two new genera and three new combinations in neotropical Capparaceae
Harvard papers in botany, 2011Co-Authors: Hugh H. Iltis, Xavier CornejoAbstract:Abstract. Two new genera and three new combinations are proposed herein for Neotropical Capparaceae: Caphexandra, a monospecific genus of shrubs or small trees from southern Mexico to Panama, distinguished by the branchlets with subterminal small cataphylls on the raceme axis, calyces with closed aestivation in bud with the outer pair of sepals enclosing the dimorphic inner pair, asymmetric corollas with large unguiculate petals, long (2–5 mm) narrowly-lanceolate floral nectaries, and six stamens arranged in one whorl, which at anthesis forms adaxially an hemiorbicular arc opposite to the gynophore. Caphexandra is represented only by the new combination C. heydeana, a species of horticultural interest herein transferred from Capparis, and Preslianthus, a genus of shrubs or trees from Nicaragua to Brazil, characterized by a stellate pubescence, and flowers with stamens conspicuously accrescent just before anthesis. Preslianthus comprises the following two species, herein proposed as new combinations, also ...

studies in the cleomaceae i on the separate recognition of Capparaceae cleomaceae and brassicaceae1
Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden, 2011Co-Authors: Hugh H. Iltis, Jocelyn C. Hall, Theodore S Cochrane, Kenneth J. SytsmaAbstract:Abstract Molecular data support the recognition of three monophyletic families, Capparaceae s. str., Cleomaceae, and Brassicaceae, instead of an all-encompassing Brassicaceae or a paraphyletic Capparaceae s.l. This view is reinforced with many figures showing two basic and ubiquitous differences in cleomoid seed structure. First, the more or less strongly incurved seed, varying from reniform to horseshoe-shaped, coiled or conduplicate, uniformly and in all species, results in a deep invagination of the testa (the cleft) projecting into the interval between the two ends, or claws, of the embryo (this invagination is absent or rarely reduced and atavistic in Brassicaceae, and infrequent in Capparaceae s. str., i.e., in some Capparis L. species and Crateva L., sister genus to all remaining Capparaceae s. str.). Second, the uniformly semicylindric, strictly incumbent cotyledons are small and narrow, but are never foliaceous and interfolded, circinate or convoluted, or massive and thick, as in the often accumb...

neocapparis generic status and new name for capparidastrum subgenus pachycarpum Capparaceae
Harvard Papers in Botany, 2017Co-Authors: Xavier CornejoAbstract:Abstract. Based on morphological characters and recent molecular evidence, Capparidastrum subgenus Pachycarpum (Capparaceae) is raised to generic status. As Pachycarpus is a previous and valid generic name of Apocynaceae (Asclepiadoideae), Neocapparis is here proposed as a new generic name for Capparidastrum subgenus Pachycarpum. Two new combinations for species previously placed in Capparidastrum are presented here: Neocapparis pachaca and Neocapparis quina. The new genus is restricted to Neotropical dry forests, ranging from Mexico to northern Colombia and Venezuela and disjunct to western Ecuador and Peru. Illustrations of species and full citation of collections are provided.

