TLDR
In this paper, the Neotropical genera Ruizodendron and Pseudephedranthus (Annonaceae) have been extended beyond the Upper Rio Negro region of Brazil (Amazonas) and adjacent Venezuela (P. fragrans), to include Guyana, Suriname, and the Brazilian state of Para.
Abstract
We present revisions of the Neotropical genera Ruizodendron and Pseudephedranthus (Annonaceae). Ruizodendron includes a single species R. ovale. Pseudephedranthus now comprises two species, with the description of the new species P. enigmaticus sp. nov. extending the range of the genus beyond the Upper Rio Negro region of Brazil (Amazonas) and adjacent Venezuela (P. fragrans), to include Guyana, Suriname, and the Brazilian state of Para. An overview is provided of current revisions of Neotropical Annonaceae genera that will aid in accessing proper species information for this frequently encountered tropical rain forest family.

Accelerated diversification correlated with functional traits shapes extant diversity of the early divergent angiosperm family Annonaceae.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the liana habit, the presence of circadian pollinator trapping, androdioecy, and the dispersal of seeds as single-seeded monocarp fragments are closely correlated with higher diversification rates; pollen aggregation and anther septation, in contrast, are associated with lower diverification rates.

Genus Huberantha (Annonaceae) Revisited: Erection of Polyalthiopsis, a New Genus for H. floribunda, with a New Combination H. luensis

TL;DR: The identity of an enigmatic species Huberantha floribunda (Annonaceae) is reassessed using molecular phylogenetic analyses of up to seven combined plastid markers and a new combination for Polyalthiopsis luensis is made based on an integrative approach of morphological examination coupled with molecular phylogenetics inferences.

Phylogenomics and evolution of floral traits in the Neotropical tribe Malmeeae (Annonaceae)

TL;DR: The morphology of male and bisexual flowers of Pseudoxandra spiritus-sancti is described, and the evolution of androdioecy in Malmeeae is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Twelve new and exciting Annonaceae from the Neotropics.

TL;DR: 12 new species of Annona, Guatteria, Klarobelia, Tetrameranthus, and Xylopia are described to illustrate the still underestimated diversity of the Neotropical flora, even in well studied plant groups like Annonaceae.

‘Andean‐centred’ genera in the short‐branch clade of Annonaceae: testing biogeographical hypotheses using phylogeny reconstruction and molecular dating

TL;DR: Whether Andean‐centred plant groups could have originated on the South American continent during the time frame of the Andean orogeny is tested by reconstructing phylogeny in the short‐branch clade (SBC) of Annonaceae, and estimating the timing of diversifications in four apparently Andean-centred genera.

Flowers of annonaceae: Morphology, classification, and evolution

TL;DR: The present paper describes the diversity in floral characters of Annonaceae and their distribution over the family, and discusses their value for classification and generic delimitation, and learns that floral characters different from those in previous classifications should be used if one aims at a better correlation with non-floral features.

TL;DR: The Annonaceae, a woody tropical or sub-tropical family of flowering plants, are represented in the United States and Canada by eleven species, one of which is the northernmost-ranging member of a large, principally tropical America~l genus and is itself restricted in theUnited States to southern peninsular Florida and the Florida Keys.
