“…In the Northern Hemisphere, the S. holoschoenus complex is distributed from the Iberian Peninsula to Turkey and Iran, reaching south England in the north and north Morocco in the south (Tutin & al., 1980;Kukkonen, 1998). Among the subspecies described or recognized by different authors in Europe (Pignotti, 2003), only S. holoschoenus subsp. australis had some support in this study (Fig.…”

Cyperaceae is the third‐largest family of monocotyledons and one of the 10 largest families of angiosperms. The family includes two subfamilies and several tribes, one of which, Cypereae, is the aim of the present study. Recent studies recognize the Ficinia clade, composed of six genera (Dracoscirpoides, Erioscirpus, Ficinia, Hellmuthia, Isolepis, Scirpoides), as more closely related to Cyperus (Cypereae) than to Scirpus (Scirpeae), where it was traditionally placed. In this study, phylogenetic analyses of the Ficinia clade have been carried out, based on sequences of two nrDNA loci (ITS, ETS1f) and three plastid loci (trnL intron, rps16, trnH‐psbA) and with special attention to the smaller genera of the clade (i.e., Dracoscirpoides, Erioscirpus, Hellmuthia, Scirpoides). Results revealed a strong geographic pattern within Scirpoides, in which two groups are identified, one including the southern African and the other representing the northern hemisphere species. Dracoscirpoides and Erioscirpus are monophyletic genera while Hellmuthia formed a clade with Ficinia and Isolepis. One species of Scirpoides (S. dioeca) was outside the clade of Scirpoides s.str. in the analyses, and is here transferred to a new monospecific genus endemic to southern Africa: Afroscirpoides.

“…Finally, we compared the names found in these three lists with those found in Masson's letters sent to Banks from Macaronesia (Table 1) and with those reported for Madeira by Banks and Solander (Beaglehole, 1962). Nomenclature follows the treatments of Press & Short (1994); Diane, Foerther & Hilger (2002); Hilger & Diane (2003); Pignotti (2003); Acebes Ginovés et al (2004); Polhill & Van Wyk (2005); Silva et al (2005) and Lack (2007). We have also consulted the lists of common names for plants of Madeira and the Canaries compiled by Press & Short (1994); Cáceres Lorenzo & Salas Pascual (1995) and Machado & Morera (2005).…”

Francis Masson was the first official plant collector of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Between 1776 and 1779 he undertook extensive plant collecting on the Macaronesian archipelagos of Madeira, the Azores and the Canaries. This field trip marked a major milestone in the plant exploration of the region, with material collected by Masson resulting in the description of over 118 species by famous plant taxonomists or naturalists such as Linnaeus filius, William Aiton, Leopold von Buch, Nicolaus J. Jacquin, Charles-Louis L'Héritier and Johann H. F. Link. During Masson's visit to these islands, he sent letters accompanying three shipments of plant material to Linnaeus and Linnaeus filius. We believe that this was the only correspondence ever received from Macaronesia by the distinguished Swedish naturalists. In order to contribute to the worldwide celebration of the 300th anniversary of the birth of Linnaeus, we undertook an investigation into the nature and significance of these shipments. We found that this plant material was the basis for 37 descriptions provided by Linnaeus filius. Our study showed that a total of 21 and 61 herbarium specimens were sent to Linnaeus and Linnaeus filius, respectively. In addition, 53 accessions of seeds were sent to Linnaeus the younger. Identification of plant material was carried out after studying Masson's collections and the relevant taxonomic literature.

“…It was probably first collected in NanteuilNotre-Dame in the department Aisne where, by 1903, it was already known to occur (Riomet & Bournérias 1952-1961 and lately confirmed by Bizot & Parent (2005). From the 1970s onwards it was reported from various locations in the department Jura (Prost 1983;Litzler 2000;Prost 2000Prost , 2001 and since the 1980s also from the department Marne (Lambinon & Duvigneaud 1988;Worms 1989). Bizot & Parent (2005) confirmed its presence in the aforementioned regions and added a first record from the department Saône-et-Loire.…”
