Hesperodae D.A.German, Hendriks, M.Koch, F.Lens, Lysak, C.D.Bailey, Mumm. & Al-Shehbaz, supertrib. nov.

Type.

Hesperis L.

Description.

Trichomes usually present, simple and/or branched; multicellular glands often present. Leaves normally little divided, nearly never auriculate at base. Most common x = 7.

Distribution.

Native to Eurasia (predominantly temperate and dry subtropical Asia).

Tribes.

Anchonieae DC., Buniadeae DC., Chorisporeae C.A. Mey., Dontostemoneae Al-Shehbaz & Warwick, Euclidieae DC., Hesperideae Prantl, Shehbazieae D.A.German.

Note.

Corresponds to evolutionary lineage III of Beilstein et al. (2006) and subsequent studies, or lineage E of Huang et al. (2016).

3. New tribal adjustments

Updates at the tribal level include recognition of additional six tribes, of which four are newly described and another two are resurrected. Tribal names are followed in parenthesis by numbers of genera and species.

3a. Tribal assignment of Arabidopsis

Huang et al. (2016) were the first to show that Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. and A. lyrata (L.) O’Kane & Al-Shehbaz formed a clade unrelated to the core Camelineae representatives Capsella rubella Reut., Catolobus pendulus (L.) Al-Shehbaz, and Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz. Nikolov et al. (2019) obtained the same results using the same taxa minus Catolobus (C.A. Mey.) Al-Shehbaz. Their findings are fully supported by Hendriks et al. (2022). As a result, Arabidopsis (DC.) Heynh. is placed in its own tribe.
