Ko, H. serratum Guillaumin, H. sleumerianum Lescot, H. stenophyllum Merr. & Chun, H. thuarsianum (Tul.) Baill., H. tomentosum (Vent.) Benth., H. viguieri H. Perrier Notes. – Homalium sect. Blackwellia was intended to be based upon Lamarck’s (1785: 428) genus Blackwellia, but as the generic name is an illegitimate later homonym, Bentham (1859) alone is credited with the name. The later-published sect. Eublackwellia is not a nomenclatural synonym of sect. Blackwellia, but because the name has not been used, it has never been typified. The type designated for sect. Eublackwellia above is chosen to ensure that it will be a synonym of sect. Blackwellia, as it has always been considered to be. At least two of three African species are distinctly unusual. The petals of Homalium chasei from Zimbabwe can be as few in number as 5, at most short-ciliolate, and unusually different in shape from the sepals. Specimens were not seen, but online images make it appear that the calyx tube is funnelform to relatively short turbinate, and the perianth parts are strongly reflexed after anthesis, which is quite unusual. Homalium dentatum has a very short calyx cup and short-ciliolate petals, appears likely to have rapidly caducous bracteoles or unusually plentiful bracts, and sometimes is reported to have a single large seed (Sleumer, 1973). The latter species is observed to have Homalium - like anthers, whereas the southern African H. rufescens and all Malagasy species of sect. Blackwellia have small anthers with subglobose locules. These species occur in the region overlapping the strictly southern distribution of H. rufescens and the usually more northerly distribution of species of sect. Symphyostylium, and seem in some ways morphologically intermediate.	en	Applequist, Wendy L. (2016): A reconsideration of the infrageneric classification of Homalium Jacq. (Salicaceae).

Notes. – Sleumer (1973) wrongly corrected the name of Homalium sect. Eumyriantheia to “ sect. Myriantheia ” and presumed it to have been based upon Thouars’ Myriantheia. The two were not nomenclatural synonyms, but because he explicitly treated them as such, he effectively designated the same type for both simultaneously. Homalium trigynum has some unusual features that are similar to features common in sect. Blackwellia, which also occurs in Madagascar (see discussion above); molecular data regarding its relationships would be of interest. A recent revision describes five new species in the section (Applequist, 2016).	en	Applequist, Wendy L. (2016): A reconsideration of the infrageneric classification of Homalium Jacq. (Salicaceae).

Inflorescences racemose (to spicate) or paniculate (usually short-branched); bracts usually small or narrow, bracteoles small, at least the bracts usually persistent past anthesis. Flowers pedicellate with pedicels articulated to subsessile or sessile; perianth 5 - 12 (- 13) - merous. Sepals ligulate to linear or narrowly elliptical (ovate to lanceolate, narrowly oblong; seldom much reduced), usually modestly accrescent; calyx tube turbinate to narrowly funnelform or tubular, at least in fruit (rarely funnelform in flower), usually prominently ridged; sepal glands usually small and round, rarely broad. Petals similar in size and shape to sepals or narrowly elliptical to spatulate or oblanceolate (narrowly obovate, oblong-ovate, narrowly deltoid) and markedly longer than sepals, ascending to partly spreading (seldom nearly erect or reflexed after anthesis), usually modestly accrescent; sepals and petals usually ciliate, usually with long and / or stiff trichomes. Stamens 2 - 10 (- 12) per petal, inserted between glands; anthers dorsifixed, broadly oblong-elliptical with oblong-elliptical locules and a large connective, the slits of dehiscence nearly parallel, or broader than long, usually very small, with subglobose locules diverging at a broad angle, slits of dehiscence often toward the apex. Upper surface of ovary conical in flower and fruit (in a few species, nearly flat and narrow, the ovary almost entirely inferior); styles 3 - 5 (- 7), free to near base. Locule of fruit much taller than broad, apex shaped like that of the ovary, pubescent at least in lower portion; seeds usually several per fruit, small, confined to apical portion of ovary.	en	Applequist, Wendy L.

