Thispatternisperhapsreminiscentofearlierdaysinthetaxonomic history of Guatteria (moreelaboratelydescribedby Erkensetal.2008).AfterthedescriptionofthegenusbyRuiz &Pavón(1794)thenumberofspeciessteadilyincreased viaforinstancetheworksofDunal(1817),DeSaint-Hilaire (1824–1825),VonSchlechtendahl(1834),VonMartius(1841), Triana&Planchon(1862),Diels(1905,1906,1924a,b,1927, 1931)andFries(1938).Atthatpointintime‘Sweden’sgrand oldmanofbotany’(Buchwald1970),RobertFries,hadtaken a keen interest in the 151 species of Guatteria described and heworkedontheonlyrevisionbeforethecurrentone.He synonymized and transferred species but also described 106 newones,andorganizedthesespeciesinto30sections(Fries 1939).Laterheerectedtwosubgenera(Fries1955a)andhe reducedthenumberofsectionsto22(Fries1959b).Afterhis revision, Fries continued to be the main describer of new speciesinthegenus(fordetailsagainseeErkensetal.2008). THE PIONEER OF ANNONACEAE SYSTEMATICS KlasRobertEliasFries(11July1876–29January1966;Fig.1) was the author of the only comprehensive revision of Guatteriatodate.Nexttothisrevisionhehasleftanextensiveand impressivebotanicalrecordofaccomplishment.Inhisworkhe coveredthreecontinents(Europe,SouthAmericaandAfrica) withworksontaxonomy,phytogeographyandmycology.He Confronting a morphological nightmare: revision of the Neotropical genus Guatteria (Annonaceae) P.J.M.Maas1,L.Y.T.Westra1,S.AriasGuerrero1,A.Q.Lobão2,U.Scharf3, N.A.Zamora4,R.H.J.Erkens1,5 1NaturalisBiodiversityCenter,sectionBotany,P.O.Box9517,2300RA Leiden,TheNetherlands. 2LaboratóriodeSistemáticaeBiogeografia,SetorBotânica,Departamento deBiologiaGeral,UniversidadeFederalFluminense,RiodeJaneiro,Brazil. 3Herbarium,InstitutfürBotanik,UniversitätLeipzig,Johannisallee21–23, D-04103Leipzig,Germany. 4 InstitutoNacionaldeBiodiversidad(INBIO),ApartadoAereo22-3100,Santo DomingodeHeredia,CostaRica. 5MaastrichtScienceProgramme,MaastrichtUniversity,Maastricht,The Netherlands.

THE GUATTERIA PROJECT Around2000aprojectwasstartedattheNationaalHerbarium Nederland-UtrechtBranch(nowpartofNaturalisBiodiversity Center,Leiden;Erkens&Baas2008)toinvestigateGuatteria as part of the AnnonaceaeResearchProject(Maas1984). Theprojecthadthefollowingmainaims:1)torevisethespecies of Guatteria based on a geographic division among coworkers;2)toclarifythephylogeneticpositionofGuatteria within Annonaceae;3)toelucidatetherelationshipsbetweenthe genera in the Guatteria group;4)toproduceaphylogenetictree containingasignificantnumberofspeciesofGuatteria;5)to investigatethebiogeographichistoryofthegenus;and6)to provide insight into the evolution of key morphological and anatomicalcharacters. REVISIONARY WORK TherevisionofspeciesdiversityinGuatteria based on a geographicaldivisionprovedfruitful.ThesoutheasternBrazilian speciesweremainlyinvestigatedbyLobãoforherthesisand inpublications(Lobão&Mello-Silva2007,Lobãoetal.2010, 2011,2012,Lobão&Lopes2014).Scharfetal.focusedon speciesfromtheGuianashieldarea(2005,2006a,b,2008) andmadeacontributiontotheFloraoftheGuianas(inprep.). Erkensetal.focusedmoreonCentralAmerica,theCaribbean and non-Amazonian Colombia, as can be seen from the preliminarytreatmentforFloraMesoamericanainErkens’thesis (Erkens2007)andseveralnewlydescribedspeciesfromthat area(Erkensetal.2006,AriasGuerreroetal.2014,seealso thispublication).SusanaAriasG.revisedtheWestColombianAndeanspeciesforherMastersthesis(AriasGuerrero 2011,unpubl.data).AlsoZamoraetal.havebeenworkingon especiallytheCostaRicandiversity(Zamora&Maas2000, Erkensetal.2006,seealsothispublication).Lastly,Maaset al.focusedonAmazonianSouthAmerica(Maasetal.1988, Erkensetal.2008,Maas&Westra2010,2011)butMaasalso made contributions to many of the other publications mentioned above.ForamoreelaborateoverviewofpublicationsonGuatteria see Erkensetal.