Independent Origins of Aquatic Eupatorieae (Asteraceae)

A revision and morphological analysis of the Uruguayan species of Stevia (Compositae, Eupatorieae)

“…It includes the South American species S. rebaudiana (Bertoni) Bertoni, commonly known as candyleaf, with food, industrial and medicinal uses (Brandle et al 1998;Soejarto 2002;Salvador-Reyes et al 2014). This genus belongs to the subtribe Piqueriinae of the tribe Eupatorieae, a derivate evolutionary lineage of Asteraceae (Robinson et al 2009;Tippery et al 2014;Rivera et al 2016).…”

Gymnocoronis spilanthoides(Asteraceae, Eupatorieae), a new naturalized and potentially invasive aquatic alien in S Europe

“…& Arn.) DC., native to Mesoamerica and South America, respectively (Turner 1997;Tippery & al. 2014).…”

“…Gymnocoronis spilanthoides (Senegal tea plant, water snowball) has been traded worldwide as an aquarium and aquatic ornamental plant since the second half of the 20 th century and has been recorded as an invasive alien in E Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and C Europe, which has a single site in Hungary (Lukács & al. 2014;Tippery & al. 2014).…”

Taxonomic Revision of Kaunia (Eupatorieae, Asteraceae), an Andean Genus with Presence in Eastern South America

“…(Eupatorieae), which includes 10 genera distributed from southern North America to South America, with the highest concentration of species in Mexico and the Andean highlands. However, recent molecular studies on Eupatorieae (Hattori, 2013;Fernandes, 2014;Tippery et al, 2014;Rivera et al, 2016) are challenging the circumscription of the subtribes proposed by King and Robinson (1987 and subsequent works) by showing them as nonmonophyletic groups. For this reason, the placement of Kaunia in Oxylobinae should be confirmed by future studies involving comprehensive sampling throughout the tribe.…”
