Phyllanthus key for eFlora of India …<\/a> : 8 posts by 6 authors.
\n<\/em>Here is a simple key to identify species of Phyllanthus using simple exomorphic characters. To start with i have included only species which are collected from my study area (Tiruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu). I think it includes most of the species discussed earlier in this group. But, there are about 50 species of Phyllanthus in India. So, we need more pictures and information on other species too, to make it complete. I am working on description and other aspects of these taxa, in line with our (ambitious) ‘eflora of India’ program.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Thank you … for this simple and easy to understand effort.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>I was checking the Kew herbarium for <\/span>Glochidion<\/i> and Caesaria plant, to my surprise I got several herbarium specimens for <\/span>Glochidion ellipticum<\/i> with type specimen name mentioned as <\/span>Phyllanthus diversifolius<\/i> in one and in another as <\/span>Phyllanthus malabaricus<\/i>, why is this so ? would request you to enlighten us on this please. Thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

its a difficult question to give a straight forward answer, so…let me try!
\nIts all part of taxonomy and nomenclature! It shows the different level of our understanding about taxa at different periods of time. It also illustrates the complexity of the group with diverse habit\/morphology within this group.
\n<\/span>The names mentioned by you were published during 1860s when the understanding about the genus was completely different. Due to some common feature, for e.g. ‘phyllanthoid branching’ several different species were treated under the genus <\/span>Phyllanthus<\/i> even they are morphologically very different. However recent molecular phylogenetic studies helped us to understand the possible relationship between different taxa and thus their improved taxonomic treatment. The taxon namely <\/span>Phyllanthus malabaricus<\/i> (for e.g.) was considered a species under <\/span>Phyllanthus<\/i> by Mueller who described the plant during 1865. But the latest revisioners (Webster, Govaerts etc.) realized that this plant has more affinity with and having similar morphological characters (also pollen morphology) to <\/span>Glochidion<\/i> and further realized that it is nothing but one of the several forms\/variations of an existing species <\/span>G. ellipticum<\/i> described by Beddome, in this case. Hence the name <\/span>Phyllanthus malabaricus<\/i> has become a taxonomic synonym (based on different Type) to <\/span>Glochidion ellipticum<\/i>.
\n<\/span>Fact: 1. Genera like <\/span>Phyllanthus, Glochidion, Flueggea, Berynia, Sauropus<\/i> etc come under same tribe – <\/span>Phyllantheae<\/i> (these are closely related).
\n<\/span>Fact: 2. Several species, treated earlier under different genera (as much as 55 genera) are currently treated under the genus Phyllanthus<\/i> <\/span>http:\/\/www.ars-grin.gov\/cgi-bin\/npgs\/html\/genus.pl?9303<\/span><\/a>), an another development of taxonomic research!]
\n<\/span>To put it in a simple way, in the present case, Mueller misidentified his collection and published as a new species under wrong genus! However, we should remember that one-and-a-half centuries ago, there was not much information technology, communication etc. and a botanist at one corner of world had less chance to know the happenings of taxonomic research development at the other corner. We are now in a far better environment, wherein we can access the information real time, across the globe!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you so much … for the explanation and further links. You have made a very complicated subject simple to understand ! Atleast now I know why the mix- up, the confusion is due to Mueller ! I will read up more on the two facts mentioned by you.
\nOne of the journal articles has given the <\/span>distinction of floral disc- present in Phyllanthus<\/i><\/span> but totally absent in Glochidion<\/i><\/span> this should help us in identifying them. Will have to read in detail and perhaps will have more questions ! Thank you once again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Phyllanthus<\/a> : 1 post by 1 author.
\nI have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on <\/span>Phyllanthus<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/span> in line with Flora of India Vol. 23 (2012).<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

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<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Any comments are welcome<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Phyllanthus\u200e\u200e page with comparative images of species<\/a>:
\nPl. go through\u200e\u00a0<\/span>Phyllanthus<\/a><\/em>\u200e\u200e\u00a0(<\/span>Phyllanthaceae<\/em>) 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.
\n<\/span>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.

The genus Phyllanthus<\/em> is split into ten genera based on molecular studies and this page requires overhauling. True Phyllanthus is native of tropical America.
\nYou can consult Phytotaxa, vol. 40, no. 1. 18 March 2022, pp. 1- 100.
\nI do not have a copy of this.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you think it will stand the scrutiny of time compared to the existing concept?<\/p>\n

\n
Let us hope experts in the field will decide that.<\/div>\n
In my\u00a0opinion, if we see the initial molecular studies, there were suggestions to combine the genera Glochidion, Sauropus and Breynia under Phyllanthus<\/em> but people opposed this idea that it will render Phyllanthus<\/em> a mega genus making the already difficult taxonomy of the group more complicated.<\/div>\n
The recent studies showed that Phyllanthus itself is polyphyletic:<\/div>\n
https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/tax.12424<\/a><\/div>\n
Accordingly a new classification of tribe Phyllantheae<\/em> has been proposed by correlating molecular data with morphology.<\/div>\n
I believe this new classification will get wide acceptance.
\nThe above points are my personal\u00a0opinion and the experts of the group may differ.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n

When the genus Quisqualis (Combretaceae)<\/em> was combined under Combretum,<\/em> the same was followed by eFI but when Anogeisssus<\/em> was united under Terminalia,<\/em> eFI did not adopt the consequent name changes. Thus it is up to eFI to decide whether this group will adopt the new classification of tribe Phyllantheae<\/em> and go for the name changes or leave Phyllanthus,<\/em> sensu lato as such.<\/p>\n

\n
I think these things will keep on changing.
\nFor me what is important is the correct identification whether it remains under <\/span>Quisqualis<\/em> or <\/span>Combretum<\/em> OR\u00a0<\/span>Anogeisssus<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span>Terminalia<\/em><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n

I too agree with …, first we should go for rectification of identification mistakes, if any…. the names of taxa corresponding to digital images must be as accurate as possible… the classification changes can be incorporated at later stages.. but links to recent changes can be provided..<\/p>\n
