(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2025) María Lenny Rodríguez-Escobar; Rogéria Inês Rosa Lara; Margoth Atahuachi Burgos; A C.; Carla Maldonado; Jaume Bastida; Luciana R. Tallini; Laura Torras‐Claveria
Amaryllidaceae alkaloids from the Amaryllidoideae subfamily exhibit broad pharmacological activities, including neuroprotection and anticancer effects. Galanthamine is a key compound for Alzheimer's therapy. The Hippeastrum genus, particularly in Bolivia, offers significant potential for novel drug discovery, emphasising the need for conservation and further phytochemical research. Twenty-seven samples from Bolivian Hippeastrum species were investigated in terms of their alkaloid profile and anticholinesterase activity. The phytochemical analysis of Bolivian Hippeastrum species via GC-MS identified 48 Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, displaying diverse structural groups with potential pharmacological significance. Lycorine- and Homolycorine-type alkaloids were predominant, particularly in H. chionedyanthum and H. haywardii, with high concentrations of lycorine, a promising anticancer compound. The species H. evansiarum and H. mollevillquense contained notable quantities of Galanthamine type alkaloids, relevant for Alzheimer's treatment. This study also highlights variability in acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activities, with H. lara-ricoi and H. haywardii demonstrating strong inhibition. These findings suggest that Hippeastrum species are a valuable source of bioactive compounds, warranting further research into their therapeutic applications.
Arachis woodii (Leguminosae): a new species from the bolivian Pantanal
(Instituto de Botánica del Nordeste, 2024) Guillermo Seijo; Margoth Atahuachi Burgos; Alejandra V. García; Antonio Krapovickas
Based on the analysis of materials collected in botanical expeditions conducted since 2000 in underexplored regions of Bolivia, in this study we present a novel species to science: Arachis woodii. This species has been collected a few times from a single location in the western edge of the Pantanal swamps, where it thrives in black shallow soil over rock outcrops. While the morphology of its vegetative organs resembles, to some extent, that of A. glandulifera and species of the K genome, a set of features differentiates it. Arachis woodii exhibits large, somewhat dorsiventrally flattened fruits with a prominent somewhat recurved beak, akin to classical elf shoes. The exocarp is dark brown and deeply reticulated. Additionally, the bristles on the lower surface of the leaflets lack a disc of glandular tissue at the base, a trait clearly distinguishing it from A. glandulifera. Chromosomal and molecular marker analyses indicate that this species does not align with any of the genome types described so far in section Arachis.

Boliviadendron, a new segregate genus of mimosoid legume (Leguminosae, Caesalpinioideae, mimosoid clade) narrowly endemic to the interior Andean valleys of Bolivia

Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence data sampling all species of Leucochloron alongside representatives of genera of the Inga and Albizia clades of the larger ingoid clade of mimosoid legumes (sensu Koenen et al. 2020) confirm the non-monophyly of the genus Leucochloron. We show that Leucochloronbolivianum is placed in the Albizia clade, while the remaining four species of Leucochloron are placed in the Inga clade, in line with previous results. To rectify this non-monophyly, L.bolivianum is segregated as the new genus, Boliviadendron, with a single species, Boliviadendronbolivianum, narrowly endemic to the interior Andean valleys of Bolivia. We illustrate this new segregate genus, present a map of its distribution and discuss the striking lack of morphological distinctions between Boliviadendron and Leucochloron, as well as the phylogenetic and morphological affinities of Boliviadendron to the genera Enterolobium and Albizia.
Bolivian Mimosa (Leguminosae, Mimosoideae): three new species and a species checklist
(Q15088586, 2016) Margoth Atahuachi Burgos; M. Leontien van der Bent; John R. Wood; Gwilym P. Lewis; Colin E. Hughes
Three new species of Mimosa (Leguminosae, Mimosoideae) M. chiquitaniensis, M. chochisensis and M. rastrera, two of them endemic to Bolivia, and the third also occurring in Brazil, are described and an annotated species checklist for the genus in Bolivia is presented. This brings the tally of species of Mimosa recorded from Bolivia to 55 (plus five doubtful species to be confirmed), an increase of ca. 50% since the monographic account of the genus published just over 25 years ago.

