Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Houstonia (Rubiaceae) is a strictly North American genus of 24 species distributed from Mexico, throughout the United States, up to Canada. Houstonia has proven to be a taxonomically difficult genus since the Linnaean description of Houstonia and the related genera: Hedyotis and Oldenlandia in 1753. For over 250 years botanists have lumped and separated Houstonia from Hedyotis and Oldenlandia based on various morphological characters. The most recent circumscription of Houstonia (Terrell 1996) separated the genus into two subgenera with each subgenus containing two sections. Nuclear (ITS) and plastid (trnL-F, rps16) DNA sequences were used to build a molecular phylogeny depicting relationships within Houstonia and among the closely related genera Stenaria and Stenotis, all of which used to be considered Hedyotis. Separate and combined datasets show Stenaria is nested within the Houstonia lineage and therefore Houstonia, as currently circumscribed, is not a monophyletic lineage. These results disagree with the use of crateriform seeds to distinguish Houstonia (crateriform seeds) from Stenaria (non-crateriform seeds). It appears the most useful characters to define this group are the loss of chromosomes through the major clades as the Houstonia-Stenaria lineage radiated north and east in North America. Descending aneuploidy has been accompanied by slight modifications of the pollen aperture types from a simple endoaperture in Stenotis referred to as colporate type A with modifications in Houstonia-Stenaria resulting in compound aperture types referred to as colporate type B and colpororate.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
