Abstract

The Loganiaceae is a pantropical angiosperm family in the order Gentianales consisting of 16 genera and approximately 460 species, distributed in all tropical areas of the world, as well as reaching some subtropical areas. The plants in this family are highly variable in their vegetative habit, from ephemeral annual herbs to large trees. This worldwide treatment includes detailed information on vegetative and reproductive morphology, flower and wood anatomy, embryology and cytology, infrafamilial classification and phylogenetic relationships, and ethnobotanical uses and conservation for all genera. Keys to the tribes and genera are provided, and the morphology and distribution of each genus is described. The accepted genera in the current circumscription are, listed by tribe: Antonieae: Antonia, Bonyunia, Norrisia, Usteria; Loganieae: Adelphacme, Geniostoma, Logania, Mitrasacme, Mitreola, Orianthera, Phyllangium, Schizacme; Spigelieae: Spigelia; Strychneae: Neuburgia, Gardneria, Strychnos.

Dr. Motley was the J. Robert Stiffler Distinguished Professor of Botany at Old Dominion University and Director of Science at the Norfolk Botanical Garden in Norfolk, Virginia, USA, when he suddenly passed away on March 23, 2013. LS had been working with Tim on this treatment for several years and it was in its final stages. Since then, new research findings from 2012–2015 have been added from Loganieae research by new co-authors BC and KG. We miss you!