Notes. – The original publication of Homalium sect. Polyanthera did not designate a type, and included two species, Homalium deplanchei and H. polyandrum Warb. Because H. polyandrum is now considered to be a junior synonym of H. mathieuanum (Sleumer, 1974; Lescot, 1980), H. deplanchei is preferred as type. Some species-level taxonomic problems exist in this group, perhaps especially in the Pacific island taxa most recently dealt with by St. John (1977). Whistler (2004) tentatively treats H. tongaense as a synonym of H. whitmeeanum (described from Samoa) and implies that H. taypau and H. mouo are likely to be synonymous with H. acuminatum and H. moto respectively.	en	Applequist, Wendy L.

203B87D1FF8EE16DFF79C919B740F8E9.taxon	description	Stipules axillary, free. Inflorescences spiciform to paniculate; bracts broad (sometimes rather short), bracts and bracteoles persistent. Flowers short-pedicellate, with pedicels articulated usually just below the receptacle, to subsessile or sessile; perianth (4 -) 5 (- 6) - merous. Sepals oblong, sometimes broadly or narrowly, to somewhat obovate, ovate, or elliptical (seldom to oblanceolate or lanceolate), moderately accrescent and usually curving over the fruit; calyx tube tubular with a narrowed base, often visibly ridged or grooved, to funnelform, in fruit tubular to turbinate or ellipsoid; sepal glands of moderate size, broadly elliptical to rounded (somewhat oblong or trapezoid). Petals oblanceolate to obovate, much longer than sepals, ascending (spreading), accrescent; sepals and petals ciliate, usually shortly, or not. Stamens 1 per petal, inserted between glands; anthers varying from broadly oblong-elliptical with oblong-elliptical locules, the slits of dehiscence nearly parallel, to small, broader than long with small subglobose locules, widely separated lateral slits towards apex (sometimes apparently or nearly basifixed with connective not prominent). Upper surface of ovary sometimes quite narrow, nearly flat to shallowly conical in flower, in fruit convex to conical (or little expanded in narrow-ovaried species); styles usually fused into a column (or connivent) for at least half of length (sometimes quite short), the branches 4 - 5. Locule of fruit narrowly cylindrical or ellipsoid (to narrowly obovoid), pubescent throughout; seeds 2 - 4 per fruit, small (possibly no mature seeds seen).	en	Applequist, Wendy L.

Notes. – The most recent treatment of Malagasy Homalium (Sleumer, 1973) recognized only three species in sect. Rhodonisa, with Homalium leucophloeum and H. baillonii synonymized under H. albiflorum var. leucophloeum (Tul.) Baill. ex H. Perrier. Preliminary study of the H. albiflorum complex (Applequist, unpubl. data) suggests that it encompasses several distinct species and that H. leucophloeum and H. baillonii should be resurrected for two of these.	en	Applequist, Wendy L.

203B87D1FF8EE16DFCC9C919B61EF993.taxon	description	Stipules axillary, free. Inflorescences racemose (to spicate) or paniculate; bracts generally small and caducous (rarely large or small but persistent), bracteoles usually very small (rarely broad), rapidly caducous. Flowers pedicellate, with pedicels usually short and articulate, to subsessile; perianth (4 -) 5 - 6 (- 8) - merous. Sepals small, narrowly deltoid to lanceolate, ovate, or subulate, acute, very little to moderately accrescent; calyx tube funnelform, in fruit cup-shaped; sepal glands elliptical (to irregularly oblong-elliptical, sometimes shallowly bilobed, or nearly orbicular). Petals oblanceolate to obovate, usually much larger than sepals, ascending to spreading, at least moderately accrescent; sepals and petals not ciliate or ciliolate in conjunction with similar overall surface pubescence. Stamens 1 per petal, inserted between glands; anthers dorsifixed, broadly oblong-elliptical (sometimes quite small) with oblong-elliptical locules and a large connective, the slits of dehiscence nearly parallel. Upper surface of ovary nearly flat to modestly conical or convex, especially in fruit; styles fused into a column for usually more than half of length (in H. stipulaceum free to near base and short), the branches 3 - 5 (abnormally to 6 in H. stipulaceum). Locule of fruit broadly ellipsoid (to somewhat rhomboid in longitudinal section), sparsely to moderately pubescent; immature seeds usually 10 or more per fruit, small (3 - 4 - seeded or occasionally 1 seed largely filling locule; it is not clear whether all seeds in many-seeded fruits may mature).	en	Applequist, Wendy L.
