Towards a stable generic circumscription in Oxypetalinae (Apocynaceae)

چکیده
Based on phylogenetic studies and morphological evidence, we propose the synonymization of Morrenia and Schistogyne under Araujia and Oxypetalum respectively. As a result, eight new combinations are proposed in Araujia (A. brachystephana, A. hassleriana, A. herzogii, A. odorata, A. scalae, A. stuckertiana, A. stuckertiana subsp. grandiflora and A. variegata), and eight in Oxypetalum, including two new names (O. fiebrigii, O. heptalobum, O. karstenianum, O. longipedunculatum, O. pentaseta, O. pubescens, O. sylvestre and O. tucumanense). We provide new synonymies and designate lectotypes for Lagenia megapotamica, Morrenia hassleriana, M. herzogii, M. intermedia, Schistogyne boliviensis, S. longipedunculata and S. sylvestris. We also clarify the typification of Tweedia.

Notes on the Matelea Bayatensis-correllii-tigrina Complex (apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae: Gonolobinae) in the Greater Antilles and Bahamas
As a component of a larger study of the West Indian Matelea subgenus Ptycanthera, this study sought to critically examine patterns of morphological variation within the embedded M. bayatensiscorrellii-tigrina complex. Resolution of species-level circumscriptions are necessary before larger issues of subgeneric and generic circumscription can be adequately addressed. Morphological characters wer...

A new species from Honduras, Tintinnabularia murallensis, is described and illustrated. The new species broadens the current circumscription of the genus. An illustration of the new species is provided, as is a distribution map for all recognized species of the genus.
متن کاملCircumscription and Generic Mathematical Objects
We investigate the possibility of using circumscription for characterizing the concept of a generic object in the context of a formalized mathematical theory. We show that conventional circumscriptive policies do not give the intuitively expected results for elementary geometry , and that there is a common explanation for this failure and the failure of circumscription in some standard instance...
متن کاملForward Human Reasoning Modeled by Logic Programming Modeled by Classical Logic with Circumscription and Projection
Recently an approach to model human reasoning as studied in cognitive science by logic programming, has been introduced by Stenning and van Lambalgen and exemplified with the suppression task. We investigate this approach from the view of a framework where different logic programming semantics correspond to different translations of logic programs into formulas of classical two-valued logic ext...
متن کاملOn the Concept of Generic Object: A Nonmonotonic Reasoning Approach and Examples
In this paper we discuss the logical and commonsense intuitions behind the concept of generic object and the possibility of characterizing this concept by means of both classical rst{order logic and circumscription. We also show that circumscription can be used in the characterization of the concept of generic point of a curve, as it appears in algebraic geometry. Finally, we show that several ...
