The diversity of potato genetic resources in the VIR genebank harbors one of the world’s first collections of primitive cultivated species. These accessions are native potato varieties cultivated by the indigenous population of South America. The oldest accessions in the collection are traced back to 1927. Approximately one fifth of the collection (106 accessions out of 573) is the unique material procured by VIR’s collecting missions to Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. According to S. Bukasov’s potato classification, the diversity of South American highland potatoes explored by VIR’s collectors belongs to spp. Solanum ajanhuiri Juz. et Buk., S. × chaucha Juz. et Buk., S. mammilliferum Juz. et Buk., S. phureja Juz. et Buk., S. rybinii Juz. et Buk., S. goniocalyx Juz. et Buk., S. stenotomum Juz. et Buk., S. tenuifilamentum Juz. et Buk., S.× juzepczukii Buk., and S. × curtilobum Juz. et Buk. Within this group of species, S. × ajanhuiri, S. phureja and S. stenostomum are the closest in their characteristics to ancient domesticated forms of tuber-bearing Solanum spp. This publication is an analytical review of the current composition of the primitive cultivated potato species collection and the results of its earlier studies. Ecogeographic descriptions of the sites native for cultivated potatoes and information on the sources of the accessions are presented. A large-scale evaluation of primitive cultivated potato accessions by a set of characters, carried out in field and laboratory experiments, uncovers their breeding potential and serves as the primary information platform for further indepth research. Studying S. phureja and closely related cultivated potato species is important for finding solutions of fundamental problems in plant biology. The data arrays accumulated today would facilitate targeted selection among accessions to identify most promising ones for molecular genetic studies into the gene pool diversity of potato species.

The genetic diversity of 34 species of the genus Solanum was studied using chloroplast (cp) DNA and mitochondrial (mt) DNA specific PCR primers. 11 cpDNA haplotypes and 16 mtDNA haplotypes were discovered. Traditional botanical taxonomy of potato species was not supported by cpDNA data. Cladistic relationships of 34 species support their geographical and genome differentiation. A derived clades contains E-, B- and A-genome species of the section Petota suggesting a coevolution of chloroplast and nuclear genomes.

Solanum medians is a widely distributed species of wild potato (Solanum sect. Petota), growing along the coastal lomas and up the western slopes of the Andes Mountains from central Peru and northern Chile, from 200–3800 m elevation. Fertile diploid and sterile triploid cytotypes are common, are believed to be associated with morphological variants, and are formally named as subspecies. A morphometric study based on principal components and canonical discriminate analyses of characters obtained from herbarium specimens tests the circumscription of these subspecies and other currently recognized species that are very similar to S. medians. The results show so much overlap of these taxa that it is impractical to use morphology to define species or to provide reliable keys or identifications. We synonymize ten names under S. medians: S. medians var. angustifoliolum, S. medians var. majorifrons subvar. majorifrons, S. medians var. majorifrons subvar. protohypoleucum, S. medians var. autumnale, S. sandemannii, S. tacnaense, S. weberbaueri var. decurrentialatum, S. tacnaense f. decurrentialatum, S. weberbaueri, S. weberbaueri var. poscoanum. We also treat S. neoweberbaueri as a closely related species to S. medians. We consider the synonymy in S. medians to be part of a much larger need for reduction of names in sect. Petota.

Three hitherto undocumented watercolours in the possession of the National Botanic Gardens, Dublin, are found to depict botanically interesting views of Falkland Islands' vegetation and an historically important painting of Port Louis about 1842, when it was the capital of the archipelago. From the evidence available it seems clear that these paintings were prepared by either Bartholomew J. Sulivan or his wife during a surveying voyage to the Falkland Islands in 1842–43, when he commanded the brig Philomel. Some associated herbarium specimens seem to have been collected by B. J. Sulivan during 1838 when he visited the Falkland Islands as Lieutenant aboard the surveying ketch Arrow.

Archibald Menzies landed twice at Chatham Bay, Isla del Coco, in January 1795. A small number of his herbarium specimens are extant, including the type specimen of Callicosta rugifolium (Bryophyta; Daltoniaceae) and perhaps also that of Octoea insularis (Angiospermae; Lauraceae), indicating that he was probably the first to make scientific collections on the island.

ABSTRACT: This paper discusses some correspondence between Robert Schomburgk (1804–1865) and Adolphe Brongniart (1801–1876). Four letters survive, containing information about the history of Schomburgk's collection of fishes and plants from British Guiana, and his herbarium specimens from Dominican Republic and southeast Asia. A study of these letters has enabled us to confirm that Schomburgk supplied the collection of fishes from Guiana now in the Laboratoire d'Ichtyologie, Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris. The letters of the German naturalist are an interesting source of information concerning the practice of sale and exchange of natural history collections in the nineteenth century in return for honours.

The distribution of Sonchus palustris in Slovakia was studied using herbarium specimens and literary sources. The herbarium studies, supplemented with targeted field search in the years 2015–2018, revealed 61 new localities and confirmed many other older locations. The species has been recorded in 19 phytogeographical districts and sub-districts of Slovakia. Most of the records are concentrated in the Podunajská nížina lowland in SW Slovakia and in the Ipel'sko-rimavská brázda region in southern Slovakia. Our results showed that the species is relatively common in different types of wetlands and its re-evaluation in the recent version of the Slovak red list is not needed. Chromosome number data for two new populations in eastern Slovakia (both 2n = 18) were counted. The distribution map is given.
