Abstract

A monograph of Castelnavia is presented. Phylogenetic analyses of morphological characters reveal eight non-homoplasious synapomorphies supporting the monophyly of the genus: absence of roots, ovary surrounded by stem tissue during and after anthesis, ovary horizontal at anthesis, unilocular mature ovary, asymmetrically inflated pedicel apex, anisolobous ovary, ovary longitudinal axis at 45-90? angle relative to pedicel axis, and one deciduous capsule valve. Five species and two forms are recognized: Castelnavia fluitans, C. monandra, C. multipartita (C. m. forma multipartita, C. m. forma pendulosa C.T. Philbrick & C.P. Bove), C. noveloi, and C. princeps. Four species accepted by earlier authors are placed in synonymy. The morphology and ecology of the genus is discussed, and species descriptions, illustrations, a distribution map, lists of specimens examined, and a key to species are presented. Castelnavia occurs primarily in Brazil with one species in Bolivia. Greatest species diversity is in the Brazilian states of Mato Grosso, Par? and Tocantins.
