Abstract: Linnaean names appearing in Volume 1 of Flora Nordica are typified The main sources for types are the Linnaean Herbarium (LINN), the Clifford Herbarium (BM), the Burser Herbarium (UPS) the Iter lapponicum Herbarium in Paris (LAPP), and cited illustrations The study forms part of the “Linnaean Plant Name Typification Project” based at the Natural History Museum (BM) Flora Nordica notes no 10

Abstract: A new species of orchid, Drymoanthus flavus, is described and illustrated. It is a diploid species previously confused with its probable tetra-ploid derivative, D. adversus. Both orchids are endemic to New Zealand and broadly similar to D. minutus from Australia and D. minimus from New Caledonia. D. flavus occurs sparingly from the central North Island to Stewart Island but is relatively common in the south-eastern South Island. It was probably once more widespread, and may have been displaced from many areas by D. adversus. Alternatively, it may have more precise habitat requirements. It is considered to be a relict and local species in need of further survey and monitoring. The name D. adversus is lectotypified.

Abstract: Thirty spider wasp species of the genus Anoplius belonging to four subgenera are recorded from Japan (19 spp.), Far East Russia (12 spp.), and China (9 spp.). A. sachalinensis sp. nov. from Far East Russia and Hokkaido, A. saigusai sp. nov. from Far East Russia and Kyushu, and hitherto unknown male of A. iwatai Yasum. are described. A. aberrans Guss. is newly recorded from Japan; A. ryukyuensis Tsun., stat. nov., A. infuscatus (Vander Linden) and A. iwatai Yasum. are newly recorded from Far East Russia; A. ryukyuensis Tsun. is newly recorded from China. New synonymy in five species is given; lectotypes of four species are designated.

Abstract: VAZQUEZ, F. M., G. LOPEZ & J. A. DEVESA (1995). Typification of the linnaean taxa of Stipa (Gramineae) occurring in the Iberian Peninsula. Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 52(2): 179-186 (in Spanish). In this paper all the Linnaean taxa of Stipa occurring in the Iberian Peninsula are lectotypified and discussed. Stipa juncea L. is proposed as the correct name for S. celakovskyi MartinovskJ.

Abstract: Cardamine rivularis Schur is lectotypified by a specimen at Vienna (W) collected by Schur in Romania. C. matthioli Moretti is lectotypified (or neotypified) by a specimen at Florence (FI) collected by Moretti in Lombardy. The confusion concerning the latter's author and place of publication is resolved: bibliographical details and chronology of 5 publications in which the name appears, all of 1847, are discussed, showing that it was validly published on 18 Aug 1847 by Moretti.

Abstract: The genus Tragia L. is revised for Australia and comprises two species, T. novae-hollandiae Muell.Arg. from Queensland and New South Wales and T. urnhemica P.I. Forster sp. nov. from the Northern Territory. Both species are described and illustrated with notes on distribution, habitat, typification and conservation status.

Abstract: Five indigenous and two naturalised species of Geum are accepted for the New Zealand flora. The new combination G. cockaynei is made, and G. parviflorum, G. divergens, G. leiospermum, G. pusillum, and G. uniflorum are lectotypified. G. alpinum Buchanan nom. illeg. is shown to be based on a mixed collection of G. leiospermum and G. uniflorum. Southern solitary-flowered plants with short-beaked achenes are excluded from G. uniflorum; they form part of the New Zealand G. cockaynei complex. G. parviflorum s. str. is probably confined to South America; within New Zealand, plants previously known under that name comprise G. cockaynei and three other entities that require further taxonomic assessment.

Abstract: Peziza virella P. Karst. is shown to be conspecific with Amicodisca brdensis (Velen.) Svr. and a new combination, Amicodisca virella (P.Karst.) Huhtinen, is proposed. Peziza sordidula P.Karst. is placed in the genus Pseudohelotium Fuckel and is shown to offer an earlier name for Be/onium vernale Velen. The genus Aleuriella (P.Karst.) P.Karst. is considered as distinct from Mollisia (Fr.) P.Karst. Aleuriella personata (P.Karst.) P. Karst. may offer an earlier name for Mollisia psilopezizoides Svrcek. Peziza perforata P. Karst. is shown to be a synonym of Tarzetta catinus (Holmsk. : Fr.) Korf & Rogers. Typification for each of the treated taxa is clarified.

