    DATA AVAILABILITY STATEMENT: Flow cytometric fcs files for ploidy levels are available at https://osf.io/ e8k2g/?view_only=566e3f2f38194a42ae0c33f8c6e39559.Environmental factors may shape the spatial distribution of ploidy levels. Here, we undertook a cytogeographical study of Rhodohypoxis baurii var. platypetala (Hypoxidaceae), a Drakensberg near-endemic taxon. We addressed the following questions: (1) Are there mixed-ploidy populations or is each population represented by a single ploidy level? (2) Is there a pattern in the environmental distribution of ploidy levels? (3) Are there specific environmental variables associated with each ploidy level locality? (4) Are plant traits similar or different within and among ploidy levels across populations that experience different environmental factors? We measured leaf and flower traits of individuals that were sampled for flow cytometry from 17 populations across the KwaZulu-Natal and Free State provinces in South Africa. We extracted daily climate data for 13 variables and collected soil samples to evaluate pH and nutrient properties to characterize the sampled populations to test for relationships with ploidy level distributions. Twelve populations were found to contain only diploids, four populations contained only tetraploids, and only one population was β€˜mixed ploidy’ (both diploid and triploid individuals present). There was an overlap in the altitudinal range of diploid and tetraploid populations, but diploids reached the highest altitudes recorded for the current study. We also found that R.baurii var. platypetala occurs in acidic soils and that tetraploids occurred in soils with marginally higher nitrogen and phosphorus than soils where diploids occur. Tetraploids generally occurred in warmer conditions, in drier soils, and possessed broader leaves and larger flowers than diploids. Our study suggests that soil factors and temperature at a small (within localities) spatial scale likely shape ploidy level distributions in the Drakensberg grasslands.The University of the Witwatersrand FriedelSellschop Award and the National Research Foundation.https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/14429993Plant Production and Soil SciencePlant ScienceSDG-15:Life on lan

    Comparison of morphological variation indicative of ploidy-level in Phragmites australis (Poaceae) from Eastern North America.

    ABSTRACT. Variation in ploidy levels in Phragmites australis is a welldocumented phenomenon although North American populations are less studied than European ones. It has been suggested, based on morphological measurements, that native and introduced P. australis subspecies in North America represent different ploidy levels. The objectives of this study were to assess whether guard cell size and stomatal density, morphological differences indicative of variation in ploidy level between native and introduced P. australis, are truly associated with different ploidy levels as measured by flow cytometry. Significant differences in guard cell size and stomatal densities were found between subspecies, with native plants having larger guard cells and lower stomatal density. However, no differences in 2C DNA content were found. Although these morphological measurements are significantly correlated with subspecies and can be added to the list of useful morphological characters distinguishing the two subspecies, it does not appear that they are accurate indicators of ploidy levels. Potential implications of these differences on the invasion biology of introduced P. australis are discussed

    Evidence for Hybridization Between the Endangered Roan Mountain Bluet, Houstonia Purpurea var. Montana (Rubiaceae) and its Common Congener

    Hybridization in plants can be common, may lead to increased genetic variation, and in some instances the formation of new species. For endangered species, hybridization can introduce novel genetic variation and potentially increase genetic diversity. In contrast, hybridization can negatively affect an endangered species or population by introducing maladaptive alleles into locally adapted lineages or lead to the homogenization of once distinct lineages. We used microsatellites, AFLP markers, and morphological data to identify potential hybridization between the endangered Roan Mountain bluet (Houstonia purpurea var. montana) and its commonly occurring congener (H. purpurea var. purpurea). We used these data to clarify the taxonomic relationship of these varieties and to assess population structuring of the Roan Mountain bluet. The results showed that these lineages are distinct and few individuals exhibited admixture in several populations. Additionally, the results showed there is genetic population structure among the remaining populations of H. purpurea var. montana, which is consistent with other mountaintop species. Our results show that Roan Mountain bluet populations should be protected to maintain genetic diversity and monitored to assess future hybridization, and additional studies that comprise a greater population sampling would provide more information

