Undescribed Species ◽

Collections of filamentous marine fungi in Seychelles included Nimbospora effusa Koch and an undescribed species, Nimbospora bipolaris Hyde & Jones sp. nov. Tha latter differs from N. effusa in the size of the ascospores and in ascospore appendage morphology. Both species are illustrated by light microscope and scanning electron microscope micrographs.

The anatomy of tawara-shibo stems of Chamaecyparis obtusa (Siebold & Zucc.) Endl. was observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a light microscope. Tawara-shibo is a strange stem form with a series of swellings that appear at regular intervals along the stem axis. Multiseriate rays, trabeculae and related structures, and modified tracheids were frequently observed at swollen portions. These features were less frequent at non-swollen portions.We conclude that abnormal cambial activities, occurring at regular longitudinal intervals, cause the formation and development of these three anatomical features and higher growth rates at swollen portions. As a result of differences in growth rate between swollen and non-swollen portions, the stem form of tawara-shibo develops. It is suggested that formation of the characteristics observed in tawara-shibo stems is genetically controlled by hormonal secretion into or within the cambium.

This work studies 17 species of mexican Araliaceae from the palynological point of view belonging to the genera Aralia, Dendropanax, Didymopanax, Redera, Oreopanax y Sciadodendron . All the pollen descriptions are presented at the generic level. The grains were studied based in scanning electron microscope and light microscope. It includes a dichotomous key for the genera grains. The results showed few differences between the pollen grains of the genera although some exine characters are important. Redera and Didymopanax presented an exine semi-tectate and the rest of the genera had tectate-perforate grains. This paper compared also some pollen characters with morphological ones, finding pollen characters considered primitive correlated with characters of primitive Araliaceae groups .

The detailed description of rarely recorded Thalassiosira species in Brazil is presented with light microscope (LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) illustrations. A total of 78 phytoplankton net samples (20 µm) collected between the years 2000 and 2006 in coastal waters of southern Brazilian, Cassino Beach and the estuary of Lagoa dos Patos, were studied in cleaned material using the Axiovert Zeiss LM and Jeol 6060 SEM. Water temperature and salinity of samples and six species are presented: Thalassiosira endoseriata, T. hendeyi, T. lundiana, T. minuscula, T. oceanica and T. wongii. Two species, Thalassiosira hendeyi and T. endoseriata were the most common being observed in all seasons at Cassino Beach in a wide temperature range (10-26 ºC), while only sporadically in the estuary of Lagoa dos Patos. Thalassiosira endoseriata, T. lundiana, T. oceanica and T. wongii are for the first time reported in Brazilian coastal waters. The latter two species, rarely recorded in the world, are fully illustrated based on Brazilian material.

The endemic Indian genus Haplanthodes (Acanthaceae) is revised. Four species, viz. H. neilgherryensis, H. plumosa, H. tentaculata and H. verticillata and a new variety, H. neilgherryensis var. toranganensis are recognized. Lectotype is designated for Haplanthodes, Haplanthus plumosus and H. verticillaris. The nomenclature of the Linnaean name Ruellia tentaculata is also discussed. Micromorphology of seed using light microscope (LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) is observed for the first time, and two types, reticulate and micro papillate, have been recognized based on surface sculpturing pattern. The genus differs from the related genera Andrographis and Haplanthus by distinctly two grooved seeds with hygroscopic hairs. Pollen grains of the genus are oblate or prolate spheroidal, distinctly triangular, trizonocolporate with reticulate exine ornamentation.

A New Species ◽

Anixiopsis biplanata sp.nov. is described as a new ascomycete isolated from soil at an altitude of 3100 m in Nepal. It is heterothallic and characterized by small, reddish brown ascospores (4 × 3 μm), which under the light microscope seem subrectangular to hexagonal in side view and appear smooth walled. Under the scanning electron microscope, however, they are tire shaped, ornamented with an equatorial reticulum and with two smooth, flat, lateral discs. Its anamorph is a Chrysosporium. Anixiopsis biplanata is briefly compared with the three other species already included in the genus Anixiopsis Hansen.

We described the achenes of 21 species of the genus Scleria reported in Costa Rica using 16 morphological characters and developed a key based only on achene characteristics. Specimens deposited in herbaria in Costa Rica were analyzed. We observed the achenes using a stereoscope and light microscope and took digital images that were used to measure the achenes. Besides, the achenes were observed using a Scanning Electron Microscope. A cluster analysis using achene characteristics was performed in order to know which species are morphologically similar. The intra-specific variation of the characteristics analyzed in the achenes studied is very small for all the species. Using characteristics of the achene, we could differentiate species among four of the five traditional sections of the genus used to classify the species: Hypoporum, Ophryoscleria, Schizolepis and Scleria. The key allows differentiating among 21 species of the genus Scleria previously reported in Costa Rica using only achenes. Besides the key, we prepared an illustrative guide for the genus using pictures taken with SEM and a stereoscope. The descriptions offer better information about the species that grow in Costa Rica.