Abstract: In the treatment of Lobelioideae (Campanulaceae) for his Flora of the Hawaiian Islands, Hillebrand described 21 new species and 13 new varieties, and proposed 15 new combinations (all but one at specific rank) plus one avowed substitute name (also at specific rank). In addition, Wawra described two new species and one new variety on the basis of specimens received from Hillebrand, and Rock described two species and 13 varieties on the basis of specimens in Hillebrand's herbarium. Thirty-three lectotypes and two neotypes are designated for names that were inadequately typified. In each case, the typification effected supports current usage of the name in the literature.

Abstract: Carex perdentata, is described from Palo Pinto County, Texas. A key to the species of section Phaestoglocbin occurring in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas is included. Carex , section Phaestoglochin is here with lecto-typified with C. muricata. The South American section Bracteosae , often considered synonymous with section Phaestoglochin , is considered distinct.

Abstract: Summary Types of names of seven taxa described by Steudel in his Synopsis plantarum glumacearum from the Labrador collections of the Moravian missionary Albrecht were examined. Information com- piled from the specimen labels as well as biographic and bibliographic sources suggest this material was collected at Hopedale between 1846 and 1848. Samples of the handwriting of Albrecht, Steudel, and possibly Hohenacker are presented. Reinterpretation of the types is pro- vided and a lectotype of Calamagrostis hirtigluma is designated. Biographical information on C. G. Albrecht, as well as several poorly known Moravian missionaries, is presented.

Abstract: The typification of Omphalina umbellifera (L.: Fr.) Quel. has been a matter of discussion for some time. J0rgensen & Ryman (1989) gave a survey of the facts and concluded by typifying the name by the only element known to Linnaeus when he first described the species, Rudbeck's illustration. Redhead & Kuyper (1993) questioned that this illustration could be original material for the Linnaean fungus No. 471 in his Flora lapponica (Linnaeus, 1737: 354). We have not, as they believe, based our conclusion on the later annotations by Hartman, but on the fact that Linnaeus himself in the introduction to his book clearly stated that he studied Rudbeck's drawings and based the descriptions of many fungi on them. As Linnaeus obviously failed to preserve most of his own collections (see the introduction to Flora lapponica) and the description agrees with this drawing, there can be no doubt that it is original material. Steam (1957) discussed very thoroughly the typification problems of Linnaean names and his recommendations have been widely accepted and followed. His example of Tofieldia calyculata (L.) Wahlenb. is similar to the present one. Redhead and Kuyper's (1993) interpretation of the footnote to Art. 7.4 of the Berlin Code conflicts with that practice, and the wording has been changed in the Tokyo Code (now as a footnote to Art. 9.9) to clarify this point. J0rgensen & Ryman (1989) superseded the previous lectotypification by Redhead & Kuyper (1987) as being based on a misunderstanding, when they wrote: "Any typification of Agaricus umbelliferus L. by a basidiolichen which does not inhabit leaves is in serious conflict with the protologue." However, as we have shown, Linnaeus did not write that the species grew (was saprophytic) on leaves, but among leaves. The logical consequence of Redhead & Kuyper's argument is that any species growing on leaves is in serious conflict with the protologue, including the type chosen by them. Linnaean ecological data for fungi are very general in their majority (e.g. "in sylvis Lapponiae"), indicating that he paid little attention to this aspect for this group. The morphological descriptions are much more important. The primary diagnosis of A. umbelliferus (Linnaeus, 1753: 1175) states that the lamellae are broad at the base and the cap flattened, just as depicted in the illustration of Rudbeck, and clearly at variance with Mycena capillaris (Schum.: Fr.) Kumm. to which the element Redhead & Kuyper designated as type belongs.

Abstract: Notes that augment an earlier essay on R. S. Williams’ botanical activities and the distribution of his collections from Bolivia and Peru are presented. Twelve species based on Williams’ vascular plant collections are added to a catalog that was previously published. Synonymies of an additional 22 taxa are corrected or updated. Notes also are provided concerning the typification or orthography of two species.

Abstract: The generic delimitation of Liparia L. and Priestleya DC. (Fabaceae, tribe Liparieae) is reevaluated. Traditionally the shape and size of the carinal lobe of the calyx, the shape of the keel petals and the number of flowers per inflorescence were used as diagnostic characters. A study of morphological and alkaloid variation indicates that the two genera run much into one another. Differences in inflorescence and floral structure can be attributed to adaptations to different pollination strategies. The unique combination of major alkaloids occurring in both genera also suggests that they are congeneric. Priestleya is therefore placed into synonymy under Liparia. The nomenclature, synonymy and typification of the genus and the 14 species recognized are presented, and some necessary new combinations are made.
