and tandem duplications also contributed to innovation in the evolutionary history ofCinnamomum. For example, expansion of terpenoid synthase subfamilies within the Laurales spawned the diversity ofCinnamomummonoterpenes and sesquiterpenes.

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Primers were developed for a portion of the ycf1 plastid gene in magnoliid taxa to investigate the utility of ycf1 in phylogenetic analyses. • METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-six species across six families within the magnoliid group (Canellales, Piperales, Laurales, and Magnoliales) were sampled to examine the ability to amplify ycf1. Additionally, 29 accessions of Asimina and Deeringothamnus (Annonaceae) were sequenced to assess levels of variation in ycf1 compared to matK and trnL-F. • CONCLUSIONS Results indicate that ycf1 is easily amplified and sequenced. In Annonaceae, ycf1 provides more informative phylogenetic characters than commonly used markers such as matK and trnL-F.

Over the past 25 years, discoveries of Early Cretaceous fossil flowers, often associated with pollen and sometimes with vegetative parts, have revolutionized our understanding of the morphology and diversity of early angiosperms. However, few of these fossils have been integrated into the increasingly robust phylogeny of living angiosperms based primarily on molecular data. To remedy this situation, we have used a morphological dataset for living basal angiosperms (including basal eudicots and monocots) to assess the most parsimonious positions of early angiosperm fossils on cladograms of Recent plants, using constraint trees that represent the current range of hypotheses on higher-level relationships, and concentrating on Magnoliidae (the clade including Magnoliales, Laurales, Canellales, and Piperales) and eudicots. In magnoliids, our results confirm proposed relationships of Archaeanthus (latest Albian?) to Magnoliaceae, Endressinia (late Aptian) to Magnoliales (the clade comprising Degeneria, Galbulimima, Eupomatia, and Annonaceae), and Walkeripollis pollen tetrads (late Barremian?) to Winteraceae, but they indicate that Mauldinia (early Cenomanian) was sister to both Lauraceae and Hernandiaceae rather than to Lauraceae alone. Among middle Albian to early Cenomanian eudicots, we confirm relationships of Nelumbites to Nelumbo, platanoid inflorescences and Sapindopsis to Platanaceae, and Spanomera to Buxaceae. With the possible exception of Archaeanthus, these fossils are apparently not crown group members of living families but rather stem relatives of one or more families.

Background With 10,000 species, Magnoliidae are the largest clade of flowering plants outside monocots and eudicots. Despite an ancient and rich fossil history, the tempo and mode of diversification of Magnoliidae remain poorly known. Using a molecular data set of 12 markers and 220 species (representing >75% of genera in Magnoliidae) and six robust, internal fossil age constraints, we estimate divergence times and significant shifts of diversification across the clade. In addition, we test the sensitivity of magnoliid divergence times to the choice of relaxed clock model and various maximum age constraints for the angiosperms. Results Compared with previous work, our study tends to push back in time the age of the crown node of Magnoliidae (178.78-126.82 million years, Myr), and of the four orders, Canellales (143.18-125.90 Myr), Piperales (158.11-88.15 Myr), Laurales (165.62-112.05 Myr), and Magnoliales (164.09-114.75 Myr). Although families vary in crown ages, Magnoliidae appear to have diversified into most extant families by the end of the Cretaceous. The strongly imbalanced distribution of extant diversity within Magnoliidae appears to be best explained by models of diversification with 6 to 13 shifts in net diversification rates. Significant increases are inferred within Piperaceae and Annonaceae, while the low species richness of Calycanthaceae, Degeneriaceae, and Himantandraceae appears to be the result of decreases in both speciation and extinction rates. Conclusions This study provides a new time scale for the evolutionary history of an important, but underexplored, part of the tree of angiosperms. The ages of the main clades of Magnoliidae (above the family level) are older than previously thought, and in several lineages, there were significant increases and decreases in net diversification rates. This study is a new robust framework for future investigations of trait evolution and of factors influencing diversification in this group as well as angiosperms as a whole.

