The external pollen morphology has been investigated in 45 taxa of Gnaphalieae (Compositae), predominantly from New Zealand, by means of light microscopy and SEM. Pollen grains of all taxa examined are more or less spheroidal and echinate. Features regarded as particularly distinctive include size, spine density, spine length, spine shape and nature of perforations. It is shown that the pollen grains provide characters which are taxonomically useful in classification of New Zealand Gnaphalieae…

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE POLLEN MORPHOLOGY OF THE INULA GENUS FROM HUNGARY

The scanning electron microscopy results are encouraging for more detailed examination of the species, because of the differences between the seven species the authors found can be conclusive for taxonomic conclusions.

LEAF ANATOMY OF RAOULIA HOOK.F. (COMPOSITAE, GNAPHALIEAE)

It is shown that leaf anatomy data provide characters which are taxonomically useful in Raoulia and the main subgenera are supported except that the leaf anatomy of R. haastii is anomalous and that ofR.

Morphological evidence for the tribal position of Haastia (Asteraceae)

The weight of the evidence favours inclusion in Senecioneae and suggests affiliation to Brachyglottis in accordance with recent phylogenetic analyses of ITS and 5' trnK/matK intron sequences that place Haastia in a Senecionae clade with BrachyGlottis and allied genera.

Phylogeny and Classification of Brachyglottis (Senecioneae, Asteraceae): An Example of a Rapid Species Radiation in New Zealand

Phylogenetic analyses of ITS and 5′ trnK/matK spacer sequences were undertaken for 39 species representing the range of morphological variation in the genus Brachyglottis and putative outgroups, suggesting that Brachy glottis as currently circumscribed is paraphyletic and a more inclusive monophyletic group was supported.

Systematics of New Zealand Inuleae (Compositae)—4 a taxonomic review

An evaluation is presented of the exceptionally large number of name changes, particularly of generic attribution, proposed for New Zealand gnaphalioid taxa principally in the past decade, and some other changes, including the establishment of Ewartiothamnus, the resurrection of Psychrophyton, and the relocation of New Zealand species of Helichrysum require further study.

PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS IN AUSTRALASIAN GNAPHALIEAE (COMPOSITAE) INFERRED FROM ITS SEQUENCES

Abstract Analyses of ITS sequences of Australasian Gnaphalieae reveal at least six distinct lineages of Gnaphalieae in New Zealand. Our results suggest that the New Zealand species of Craspedia form…

A revision of Cassinia (Asteraceae: Gnaphalieae) in Australia. 1. Introduction and generic and infrageneric considerations

Cassinia can be satisfactorily defined as a genus distinct from 'core' Ozothamnus, as a precursor to a series of papers describing the species of Cassinia (including a large number of new taxa).

Phylogenetic relationships and character evolution in New Zealand and selected Australian Gnaphalieae (Compositae) inferred from morphological and anatomical data

A phylogenetic analysis of 42 species of Gnaphalieae was conducted, using 57 morphological, anatomical and palynological characters, to test the monophyly of this group and to seek evidence of generic relationships.

Biosystematics and taxonomy of the Ozothamnus leptophyllus (compositae) complex in New Zealand

Strong congruence is found between the results of morphological and AFLP analyses, indicating that the morphological pattems of variation have a genetic basis and support the presence of distinct entities showing variation at a similar level.

A light, scanning electron, and transmission electron microscopic study of pollen wall architecture in the subtribe Gnaphaliinae (Gnaphalieae, Asteraceae)

The pollen morphology and exine structure of 10 genera and 15 species of Gnaphaliinae were investigated using light, scanning electron, and transmission electron microscopy to better understand relationships within the Asteroideae and it is suggested that either Astereae, AstereAE-Anthemideae clade, or Heliantheae s.l.-Anthemides clade are the best candidates for the sister taxon/sister group of Gn Aphalieae.

Pollen morphology of Phagnalon and Aliella (Asteraceae, Gnaphalieae) and its taxonomical implications

Both the pollen morphology and ultrastructure corroborate the hypothesis that Phagnalon and Aliella belong to the basal complex of the tribe Gnaphalieae, rather than to a more derived group of that tribe, or to the Inuleae.

Systematics of New Zealand Inuleae (Compositae-Asteraceae)—3 Numerical phenetic analysis of leaf anatomy and flavonoids

Results indicate that on the basis of overall similarity in this suite of characters, Leucogenes is a good genus and an undescribed taxon of Inuleae is a distinct monotypic genus.

Comparative leaf anatomy of New Zealand and Tasmanian Inuleae (Compositae)

It is shown that leaf anatomy data provide characters which are taxonomically useful in classification of Inuleae.

A fresh approach to the classification of the genus Gnaphalium with particular reference to the species present in New Zealand (inuleae-compositae)

An extensive comparative morphological survey of the Gnaphalium genus in the context of related Compositae was undertaken, finding that the genus as defined at present is heterogeneous.

Systematics of New Zealand Inuleae (Compositae-Asteraceae)—1 A numerical phenetic study of the species of Raoulia

Numerical phenetic analysis showed that, on the basis of overall morphological similarity, boundaries of presently accepted species are clear-cut except between R. mammillaris and R. bryoides, and three undescribed taxa warrant specific status.

The tribal position of Oedera L. (Compositae)

The South African genus Oedera L. (Compositae-Anthemideae) is shown to be closely related to the South African genera Relhania and Leysera and a transfer of OederA from the tribe Anthemideae to the tribe Inuleae is proposed.

Pollen of australian species of parsonsia (apocynaceae)

Differences in pollen size were found between some species, with diameters ranging from 19 um-55 pm, and differences in the number of apertures per grain, with invariably 3 in one species, 4 in another and, depending on the species 2 and 3; 2, 3 and 4; 3,4, 5 and 6, in others.
