Abstract
Authors report 139 new nomenclatural combinations in the sections Cynanchicae, Thliphthisa and Hexaphylla of the genus Asperula L. (Rubiaceae). These changes were deemed necessary as a consequence of numerous molecular phylogenetic studies which have provided abundant evidence on the polyphyletic nature of the genus. As the complete species-level phylogeny of the tribe Rubieae, and especially, of the genus Galium L. is not available as yet, the authors preferred to instigate changes only in the sections of Asperula whose phylogenetic position is deemed stable.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