Three mitochondrial (atp1, matR, nad5), four chloroplast (atpB, matK, rbcL, rpoC2), and one nuclear (18S) genes from 162 seed plants, representing all major lineages of gymnosperms and angiosperms, were analyzed together in a supermatrix or in various partitions using likelihood and parsimony methods. The results show that Amborella + Nymphaeales together constitute the first diverging lineage of angiosperms, and that the topology of Amborella alone being sister to all other angiosperms likely represents a local long branch attraction artifact. The monophyly of magnoliids, as well as sister relationships between Magnoliales and Laurales, and between Canellales and Piperales, are all strongly supported. The sister relationship to eudicots of Ceratophyllum is not strongly supported by this study; instead a placement of the genus with Chloranthaceae receives moderate support in the mitochondrial gene analyses. Relationships among magnoliids, monocots, and eudicots remain unresolved. Direct comparisons of analytic results from several data partitions with or without RNA editing sites show that in multigene analyses, RNA editing has no effect on well supported relationships, but minor effect on weakly supported ones. Finally, comparisons of results from separate analyses of mitochondrial and chloroplast genes demonstrate that mitochondrial genes, with overall slower rates of substitution than chloroplast genes, are informative phylogenetic markers, and are particularly suitable for resolving deep relationships.

Canellales, a clade consisting of Winteraceae and Canellaceae, represent the smallest order of magnoliid angiosperms. The clade shows a broad distribution throughout the Southern Hemisphere, across a diverse range of dry to wet tropical forests. In contrast to their sister-group, Winteraceae, the phylogenetic relations and biogeography within Canellaceae remain poorly studied. Here we present the phylogenetic relationships of all currently recognized genera of Canellales with a special focus on the Old World Canellaceae using a combined dataset consisting of the chloroplast trnK-matK-trnK-psbA and the nuclear single copy gene mag1 (Maigo 1). Within Canellaceae we found high statistical support for the monophyly of Warburgia and Cinnamosma. However, we also found relationships that differ from previous studies. Cinnamodendron splitted into two clades, a South American clade and a second clade confined to the Antilles and adjacent areas. Cinnamodendron from the Antilles, as well as Capsicodendron, South American Cinnamodendron and Pleodendron were not monophyletic. Consequently, Capsicodendron should be included in the South American Cinnamodendron clade and the genus Pleodendron merged with the Cinnamodendron clade from the Antilles. We also found that Warburgia (restricted to mainland eastern Africa) together with the South American Cinnamodendron and Capsicodendron are sister to the Malagasy genus Cinnamosma. In addition to the unexpected geographical relationships, both biogeographic and molecular clock analyses suggest vicariance, extinction, and at least one intercontinental long-distance-dispersal event. Our dating result contrasts previous work on Winteraceae. Diversification of Winteraceae took place in the Paleocene, predating the Canellaceae diversification by 13 MA in the Eocene. The phylogenetic relationships for Canellaceae supported here offer a solid framework for a future taxonomic revision of the Canellaceae.

They are all bound, each to each by powers that are virtues; the path of each is traced and each one finds its own path. Andre Gide, 1897 The phylogeny of plants One of the best ways to understand variation is by comparison among related groups. Perhaps the greatest early success in this approach was that of Hoffmeister in the nineteenth century when he realised that the evolution of ovules and seeds could be best understood by understanding the variations of heterosporous and endosporic nonseed plants. The availability of an independently-derived phylogeny, from DNA sequence data, has vastly increased the power of this comparative approach. Looking at phylogeny it is clear that particular forms have evolved repeatedly. Time and again similar morphologies and anatomies have evolved separately in distinct lineages. These examples provide a key to understanding the evolution of plants not just in terms of adaptation, say in understanding a convergent feature as one that has evolved to fit a similar function, but perhaps more importantly in understanding the shared environmental and developmental processes that have constrained or permitted certain evolutionary pathways. The paths of diversity Imagine the map of diversity as if it were a city plan. There are the city blocks, at different longitudes and latitudes of morphology, anatomy, physiology and chemistry. These are the archetypes. They are connected by the paths that represent the developmental pathways between them.