(2012b). Thisrevisionistheculminationofallthiswork.Itwillserveas anewtaxonomicbaselineforfuturework,finallyreplacing Fries’1939revision.Assuchthisrevisionfitsinalongtradition of systematic work on Annonaceae(Chatrouetal.2012a). Thecurrentrevisionrecognizes177speciesofGuatteria.This means that Guatteria is no longer the largest genus within Annonaceaecontrarytoasstatedbefore(Erkensetal.2008)and cannot be seen as one of the largest genera of woody Neotropicaltreesanymore. THE PHYLOGENETIC POSITION OF GUATTERIA WITHIN ANNONACEAE InmorphologicalanalysesofAnnonaceae the position of Guatteria wasunclear(e.g.,Doyle&LeThomas1996)because many of the character states for Guatteria are homoplastic or uniquewithinthefamily.Alsotheearlymolecularphylogenetic analyses placed Guatteria ambiguously with respect to its sister clades(Bygrave2000,Richardsonetal.2004,Couvreuretal. Fig. 1PotraitofRobertE.Friesatc.28yearsofage(originalintheRegnellianHerbarium,Stockholm,Sweden). 3 P.J.M.Maasetal.:RevisionoftheNeotropicalgenusGuatteria 2008).Itwasclear,however,thatthecladetowhichGuatteria belongs contains genera with African, Asian and South Americanorigins(Doyleetal.2004,Richardsonetal.2004, Couvreuretal.2008),nowcalledsubfamilyAnnonoideae.Areconstructionspecificallyofthephylogeneticrelationshipswithin Annonoideae was undertaken in order to address the issue of the phylogenetic position of Guatteria (Erkensetal.2009). Unfortunately, in that study there was still ambiguity with respect totheplacementoffourlineages(allclassifiedastribesbyChatrouetal.2012b):Guatterieae, Duguetieae, Xylopieae, and the remainderofthespeciesofthisclade(Annoneae, Monodoreae and Uvarieae).ThepositionofGuatteria at the end of a long branchmightbecauseforthesealternativeplacements(due tolong-branchattraction;Erkensetal.2009).Subsequent, family-wide analyses have not been able to resolve this issue either(Couvreuretal.2011,Chatrouetal.2012b). Thephylogenetically(longbranch)andmorphologically(unique characterstates)isolatedpositionofGuatteria might be explainedbyitsbiogeographicalhistory.Itwasshownthatthe most likely distribution of the stem lineage of Guatteria was the African-North American region and a scenario of migration fromAfricaviaEuropeintoCentralandSouthAmericahas beenhypothesisedforthisgenus(foranelaboratediscussion onthisandotherscenariosseeErkensetal.2009).Stepwise coolingfromtheMiddleEoceneonwardsremovedfrost-intoleranttaxafrommuchofNorthAmerica.Inthisscenariointhe Middle/EarlyMiocene(between18and11Ma)theancestors of Guatteria reached Central America, just before the northern climatebecametoohostile.Inthissituationanyintermediate NorthAmericanandEuropeantaxawentextinctandaphylogeneticallyisolatedgenusremainssittingonalongbranch. Also, all taxa with intermediate morphological character states were removed and therefore it is now impossible to connect extant Guatteria to other Annonaceae genera morphologically (Erkensetal.2009). THE FORMER GUATTERIA GROUP Until a few years ago four genera were thought, on morphological grounds, to be part of the so-called Guatteriagroup(Fries 1939,1943,1959b):Guatteria, Guatteriopsis R.E.Fr.,GuatteriellaR.E.Fr.andHeteropetalum Benth.Thecloseaffinitybetween these genera was established by many authors independentlyonmorphologicalgrounds(fordetailsseeErkensetal. 2007a,Erkens&Maas2008)andviamoreformal(molecularor morphological)phylogeneticanalyses(Heetal.1999,Bygrave 2000).However,noneofthelatterstudieshadsufficienttaxon sampling or enough data to adequately address the putative monophylyofthesefourgenera.Thisquestionwasspecifically addressed in a molecular phylogenetic study and it was shown that Guatteriopsis, Guatteriella and Heteropetalum were actually nested within Guatteria (Erkensetal.2007a).Asaresult the nested genera were transferred into Guatteria (Erkens& Maas2008). PHYLOGENETIC TREE OF GUATTERIA A phylogenetic tree based on four regions of the plastid genome andcontainingc.40%ofthespeciesofGuatteria was constructed(Erkensetal.2007a,b),butinternalresolutioninthis treeprovedtobeweak(Fig.2).Therefore,acompletelynew subgenericclassificationofGuatteria is still premature because of the lack of molecular and morphological synapomorphies to definenewsections(Erkensetal.2007a,2008).Currently,an improved version of this phylogenetic tree is being generated basedonfullplastomesequences(Erkens&Brandão,inprep.).                                                                                                                                                                       