A Taxonomic Revision of Genus Polygonum L. sensu lato (Polygonaceae) for Flora of Iran

Abstract

The genus Polygonum L. sensu lato is revised based on articles, herbarium documents and field observations. In this article, a brief revision of this genus in Iran is presented. It was first described by Rechinger and Schiman-Czeika [1] for flora Iranica and has included up to 53 species. The last revision of this genus has been made by Mozaffarian [2], and the genus Polygonum L. sensu lato is divided into 3 genera (Polygonum L. sensu sticto, Bistorta Adans. and Persicaria Mill.). But in present study, according to our field observations and herbarium materials, the genus Polygonum L. sensu lato has to be separated into 5 different genera including Aconogonon (Meisn.) Rchb., Bistorta (L.) Scop., Fallopia Adans., Persicaria (L.) Mill., and Polygonum L. sensu stricto. The number of species for Polygonum L. sensu lato has been reduced to 25 species. For these 5 genera, new identification keys have been created.

Persicaria barbata (L.) H. Hara and Persicaria glabra (Willd.) M. Gómez (Polygonaceae): two newly recorded species from the Yucatan Peninsula and Mexico

“…We also reviewed the taxonomic treatments of the family Polygonaceae from the Yucatan Peninsula (Standley and Steyermark 1946;Ortiz-Díaz 1994) and taxonomic treatments of other geographic regions that included the genus Persicaria (or Polygonum sect. Persicaria) (Duke 1960;Burger 1983;Wilson 1990;Hinds and Freeman 2005;Hassannejad and Ghafarbi 2017), as well as digitized type specimens in JSTOR Global Plants (JSTOR 2021) and Tropicos.org to compare and correct changes in nomenclature, new records, and distribution patterns. To create the maps of the new records, we used the coordinates from herbarium labels (CICY, UNAM, and UADY) and the Simplemappr program (Shorthouse 2010).…”

Study of Organic Acids Profile of Genus Persicaria Mill Species

“…Вагабова и соавт.) [18][19][20], и часть из них затрагивала вопросы хемосистематики видов, базируясь на изучении флавоноидного состава. На основании данных исследований виды рода горец были разделены на 4 ряда Persicariaeformes Kom., Hydropiperiformes Kom., Lapathiiformes Worosh., Amphibiae Kom.…”

“…Принято считать, что основными компонентами химического состава травы видов рода горец являются флавоноидные гликозиды (рутин, авикулярин, гиперозид, гликозиды кемпферола, кверцетина и др.) [18,19,[22][23][24], дубильные вещества, филлохинон [25], соли кальция [26]. Данных, касающихся сравнительного изучения качественного состава и количественного содержания ОК в траве представителей рода горец, в доступной литературе не обнаружено.…”

Toxic and genotoxic effects of aqueous extracts of Poligonum weyrichii Fr. Schmidt on the Allium test taken as an example.

“…Rchb. as A. weyrichii (F. Schmidt) H. Hara (Tsvelev, 1987(Tsvelev, , 2012Hassannejad and Ghafarbi, 2017), and recently, based on the molecular-phylogenetic data, it was included into Fam. Koenigia L. (K. weyrichii (F.Schmidt) T. M. Schust.…”