Korean Journal of Plant Taxonomy, 2013Co-Authors: Sy Danh Thuong, Xavier Cornejo, Gordon C Tucker, Joongku LeeAbstract:ABSTRACT : Capparis sikkimensis Kurz subsp. masaikai (H. Lev.) Jacobs, is being reported as addition to theflora of Vietnam. Line drawing of the taxon has been provided in support of taxonomic treatment and to facil-itate easy identification of the species. Keywords : Capparis sikkimensis Kurz subsp. masaikai, new record, Capparaceae, Vietnam. 적요 : 베트남에서 발견된 Capparis sikkimensis Kurz subsp. Masaikai (H. Lev.) Jacobs 를 베트남 미기록 분류군으로 보고하고 분류학적 처리 및 식별을 위한 도해를 첨부하였다. 주요어 : Capparis sikkimensis Kurz subsp. masaikai, 미기록, 풍접초과, 베트남Capparis L. is the largest genus in the family Capparaceaewith approximately 250 species (Mabberley, 2008) distributedmostly in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide and somein temperate regions (Zhang & Tucker, 2008). In Vietnam, thegenus is represented by 37 species (Pham, 1993). During thecourse of revisionary work on the Capparaceae in Vietnam,we came across an interesting specimen of Capparis housedin the herbarium of Institute of Ecology and BiologicalResource, Hanoi (HN). After thorough morphological studywith help of the relevant literature (Zhang & Tucker, 2003;Jacobs, 1965; Pham, 1999), identified as Capparis sikkimensisKurz subsp. masaikai (H. Lev.) Jacobs, a new distributionalrecord for Vietnam. This taxon was so far known only fromChina (Zhang & Tucker, 2008) and had never been recordedin Vietnam. A detailed description along with illustration (Fig.1) has been provided to aid species identification. *Author for correspondence: joongku@kribb.re.krhttp://www.pltaxa.or.krCopyright © 2013 the Korean Society of Plant Taxonomists

Annales Botanici Fennici, 2013Co-Authors: Sy Danh Thuong, Xavier Cornejo, Ritesh Kumar Choudhary, Gordon C Tucker, Joongku LeeAbstract:Capparis daknongensis D.T. Sy, G.C. Tucker, Cornejo & Joongku Lee, a new species of Capparaceae from Dak Nong province, Vietnam, is described and illustrated. It is morphologically similar to C. khuamak, but differs in having pruinose twigs, fewer stamens, longer filaments and gynophore, and a different fruit morphology.

a new species of capparis l Capparaceae from sumatra indonesia
Adansonia, 2021Co-Authors: Silvio FiciAbstract:A new species of Capparis L., C. irenae Fici, sp. nov., is described and illustrated from Tigapuluh Mts., Riau Province of Sumatra, where it is known from a single locality in forest communities. The new species, belonging to Capparis sect. Monostichocalyx Radlk., is related to C. diffusa Ridl., differing in several characters as the glabrous twigs, longer petioles and leaves, flowers arranged in racemes with cataphylls at the base, longer petals hairy outside and longer filaments. Its affinities with other related taxa and its conservation status are discussed. Moreover a distribution map of the new species and an identification key to the species of Capparis recognized in Sumatra are provided.

studies on the genus capparis l Capparaceae in lao pdr
Webbia, 2016Co-Authors: Silvio FiciAbstract:Southeastern Asia is one of the main centres of diversity of the genus Capparis in the Old World. Morpho-chorological investigations carried out on collections from Lao PDR provided new data on the variation and distribution of some intrageneric taxa that were critical, poorly known or unrecorded in the country. The variability of Capparis pyrifolia and Capparis zeylanica is discussed, while Capparis acutifolia subsp. acutifolia and Capparis tenera are respectively confirmed and first recorded in Lao PDR. A new variety of Capparis micracantha is described and 12 lectotypes are designated. For each taxon morphological, chorological and autecological data are given.

quaternary ammonium compounds in roots and leaves of capparis spinosa l from saudi arabia and italy investigation by hplc ms and 1h nmr
Natural Product Research, 2019Co-Authors: Amal Altamimi, Mohamad Khatib, Giuseppe Pieraccini, Nadia MulinacciAbstract:Capparis spinosa L. is a perennial plant typical of the Mediterranean flora and a multipurpose plant used for curing various human ailments. Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), as constituents of Capparaceae, play important roles in protecting against abiotic stress. Aim of this work was to determine QACs in root and leaves of caper from two proveniences. The presence of stachydrine, choline, glycine betaine and homo-stachydrine has been confirmed by high resolution MS, while 1H NMR was applied to quantify the main QACs in the aqueous extracts. Stachydrine was quantified at 20.2 mg/g and 32.3 mg/g on dry leaves from South of Italy and Saudi Arabia, respectively, while a minor content was in dry roots (from 10.4 to 12.5 mg/g). Choline was considerably lower both in leaves and roots (from 0.3 to 1.2 mg/g). To our knowledge, this is the first report on the determination of QACs both in root and leaves of C. spinosa.