Different applications of the magnoliid concept, and different conclusions as to which families should be included in the group, are a potential source of confusion in understanding early angiosperm evolution (Chapters 7, 8). However, recent phylogenetic studies have greatly clarified the situation and provide a firm basis for interpreting fossil material related to this important group of angiosperms. In this chapter we provide a brief outline of the current classification of eumagnoliids, and a review of those fossils, mainly from the Cretaceous, that can be assigned to the group. The fossil history of eumagnoliids is extensive, particularly from the Cenozoic, but there are also well-preserved and informative fossils from the Cretaceous. The early fossil record of eumagnoliids continues to increase rapidly as new palaeobotanical discoveries are made. Classification of eumagnoliids In the classification of Takhtajan (e.g. 1969) subclass Magnoliidae included six orders (Magnoliales, Laurales, Piperales, Aristolochiales, Rafflesiales, Nymphaeales), but it is now clear from phylogenetic analyses based on molecular data that this group is not monophyletic (e.g. Soltis et al ., 2005; APGIII, 2009). Several families are now recognised to comprise the ANITA grade; others have been placed elsewhere in the angiosperm tree. Four orders, Magnoliales, Laurales, Piperales and Canellales (Zanis et al ., 2003; APGIII, 2009), which were at the core of the former subclass Magnoliidae, comprise a monophyletic group, termed eumagnoliids by Soltis et al . (2000b) and magnoliids by APGIII (2009). Here we follow Soltis et al . (2000b) and refer to Magnoliales, Laurales, Piperales and Canellales as eumagnoliids. We use magnoliids informally in the broader conventional sense (Chapter 7). Magnoliales and Laurales form a clade that is sister to a clade comprising Piperales plus Canellales.

Xylem vessels have long been proposed as a key innovation for the ecological diversification of angiosperms by providing a breakthrough in hydraulic efficiency to support high rates of photosynthesis and growth. However, recent studies demonstrated that angiosperm woods with structurally "primitive" vessels did not have greater whole stem hydraulic capacities as compared to vesselless angiosperms. As an alternative to the hydraulic superiority hypothesis, the heteroxylly hypothesis proposes that subtle hydraulic efficiencies of primitive vessels over tracheids enabled new directions of functional specialization in the wood. However, the functional properties of early heteroxyllous wood remain unknown. We selected the two species of Canellales from Madagascar to test the heteroxylly hypothesis because Canellaceae (represented by Cinnamosma madagascariensis) produces wood with vessels of an ancestral form, while Winteraceae, the sister clade (represented by Takhtajania perrieri) is vesselless. We found that heteroxylly correlated with increased wood functional diversity related predominantly to biomechanical specialization. However, vessels were not associated with greater stem hydraulic efficiency or increased shoot hydraulic capacity. Our results support the heteroxylly hypothesis and highlight the importance integrating a broader ecological context to understand the evolution of vessels.

Phylogenetic analyses of representative species from the five genera of Winteraceae (Drimys, Pseudowintera, Takhtajania, Tasmannia, and Zygogynum s.l.) were performed using ITS nuclear sequences and a combined data-set of ITS + psbA-trnH + rpS16 sequences (sampling of 30 and 15 species, respectively). Indel informativity using simple gap coding or gaps as a fifth character was examined in both data-sets. Parsimony and Bayesian analyses support the monophyly of Drimys, Tasmannia, and Zygogynum s.l., but do not support the monophyly of Belliolum, Zygogynum s.s., and Bubbia. Within Drimys, the combined data-set recovers two subclades. Divergence time estimates suggest that the splitting between Drimys and its sister clade (Pseudowintera + Zygogynum s.l.) occurred around the end of the Cretaceous; in contrast, the divergence between the two subclades within Drimys is more recent (15.5–18.5 MY) and coincides in time with the Andean uplift. Estimates suggest that the earliest divergences within Winteraceae could have predated the first events of Gondwana fragmentation.
