Abstract:

A reclassification of the Leucodontaceae recognizes four subfamilies and three tribes: Alsioideae (Fleisch.) Broth. emend. Manuel; Felipponoideae Manuel, subfam. nov.; Forsstroemioideae Manuel, subfam. nov.; Leucodontoideae, Dozyeae Manuel, tribus. nov., Leucodonteae, and Pterogonieae Fleisch. emend. Manuel. A key to the subfamilies and tribes is presented. Alsia Sull. and Dendroalsia Britt., two monotypic genera endemic to western North America which constitute the subfamily Alsioideae, are reviewed. Descriptions, illustrations, distribution maps, and a key to the genera are presented in addition to notes on phytogeography and nomenclature. Alsia californica var. flagellifera Ren. & Card. is reduced to the synonymy of A. californica (Hook. & Arnott) Sull. Alsia macounii Kindb. ex Broth., Dendroalsia donna Britt. ex Fleisch., and Leptodontis Sull. ex Broth. are nomina nuda. Lectotypes for Neckera californica Hook. & Arnott and Neckera abietina Hook. are designated. Dendroalsia abietina (Hook. & Arnott) Britt. is reported new to Alaska and tentatively to Colorado.
