Solanum is one of the largest flowering-angiosperm genera with 1500 species approximately. Five clados are recognized in Solanum, Leptostemonum is the largest group with 350-450 species distributed in the Old and Neotropic world. In the Neotropic 200 species are recognized. This study is an initial base for posterior studies of taxonomic and evolution diversity of Leptostemonum. The checklist of the names presented here is the result of the study of herbaria COL, COAH, FMB, HUA, JAUM, UPTC, INPA and MG collections and the revision of data bases as International Plant Name Index, Solanaceae Source, The New York virtual Herbarium and Tropicos. There were found 54 valid and effective-published names, 12 of these names associated to 14 synonyms in Colombia.
Abstract (es):
Solanum es uno de los géneros mas grandes de angiospermas con flores con cerca de 1500 especies. En Solanum se reconocen cinco clados, siendo Leptostemonum el mas grande, con 350-450 especies, distribuidas en el Viejo mundo y en el Neotrópico. Para el Neotrópico se reconocen cerca de 200 especies. El trabajo que se presenta aquí es un punto de partida para abordar posteriormente estudios sobre la diversidad taxonómica y evolutiva de Leptostemonum. El listado de nombres obtenido es el resultado del estudio de las colecciones depositados en los herbarios de COL, COAH, FMB, HUA, INPA, JAUM, UPTC y MG, y la consulta de bases de datos, International plant name index, Solanaceae source, The New York Virtual Herbarium y Tropicos. Se encontraron 54 nombres válidamente y efectivamente publicados, 12 de esos nombres asociados a 14 sinónimos.
