Abstract

Georg Bitter: Solana nova vel minus cognita. I. 529 rencie notre T. Mdchairi des T. Kluinii Pierre et Zmkeri Harms (in Engler Bot. Jahrb., XXIII, p. 156), c'est la grandeur des fleurs et l'emarginure terminale des folioles; Comme le T. Zenkeri et comme le T. KZainii, le T. Malchairi prkente une articulation vers le milieu de son p6dicelle; a partir de l'articulation on remarque souvent un renflement dans le pddicelle. 29. Corohorus Malohairi De Wild., 1. c., p. 345. Planta herbacea, recta, glabra. Foliis petiolatis: petiolo 12-21 mm longo margine velutino-ciliato; stipulis setaceis usque 10 mm longis. Fuliis lamina 3-5 lobata, lobis basilaribus setaceis, integris, lanceolatis vel dentatis, vel bifidis; parte mediana trilobata, 3 nerviata; lobis lateralibus acutis, divergentibus, lob0 mediano lanceolato, subintegro, longe acuto. Floribus solitariis vel 2-3, brevi ter pedicellatis. bracteolatis, bracteolis setaceis, caducis; sepalis apiculatis, sparse pilosis; petalis circ. 3 mm longis sepalis subaequilongis. Capsulis polygonalibus 5-valvatis, 5-costatis, 30-32 mm longis et 4-7 mm longe acuminatis. Congo Belge: Village Banza (region de Likimi), 1910 (L. Malc hair, no, 386. -Nom ind.: Djongo. -Legume). Obs. -Notre espece se range indiscutablement dans le groupe du C. olitmius L., mais elle se diffbrencie tres nettement des formes de cette plante par ses feuilles a limbe trilobe, dont le lobe median trbs allonge depasso longuement les lobes latdraux. Cette division du lobe foliaire fait. songer au C. lobutus De Wild. que nous avons decrit anterieurement, mais dam ce dernier les divisions du limbe sont plus nombreuses, tres fortement dentees, aucune dlelles n'acquiert par rapport aux autres l'importance acquise par le lobe m6dian des feuilles de C, MuZchuiri.

A revision of the Old World Black Nightshades (Morelloid clade of Solanum L., Solanaceae)

“…Modern regional taxonomic treatments of the Old World members of the Morelloid clade have been done for Europe (Hawkes and Edmonds 1972), India (Ganapathi and Rao 1986a, 1988; Schilling and Andersen 1990), Africa and Madagascar (Bitter 1912a, 1912b, 1913a, 1921, 1923; Jaeger 1985; Bukenya and Hall 1988; Bukenya 1993; Bukenya and Carasco 1995; Edmonds and Chweya 1997) and Australia (Henderson 1974). Edmonds and Chweya (1997) remains the most thorough account of the black nightshades in the Old World, but includes only some of the species known to occur in Africa and does not treat species from Asia or those known from Australasia and the Pacific.…”

“…In describing S. minutibaccatum , Bitter (1912a) cited a single Buchtien collection ( Buchtien 1443 ), but no herbarium. We have selected the sheet in US (US00027684) as the lectotype because it is the best preserved of the duplicates we have seen.…”

“…All of the species described by Bitter (1912a) and here recognised as synonyms of S. pseudospinosum were described from collections housed at B that were destroyed in World War II (Vorontsova and Knapp 2010) and we have placed these in synonymy based on their very detailed descriptions. It is to be hoped that duplicates of these collections will eventually be found in herbaria not yet investigated or digitised.…”

A revision of the South American species of the Morelloid clade (Solanum L., Solanaceae)

“…Botanists continued to describe new morelloid species in the latter part of the 19 th century (e.g., Weddell 1857 for the high Andes of Peru and Bolivia; Philippi 1891 , 1895 for Chile; Rusby 1896 for Bolivia), but the real explosion of description can be attributed to the German botanist George Bitter (for obituary and complete bibliography see Weber 1928 ), who worked in Bremen, Göttingen and Berlin in the early part of the 20 th century. Bitter coined 103 names at the species level for what are now recognised as morelloid taxa (e.g., Bitter 1912a , 1912b , 1912c , 1913 , 1914b , 1916 , 1918 ) and 16 infraspecific names. Of these, 17 are here treated as accepted species (see Contents).…”

A Revision of Solanum Section Herpystichum

“…Later, Bitter (1922) transferred Bassovia setosa Brandegee (Brandegee 1917) to Solanum and placed it in sect. Gonatotrichum (Bitter 1922). Solanum setosum (Brandegee) Bitter is now considered a synonym of S. deflexum.…”
