  1. Abstract—Goniopteris×tico, a new hybrid fern from La Selva Biological Station in Heredia Province, Costa Rica, is described based on morphology and analysis of target-capture DNA sequence data. The hybrid co-occurs with its two putative progenitors,Goniopteris mollisandGoniopteris nicaraguensis,and is readily recognizable by its intermediate leaf dissection and venation. It is also intermediate in pinnae size and shape, and presents irregularly lobed pinnae. Despite the broad overlap in the geographic distribution of its parental taxa,Goniopteris×ticois only known from two collections from a single area of the La Selva Biological Station, highlighting the importance of close observation of ferns from even well-collected areas.

  2. The genusDendrophorbiumoccurs in South America with one species known from the Caribbean. Despite recent advances in taxonomy and phylogeny, there is a still lack of molecular studies on the delimitation and identification of the genus.Dendrophorbiumis known to occupy a wide range of ecosystems mostly restricted to subtropical montane forests and montane scrub vegetation of the central Andes. In this study, a review of the species occurring in Peru is presented, in addition to material examined at different herbaria. The new combinationD. ligulatumwhich is separated fromD. yalusay, and the new species,D. arachnoideumis described from the department of Huánuco in central Peru. The species are assessed using the standards of the IUCN and additional notes are given.

  3. Microporous spirosilabifluorene networks were synthesized via Yamamoto coupling of tetrabromospirosilabifluorene precursors. They exhibit bright fluorescence that is quenched in the presence of nitroaromatics. The C/Si switch has subtle effects on the optical properties of the spirobifluorene network and provides a convenient route to 3,3′,6,6′-coupled and other polybifluorenes.
