TL;DR: Floral, fruit, leaf anatomical, leaf venation, and pollen characters of the neotropical taxa previously united as Savia including Gonatogyne are discussed and illustrated and Keys to the three genera and to the species of Heterosavia are presented.
Abstract: Heterosavia (Phyllanthaceae) is segregated from Savia (tribe Bridelieae), recognized at generic rank, and placed in tribe Phyllantheae Floral, fruit, leaf anatomical, leaf venation, and pollen characters of the neotropical taxa previously united as Savia including Gonatogyne are discussed and illustrated Keys to the three genera and to the species of Heterosavia are presented Four species (all new combinations), Heterosavia bahamensis, H erythroxyloides, H laurifolia, and H maculata, are recognized The new combinations Heterosavia laurifolia var intermedia and H maculata var clementis are proposed The names Heterosavia, H erythroxyloides, H laurifolia, Savia clementis, S clusiifolia, S clusiifolia var fallax, and S longipes are lectotypified Distribution maps and conservation assessments (IUCN ratings) of Heterosavia species and varieties are provided

TL;DR: Two new species from Gabon in the Bridelieae (Phyllanthaceae, formerly Euphorbiaceae) with keys for Gabonese species within genera Bridelia and Cleistanthus are described and an assessment of their conservation status is provided.
Abstract: Novitates Gabonenses 78. Two new species from Gabon in the Bridelieae (Phyllanthaceae, formerly Euphorbiaceae) with keys for Gabonese species within genera Bridelia and Cleistanthus. In the framework of the taxonomic treatment of the Phyllanthaceae for the Flore du Gabon, two new species of Bridelieae are described, one in the genus Bridelia, the other in the genus Cleistanthus. The new species are illustrated, their distribution maps are provided, and their taxonomic position within their respective genera is discussed. An assessment of their conservation status is provided. Identification keys for the Gabonese species of Bridelia and Cleistanthus are added.

TL;DR: Bridelia fordii, originally described from China in 1894, is concluded that the former is easily distinguishable from the latter and the former should be accepted as an independent species.
Abstract: Bridelia fordii, originally described from China in 1894, often treated as a synonym of B. retusa. Upon examinating the types and other related specimens, we conclude that the former is easily distinguishable from the latter and the former should be accepted as an independent species. Our previous molecular evidence also supports this conclusion. We further designate the lectotype of B. fordii in this study.
