User:Yummifruitbat/Taxonomy of Drosera
Understanding of the taxonomy of the genus Drosera developed significantly during the 20th and early decades of the 21st century, with more than 100 new species described since 1950 and several revisions to the accepted taxonomy. More recent taxonomic revisions have been informed by phylogenetic analysis as well as morphology, distribution and other factors.
History
[edit]Infrageneric Taxonomy
[edit]The remainder of this page reflects the infrageneric taxonomy used by Fleischmann, Cross, Gibson, Gonella & Dixon (2018),[1] with taxa published or revised since that date placed according to the relevant authors.
Drosera subgenus Drosera
[edit]Section Arachnopus
[edit]Originally recognised by Planchon in 1848,[2] sect. Arachnopus is sometimes known as the 'Drosera indica complex'[3] and now comprises at least 13 recognised species. All species in this section are believed to be annual therophytes and the majority are endemic to northern Australia, although two species are also found in Asia and one only in Asia and sub-tropical Africa.[1] The name Arachnopus refers to the 'spider leg' form of the plants (from Greek: arakhne [spider] + pous [foot]).[4]

Section Brasilianae
[edit]Section Brasilianae was published in 2018, based on molecular phylogenetic data which showed that the previous circumscription of Drosera sect. Drosera was not monophyletic. It comprises the 'Brazilian tetraploid' clade of at least 18 species native to South America.[5] The section was originally published as sect. Brasiliae but this name was found to be grammatically non-compliant with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature and was formally corrected by the authors later the same year.[6]

Section Prolifera
[edit]This section, which was published by Cyril Tenison White in 1940[7], comprises species endemic to Far North Queensland. They are the only Drosera species that grow solely in rainforest habitat. Each appears to favour a different micro-habitat within their range, which roughly parallels the eastern coast. The section was sometimes referred to as the 'Three Sisters',[8] but the publication of D. buubugujin in 2020[9] added a fourth member. The section name refers to asexual reproduction via 'daughter' plantlets produced from the flower stalks, a characteristic particularly noted in D. prolifera (from Latin proles [offspring] + ferre [to carry / bear]).[10]
Section Psychophila
[edit]This section was first published by Planchon in 1848,[11] containing two species with a sub-Antarctic distribution. The section name is assumed to derive from a misspelling of the Latinised form of the Greek psykros (cold) and Greek philos (love) i.e. cold-loving.[10] Drude later proposed the name Psychrophilae for a section containing the same species.[12]
Section Ptycnostigma
[edit]Section Ptycnostigma was first published by Planchon in 1848,[13] initially with only four species (two of which, D. helianthemum and D. speciosa, are now considered synonymous with D. cistiflora[14]). It was significantly expanded based on molecular phylogenetic data in 2018 by Fleischmann et al., such that it now comprises all the African sundew species except D. regia (D. subgen. Regiae) and D. indica (D. sect. Arachnopus), many of which do not share the distinctive multifid-flabellate stigma shape that originally distinguished the section.[5]

Section Stelogyne
[edit]This section was first published by Diels, who noted the unique fused styles of D. hamiltonii in his 1906 monograph.[15] The significance of this feature has been debated by taxonomists. The section was reduced to synonymy with D. sect. Drosera by Seine and Barthlott in 1994 (based on pollen morphology),[16] resurrected and elevated to subgenus by Schlauer in 1996,[17] and returned to section level within subgenus Drosera by Fleischmann et al based on molecular phylogenetic data.[1]
Section Thelocalyx
[edit]Section Thelocalyx comprises two tropical species of compact, rosette-forming sundews.[10] The section name was given by Planchon in 1848[18] and refers to a covering of papillose projections found on the sepals (from Greek thilí [nipple] + kályx [outer covering, sepal]).[10]
Drosera subgenus Ergaleium
[edit]Section Bryastrum
[edit]This section comprises the pygmy sundews, tiny species mostly native to Western Australia, many of which reproduce primarily via production of gemmae. The section was named by Planchon in 1848,[19] the name referring to the starry appearance of the plants and their habit of forming moss-like clumps (from Greek bryos [moss] + astron [stars]).[10]

Section Coelophylla
[edit]This monotypic section was first published by Planchon in 1848.[20] Its sole species is endemic to Australia, where it is widespread. The section name refers to the depression in the centre of the lamina (from Greek: koilomat [hollow] + phyllum [leaf]).[4]
Section Ergaleium
[edit]Section Ergaleium contains the 'tuberous' sundews, geophytic species which undergo summer dormancy in the form of subterranean tubers.[1] The section was first published in A.P. de Candolle's 1824 Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis,[21] and the taxonomy underwent numerous revisions over the following two centuries.

Section Lasiocephala
[edit]Section Lasiocephala (from Greek lasios [shaggy] + kephale [head], describing the densely hairy growth points of these species) was first published by Planchon in 1848.[22] It currently comprises the species of the 'D. petiolaris complex' plus two erect species. Several further taxa are currently awaiting formal description. Species of this section are found mostly in northern Australia as well as the Torres Strait Islands and southern Papua New Guinea.[23]

Section Phycopsis
[edit]This section was published by Planchon in 1848.[24] Its sole member is native to Australia, New Zealand and the Chatham Islands[25] and is distinguished by its branching leaves, which are compared to seaweed in the section name (from Greek phykos [seaweed] + opsis [appearance]).[10]
Drosera subgenus Arcturia
[edit]Subgenus Arcturia contains two cold-tolerant species endemic to southern Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand.[4] Alongside subgenus Regiae, it is considered ancestral to the two larger clades (subg. Drosera and Ergaleium above) that contain the vast majority of sundew species.[5] Arcturia was originally published at section rank by Planchon in 1848,[26] containing only the type species D. arcturi. It was elevated to subgenus by Schlauer in 1996[17] and this placement was later supported by molecular phylogenetic analysis.[5] The subgenus name refers to Mount Arthur in Tasmania, from which the type specimen of D. arcturi was collected.[27]
Drosera subgenus Regiae
[edit]The unique species D. regia, a large sundew endemic to a very restricted locality around the Bainskloof Pass in South Africa,[28] was placed into its own subgenus in 1994 by Seine & Barthlott.[16] Subsequent DNA analyses have confirmed its apparently ancestral position in the phylogeny of Drosera alongside subgenus Arcturia.[1]
