@article{Teillier_Peña_Macaya-Berti_2021, title={Polygonum (Polygonaceae) in Chile}, volume={78}, url={https://gayanabotanica.cl/index.php/gb/article/view/353}, abstractNote={<p><em>Polygonum </em>L. s.l. (Polygonaceae) included about 200 herbaceous or scrubby species, distributed in all temperate and warm regions of the world. Since the genus in Chile has not been reviewed since Claudio Gay’s flora, the genus has been reviewed in the framework of the “New Flora of Chile” project. As a result of the taxonomic revision we establish that <em>Polygonum </em>in Chile is represented by eleven species; two possibly endemic, <em>P. bowenkampii </em>Phil. and <em>P. delfinii </em>Phil.; two native, <em>P. hydropiperoides </em>Michx. and <em>P. maritimum </em>L.; and seven alien, <em>P. acuminatum </em>Kunth., <em>P. aviculare </em>L., <em>P. campanulatum </em>Hook. f., <em>P. hydropiper </em>L., <em>P. lapathifolium </em>L., <em>P. orientale </em>L. and <em>P. persicaria </em>L. The following lectotypes are here designated: <em>Polygonum araucanum </em>Phil., <em>Polygonum caballeroi </em>Phil., <em>Polygonum glareosum </em>Phil., <em>Polygonum sanguinaria, </em>J. Remy, <em>Polygonum valdivianum </em>Phil., and <em>Polygonum virgatum </em>Cham. & Schltdl.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Gayana Botanica}, author={Teillier, Sebastián and Peña, Raúl and Macaya-Berti, Jorge}, year={2021}, month={Jun.}, pages={1–18} }
