TL;DR: One significant finding of this study is that P. asiatica has pyrenes with preformed germination slits (PGSs), the absence of which has been used by some workers to separate Psychotria from other members of the tribe Psychotrieae.
TL;DR: The genus Annesorhiza is revised and twelve species are recognized, of which two are newly described: A.Lateriflora, a species hitherto poorly known as Peucedanum lateriflorum and A. thunbergii, which is only known from the type specimen.
Abstract: The genus Annesorhiza is revised and twelve species are recognized, of which two are newly described: A. altiscapa, A. burttii, A. flbrosa, A. flagellifolia, A. grandiflora, A. lateriflora, A. latifolia, A. macrocarpa, A. nuda, A. schlechteri, A. thunbergii and A. wilmsii. A. marlothii is reduced to synonymy under A. lateriflora, a species hitherto poorly known as Peucedanum lateriflorum. A. thunbergii is only known from the type specimen. A. elata, A. hirsuta and A. villosa are sunk under A. grandiflora. A. fuicaulis has recently been excluded from Annesorhiza on the basis of fruit structure. A key to the species is provided, an update on the nomenclature, typification of names and distribution maps are provided for all the species.
TL;DR: After a close examination of the historical aspects of the typification of Sesleria caerulea, the correct names of the two allied species of the group are established and the types of the names S. albicans and S. uliginosa are designated.
Abstract: After a close examination of the historical aspects of the typification of Sesleria caerulea, the correct names of the two allied species of the group are established as being S. caerulea (L.) Ard. and S. uliginosa Opiz. This permits unambiguous lectotypification of Sesleria. In addition, the types of the names S. albicans and S. uliginosa are designated.
TL;DR: During the preparation of a treatment of the Rubiaceae for the Guide to the Vascular Plants of Central French Guiana, several field and laboratory observations have contributed toward a better understanding of the morphological variation of certain species of Psychotria and have stimulated a reevaluation of some morphological features used by previous authors in distinguishing taxa in thePsychotria.

Typification for all taxa is provided, several new synonyms and one new combination,Psychotria carapichea (Poir.) Delprete, are proposed, and illustrations ofP. ligularis andP. carapichea are included.
TL;DR: In preparing a revision of the genera Lantana L. and Lippia L. in Brazil, 19 species names and 1 varietal name were found to require typification and these are typified in the present paper by lectotypes and three by neotypes.
Abstract: In preparing a revision of the genera Lantana L. and Lippia L. in Brazil, 19 species names and 1 varietal name were found to require typification. These are typified in the present paper, 17 by lectotypes and three by neotypes.
TL;DR: Lectotypes, neotypes or epitypes are designated for nine names of taxa described by Linnaeus in Citharexylum, Lantana, and Verbena, and currently placed in the family Verbenaceae s.s., that are found in the Greater Antilles.

