During a taxonomic revision of Selaginella from the Himalaya which is part ongoing “Flora Pan-Himalaya” project, we studied taxonomy monospora and its closely related species. We found that S. microclada once treated as synonym should be accepted distinct In contrast, trichophylla, var. ciliolata, medogensis, effusa dulongjiangensis are reduced to synonymy based on molecular phylogenetic analys...

A recent molecular phylogenetic analysis identified a clade containing all species of Conostegia, but that also included species of Clidemia and Miconia nested inside. A taxonomic revision of a more broadly circumscribed Conostegia is presented here. In total, 77 species of Conostegia are recognized. One species from Ecuador, Conostegia ortizae is described as new. Twenty-nine new combinations ...
