"Systematics and Conservation of the Genus Malacothamnus (Malvaceae)*"*

Talk Description

Malacothamnus (Malvaceae) is a genus of fire-following shrubs found
primarily in the California Floristic Province. The taxonomy of the genus
has been controversial for many years due to conflicting treatments, which
recognize between 11 and 28 taxa. Many taxa of conservation concern are not
recognized in some of these treatments, which makes resolving taxonomic
questions in the genus a conservation priority. To resolve these questions,
I use a combination of morphological, geographic, and phylogenetic
evidence. Morphological analyses are first used to test and refine
previously published and novel hypotheses of taxon boundaries within the
genus that are based on morphology and geography. The resulting
morphological groups are then tested as hypothesized lineages using
phylogenetic analyses. Based on the totality of evidence, a new taxonomic
treatment of the genus is proposed recognizing 30 taxa in 22 species. This
treatment includes life history, discussion and illustrations of
morphological characters useful in identification, and conservation
information relevant to the genus. A key to all taxa is presented, followed
by morphological descriptions, synonymy, common names, typifications,
distribution maps, phenology, conservation status, notes, and photographs.

Bio

Keir Morse recently defended his PhD dissertation at California Botanic
Garden focusing on the genus Malacothamnus, which he has been studying for
the past 7 years. Keir has worked as a professional field botanist for over
20 years, most recently with environmental consulting firms. In his spare
time, Keir works to document where various taxa occur and share photographs
useful in plant identification.
