“…In Peru alone 272 species of Solanum occur, of which 83 are currently listed as endemic (Knapp et al 2006; Särkinen et al, in review). Many new species continue to be described (e.g., Anderson et al 2006; Stern and Bohs 2010; Knapp 2010a,b; Farrugia and Bohs 2010; Tepe et al 2012; Särkinen et al 2013) from the Andean region, discovered both in the field and in the herbarium. Solanum comprises 13 major clades of which the spiny solanum clade corresponding to subgenus Leptostemonum is the largest (Särkinen et al 2013).…”

Four new species of “non-spiny” Solanum from South America are described. Solanum longifilamentum Särkinen & P.Gonzáles, sp. nov. (Morelloid clade) is widespread from Ecuador to Bolivia and is most similar to Solanum macrotonum Dunal from Central and northern South America. Solanum antisuyo Särkinen & S.Knapp, sp. nov. (Morelloid clade) is found on the eastern Andean slopes in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia and is most similar to the widespread lower elevation species Solanum polytrichostylum Bitter. Solanum arenicola Särkinen & P.Gonzáles, sp. nov. (Morelloid clade) is found in low elevation habitats on the eastern Andean slopes and in Amazonia of Peru and Bolivia and is most similar to the higher elevation species Solanum aloysiifolium Dunal of Bolivia and Argentina. Solanum mariae Särkinen & S.Knapp, sp. nov. (Potato clade) is endemic to Cajamarca Department in Peru, and is most similar to the widespread Solanum caripense Dunal. Complete descriptions, distributions and preliminary conservation assessments of all new species are given.

Botanik als Wissenschaft war bis in das 18. Jahrhundert ein Teilgebiet der Medizin und den Männern vorbehalten. Trotzdem wagten sich einige mutige Pionierinnen in diese Domäne. Als Pflanzensammlerinnen oder -zeichnerinnen und als «Forscherinnen» leisteten sie wichtige Erkenntnisse zur Entwicklung der Botanik. Als Beispiel einer Pionierin der Botanik wird die Geschichte der Jeanne Baret erzählt, die als erste Frau die Welt umrundete und dabei unglaubliche Leistungen zur Entdeckung noch unbekannter Pflanzen erbrachte. Während alle Welt den Botaniker Carl Linné kennt, sind die frühen Botanikerinnen der Nachwelt oft kaum (mehr) bekannt. Der Essay vergleicht die speziellen Merkmale dieser Frauen, die es ihnen ermöglichten, trotz widriger Umstände einen Beitrag zur Botanik zu leisten. Neben einer starken Persönlichkeit waren dies bei allen Botanikerinnen viel Enthusiasmus für ihr Fachgebiet sowie die Unterstützung durch männliche Förderer in ihrer nächsten Umgebung.

“…Solanum L. is one of the most species-rich vascular plant genera in South America (Jørgensen et al 2011), where many new species continue to be described (e.g., Anderson et al 2006; Stern 2014; Stern and Bohs 2010; Knapp 2010a,b; Farruggia and Bohs 2010; Tepe and Bohs 2009; Tepe et al 2012; Särkinen et al 2013a, 2015a, 2015b). Within South America, the tropical Andes represent one of the main centres of species diversity for Solanum for both spiny (Leptostemonum clade, see Stern et al 2011) and non-spiny clades (Weese and Bohs 2007; Särkinen et al 2013b).…”

Two new non-spiny Solanum (Solanaceae) from the Gran Chaco Americano and a key for the herbaceous glandular-pubescent solanums from the region

The Gran Chaco Americano is a major savanna woodland system in South America that harbours great plant and animal diversity. Two new herbaceous species of the Morelloid clade of Solanum (largely corresponding to the traditional Solanum section Solanum) are described here from the Bolivian Chaco. Both species are morphologically similar to a group of related species with glandular pubescence and enlarged, foliaceous calyces that includes Solanum atriplicifolium Gillies ex Nees, Solanum nitidibaccatum Bitter, Solanum physalifolium Rusby, Solanum sarrachoides Sendtn. and Solanum tweedianum Hook. Solanum woodii Särkinen & S.Knapp, sp. nov. is unusual in the Morelloid clade in having tapering anthers on short filaments, and is superficially similar to the unrelated Solanum anomalostemon S.Knapp & M.Nee from dry forests in Peru. Solanum michaelis Särkinen & S.Knapp, sp. nov. is distinct in its enlarged calyx with a short tube and long lobes that apparently reflex at fruit maturity. Both new taxa are illustrated, their conservation status assessed, and their distributions mapped. We also provide a key to the glandular-pubescent herbaceous Solanum species of the Chaco vegetation to aid in identification of these taxa.
