Observations on the Phytogeography of the Lecythidaceae Clade (brazil Nut Family)
The Lecythidaceae clade of the order Ericales is distributed in Africa (including Madagascar), Asia in the broadest sense, and South and Central America. Distribution maps are included for the Lecythidaceae clade as follows: family maps for Napoleonaeaceae and Scytopetalaceae; subfamily maps for the Barringtonioideae, Foetidioideae, and Lecythidoideae, and maps for the subclades of Lecythidacea...
متن کاملRelationships of phytogeography and diversity of tropical tree species with limestone topography in southern Belize
Aim The flora of northern Mesoamerica conventionally has been thought to be derived from taxa that emigrated from South America, but this view has recently been challenged as too simple. The dominance of limestone substrata in much of northern Mesoamerica, and its rarity in the rest of the continental Neotropics, may be one cause of the complexity of northern Mesoamerican floristics. Furthermor...
متن کاملPhytogeography of the Kaieteur Falls, Potaro Plateau, Guyana: floral distributions and affinities
There are many historical factors that influence the distribution of taxa, ranging from the movements of the tectonic plates which cause significant changes in the terrain and climate of many ancient habitats, to Pleistocene climatic changes which contributed to recent plant diversification. In addition, habitat characteristics, such as hydrology, topography and soil types, as well as ecologica...
متن کاملThe Phytogeography and Ecology of the Coastal Atacama and Peruvian Deserts
The Atacama and Peruvian Deserts form a continuous belt for more than 3500 km along the western escarpment of the Andes from northern Peru to northernmost Chile. These arid environments are due to a climatic regime dominated by the cool, north-flowing Humboldt (Peruvian) Current. Atmospheric conditions influenced by a stable, subtropical anticyclone result in a mild, uniform coastal climate nea...
متن کاملPireella cymbifolia (Pterobryaceae) new to the flora, with comments on sea level and other factors influencing the phytogeography of Bermuda
The isolated North Atlantic island of Bermuda, lying 1000 km ESE of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, USA, has received scant attention from bryologists since the last compilations of nearly a century ago (EG Britton, 1918; Evans, 1918), plus a few additions (Andrews, 1923; Dixon, 1936). Of the mosses listed by EG Britton (1918), those that are not widespread in both Europe and North America are o...
