KEY WORDS Rubiaceae, Morindeae, Appunia, Coelospermum, Gynochthodes, Morinda, Siphonandrium, new combinations. ABSTRACT A new circumscription and new generic delimitations of the tribe Morindeae in the subfamily Rubioideae (Rubiaceae) have been proposed as a result of two recent molecular phylogenetic studies. he adoption of a narrow circumscription of Morinda and a broad circumscription of Gynochthodes requires new combinations and names in these genera. his study presents descriptions of the newly delimited Gynochthodes and Morinda, and 78 new combinations (73 in the former and five in the latter) and three new names (Gynochthodes alejandroi Razafim. & B.Bremer, G. ridsdalei Razafim. & B.Bremer, and G. wongii Razafim. & B.Bremer). We make three lectotypifications, and recognize 15 species in Appunia, 11 species in Coelospermum, 93 species in Gynochthodes, 39 species in Morinda, and one species in Siphonandrium. Finally, a list of all currently recognized species for each genus of Morindeae is presented.

MOTS CLÉS Rubiaceae, Morindeae, Appunia, Coelospermum, Gynochthodes, Morinda, Siphonandrium, nouvelles combinaisons. RÉSUMÉ Changements nomenclaturaux et notes taxonomiques dans la tribu Morindeae (Rubiaceae). Une nouvelle circonscription et de nouvelles délimitations génériques de la tribu des Morindeae dans la sous-famille des Rubioideae (Rubiaceae) ont été proposées à la suite de deux récentes études phylogénétiques moléculaires. L’adoption d’une circonscription étroite de Morinda et d’une circonscription large de Gynochthodes nécessite de nouvelles combinaisons et de nouveaux noms dans ces genres. Cette étude présente des descriptions de Gynochthodes et Morinda nouvellement délimités et 78 nouvelles combinations (73 chez le premier et cinq chez le second) et trois nouveaux noms (Gynochthodes alejandroi Razafim. & B.Bremer, G. ridsdalei Razafim. & B.Bremer et G. wongii Razafim. & B.Bremer). Nous établissons trois lectotypifications et reconnaissons 15 espèces chez Appunia, 11 espèces chez Coelospermum, 93 espèces chez Gynochthodes, 39 espèces chez Morinda et une espèce chez Siphonandrium. Enfin, une liste de toutes les espèces actuellement reconnues pour chaque genre des Morindeae est présentée. INTRODUCTION A new circumscription of the pantropical tribe Morindeae of the subfamily Rubioideae (Rubiaceae) has recently been established based on a molecular phylogenetic study by Razafimandimbison et al. (2008). he members of Morindeae can be diagnosed by their massive T-shaped placentae inserted in the middle of the septum bearing two anatropous ovules per carpel and pyrenes with a single lateral germination slit (Igersheim & Robbrecht 1993). he tribe is additionally characterized by the frequent occurrence of head-like inflorescences and multiple fruits. A more recent study by Razafimandimbison et al. (2009) demonstrated the paraphyly of the type genus Morinda L. with respect to its closely related genera Coelospermum Blume, Gynochthodes Blume, Pogonolobus F.Muell., and Sarcopygme Setch. & Christoph. As a consequence, new generic limits of Morindeae were proposed in order to make Morinda monophyletic, and that morphologically well-defined genera were recognized in Morindeae. A total of five genera were recognized: the Neotropical Appunia Hook.f., the tropical Asian and Australasian Coelospermum (including the Australian Pogonolobus), the tropical Asian and Australasian, and Malagasy 284 Gynochthodes (including the vast majority of the lianescent species of Morinda), the pantropical Morinda (including Sarcopygme), and the New Guinean Siphonandrium (see Appendix 1). Keys to the accepted genera of Morindeae were presented in Razafimandimbison et al. (2009). he adoption of the new circumscriptions of Gynochthodes and Morinda requires many new combinations. In this paper, we present updated descriptions of the newly circumscribed Gynochthodes and Morinda, and make a total of 78 new combinations (73 in the former and 5 in the latter) and three new names in Gynochthodes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We consulted all type specimens of the species of Morinda at L and S herbaria, all scanned images of those at BR, BM, F, K, MO, P, and US herbaria via the Global Plants Initiative (http:// www.bores.org) website, and those available at the websites of A (http://www.huh.harvard. edu) and NY (http://sciweb.nybg.org) herbaria (all abbreviations after Holmgren et al. 1990). In addition, we received scanned images of all type specimens of the lianescent Morinda and ADANSONIA, sér. 3 • 2011 • 33 (2) Nomenclatural changes and taxonomic notes in the tribe Morindeae (Rubiaceae) Sarcopygme housed at BISH herbarium. Inclusion of the species of Morinda and Sarcopygme, respectively, in Gynochthodes and Morinda (both sensu Razafimandimbison et al. 2009) were based on the identification using the keys to the genera presently recognized in Morindeae sensu Razafimandimbison et al. (2009) coupled with the results of Razafimandimbison and Bremer (unpubl. data.) based on combined nrETS, nrITS, rps16, and trnT-F data.

REMARKS We favor the orthographic variant Coelospermum (from coelo-, meaning with a hole in Greek) over the original spelling Caelospermum, as the author himself made the correction in his Flora javae (Blume 1828). Brummitt & Taylor (1990) consider that the spelling corrected by the original author should be followed. he synonymy was already established by Razafimandimbison et al. (2009: 885) for Pogonolobus. DUBIOUS SPECIES 1. Coelospermum ahernianum Elmer. – Leaflets of Philippine Botany 41: 3 (1906). Remarks We agree with Johansson (1988) that Coelospermum ahernianum does not belong to Coelospermum, because it does not have the characteristics of the genus as delimited here. 285 Razafimandimbison S.

Remarks Johansson (1988: 289) argued that this species is possibly conspecific with C. monticolum Baill. ex Guillaumin, as this latter is the only species of Coelospermum known from the type locality of C. fragrans (Île Art). We are unable to verify this because we could not trace the type specimen of C. fragrans. he location of Montrouzier material was moved from the “Faculté de Pharmacie” to LYJB.

REMARKS Morinda reticulata Gamble is an illegitimate name, as it is a later homonym of Morinda reticulata Benth., which has priority over the former. Razafimandimbison et al. (2009) confirmed that the Australian Morinda reticulata Benth. belongs to Coelospermum, consistent with Baillon (1879) who already made the new combination Coelospermum decipiens Baill. he specific epithet “reticulata” cannot be used in combination with Gynochthodes, as it would be a later homonym of Gynochthodes reticulata (Valeton) Razafim. & B.Bremer. he replacement name rids- ADANSONIA, sér. 3 • 2011 • 33 (2) dalei refers to Dr. Colin Ridsdale, who has a great knowledge of the tropical Asian Rubiaceae.