La metodologia se baso inicialmente en un inventario etnobotanico de plantas medicinales con la participacion de medicos tradicionales del area de estudio (COTTON, 1996); estas plantas fueron colectadas, procesadas e identificadas taxonomicamente. La evaluacion del potencial etnofarmacologico de las plantas se realizo a traves de la consulta de literatura cientifica en MEDLINE y NAPRALERT Y en publicaciones cientfficas generadas por las instituciones nacionales que trabajan en este tema. Se encontraron 237 especies vegetales de uso medicinal agrupadas en 66 familias botanicas. La familia Asteraceae es la mas diversa y usada en una amplia gama de enfermedades. Otras familias diversas son las Solanaceae y las Lamiaceae. Existen varias especies medicinales cuyos usos presentan una estrecha relacion entre el conocimiento tradicional mencionado por nuestros informantes y lo sef!alado en la literatura. Tambien se ha detectado la falta de informacion farmacologica para varias de las plantas citadas en campo. Palabras claves: etnofarmacologia, valles secos, Cochabamba, Bolivia. ABSTRACT The ethno-pharmacological potential of the medicinal flora present between 2 200 and 3000 m in the dry valleys of Cochabamba, Bolivia was evaluated. The study was based on an ethno-botanical survey interviews of local medicine men (COTTON, 1997), and the collection and taxonomic identification of plants. The ethnopharmacological potential of the plants was evaluated by reviewing the scientific literature In MEDLLNE and NAPRALERT and publications by national research groups. We identified 237 medicinal plants, belonging to 66 botanical families. The Asteraceae family was the most diverse and is used to prevent or cure a wide variety of diseases. Other important families were Solanaceae and Lamiaceae. For several species, agreement was detected between the traditional knowledge and usage, reported by our informants, and the potential usage, indicated by the literature. Howevei; a lack of pharmacological information far several species was also detected. Keywords: ethno-pharmacological, dry valleys, Cochabamba, Bolivia.

The Gran Chaco is a wide ecologic-geographic region comprising northern Argentina, western Paraguay, southern Bolivia and the southwestern extreme of Brazil. This region exhibits extreme temperatures, annually regular frosts, and sedimentary soils; it has been dramatically threatened by agriculture expansion in recent decades. Therefore, increasing knowledge of plant diversity is critical for conservation purposes. We present a Legume checklist of the Gran Chaco ecoregion including conservation status of its endemic species. Leguminosae is the third most diverse plant family in the Neotropics. Assuming a rigorous spatial definition of the Gran Chaco, we recorded 98 genera, 362 species, and 404 specific and infraspecific taxa. Endemic/typical taxa were 17%, comparable to adjacent tropical plant formations, and they were found in higher percentages in Caesalpinioideae (24%) and Cercidoideae (33%) than Papilionoideae (11%) subfamily. We also analyzed the plant diversity comparing lineages and subregions. The Gran Chaco Legumes are predominantly widespread generalists, or they belong to either Chaco sensu stricto or Neotropical Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest (SDTF) lineages. Though the Humid Chaco registered the highest species richness, Dry Chaco and Sierra Chaco, the most threatrened subregions, exhibited the highest percentages of exclusive and proper Chaco-lineage species. These results suggest that diversification of Legumes has been most relevant in Dry Chaco and Sierra Chaco, probably by their more demanding and harsh environmental conditions limiting the dispersion of generalists or intrusive-invading species. This study is paramount to reach an improved delimitation of the Gran Chaco ecoregion in transitional areas with the SDTF and Cerrado formations. Conservation status is critical in genera of high economic interest, such as Arachis, Mimosa and Prosopis. At least one third of endemic taxa exhibit a critical status of conservation or are endangered, many of them being relevant to inbreeding program or exhibiting multiple economic uses.

A preliminary, global, community endorsed checklist for Leguminosae (Fabaceae). The World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) is a global consensus view of all known vascular plant species (flowering plants, conifers, ferns, clubmosses and firmosses). The Fabaceae subset contains names that have been peer reviewed by external experts from the Legume Phylogeny Working Group’s (LPWG) and internal experts, as well as names that are in the process of being edited and reviewed. WCVP aims to represent a global consensus view of current plant taxonomy by reflecting the latest published taxonomies while incorporating the opinions of taxonomists based around the world, and following the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants. WCVP is built on the nomenclatural data provided by the International Plant Names Index (IPNI), which is the product of a collaboration between The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, The Harvard University Herbaria, and the Australian National Herbarium, combined with the taxonomic data provided by an international collaborative programme with a large number of contributors from around the world. Our thanks go to the compilers and editors of IPNI and WCVP and in particular the thousands of users who have contributed corrections over the past decades, improving those data for the global user community. We acknowledge the long term contribution of the International Legume Database and Information Service (ILDIS), which provided a species naming infrastructure that was used over many decades by the legume systematics community and which remains the foundation for the taxonomy of many legume species. The WCVP Fabaceae checklist includes the data from WorldWideWattle (Maslin and Wilson, 2024). Donald Hobern is acknowledged for his technical assistance with the alignment between the two datasets. Our particular thanks for the WCVP Fabaceae subset go to: Bob Allkin (Kew), Nick Black (Kew), Markus Döring (GBIF), Joe Miller (GBIF) and Carole Sinou (Canadensys, Université de Montréal) for their help setting up the project and publishing the data. The initiative to update legume species names on WCVP was led by Marianne le Roux (LPWG, South African National Biodiversity Institute), Anne Bruneau (LPWG, Université de Montréal), and Juliana Rando (LPWG, Universidade Federal do Oeste da Bahia). The LPWG Taxonomy Working Group is the Taxonomic Expert Network (TEN) for the legumes in World Flora Online and Alan Elliott (TEN manager) is thanked for his assistance.