all support values ≥ BS 85%/PP 0.95 one support value ≥ BS 85%/PP 0.95 both support values ≥ BS 50%/PP 0.5 Fig. 2MostparsimonioustreeaspublishedinErkensetal.2007based on plastid matK, trnLF, rbcL and psbA-trnH sequences but updated for the taxonomypresentedinthispaper.Supportvaluecatagoriesaresummaries ofbootstrappercentages(BS)andBayesianposteriorprobabilities(PP;for moredetailsontheanalysesseetheoriginalpaper). 4Blumea–Volume60/1–3,2015 INFRAGENERIC BIOGEOGRAPHY OF GUATTERIA Theinterestingquestioniswhatcausedthelackofresolutionin the phylogenetic tree of Guatteria.Threemajorbiogeographical events in the history of the genus were reconstructed and hypothesisedtoberesponsibleforthepatternfound(Erkens etal.2007b).TheoldestextantlineagesofGuatteria can be foundinCentralAmerica(Erkens etal.2007b),exceptfor the lineage leading to G. heteropetala (Erkens etal.2007a). TheCentralAmericanlineagehasdiversifiedandgivenrise to mainly endemic Central American species, which are morphologicallyclearlydistinguishable.Itisthoughtthatasecond trans-oceanicMiocenemigrationfromCentralintoSouthAmericahastakenplace(inadditiontotheoneleadingtoG. heteropetala)beforetheclosingoftheIsthmusofPanama,followed byamajordiversificationofthelineagewithinSouthAmerica (mainlyintheAmazon).Sucharapidandrecentburstof diversificationfromthemostrecentcommonancestorofthe extantspeciescanresultinpoorlyresolvedphylogenies(Richardsonetal.2001).Thethirdimportantbiogeographicalevent was the re-migration of several South American lineages into CentralAmericaviatheclosedPanamanianlandbridge.These speciesaremorphologicallydifficulttodistinguishfromeach other,asistobeexpectedofyoungspecies.Itcan,therefore, be concluded that Guatteria is not an Amazonian centred genus sensuGentry(Gentry1982)butagenuswithampleMiocene speciationfollowingitsdispersalintoSouthAmerica. Althoughthisrapiddiversificationofthe‘SouthAmerican Clade’withinGuatteria (Erkensetal.2007b)hasledtoalarge amount of species, Guatteria itself does not constitute a radiation(Erkensetal.2012a).Guatteria is in itself one of the larger annonaceous genera, but not larger than can be explained on thebasisofstochasticity(actually,incomparisontoitsputative sistergroupsitisrathersmall).Asamatteroffact,noneofthe largestgenerainthefamilyaretheresultofradiations(except perhaps Goniothalamus).ThelargercladeswithinAnnonaceae probably did not result from intrinsic key innovations since lineage-through-timeplotsarefairlylinear.Thisisgenerally associatedwithaconstantrateofdiversification.Annonaceae asawholediversifiedatanoverallsteadyrate(possiblydue tolowextinctionrates;Couvreuretal.2011). INSIGHT INTO THE EVOLUTION OF KEY MORPHOLOGICAL AND ANATOMICAL CHARACTERS Therecentdivergenceof[somespeciesof]Guatteria, the lack ofphylogeneticstructureandtheabsenceof(key-)characters associated with speciation severely hampers character mappingontoaphylogenetictree(Erkens2007).Somecharacters havebeentried(e.g.,woodanatomicalcharacters;Erkenset al.2007a)buttheevolutionofmostcharactersisstillpoorly understood.Forinstance,theindument(coveringthewhole plant in a species as G. tomentosa)isveryeasilyrecognizable andunidentifiedspecimenscanthereforeoftenbeassigned tospeciesbasedonthis.However,itisunclearwhetherornot indumenttypesshowhomoplasy.Thissituationiscomparable to the problematic use of the impressed secondary venation as a delimiting character for the Guatteria amplifolia-complex inCentralAmerica(Erkens2007).Thereisonenoteworthy exception(Maas&Westra2011):speciesthatarecharacterizedbyleaveswithtinywarts(verruculae)onbothsurfaces (incombinationwithelongateandshort-stipitatemonocarps) belongtooneparticularcladethatalignswithFries’sect.Mecocarpus.However,thefunctionofthesewartsisstillunclearand theirsynapomorphicstatusisamatterofdebate(Erkensetal. 2007a,Maas&Westra2011).

