TL;DR: A list is presented in which the current position of all species hitherto assigned to Henckelia is given, including the new combination HenCkelia rotundata (Barnett) D.J.Middleton & Mich.Moller.
Abstract: Following recent molecular phylogenetic studies in Old World Gesneriaceae the nomenclatural implications for names in Henckelia are examined. New combinations are made in Codonoboea and Loxocarpus to account for species now excluded from Henckelia. A list is presented in which the current position of all species hitherto assigned to Henckelia is given, including the new combination Henckelia rotundata (Barnett) D.J.Middleton & Mich.Moller. A new combination in Oreocharis is made.
TL;DR: Five species are reinstated in Codonoboea Ridl.
Abstract: Five species are reinstated in Codonoboea Ridl. and new combinations are made for 74 species that occur in Peninsular Malaysia that were formerly included in Henckelia Spreng. Codonoboea albina (Ridl.) Kiew is reinstated at specific rank and var. winkleri (Ridl.) Kiew as a variety of C. malayana (Ridl.) Kiew. Lectotypes are designated where appropriate.
TL;DR: While the sections of Codonoboea can no longer be maintained as formal taxonomic taxa, as informal groupings they are useful in identification and in constructing keys.
Abstract: Codonoboea is the largest genus of Gesneriaceae in Peninsular Malaysia with 92 species. Nine sections, Boeopsis, Codonoboea, Didymanthus, Glossadenia, Heteroboea, Pectinati, Reptantes, Salicini and Venusti, have been erected based on morphological characters, such as habit, leaf arrangement and shape, type of inflorescence, number of flowers, corolla type and nectary type. Recent molecular phylogenetic study using ITS and trnL-F sequences show that only section Heteroboea is monophyletic. While the sections of Codonoboea can no longer be maintained as formal taxonomic taxa, as informal groupings they are useful in identification and in constructing keys.
TL;DR: Two new Codonoboea species, C. kenaboiensis Syahida-Emiza, Y.Y.Sam & Siti-Munirah and C. ruthiae Syhida- Emiza, were discovered from the Kenaboi State Park, Peninsular Malaysia.
Abstract: Two new Codonoboea species, C. kenaboiensis Syahida-Emiza, Y.Y.Sam & Siti-Munirah and C. ruthiae Syahida-Emiza, Y.Y. Sam & Siti-Munirah were discovered from the Kenaboi State Park, Peninsular Malaysia. Descriptions, illustrations, colour plates and provisional conservation status are provided.
Abstract: Codonoboea personatiflora Kiew & Y.Y.Sam, sp. nov., is described from lowland forest in the foothills in Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia. It is unique in the genus in its personate flower. Its conservation status falls within the IUCN Endangered category.
