Q: About Utricularia subgenus Polypompholyx section
Lasiocaules
A: Simply noted, Ellison & Adamec (2018) pulled many species from
section Pleiochasia and put them in this new section. To the right, you can see how this was done.
The following species were discarded entirely by their treatment:
U. albertiana R.W.Jobson & Baleeiro
U. bidentata R.W.Jobson & Baleeiro
U. hamata R.W.Jobson & M.D.Barrett
U. limmenensis R.W.Jobson
U. magna R.W.Jobson & M.D.Barrett
U. papilliscapa R.W.Jobson & M.D.Barrett
The following section Pleiochasia
species were included in their treatment, but I currently do not recognize them:
U. ameliae R.W.Jobson--probably a variety of U. dichotoma
U. monanthos Hook.f.--absorbed into U. dichotoma
U. novae-zelandiae Hook.f.--absorbed into U. dichotoma
Some of these classifications are very confusing to me. I have looked at the cladistics charts illustrated in Ellison & Adamec (2018), but the results in some cases
just seem to fly in the face of reason. For example,
I do not see why U. uniflora is not placed in section Pleiochasia with
such exceedingly similar species, such as U. dichotoma. Maybe it is true--stranger things have been shown to be correct...
Because of these irregularities, I am not going through the business of fully incorporating section Lasiocaules
into the FAQ until these problems are
ironed out.
