Journal ArticleDOI

Mapping the biosphere: exploring species to understand the origin, organization and sustainability of biodiversity

TL;DR: It is concluded that an ambitious goal to describe 10 million species in less than 50 years is attainable based on the strength of 250 years of progress, worldwide collections, existing experts, technological innovation and collaborative teamwork.
Journal ArticleDOI

Outcomes of the 2011 Botanical Nomenclature Section at the XVIII International Botanical Congress

TL;DR: The title was broadened to make explicit that the Code applies not only to plants, but also to algae and fungi, and the requirement for a Latin validating diagnosis or description was changed to allow either English or Latin for these essential components of the publication of a new name.
Journal ArticleDOI

From capsules to nutlets-phylogenetic relationships in the Boraginales.

TL;DR: There appear to be clear morphological progressions in vegetative, floral, and fruit morphology in both major Boraginales lineages, and capsular fruits are found in the first branching lineages of both clades, whereas reduced seed numbers in indehiscent fruits predominate in the more derived phylogenetic positions.
ComponentDOI

Generic classification in the Cordiaceae (Boraginales): resurrection of the genus Varronia P. Br.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Cordiaceae comprise three genera, all of which are monophyletic and consistent with vegetative, floral, and pollen morphology, and Varronia is sister to the rest of the genus and its resurrection as a distinct genus is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Addressing target two of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation by rapidly identifying plants at risk

TL;DR: Two streamlined methods for identifying those plant species considered At Risk under the GSPC Target two are compared and contrasted and both use readily available locality data from herbarium specimens to efficiently identify At Risk species and approximate the list of species that would be identified as threatened by Red List analyses.
