Yacher JALTOMATA SANMIGUELINA (SOLANACEAE), A NEW SPECIES FROM NORTHERN PERU Abstract. <...> Jaltomata (Solanaceae) is a plant genus most closely related to the potato and tomato genus, Solanum, and is represented by some 70 shrubby to herbaceous species having edible berries. <...> Over 50 Jaltomata species grow naturally in Peru, from near sea level to 4,000 m elevation, and found in several varied ecologic and distinct geographic regions. <...> Over a period of more than twenty years, we conducted fieldwork in remote places in Peru, borrowed herbarium specimens from numerous museums, and thoroughly studied all relevant taxonomic literature ever published in any language. <...> While studying the taxonomy of the genus Jaltomata we discovered a new-to-science species, J. sanmiguelina Mione & S. Leiva. <...> In the province of San Miguel, Department of Cajamarca, in northern Peru, a new-to-science species, J. sanmiguelina, is described and illustrated. <...> T. Mione, S. Leiva Gonzбlez, L. Yacher JALTOMATA SANMIGUELINA (SOLANACEAE), A NEW SPECIES FROM NORTHERN PERU Аннотация. <...> В ходе исследования классификации вида Jaltomata мы обнаружили вид, ранее не известный науке – J. sanmiguelina Mione & S. Leiva. <...> J. sanmiguelina произрастает только в округе Кайамарка, провинция Сан Мигель, вдоль пути следования из Сан Мигель в Ель Эмпалм, координаты 6º 56' 20,7" S, 78º 49' 57,7" W, на возвышенности 3193 м над уровнем моря. <...> Introduction The genus Jaltomata was described by Schlechtendal in 1838, then some species currently recognized as Jaltomata were treated as a different genus, Hebecladus, created by Miers in 1845. <...> D'Arcy’s view changed over time: in a letter (January 1993) he asked T. M. to continue transferring the remaining species of Hebecladus to the genus Jaltomata. <...> Jaltomata (including Hebecladus) is classified in the family Solanaceae, subfamily Solanoideae, Solaneae Tribe [8]. <...> The molecular phylogeny of the Solanaceae by Olmstead et al. [9] shows that Jaltomata is most closedly related to, is the sister group of, the genus Solanum. <...> Jaltomata is characterized by: 1) basal <...>
