    Abstract The genus Ribes (Grossulariaceae) is widespread across the northern hemisphere, but also species-rich in the tropical Andes. In the Peruvian Andes the genus is mostly found in at least seasonally moist cloud and scrub forests, subparamo habitats and hedges. However, some taxa are from more extreme habitats in semi-arid habitats of the western slope of the Andes (Andean scrub, Ribes ovalifolium) respectively high Andean puna and paramo habitats at elevations of up to 5100 m asl (Ribes cuneifolium and some doubtful segregates). These species share small, weakly divided leaves, making them quite atypical for the genus, usually with large, deeply three- to five-lobed leaves. Both the geographical ranges and the species delimitation for both taxa are poorly understood. We here propose the recognition of only two, well-differentiated species. Ribes ovalifolium can be shown to be wide-ranging from northern Ancash to Tacna, covering nearly the entire western flank of the Peruvian Andes. Similarly, Ribes cuneifolium can be shown to represent a single, wide-ranging species from high elevations of San Martín/La Libertad to Cuzco. There is considerable diversity on details of indument, flower color and leaf shape, but no clear dividing lines permitting the recognition of segregates such as Ribes incertum J.F.Macbr. The only exception are cloud-forest populations of Ribes cuneifolium in Pasco, which we propose to segregate as a new subspecies Ribes cuneifolium subsp. pascoense based on their considerably larger leaves and inflorescences.

    Abstract PREMISE: Daffodils (Narcissus, Amaryllidaceae) are iconic ornamentals with a complex floral biology and many fragrant species; however, little is known about floral plant volatile organic compounds (pVOCs) across the genus and additional sampling is desirable. The present study investigates whether the floral scent of 20 species of Narcissus can be characterized using gas chromatography–coupled ion mobility spectrometry (GC–IMS), with the aim of building a comparative pVOC data set for ecological and evolutionary studies. METHODS: We used a commercial GC–IMS equipped with an integrated in‐line enrichment system for a fast, sensitive, and automated pVOC analysis. This facilitates qualitative and (semi)‐quantitative measurements without sample preparation. RESULTS: The GC–IMS provided detailed data on floral pVOCs in Narcissus with very short sampling times and without floral enclosure. A wide range of compounds was recorded and partially identified. The retrieved pVOC patterns showed a good agreement with published data, and five “chemotypes” were characterized as characteristic combinations of floral volatiles. DISCUSSION: The GC–IMS setup can be applied to rapidly generate large amounts of pVOC data with high sensitivity and selectivity. The preliminary data on Narcissus obtained here indicate both considerable pVOC variability and a good correspondence of the pVOC patterns with infrageneric classification, supporting the hypothesis that floral scent could represent a considerable phylogenetic signal.

    Abstract The grape hyacinth (Muscari) represents an important ornamental plant group in Asparagaceae subfamily Scilloideae, comprising some 80 species distributed mainly in the Mediterranean. However, genus delimitation has repeatedly shifted over the past two centuries and a general consensus has not been reached so far. The present study investigates the phylogeny of Muscari s.l. (i.e., including the disputed segregates Pseudomuscari and Leopoldia) with a broad sampling of about half the currently recognized species using both chloroplast markers (trnK(matK)‐psbA, trnL‐trnF, rpl16) and genome‐wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data generated by double‐digest restriction site‐associated DNA sequencing (ddRAD). We perform concatenated maximum likelihood inference for both datasets as well as a coalescent‐based approach and principal component analysis (PCA) on the ddRAD data. We find that the morphological characters traditionally used to distinguish different genera are not diagnostic for the clades here retrieved. Also, the segregates Pseudomuscari and Leopoldia are deeply nested in Muscari and we therefore propose a broadly defined Muscari with five subgenera. The subgenera roughly correspond to previously recognized entities, with the exception of the newly identified clade here proposed as M. subg. Pulchella subg. nov. We provide a provisional assignment of the 80 currently accepted taxa to these subgenera.

    Abstract Reproductive systems and pollination modes (pollination by animals vs. wind) can switch within clades, and many species with an intermediate pollination mode (ambophily, pollination by animals and wind) exist. Here, we investigate the reproductive systems and pollination modes of two common Eurasian species from the Agrimonieae (Rosaceae) that occur in open habitats, Sanguisorba minor and Sanguisorba officinalis. Based on observations from literature, the flowers of both species are visited by insects, but due to flower morphology S. minor is commonly regarded as wind pollinated, while S. officinalis is classified as insect pollinated. By measuring floral traits, such as pollen grain and ovule number per flower, observing flower visitors in natural habitats as well as in the botanical gardens and conducting pollination experiments we found that the reproductive systems and pollination modes of the two species differ: Sanguisorba minor is commonly but infrequently visited by short‐tongued insects but is nevertheless exclusively wind pollinated. However, in contrast to most other wind‐pollinated species, S. minor is highly self‐compatible and even able to set seeds by autogamous selfing. Sanguisorba officinalis, on the other hand, is largely insect pollinated, but wind also contributes to seed set (⁓17% after insect exclusion). This species is able to set seeds by geitonogmous selfing but seed set is higher by outcrossing than by selfing. Thus, our study demonstrates another example of a plant species with small, open flowers arranged in large inflorescences that can be shown to be ambophilous. Further, the study will help to reconstruct the complex evolution of pollination modes in Agrimonieae (Rosaceae).

