A revision of generic boundaries and nomenclature in the North American cleomoid clade (Cleomaceae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The family Cleomaceae is in need of taxonomic revision, which begins here with a set of taxa informally recognized as the North American cleomoid clade. This group is evaluated first because molecular-based analyses almost comprehensively sample this lineage. These investigations revealed that the two largest genera, Cleomella and Peritoma, are para- or polyphyletic. Strong support from molecular data necessitates name changes for these taxa. Furthermore, controversy exists on the recognition of the remaining genera, owing to morphological variation and specialization. Three possible classification scenarios are described to accommodate monophyletic lineages based on previously-published evidence. The option to create the single large genus Cleomella is proposed, and as a result one new name, Cleomella oxystyloides, is provided, and 12 new combinations are made: C. arborea, C. arborea var. angustata, C. arborea var. globosa, C. californica, C. jonesii, C. lutea, C. multicaulis, C. palmeri, C. platycarpa, C. refracta, C. serrulata, and C. sparsifolia. Two lectotypes and one isolectotype are designated, and another lectotype is confirmed.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
