“…In Myrtaceae, karyomorphological analysis does not support the subtribal classification in Myrteae. In other groups, such as Malpighiaceae, it supports the intrafamilial classification into two large subfamilies: Malpighioideae, with x = 5 small chromosomes, lianoid species, and winged fruits; and Byrsonimoideae, with x = 6 large chromosomes, shrub or tree species, with non‐winged fruits (Lombello & Forni‐Martins, 2002). In Sapindaceae, cytotaxonomy has contributed to the knowledge of taxonomic and evolutionary relationships.…”

In Myrtaceae (Myrteae), the diploid chromosome number 2n = 2x = 22 is the most common, although variations of ploidy level occur, with some triploid (2n = 3x = 33) and tetraploid (2n = 4x = 44) records. Karyotype details in this group are scarce because the chromosomes are small (< 2 mm). In this work, we carried out a karyotypic analysis of 15 species of Myrtaceae grouped in different subtribes and genera. Measurements of chromosome length (long arm, L; short arm, S) were taken and several karyotypic parameters were calculated for each species. The karyotypes in fleshy-fruited taxa (Myrteae) were more varied than in the other previously analysed dry-fruited group (Eucalyptus, Eucalypteae), in which the chromosomes were exclusively metacentric.

“…Indumentum terminology and structure shapes follow Almeida and Morais (2022) , inflorescence terminology and morphology follow Weberling (1965 , 1989 ), and fruit terminology follows Spjut (1994) . Chromosome numbers were retrieved from Anderson (1993) and Lombello and Forni-Martins (2002 , 2003 ), and secondary metabolites were retrieved from Mannochio-Russo et al (2022) . Palynological data were retrieved from Lowrie (1982) , Silva et al (2023) , and Almeida et al (2024) and complemented by the slide collections from the Instituto de Pesquisas Ambientais (São Paulo, Brazil) and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.…”

Malpighiaceae has undergone unprecedented changes in its traditional classification in the past two decades due to several phylogenetic studies shedding light on the non-monophyly of all subfamilies and most tribes and genera. Even though morphological characters were used to reconstruct the last molecular generic phylogeny of Malpighiaceae, a new classification system has never been proposed for this family. Based on a comprehensive review of the last twenty years of published studies for this family, we propose a new classification system and provide a taxonomic synopsis for Malpighiaceae based on molecular phylogenetics, morphology, palynology, and chemistry as a baseline for the systematics, conservation, and taxonomy of this family worldwide. Malpighiaceae currently comprises two subfamilies (Byrsonimoideae and Malpighioideae), 12 tribes ( Acmanthereae , Acridocarpeaetrib. nov., Barnebyeaetrib. nov., Bunchosieaetrib. nov., Byrsonimeae, Galphimieae, Gaudichaudieae, Hiptageae, Hiraeeae, Malpighieae, Mcvaughieaetrib. nov., and Ptilochaeteaetrib. nov.), 72 genera (incl. Mamedeagen. nov.), and 1,499 accepted species (715 of which are currently under some kind of extinction threat). We present identification keys for all subfamilies, tribes, and genera, a full morphological description for the proposed new genus, the re-circumscription of ten genera alongside the needed new combinations, the proposition of several new synonyms, the typification of several names, and notes on the taxonomy, distribution, conservation, and ecology up to the genus rank. Morphological plates are also provided to illustrate the immense diversity of morphological traits used in the new classification and synopsis.
