Plant No. 456 is an entity recorded in archival collections and specimen catalogues as a distinct botanical taxon. It appears in field reports, herbarium inventories, and expedition logs and has been cited in floras, monographs, and conservation assessments. The taxon has been associated with comparative studies alongside taxa described by early collectors and modern taxonomists.
Specimens attributed to the taxon were compared with material associated with Carl Linnaeus, Joseph Dalton Hooker, Augustin Pyramus de Candolle, George Bentham, and Alphonse de Candolle in herbaria such as Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Smithsonian Institution, New York Botanical Garden, and Natural History Museum, London; diagnostic keys referenced works by Arthur Cronquist, Raimondia, and revisions published in journals like Taxon, Kew Bulletin, Annals of Botany, Journal of Systematics and Evolution, and American Journal of Botany. Molecular phylogenetic placement has been discussed using sequences compared to those in databases curated by GenBank, Barcode of Life Data System, Global Biodiversity Information Facility, and analyses referencing methods from Emmanuel M. Halevy and studies in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Nomenclatural decisions have followed principles articulated at the International Botanical Congress and guidelines by the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants.
Morphological descriptions reference comparative characters used by authors including Charles Darwin in comparative morphology and by Ernst Haeckel in form studies; traits were illustrated in plates similar to those by Pierre-Joseph Redouté and imaged in digitization projects at Kew and Harvard University Herbaria. Vegetative morphology was detailed against standards used in floras such as Flora Europaea, Flora of China, Flora of North America, Flora Mesoamericana, and regional treatments like Flora of Australia and Flora Neotropica. Reproductive structures were scored following terminology from A. J. Eames and Arthur Cronquist and compared with descriptions in monographs by Peter H. Raven, Paul A. Fryxell, and G. L. Stebbins. Micromorphology studies used microscopy methods developed at institutions like Max Planck Society and Royal Society laboratories.
Geographic records derive from expeditions associated with explorers and collectors such as Alexander von Humboldt, Joseph Banks, David Douglas, Alfred Russel Wallace, Ernest Henry Wilson, and surveys undertaken by teams from Kew Gardens, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Missouri Botanical Garden, and national parks like Yellowstone National Park, Kruger National Park, Banff National Park, and Serengeti National Park. Occurrence maps incorporated occurrence data from GBIF and country checklists used by agencies including United States Forest Service, Environment Canada, Australian Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment, and regional herbaria such as National Herbarium of New South Wales and Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle. Elevational and edaphic associations were compared to habitats described in inventories for Amazon Rainforest, Congo Basin, Himalayas, Andes, and Mediterranean Basin.
Ecological interactions were framed relative to pollination syndromes documented by researchers such as Charles Darwin, E. B. Ford, and J. L. G. Prideaux, and mutualisms described in studies by Paul R. Ehrlich and Peter H. Raven. Phenology and life history parameters were compared with records from long-term studies at stations like Kew Gardens, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, and universities including Harvard University, University of Cambridge, Stanford University, University of Oxford, University of California, Berkeley, and University of São Paulo. Trophic relationships and herbivory references included works by D. H. Janzen and Thomas Eisner. Seed dispersal and dormancy mechanisms were evaluated in the context of literature represented in Journal of Ecology, Oecologia, and Ecology Letters.
Ethnobotanical uses were noted in surveys comparable to those compiled by Richard Evans Schultes, Mark J. Plotkin, and reported in regional compendia such as Economic Botany, Plants of the World Online, and national inventories by ministries like Ministry of Environment (Costa Rica), Department of Agriculture (Australia), and USDA Forest Service. Cultural references and traditional knowledge were contextualized with studies by Claude Lévi-Strauss, Victor Turner, and recorded in museum collections at institutions such as British Museum, Smithsonian Institution, and Royal Ontario Museum. Pharmacological and biochemical assays have been cited in literature from Journal of Ethnopharmacology, Phytochemistry, and clinical reviews appearing in The Lancet.
Conservation assessments have been prepared aligning with criteria from the International Union for Conservation of Nature, documented alongside regional red lists like those of IUCN Red List, European Red List, China Plant Red Data Book, and national conservation agencies including United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Environment and Climate Change Canada, and Australian Department of the Environment. Threat analyses referenced habitat change reported by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, land-use studies by Food and Agriculture Organization, and impact assessments associated with infrastructure projects discussed in reports by World Bank and United Nations Environment Programme. Management recommendations paralleled guidelines from Convention on Biological Diversity, Ramsar Convention, CITES, and protected-area design principles used in IUCN Protected Area Categories.
