Bogner Botanischer Garten Miinchen Menzinger StaBe 63 D-80638 Miinchen Germany E, Marchesi Laboratorio de Botanica Casilla de Correo 1238 Montevideo Uruguay LN el INTRODUCTION The genus Mangonia Schott was de- scribed in 1857 with one species (iM. twee- dieana Schott) and later illustrated in his Genera Aroidearum (Schott, 1858). Hick- en (1917) described a new genus, Felip- ponia Hicken, with a single species, Felip- ponia uruguaya Hicken. Later Hicken (1928) changed the generic name to Felip- poniella because his earlier name was a later homonym of a moss genus described by Brotherus in 1912. When one of the au- thors (Bogner, 1973) studied Felippone’s material (Felippone SI-297 and Felippone 5772) it was clearly a second species of Mangonia and thus a separate genus is unnecessary. As circumscribed here the genus Mangonia contains two species. In this paper a comprehensive description of Mangonia tweedieana is presented based on observations made during a visit to Uruguay in 1999. Unfortunately we were unable to recollect M. uruguaya (Hicken) Bogner during the trip in 1999, although it has been very recently recollected at Cerro Largo in the Sierra de Rios. Bogner (1973) published an account of M. uruguaya. DESCRIPTION Mangonia tweedieana Schott, Oesterr. Bot.

The inflorescences and leaves usually ap- pear at different times, although collec- tions exist with inflorescences and leaves collected at the same time, these probably came from different plants.

(1997: pl. 114 D) shows an inflorescence with a petiole present, but this seems to be an exception Distribution Unuguay (Departamentos Amtigas, Pay- sandi, Rivera, Salto and Tucuaremb6 Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul: Banda oriental; Bom Jesus, Barra do Morais).

REMARKS ‘The specimen Berro 1740 (B) cited by Engler was lost during the Second World War. We have not seen the original collec- tion by Waechter 2347, or the living plants cultivated in Porto Alegre, but have seen a duplicate of the collection and color photographs of the plants. There are two sheets of the Tweedie s.n. collection in the Kew Herbarium, both with labels in Schott’s handwriting. The specimen from Hooker's herbarium is a single complete inflorescence (with the stamp ‘Herbarium Hookerianum 1867" and an original label of the locality by Tweedie) and this is cited here as the holotype. The second sheet has, aside from Schot’s determination la- bel, another label with “Hb. Fischer— Tweedie,—Rio Grande’ written on it. This sheet has three somewhat broken inflores- cences and one complete leaf. The leaf was illustrated in Schott’s original plate [Schot’s scones Aroid. no, 2220 (W), see Leaves, growing from connected tubers (Bogner 2376). Photograph: J. Bogner. Bogner, 1973], but was not included in his published plate in Genera Aroidearum (1858: t. 64). Schott (1857, 1858) only briefly de- scribed the leaf of M. tweediana, citing ex- actly the note by Tweedie on the sheet with a single inflorescence. However, by the time he published Prodromus syste- matis Aroidearum (Schott, 1860) he must have seen the second Tweedie sheet with three inflorescences and a single leaf be- cause he described the leaf in detail. This suggests that the drawing of the leaf must have been added later, at least after 1858. Schott’s original description (Schott, 1857) has the name spelled 'M. twedieana’ (e. with only one ‘e’), but this is clearly a misprint as later (Schott, 1858, 1860) the name is contectly cited M. tweedieana (i.e. with two ‘e), as it is on Schott’s hand-writ- ten determination slips, as well as on the original scones Aroid. no. 2220 plate Although no dates are given on the two16 AROIDEANA, Vel. 23 Fig. 8 First foliage leaves of seedlings. Photograph: J. Bogner. Tweedie sheets, it is clear that Tweedie did not find inflorescences and leaves at the same time since his original label says ‘of Banda oriental, The leaves 4 inch long 2 inch broad cordate. I never found leaf and flower at one time’. Logically, Twee- die must have collected the single leaf at a different time from the inflorescences and added it later, There is no doubt that this separate leaf belongs to M. twee- dieana. Engler (1920: 41) wrote: an feu- chten Pkitzen, Rio Grande do Sul (Twee- die—Herb. Kew)’ which translates as ‘in moist places ...', but no such ecological note is present on the two Kew sheets and it is unclear from where this information ame. The leaves of M. tweedieana are quite variable, both in the shape of the lamina and in their width. In Schot’s published plate (1858: t. 64) and in the plate [/cones Aroid. no. 2220 (W)] the stipe of the syn- Fig. 9. Seedling with seed still attached (Bogner 2376). Photograph: H.-J. Tillich. andria appears longer and thinner than that recorded here. We believe that these dimensions depend on drying during the pressing process to make herbarium vouchers because on the herbarium spec- imens the axis of the spadix is shrivelled and furrowed. Fresh or pickled material has a smooth spadix axis and the stipe of the synandria is thicker and thus propor tionally shorter. A key to the two species of Mangonia was given by Bogner (1973) and to tribe Spathicarpeae, to. which Mangonia be- longs, by Bogner & Nicolson (1988). The anatomy of M. tweedieana has been studied by Professor R. Keating, Ed- wardsville, Ill, (USA) and will be pub- lished separately in his treatment of the Ar- aceae in the forthcoming volume Anatomy of the Monocotyledons.
