The old World species of Boehmeria (Urticaceae, tribus Boehmerieae). A taxonomic revision

Complete chloroplast genome sequences of two Boehmeria species (Urticaceae)

“…Boehmeria Jacquin (Urticaceae) comprises approximately 47 species and is widely distributed in tropical and temperate regions (Wilmot-Dear and Friis 1996 , 2013 ). It is an economically important genus which provides high-quality fibre (Chen et al.…”

Nomenclatural notes and report of Boehmeria penduliflora Wedd. ex D.G. Long from the Terai region of Uttar Pradesh, India

“…Plant parts were carefully studied under a stereomicroscope (Leica S8APO). Comparative studies were made by examining the relevant taxonomic literature (Yahara 1981;Friss 1993;Wilmot-Dear & Friis 1996, 2013Acharya et al 2002). Specimens housed in ASSAM, BSD, BSHC, CAL, DD, and LWG were studied and digital specimen images were accessed from virtual herbaria of BM, E, G, K, NHNM, and NYBG.…”

“…The apomictic genus Boehmeria (Yahara 1990) is the largest genus in tribe Boehmerieae. After revisionary study 47 species were reported from both new world and old world (Wilmot-Dear & Friis 1996, 2013, of which 15-20 species are known from Indian territory, distributed mostly in tropical regions (Gaur 1999). Boehmeria penduliflora Wedd ex D.G.Long mostly occurs in eastern India, with maximum concentration in the Naga and Khasi hills of Assam and Meghalaya (Wilmot-Dear et al 2013).…”

“…During field exploration in Pilibhit district of Uttar Pradesh, a few specimens belonging to the genus Boehmeria were collected by the last author (VVW). Based on critical microscopic examination and review of literature (Weddell 1854;Lindsat et al 1874;Hooker 1885;Duthei 1915;Kanjilal 1933Kanjilal , 1940Wilmot-Dear & Friis 2013) the specimens were identified as Boehmeria penduliflora Wedd. ex D.G.Long.…”

A taxonomic revision of the Boehmeria spicata complex (Urticaceae) in Korea

“…Taxonomic note: Boehmeria silvestrii and B. tricuspis are often misidentified and confused with each other because the apex of the leaf has a 3-lobed shape. Therefore, most studies in the literature confused these two with each other (Makino, 1940(Makino, , 1961(Makino, , 1989Ohwi, 1953Ohwi, , 1965Kitamura and Murata, 1961;Im, 1996;Lee, 1996aLee, , 1996bLee, 2003;Tateishi, 2006;Liang, 2009;Wilmot-Dear and Friis, 2013;Kim, 2018). Boehmeria silvestrii is clearly distinguished from B. tricuspis as it is subshrubs with sparsely strigillose or subglabrous stems, sparsely strigillose leaves, a lobed perianth of the male flower, an unbranched pistillate inflorescence, and an irregular strigillose achene (Figs.…”