Perhapstheoddestmemberofthegenustobementionedhere is G. grandiflora, occurring not only with terminal solitary flowers, but also quite often with 2–few-flowered terminal paniclelikeinflorescences.Inadditiontoterminalflowersthereare alsoflowersonsmallaxillarytwigs.Theinflorescencesseem to branch dichotomously, without showing the familiar pattern ofaxillaryshootsfromaxilsofleavesorbracts.Oncloserlook partialfusionofaxes(concaulescence)appearstoaccount forwhatseemedstrangeatfirst.Fries(1939)gaveanalyses based on several herbarium specimens which he illustrated withdrawings(1939:293–296,f.1;Fig.41).Thesmallaxillary twigs of G. grandiflora just mentioned are comparable to inflorescences in other Guatteria species, distinct mainly by theelongateinternodesbetweenthebracts.Pairedflowersin theaxilscanoriginateintwoways(Fries1919).Oneisthata serialaccessorybudsituatedbelowthefirstbudalsodevelops aflower(Fig.4d).Thereappeartwoflowersinamoreorless parallelstageofdevelopment(‘einandergleichwertig’,Fries 1919)(Fig.4e).Thesecondpossibilityisdevelopmentofa lateralshootfromtheaxilofabractofthefirst-orderstalk.The twoflowersthenareinsuccessivestagesofdevelopment(‘Die zweiteBlüte…dieTochterblütedererstenundnichtgleichwertigmitdieser’,Fries1919).Itislikelythatadditionalflowers that appear, often after the leaf has fallen, can originate via bothways.However,becauseofthehighlycompactinflorescence structure of many Guatteriaspeciesitisoftendifficult to determine whether a flower arose from an accessory bud orfromtheaxilofabractextremelyclosetothebase.Apeculiar species is the recently described G. flagelliflora where inflorescencebranchinghastakenplacemanytimes(Fig.4g). InthecauliflorousG. scalarinervia the inflorescences are much morecompact,butbranchingcanstillbeseen(Fig.4h).Inother cauliflorousspecies,e.g.,G. ferruginea, G. scandens, flowers appear as if implanted in the callous tissue that had been formingasinflorescencesbecameolder(Fig.4i).Moremorphological study is needed here, perhaps best by observing living plantsduringgrowthstages.Alsotheroleofaccessorybuds is important, particularly regarding the question of whether one or(many)moreaccessorybudsmightbeinvolved. Afinalnoteshouldbemaderegardingtheuseofthetermpedicel.Inourdescriptionsthisreferstotheflowerstalkaswe intuitively see it in the leaf axils and as sticking out from the compact inflorescences that can be observed on older leafless partsoftheplant.Strictlyspeaking,onlythepartabovethe articulation should be termed pedicel, the part below the articulationbeingashortshootasexplainedabove.Forpractical descriptive reasons we refrained from discriminating between pedicel proper and the supporting short shoot in measuring theflowerstalkoverthewholelength,exceptfore.g.,G. terminalis, where pedicel length is measured from the articulation upward.InG. grandiflora the free parts of the flower stalks are measuredaspedicels. Flowers Flower buds are generally depressed to broadly ovoid in outline,rarelyconical(e.g.,G. friesiana).Theirapexisgenerally obtuse,butinafewspeciestheapexisdistinctlypointed(Fig. 5).Thesepalsarealwaysmuchsmallerthanthepetals.In most species the sepals are free, but in a few species they arebasallyconnate.Theirshapevariesfromovate-triangular tobroadlyovate-triangular.Thesepalsareappressedtothe petalsorpartlyorcompletelyreflexed.Thelengthofthesepals rangesfrom2–20mm;thelengthismostlyaveragingfrom 2–10mm.Ahandfulofspecieshassepalslargerthan10mm. ExtremesareG. latifoliafromSEBrazilwithsepalsof10–20by 10 mm and G. talamancana from Central America with sepals of15–20by10–15mm.Petalsareintwo3-merouswhorls, muchsurpassingthesepalsinsize.Theaestivationisimbricate, exceptionallyvalvate(e.g.,G. blepharophylla, G. heteropetala), usuallyonlyvisibleinyoungbuds.Thepetalsgenerallysoon spreadwhilecontinuingtodevelopandbecomelarger.While the growth phase takes a certain amount of time, anthesis itself, as is generally the case in Annonaceae, lasts only a short time.Intheshortanthesisphasethepetalshavetheirmaximum