Abstract
25. Acalypha lanceolata Willd. var. glandulosa (Müll.Arg.) Radcl.-Sm. Kew Bulletin 44 (3): 444 (Radcliffe-Smith 1989). — Acalypha crenata var. glandulosa Müll.Arg., Linnaea 34: 43 (Müller Argoviensis 1865). — Type: Tanzania. Zanzibar, 1847-1852, L. H. Boivin s.n. (lecto-, designated by Montero Muñoz et al. [2018a: 102]: P [P05511211]; isolecto-, P [P05510174, P05511212, P05511225]). ICONOGRAPHY. — Fig. 46E. ETYMOLOGY. — The specific epithet probably refers to the lanceolate shape of the leaf blades. The infraspecific epithet probably refers to the glandular trichomes present on the female bracts. DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT. — Acalypha lanceolata is widely distributed in the Paleotropics; var. glandulosa occurs in East Tropical Africa and South Tropical Africa. Probably introduced in Madagascar (Diana), Comoros Archipelago (Mayotte), and Mascarene Islands (La Réunion). In Madagascar in low altitude moist evergreen forest on sandstone; altitude c. 744 m. Collected in a garden in La Réunion; altitude c. 153 m (Fig. 43). PRELIMINARY CONSERVATION ASSESSMENT. — Acalypha lanceolata var. glandulosa is preliminarily assessed as Data Deficient (DD) because the material from continental Africa of this species needs to be revised, and therefore we cannot assess the conservation status of this species.

(2018a: 102). DESCRIPTION Annual herbs,to 0.5 m tall,monoecious. Branches puberulent with simple, short, curved, retrorse trichomes and glandular trichomes to 1 mm long, glabrescent when mature. Axillary buds naked, pubescent with simple, short trichomes. Stipules to 2 mm long, triangular-lanceolate, sparsely hairy with simple, short trichomes. Petioles (2.5-) 3-4.6 cm long, indumentum similar to that on young branches. Leaf blades 4.5-6(-6.5) × 2.5-3.7 cm, ovate to elliptic, membranous; base obtuse to acute; apex acute; margin serrate, teeth obtuse; upper and lower surfaces subglabrous, with some sparse, simple trichomes, mainly on veins; venation actinodromous, basal veins 3, secondary veins 3-5 per side. Stipels absent. Inflorescences spiciform, androgynous, axillary, to 2.5 cm long, mostly female with short male segment; peduncle to 2 mm long, puberulent with simple, short, curved, retrorse trichomes. Female segment densely flowered, to 2 cm long; bracts 12-15, sessile, enlarging in fruit to 2 × 4 mm, reniform, sparsely hairy with simple trichomes and glandular trichomes to 1 mm long; margin dentate, teeth 9-11, broadly triangular, central tooth not prominent; bracteoles absent. Male segment persistent, to 0.2 cm long; flowers glomerate; bracts to 0.5 mm long, oblong-lanceolate, ciliate with simple, erect trichomes to 0.5 mm long. Male flowers: pedicel to 0.5 mm long, glabrous; buds to 0.5 mm diameter, sparsely hairy. Female flowers 1 per bract, sessile; sepals 3, to 0.5 mm long, ovate, ciliate with simple trichomes to 0.5 mm long; ovary c. 1 mm diameter, 3-lobed, smooth, surface densely hispid; styles 3, to 2 mm long, slightly connate at base, glabrous, each divided into 2-3 segments. Allomorphic flowers not seen. Capsules to 3 mm diameter, smooth, sparsely hairy with simple trichomes to 0.5 mm long. Seeds c. 1.5 × 1 mm, pyriform, minutely foveolate. NOTE Acalypha lanceolata var. lanceolata occurs in Asia. The main difference between the African var. glandulosa and the Asian var. lanceolata is the presence or absence of stipitate glands. Additional studies are needed to clarify the taxonomic status of these entities.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
