Phylogenetic relationships of Juncaceae and related families of Cyperales were investigated using DNA sequence data from the plastid rps16 intron, trnL intron, and trnL–F intergenic spacer. Results using parsimony analysis of the aligned matrices find Juncaceae and Cyperaceae to be monophyletic families, which form a clade sister to a monophyletic Thurniaceae that includes Prionium (Prioniaceae...

The purpose of this study was to assess the phylogenetic utility of a large insertion (3 bp) in the 5.8S gene of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) in Cyperaceae and selected Juncaceae. This was done by reconstructing the character evolution of the insertion on a phylogeny derived from rbcL sequences. Results suggest that the insertion was gained once at the base of Cyperaceae followed by multiple l...

Juncus quartinianus (Juncaceae sect. Ozophyllum) was described by Richard in 1851 from Ethiopia. Some authors have treated this species as a synonym of J. fontanesii and others as a synonym of J. oxycarpus. Based on morphological analyses of flowers, fruit and seeds, we propose to restore J. quartinianus as a distinct species from both these taxa. Its detailed re-description and an identificati...

The genus Trionymus (Berg, 1899) (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae) was investigated based on samples collected plants from Poaceae, Cyperaceae and Juncaceae in Aydın Province, Turkey, between 2019 2020. specimens of the new species were Juncus acutus L. (Poales: Juncaceae) slide-mounted. In total, 10 examined under a microscope illustrations prepared. As result study, oncueri sp. n. Kayd...

Abstract The checklist includes 270 species that belong to 80 families and 183 genera. Each has been annotated with the following information: life form, wetland indicator status, location. In this checklist, Angiosperms are represented by 252 (93.3%), Bryophytes – 10 (3.7%), Pteridophytes 8 (3%), Gymnosperms 1 (0.4%). largest number of Cyperaceae 39 (14.4%), Poaceae 29 (10.7%), Rosaceae 19 (7....

Juncus L. (Juncaceae) is a genus of annual and perennial herbs composed approximately 310 species distributed worldwide, but more rarely found in the tropics. Despite an increasing number karyological studies Juncaceae, reports on chromosome numbers Korean taxa have been scarce owing to small size. Here, we present detailed information obtained from 36 individuals 10 taxa. Chromosome eight (J. ...