TL;DR: The formal typification of Morella cerifera (L.) Small (Myrica Cerifera L.) was established with a lectotype and an epitype selected after the study ofprotologue's elemens.
Abstract: The formal typification of Morella cerifera (L.) Small (Myrica cerifera L.) was established. A lectotype and an epitype werw selected after the study ofprotologue's elemens.
TL;DR: As a result of detailed consideration of numerous specimens in many herbaria, appropriate material for neotypification has been identified and both specimens are at Copenhagen.
Abstract: No specimen of either of two Vahl (1802) taxa, Fucus cupressoides and F. taxifolia, that could represent the holotypes of these names was indicated unambiguously in the protologues. Almost 200 years later, due largely to the lack of critical labelling of original herbarium specimens, it has not been possible to distinguish conclusively any original material of the two taxa. As a result of detailed consideration of numerous specimens in many herbaria, appropriate material for neotypification has been identified: both specimens are at Copenhagen (C), Type No. A-826 (C 31688) for C. cupressoides and Type No. A1086 (C 27833) for C. taxifolia.
TL;DR: A key to Rubus of the Macaronesian region (five native species, one hybrid, one neophyte) is provided.
Abstract: The taxonomy and nomenclature of the Rubus species (sub)endemic to Madeira and the Azores are treated Only three species names have to be retained: R bollei Focke (synonyms: R canariensis Focke, R concolor Lowe, R suspiciosus Menezes, R vahlii Frid), R hochstetterorum Seub, and R serrae Soldano (R grandifolius Lowe) The last two species are described and illustrated Three names are lectotypified A key to Rubus of the Macaronesian region (five native species, one hybrid, one neophyte) is provided
TL;DR: As a consequence of recent disagreement on the choice of the type of Cuphea, a detailed account of the reasons for selecting C. decandra Ait.
Abstract: As a consequence of recent disagreement on the choice of the type of Cuphea, a detailed account of the reasons for selecting C. decandra Ait. over C. viscosissima Jacq. is given. The original description of Cuphea P. Browne included inflorescence, floral, seed, and trichome characters and distribution information that apply most closely to C. decandra, which is defended as the correct type under Art. 10.2 of the Code. It is also confirmed that the illustration in the protologue of C. viscosissima, chosen by Molero & Zijlstra as lectotype of that name, supersedes the earlier designated neotype.

TL;DR: A thorough investigation of relevant nomenclatural types and descriptions reveals that the name Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench, which was lectotypified by McGregor in 1968, has been consistently misapplied since 1903 to ataxon distinctly different from that of its modern lectotype and of the original Linnaean concept.
Abstract: A thorough investigation of relevant nomenclatural types and descriptions reveals that the name Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench, which was lectotypified by McGregor in 1968, has been consistently misapplied since 1903 to ataxon distinctly different from that of its modern lectotype and of the original Linnaean concept. Linnaeus's original concept of Rudbeckia purpurea, maintained by Candolle as Echinacea purpurea when he segregated E. serotina (Nutt.) DC., is the species now known as E. laevigata (C. L. Boynton & Beadle) S. F. Blake. Technically, therefore, the correct name for the species currently called E. laevigata is E. purpurea (L.) Moench, and the correct name for the species currently called E. purpurea is E. serotina (Nutt.) DC., for which a lectotype is designated. Conservation of the name E. purpurea in the sense of its current application, which also preserves the usage ofE. laevigata, is proposed in a separate article (see Binns & al., p. 1199, this issue).

TL;DR: During preparation of a monograph of the genus Isolepis R. fluitans (L.) R. and S. setaceus L. Br.
Abstract: During preparation of a monograph of the genus Isolepis R. Br. (Muasya & Simpson, in press) we became aware of two species described in Scirpus by Linnaeus (1753) which had not been lectotypified. Scirpus fluitans L. and S. setaceus L. are fairly common and widespread, occurring in temperate to tropical regions of the Old World. Both taxa were transferred to Isolepis by Robert Brown (1810), although the Linnaean binomials continued in use for many years. Over the past 35 years, a narrow circumscription of the genus Scirpus has become widely accepted, with several segregate genera including Isolepis (Wilson 1989, Muasya et al. 2000). Thus in the forthcoming monograph, the taxa will be referred to I. fluitans (L.) R. Br. and I. setacea (L.) R. Br. Appropriate types for the taxa are selected below.
TL;DR: During this research on the genus Veronica L. in the Mediterranean region, it was necessary to consider the typification of some names which had not been previously typified in order to fix their usage.
Abstract: During our research on the genus Veronica L. in the Mediterranean region, it was necessary to consider the typification of some names which had not been previously typified in order to fix their usage. In all cases where types are designated the first name given is the one being typified and the current name of the taxon is shown in bold. Where the current name is based on a different type, this name is placed in brackets.
TL;DR: Data from hybridization experiments and studies of natural distribution suggest that Clematis campaniflora Brotero is better treated as a subspecies, i.e. as C. viticella subsp.
