The systematic biology of the palm family (Arecaceae) is probably better known than that of
any other tropical plant family of comparable size. As a result, the palms are now regarded …

Background Over the past decade, phylogenomics has greatly advanced our knowledge of
angiosperm evolution. However, phylogenomic studies of large angiosperm families with …

Although the palm flora of continental Africa totals just 66 species, they are amongst the
most useful plants across the continent, providing many important resources for human …

Phylogenetic relationships within Araceae tribe Schismatoglottideae are elucidated based
on nuclear ITS and plastid matK. Thirty genera are recognised, composed of 13 pre-existing …

Under the old taxon Principes, palms were once the Princes of the Kingdom Plantae. First on
Engler's list, they occupy a cherished place to botanists, and remain treasured centerpieces …

Two new paniculate species of Nepenthes, N. halmahera and N. weda, both allied to N.
danseri Jebb & Cheek, are described respectively from lowland and lower montane forest …

Papua has so many wide lowland areas that cover high diversity in plant from life-forms. In
contrast, there is a lack of information concerning species diversity. The objectives of the …

This paper provides an up‐to‐date linear sequence of monocot families and genera
(excluding Orchidaceae and Poaceae) based on current phylogenetic evidence. The …

Aim Fruit selection by animal dispersers with different mobility directly impacts plant
geographical range size, which, in turn, may impact plant diversification. Here, we examine …

A review of new data relating to Nepenthes insignis in Indonesia indicates that three taxa in
section Insignes, not one, are present in New Guinea. One of these, endemic to the …
