Title: | Revisionary Studies in 'Synostemon' (Phyllanthaceae, Phyllantheae): Morphological and molecular data corroborate generic recognition of 'Synostemon' and with increased species diversity | Contributor(s): | Telford, Ian Robert Hall (author); Bruhl, Jeremy (supervisor)![]() |

('Phyllanthaceae, Phyllantheae, Flueggineae'), previously subsumed into 'Sauropus' Blume or 'Phyllanthus L. Sauropus s. str.', excluding 'Synostemon', is shown to be nested within 'Breynia' J.R.Forst. & G.Forst. (Chapter 2). Morphological data clarifies infrageneric relationships within 'Sauropus' and its species are transferred to 'Breynia' in a new subgenus, 'B. subgenus Sauropus' (Blume) Welzen & Pruesapan (Chapter 3). 'Synostemon hamersleyensis' I.Telford & Naaykens, a recently discovered new species endemic to ironstone detrital formations of the Hamersley Range in the Pilbara, central Western Australia, is named, its distribution, habitat and contentious conservation status discussed (Chapter 4). | Publication Type: | Thesis Doctoral | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 060302 Biogeography and Phylogeography 050202 Conservation and Biodiversity 060310 Plant Systematics and Taxonomy |
