Revision of Gonolobus S.s. (apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae) in the West Indies
نویسنده
چکیده
A revision of Gonolobus s.s. (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae: Gonolobinae) in the West Indies is provided based on recent evidence of support for the monophyly of the genus from molecular and morphological data. Ten species are recognized (eight endemic to a single island each). Keys, descriptions, and illustrations are provided for all ten species. The conservation status of each species is provisionally assessed using IUCN and NatureServe criteria. Gonolobus stapelioides is neotypified. Two new combinations are made in Matelea: M. dictyopetala and M. pubescens.
