This is one of the most problematic genera in terms of nomenclature due to most species being very similar and extremely polymorphic. For this region more than 30 different species and subspecies and nearly one hundred varieties have been described. Many of these apparently separate taxa are actually sometimes only one taxon, described under different names by different authors or by the same author with insufficient specimens. The clear differentiation in the field between <em>T. pauciovulata, T. trabutii<\/em> and <em>T. balansae <\/em>has been impossible, because in all the examined trees characteristics from the three species were observed, and they actually appear to be one species and with a different name: <strong>T. amplexicaulis<\/strong>. The monograph on the genus by Baum (1978), already used for the <em>Flora of Libya, Flore de Mauritanie, Catalogue des plantes vasculaires de la Mauritanie et du Sahara occidental<\/em> and <em>Flora Iberica<\/em>, constitutes a good basis for a thorough review of the genus in the region.<\/p>\n<p>One of the differentiators characters of <em>Tamarix<\/em> species is the staminal disk, which according to its shape it can be separated into 3 types.<em> Synlophic<\/em>, with the disk deeply divided into lobes, from which the stamens are born, as an extension that only just allows to discern where one stamen ends and another one starts; the stamens appear widened at the base on what really is the apex of the lobe. <em>Paralophic<\/em>, with the disk divided into lobes; from the truncated apex of these lobes the stamens are clearly born. <em>Hololophic<\/em>, with the disk divided into lobes, stamens are not born on the lobe apexes but they are born between the lobes.<\/p>\n<p>However, an excess of confidence in the stability of the disk\u2019s morphology has led to some of the most important confusions within the genus. The best option seems to be to describe the insertion and to differentiate only between those that have the filaments on the lobes and those that have the filaments in between the lobes. The distinction between synlophic and paralophic often depends on the \u201cinspiration\u201d of the person identifying the specimen. Also, this trait is variable in the majority of the species. Some disks are hard to assign to either the synlophic or the paralophic types, since they do not have lobes. This is especially problematic for the group comprising <em>T. nilotica, T. mannifera, T. arborea, T. arabica<\/em>, etc., that Zohary grouped under <em>T. nilotica.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-11666","genus","type-genus","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tamarix L. - North Africa Trees<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tamarix L. - North Africa Trees\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Genus comprised of about 15 species in North Africa, widely distributed throughout the region.