    Hypoxis parvula var. albiflora B. L. Burtt

    H. parvula var. albiflora B.L.Burtt in Hilliard & Burtt (1988: 190). Type:β€” SOUTH AFRICA. KwaZulu-Natal: Richmond district, escarpment above Byrne valley (QDS: 2930CD), 13 November 1975, Hilliard & Burtt 5589 (holotype E! [image]; isotype NU! [image]). Diagnostic characters and relationships:β€” Hypoxis parvula var. albiflora is separated from H. parvula var. parvula by its tepal colour being white (not yellow). This character also easily distinguishes it from the closely related H. limicola. This variety is morphologically most similar to H. membranacea from which it can be distinguished by having yellow (not white) anther filaments and usually only one flower per inflorescence (not two or three flowers). Distribution and habitat:β€” Hypoxis parvula var. albiflora is a South African endemic and appears to be plentiful in the midlands and uplands of the KwaZulu-Natal province. Hilliard & Burtt (1988) recorded that the variety is widespread in southern and western KwaZulu-Natal along foothills of the Drakensberg Mountains from Kokstad through to the Karkloof range. The variety forms large colonies in damp areas on mountain ridge grasslands of high altitudes, 1500–1850 m.a.s.l. When growing with H. parvula var. parvula, it is usually found at slightly lower (about 20 m) altitudes, and they seldom overlap. The proximity of the most southern populations near Kokstad (KwaZulu-Natal) to the Eastern Cape provincial border suggests that it is feasible that H. parvula var. albiflora may cross over into the Eastern Cape in this area, but this needs to be verified. Additional specimens examined:β€” SOUTH AFRICA.

    H. parvula var. parvula = Hypoxis brevifolia Baker (1896: 183). Type:β€” SOUTH AFRICA. KwaZulu-Natal: Liddesdale, Wood 3940 (holotype NH! [image]; isotype K! [image]). Diagnostic characters and relationships:β€”The variety is morphologically most similar to H. limicola from which it can be distinguished by having tepals that are (7–) 8–10 mm long (not 2–6 mm long), an inconspicuous (not conspicuously swollen) articulation between scape and pedicel, and a single 1–4 mm long bract (not one or two 5–7 mm long bract(s)) when present. It also resembles H. uniflorata in its habit, thin leaves, long slender inflorescences, and delicate flowers. It can, however, be easily distinguished from H. uniflorata in having lanceolate (not linear) leaves, filiform (not subulate) anther filaments, and a spherical (not pyramidal) stigma. Distribution and habitat:β€” Hypoxis parvula var. parvula occurs in South Africa and Lesotho. In South Africa, it is found in the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, and Free State provinces (and rarely in the Mpumalanga province). It is widespread in the Drakensberg mountains, where it grows in masses on the summit and slopes of the mountains, usually with Rhodohypoxis. Hypoxis parvula var. parvula is found in rock crevices or moist areas among short grass in full sun. The variety prefers high altitude areas of 1900–2200 m.a.s.l.

    Hypoxis uniflorata MarkΓΆtter (1930: 15) Type:β€” SOUTH AFRICA. Free State: Koolhoek O.F.S on wet rocks (QDS: 2729DC), November 1907, Thode 2548 (holotype NH! [image]). Rhizome 15 mm in diam. on average, globose with few contractile roots, crowned by leaves and few fine bristles. Leaves few, 3–8, wrapped at base in membranous, brown tunic, linear, 20–65 Γ— 2–5 mm, soft to membranous, smooth; veins 3(–5), all flush with surface, hardly thickened, sparsely hairy on both surfaces, but dense on midrib and veins; hairs bifurcate or stellate, white. Inflorescence 1(–3) per plant, corymbose, covered in long, weak, white hairs; scapes shorter than or as tall as leaves, delicate, 20–40 mm long; bracts 1(2), subulate, ca. 2mm long, lightly hairy below. Flowers 1(2); pedicels weak, lax, 20–40 mm when flowers open; tepals yellow adaxially, 5–8 mm long in open flowers. Stamens 3+3, with filaments subulate, yellow, short inner filaments ca. 1 mm, long outer filaments ca. 2.5 mm; anthers ca. 2.5 mm long, sagittate, apex split. Ovary 1.0– 1.5 mm long; style 1.5 mm long; stigma pyramidal with 3 concave faces, 1 mm in long. Capsule turbinate, 3–4 Γ— 2–3 mm, opening by a circular slit, splitting longitudinally into 3 lobes. Seeds ovoid, 1.05–1.10 mm Γ— 0.95–1.00 mm, black, dull; seed coat epidermal cells are isodiametric, 4–8-gonal with straight, channelled, anticlinal boundaries that are smooth and well defined; convex outer periclinal cell wall columellate and/or capitate/pilate, micropapillate; micropapillae rarely overlap and shorter at top of convex projection, becoming longer across periclinal wall and again becoming shorter towards anticlinal boundaries. Flowering time: October to December (insufficiently known). Diagnostic characters and relationships:β€” Hypoxis uniflorata is morphologically most similar to H. floccosa Baker (1894: 357) with which it shares linear leaves and weak scapes with slender pedicels bearing one or two flowers. It can be distinguished from H. floccosa by having leaves with 3(–5) veins that are hardly thickened (not 8–10 veins with one near each margin slightly thickened and raised on upper surface) and bracts that are ca. 2mm long (not 4–10 mm long). Although it was thought to be a synonym of H. parvula var. parvula, it has linear (not lanceolate) leaves, subulate (not filiform) anther filaments, and a pyramidal (not spherical) stigma. It also did not clade with H. parvula var. parvula in the phylogeny produced in the current study, but instead resolved as sister to the clade containing H. hemerocallidea (albeit with moderate to poor support). Although both H. uniflorata and H. hemerocallidea have pyramidal stigmas and subulate anther filaments, these shared character states are the most commonly present among the southern African Hypoxis. It is plausible that this grouping might be an artifact of the limited taxon coverage in the current dataset. Distribution and habitat:β€” Hypoxis uniflorata is a South African endemic, originally thought to be restricted to the Free State province where it was only known from the type locality on the farm Koolhoek. It may also be found in the country’s KwaZulu-Natal province based on the specimen Singh 308 (PRE), which was collected from the Ncandu State Forest Reserve, but the species identity of this population needs to be verified. At the type locality, H. uniflorata mostly grows in wet rock crevices at altitudes of 1820–1900 m.a.s.l. Additional specimen examined:β€” SOUTH AFRICA.