    Abstract Biomineralization is a common phenomenon in plants and has been shown to be chemically, functionally and topologically diverse. Silica and calcium carbonate have long been known as structural plant biominerals and calcium phosphate (apatite)-long known from animals-has recently been reported. Strikingly, up to three different biominerals may occur in a single trichome in, e.g., Urticaceae and Loasaceae, and in combination with organic compounds, can form organic/inorganic composite materials. This article presents an extension of previous studies on the distribution of these biominerals in Loasaceae trichomes with a focus on their spatial (three-dimensional) distribution and co-localization with organic substances. Light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy with high-resolution EDX element analyses of sample surfaces and sections illustrate the differential distribution and composition of the different biomineral phases across cell surfaces and cell walls. Raman spectroscopy additionally permits the identification of organic and inorganic compounds side by side. All three biominerals may be found in a nearly pure inorganic phase, e.g., on the plant surfaces and in the barbs of the glochidiate trichomes, or in combination with a larger proportion of organic compounds (cellulose, pectin). The cell lumen may be additionally filled with amorphous mineral deposits. Water-solubility of the mineral fractions differs considerably. Plant trichomes provide an exciting model system for biomineralization and enable the

    Abstract Leaves of the majority of plants contain calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals or druses which often occur in spectacular distribution patterns. Numerous studies on CaOx in plant tissues across many different plant groups have been published, since it can be visualised readily under a light microscope (LM). However, there is surprisingly limited knowledge on the actual, precise distribution of CaOx in the leaves of quite ordinary plants such as common native and exotic trees. Traditional sample preparation for the documentation of the distribution of CaOx crystals in a given sample - including overall distribution - requires time-consuming clearing procedures. Here we present a refined fast preparation method to visualise the overall CaOx complement in a sample: The plant material is ashed and the ash viewed under the polarising microscope. This is a rapid method which overcomes many shortcomings of other methods and permits the visualisation of the entire CaOx content in most leaf samples. Pros and cons in comparison with the conventional clearing technique are discussed. Further aspects for CaOx investigations by micro-CT and scanning electron microscopy are discussed.

    Abstract Ambophily, the mixed mode of wind and insect pollination is still poorly understood, even though it has been known to science for over 130 years. While its presence has been repeatedly inferred, experimental data remain regrettably rare. No specific suite of morphological or ecological characteristics has yet been identified for ambophilous plants and their ecology and evolution remain uncertain. In this review we summarise and evaluate our current understanding of ambophily, primarily based on experimental studies. A total of 128 ambophilous species - including several agriculturally important crops - have been reported from most major habitat types worldwide, but this probably represents only a small subset of ambophilous species. Ambophilous species have evolved both from wind- and insect-pollinated ancestors, with insect-pollinated ancestors mostly representing pollination by small, generalist flower visitors. We compiled floral and reproductive traits for known ambophilous species and compared our results to traits of species pollinated either by wind or by small generalist insects only. Floral traits were found to be heterogeneous and strongly overlap especially with those of species pollinated by small generalist insects, which are also the prominent pollinator group for ambophilous plants. A few ambophilous species are only pollinated by specialised bees or beetles in addition to pollination by wind. The heterogeneity of floral traits and high similarity to generalist small insect-pollinated species lead us to conclude that ambophily is not a separate pollination syndrome but includes species belonging to different insect- as well as wind-pollination syndromes. Ambophily therefore should be regarded as a pollination mode. We found that a number of ecological factors promoted the evolution of ambophily, including avoidance of pollen limitation and self-pollination, spatial flower interference and population density. However, the individual ecological factors favouring the transition to ambophily vary among species depending on species distribution, habitat, population structure and reproductive system. Finally, a number of experimental studies in combination with observations of floral traits of living and fossil species and dated phylogenies may indicate evolutionary stability. In some clades ambophily has likely prevailed for millions of years, for example in the castanoid clade of the Fagaceae.

    Abstract Disjunct clades between the southern and the tropical Andes represent a biogeographical pattern that has not been studied. One of the plant groups showing this disjunction is the clade formed by the genera Archidasyphyllum, Arnaldoa and Fulcaldea (Asteraceae, Barnadesioideae). Archidasyphyllum is distributed in central and southern Chile and adjacent Argentina and is sister to the latter two, which in turn form a clade centered in northern Peru and southern Ecuador, with one species of Fulcaldea in Bahia, Brazil. The western American clades are separated by a distance of ca. 2500 km in direct line and have no representatives through the entire arid and hyperarid regions of the Pacific deserts and the dry Puna. We hypothesized that the Neogene origin of aridity in this intervening area might be responsible for this disjunction. To address this hypothesis, we estimated divergence times and ancestral range and quantified the climatic niches of the respective clades and compared them to each other and with the intervening area. Our results suggest a Miocene split of this clade from an ancestor previously distributed in the Central Andes, where the species of this clade are currently absent. Colonization of NE Brazil by Fulcaldea may have occurred during the Pliocene. The niche analysis rejects climatic niche conservatism and the intervening area is found to be climatically different from the current ranges occupied by either clade. We suggest that the global cooling trend in the Miocene and concomitant hyperaridity in the Pacific deserts and southern Central Andean highlands played a crucial role in the formation of this disjunct pattern and that the climatic niches of each clade have subsequently shifted in different directions.
