NOTES. — Gahagen, Terbush & Ballard (2016) resurrected several names previously considered synonyms of T. weddelliana , and segregated 5 new species from what they called the “ T. weddelliana species complex”. Their study relied on “quantitative” analyses of morphological characters, based on two to 11 herbarium specimens per species. In our opinion, the number of studied specimens is too low to capture the natural variability of the morphological characters (e.g. twig diameter, pedicel length or leaf blade size). Moreover, the results of their statistical analyses are unconvincing and do not clearly distinguish their 11 so-called species, whose morphological differences could simply reflect the plasticity of a single species found from the Pacific coast to the Tepuis of the Guyana and slopes of the Andes, from 0 to 1300 m altitude. Subsequently, Marinho et al. (2019) segregated the “ T. weddelliana complex” in a new genus, Arawakia , on the basis of plastid and nuclear ITS genome analyses of 30 species out of the c. 500 that form the tribe Clusieae . However, their splitting of Tovomita into two main groups (one being Arawakia ) appears much less supported (85-86 bootstrap values and 0.51- 0.66 posterior probabilities) than the monophyly of other genera (99-100 bootstrap/0.85-1 pp). Further, two of the five diagnostic characters thatMarinho et al. (2019) claim to distinguish Arawakia from Tovomita do not hold: - white latex, said to be characteristic of Arawakia (vs yellow in Tovomita ), has been observed by the first two authors of the present publication in T. umbellata (J.-F. Molino 731 and J.-F. Molino 936, CAY), T. schomburgkii (D. Sabatier & M.-F. Prévost 1345, D. Sabatier & M.-F. Prévost 3354 and D. Sabatier & J.-F. Molino 4679, CAY) and T. caloneura (D. Sabatier & M.-F. Prévost 1363, CAY); - the sepals, said to be always persistant and adpressed on fruit in Arawakia (vs not adpressed in Tovomita ) are actually not adpressed on fruits of the types of A. lingulata , A. macrocarpa and A. rileyi . The remaining characters Marinho et al. (2019) present do not warrant the creation of a new genus: two are purely vegetative (leaf shape and colour of the interpetiolar line, black in Arawakia vs not black in Tovomita ), and the third is epicarp colour (red in Arawakia vs green to brown in Tovomita ).
