Taxonomie : "Remaining South American species included in the present study form a weakly supported clade, which comprises several specimens of
G. urens and in addition
G. camporum and
G. microstachyum. The species boundaries appear unclear from our results, and nomenclatural treatments have differed in the past.
Gnetum microstachyum has often been considered synonymous with
G. paniculatum Spruce ex Benth. (Markgraf, 1929, 1965; Stevenson & Zanoni, 1991; Stevenson, 1999).
Gnetum urens var.
camporum, described by Markgraf (1971), was later ranked as a separate species,
G. camporum (Stevenson & Zanoni, 1991; Stevenson, 1999). From our results it rather appears as if both
G. microstachyum and
G. camporum should be considered synonymous with
G. urens. Additional study of a larger sample of specimens is needed to further elucidate species boundaries in the South American clade." (Hou
