Sauropus merged with Breynia (Phyllanthaceae) : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1)
Here is a paper wherein the genus Sauropus Blume is combined with Breynia J.R.Forst. & G.Forst. based on molecular studies and necessary transference made. The genus Synostemon F.Muell. is reinstated and the species Sauropus bacciformis is treated under it. Thank you … this is what I have been talking about Thanks …, We have reservations about this paper. I am raising only one question here. the genus Synostemon is reinstated but the only Indian species, Synostemon bacciformis is not separable from Sauropus by any morphological character. Earlier references based on molecular studies recommended merger of Glochidion, Breynia and Sauropus into Phyllanthus. . Flora of Peninsular India with keys at species links, if any: .

Breynia : 1 post by 1 author.
I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Breynia Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links. Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details. If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful. Any comments/ corrections are welcome. .
Breynia (Phyllanthaceae) page with comparative images: Pl. go through Breynia (Phyllanthaceae) page with comparative images of species in efloraofindia. On clicking the link of species, one can check the complete details. Genus pages generally give details of most of the species found in India. I request you to pl. go through & point out mistakes, if any. I hope this will aid in identification in future. If anybody can send images of other species of this genus (for incorporation in the website), if any, or can identify unidentified images, it will be really nice. Most of the credit goes to Tapas ji, for Phyllanthaceae. I wish to know whether Sauropus androgynus is now the synonym of P.androgyna ? if so please provide the correct citation . Please clarify.
Pl. see POWO. |