sizebeforetheyareshed.Asmatureflowerscanbeconsiderably larger than flowers in the development stage immediately preceding it, and given the fact that good ripe flowers may still not have been collected in many species, the measurements in the descriptions in a number of species may have to be read withcaution.Thecolourmostoftenreported,apartfromgreen, 8Blumea–Volume60/1–3,2015 is(shadesof)yelloworcream;whitehasbeenreportedonvariousoccasionsasisalsothecasewithpinkorred(e.g.,G. stipitata).Thechocolate-brownpetalsofG. aberrans and the leadcoloured petals of G. terminalisdeservespecialmention.The petals of the two whorls generally are of comparable size and shape.ThemostnotableexceptionisG. heteropetala where theouterpetalsareonlyabouthalfthesizeoftheinnerpetals. Thisfeatureformedthemainreasonforplacingthisspecies in a separate genus Heteropetalum. Also G. vallensis must be mentioned where the inner petals, as far as seen in the type collection,areabouthalfaslongastheouterpetals(Fig.70f). Thegeneralshapevariesfromelliptic,ovate-elliptic,ovate, obovate,tonarrowlyso,oroblonginvariouscombinations. Morerareare,amongothers,ovate-trullate,obtrullateorflabellateshapes(G. flabellata).Inthedescriptionsusuallyone set of measurements is given for all six petals, except where outerandinnerwhorldiffervisibly.PetallengthinGuatteria variesfrom5–50mm,butgenerallyisover10mm.Species with the smallest petals are G. emarginata(5–9by6–7mm) and G. minutiflora(5–15by3–7mm).Thelargestpetalsare foundine.g.,G. grandiflora(15–40by5–13mm),G. ucayalina(20–45by7–25mm),G. punctata(10–50by5–20mm), G. flabellata(25–50by10–40mm).Thetorusvariesfrom broadly ovoid to conical, shortly cylindrical or cushion-shaped with a convex, flat or concave depression at the top, rarely with aflattop(G. heteropetala)(seeVanHeusden1992).Thereare many stamens in the genus Guatteria.Theyareprovidedwith averyshortfilament;theanthersareextrorselydehiscent.All species have a distinct apical and discoid prolongation of the connective,theso-calledconnectiveshield(Fig.6).Theconnective shield mostly is flat, but in a few species it is adorned withaswellinginthecentre,calledumbo.Thepresenceofthis umboisnotconstantwithinaspecies.Theconnectiveshieldis covered with minute papillae or less frequently with tiny simple, erecthairs,oritisglabrous.Thelengthofthestamensmostly variesfrom1–2mm,exceptionallymore.Thelargeststamens are found in G. grandiflora, G. guianensis, G. paludosa and G. pittieri,wherethestamenscanreachalengthof3mm. Carpelsarefree,generallynumerous,varyingfrom1.5–4mm long, hairy, narrowed into a style or not, the stigma obovoid, discoid, or obconical, sometimes cup-shaped and grooved, ovule1,basal(VanHeusden1992).

Keys Guatteria, with few exceptions, is morphologically relatively homogeneouswhencomparedtootherannonaceoustaxa. Also,thereisgreatvariation(orplasticity)incharacterstates withmuchoverlapasaresult.Furthermore,Guatteria shows an extended period of flower development as contrasted with itsshortperiodofanthesis.Oftenripeflowersshowamarked increaseinsizeandachangeincolour(mostlylasting1–2days only).Unfortunatelyripeflowershavestillnotbeencollected inmanyspecies.Inevitably,anattempttoconstructadichotomous key given the three factors mentioned above is going to result in several leads leading to the same species in many instances.Suchakeyisnotonlyalmostimpossibletoconstruct butalsoextremelyfrustratingtouse.Inouropinion,therefore, a synoptical key is to be preferred, like we did in the past in revisions of Rollinia(Maasetal.1992)andDuguetia(Maaset al.2003).Fortwosmallerareas,however,viz.CentralAmerica andEandSEBrazil,inwhichonlyalimitednumberofspecies hadtobetreated,wedecidedtopresentadichotomouskey. Synoptical key—Theusermaystartwithanynumber,dependinguponthestateofthematerialathand.Ausefullead is,ofcourse,theentrydevotedtogeography.Thespeciesare representedbyfour-lettersymbols(seebelow).Speciesmentioned in more than 1 lead are printed in italics.Ifthereisa marked difference between the frequency ratio of character states, only the