    Hypoxis membranacea Baker (1878: 106) Type:β€” SOUTH AFRICA. KwaZulu-Natal: Tugela River, 1 March 1872, Gerrard 1835 (holotype K! [image]; isotype P! [image]). Rhizome 4–6 mm in diam., oblong with few contractile roots, crowned by leaves and few fine bristles, white inside. Leaves few, 6–8, wrapped at base in membranous, brown tunic, lanceolate or ovate, 80–150 Γ— 8–25 mm, membranous, scattered with pustules, translucent and visible against light; veins 13–14, all flush with surface, sparsely hairy on both surfaces; hairs long, weak, stellate interspersed with simple hairs, white. Inflorescence 1 or 2 per plant, corymbose, covered in long, weak, white hairs; scapes shorter than or as tall as leaves, delicate, 40–90 mm long, flattened in cross section (ancipitous); bracts 2, subulate, 3–6 mm long, lightly hairy below. Flowers (1)2 or 3; pedicels weak, lax, 12–40 mm when flowers open; tepals white adaxially, 4.5–8.0 mm long in open flowers. Stamens 3+3, with filaments filiform, white, 1.5–2.0 mm long; anthers 1.2–1.5 mm long, sagittate, apex split. Ovary 1.0– 1.5 mm long; style filiform, 2.0– 2.5 mm long; stigma minute, spherical, ca. 0.5 mm in diam. Capsule turbinate or subglobose, 2–3 Γ— 1.5–3.0 mm, opening by circular slit, splitting longitudinally into 3 lobes. Seeds ovoid, 1.10–1.25 mm Γ— 0.95–1.00 mm, black, dull; seed coat epidermal cells isodiametric, 4–8-gonal with straight, channelled, anticlinal boundaries smooth and well defined or indistinct and/or covered with micropapillae; convex outer periclinal cell wall columellate and/or capitate/ pilate, micropapillate; micropapillae commonly overlap with no clear pattern in distribution of different lengths across periclinal wall. Flowering time: November to February (–April). Diagnostic characters and relationships:β€” Hypoxis membranacea is most often confused with the H. parvula varieties (particularly the white-flowered var. albiflora). It is distinguished from H. parvula var. albiflora by having white (not yellow) anther filaments and usually having two or three flowers per inflorescence (not just one flower). It can easily be distinguished from H. parvula var. parvula by having tepals that are white adaxially (not yellow). Hypoxis membranacea is closely related to H. angustifolia and H. nivea with which it shares soft leaves and lax inflorescences. It is distinguished from both taxa by having lanceolate leaves (not linear leaves) that bare translucent pustules on the adaxial surface (not smooth). It can further be distinguished from H. angustifolia by having tepals that are white adaxially (not yellow). Distribution and habitat:β€” Hypoxis membranacea is thought to be a South African endemic, restricted to KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape and Mpumalanga provinces, with a coastal to inland distribution. The species is also reported to be present in Eswatini by Singh (2009). Although there is lack of verifiable evidence to support its presence in that country, it is feasible given the proximity of Mountainlands Nature Reserve, Mpumalanga, South Africa (where H. membranacea can be found) to Eswatini. The species is plentiful in coastal forest where it can occur with H. angustifolia var. buchananii Baker (1878: 111) and/or H. nivea. It grows on the forest floor or cliff faces in rock crevices and is known from altitudes of 20– 900 m.a.s.l. Additional specimens examined:β€” SOUTH AFRICA.
