TL;DR: A brief overview of the history and meaning of typification in interpretive sociology can be found in this article, with a discussion of the ubiquity and necessity of typified information in social life and scientific method.
Abstract: This paper examines Alfred Schutz’s insights on types and typification. Beginning with a brief overview of the history and meaning of typification in interpretive sociology, the paper further addresses both the ubiquity and the necessity of typification in social life and scientific method. Schutz’s contribution itself is lacking in empirical application and grounding, but examples are provided of ongoing empirical research which advances the understanding of types and typification. As is suggested by illustrations from scholarship in the social studies of social science, studies of social identity associated with membership categorization analysis, and constructionist social problems theory, typification can be found to be central to social research whether it is taken up as a largely unacknowledged resource or whether it is addressed by different names. The overview and illustrations suggest the continuing, widespread, and indeed foundational relevance of Schutz’s insights into types and typification.

TL;DR: The background to Friedrich Welwitsch’s seven year expedition to Angola and the subsequent fate of his herbarium of 10,000 collections are reviewed and approximately 1,000 species names based on his collections are typified.
Abstract: The background to Friedrich Welwitsch’s seven year expedition to Angola and the subsequent fate of his herbarium of 10,000 collections are reviewed. In typifying the approximately 1,000 species names based on his collections, it is important to know where the specimens were at the time of publication of the names. In most cases there are no holotypes, and lectotypifications have to be made. It has not been generally realised that Welwitsch lumped together under one number all the collections which he considered to be conspecific, which means that designation of isotypes is open to serious misinterpretation. Data added retroactively to labels by copying from Hiern’s Catalogue may be erroneous. The collection has now been distributed to at least 24 different herbaria.

TL;DR: Zamia amplifolia Hort.
Abstract: Zamia amplifolia Hort. W. Bull ex Mast., Z. roezlii Linden, and Z. wallisii A. Braun have been unnecessarily neotypified because original material exists at K or STO. Zamia oligodonta E. Calderon & D.W. Stev. is synonymized with Z. montana A. Braun. Zamia lindenii Regel ex Andre is considered specifically distinct from Z. poeppigiana Mart. & Eichler. The genus Chigua is synonymized with Zamia and the new combination Z. restrepoi (D.W. Stev.) A. Lindst. proposed, and C. bernalli D.W. Stev. is synonymized with Z. restrepoi.

TL;DR: Nomenclatural types for 26 names in the Boraginaceae genera Caccinia Savi, Cerinthe, Cynoglossum, Echium, Lithospermum, Myosotis, Omphalodes Mill.
Abstract: Nomenclatural types for 26 names in the Boraginaceae genera Caccinia Savi, Cerinthe L., Cynoglossum L., Echium L., Lithospermum L., Myosotis L., Omphalodes Mill. and Onosma L., validly published by Italian botanists from Domenico Viviani to Adriano Fiori, are newly designated. Most of these names apply to taxa of the Eurasiatic flora which are accepted in the modern taxonomic and floristic literature. The new combinations Buglossoides incrassata (Guss.) I.M. Johnst. subsp. splitgerberi (Guss.) E. Zippel & Selvi and Omphalodes rupestris Rupr. ex Boiss. subsp. lojkae (Sommier & Levier) Selvi are proposed, and the new species Myosotis graui Selvi, previously known under the misapplied name M. ambigens (Beg.) Grau, is described.

TL;DR: A review of the monotypic southern African endemic genus Curtisia Aiton is presented, with detailed studies of the fruit and seed structure providing new evidence in support of a close relationship between the family Curtisiaceae and Comaceae.
Abstract: A review of the monotypic southern African endemic genus Curtisia Aiton is presented. Detailed studies of the fruit and seed structure provided new evidence in support of a close relationship between the family Curtisiaceae and Comaceae. Comparisons with several other members of the Comales revealed carpological similarities to certain species of Comus s.I ., sometimes treated as segregate genera Dendrobenthamia Hutch, and Benthamidia Spach. We also provide information on the history of the assegai tree, Curtisia dentata (Burm.f.) C.A.Sm. and its uses, as well as a formal taxonomic revision, including nomenclature, typification, detailed description and geographical distribution.

TL;DR: A comprehensive taxonomic revision of the genus Notobubon (Apiaceae) is presented, resulting in a well-resolved phylogenetic hypothesis for woody evergreen species endemic to the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa.
Abstract: A comprehensive taxonomic revision of the genus Notobubon (Apiaceae) is presented. Twelve woody evergreen species are recognised, all (with the exception of N. laevigatum) endemic to the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa. The taxonomy of these prominent, though poorly collected, species has until now been problematic. They are distinguished from one another by their habit (size and branching pattern), the overall shape, size, and colour of the ultimate leaflet segments, the inflorescence structure (peduncle length, number, and length of rays in the primary umbel), the fruit morphology (fruit size, presence or absence of wings), and the fruit anatomy (symmetry of the mericarps, presence or absence of additional rib vittae, size of commissural vittae). Species relationships are assessed in the form of a cladistic analysis of 26 morphological characters, resulting in a well-resolved phylogenetic hypothesis. A comprehensive key to the species, their correct nomenclature, and typification, togethe...

Abstract: Fritillaria caussolensis Goaty & Pons, Fritillaria intermedia N. Terracc., Fritillaria montana Hoppe, Fritillaria neglecta Parl., Fritillaria orsiniana Parl., and Fritillaria pollinensis N. Terracc. are typified. Comments are given on the taxonomic status of these six taxa.
TL;DR: A nomenclatural account of all the published names with a recapitulatory list citing all the accepted names in subgenus Lacanthis as a first step towards the revision of the group.
Abstract: Malagasy relatives of the Crown-of-Th orns (Euphorbia milii Des Moul.) are well known worldwide for their ornamental value. Malagasy taxa account for almost 10% of the genus Euphorbia L., with 110 accepted names constituting subgenus Lacanthis (Raf.) M.G.Gilbert. Th e chaotic taxonomy combined with the poor state of preservation of most herbarium specimens makes the systematic study of this huge genus a quite diffi cult task. Th is paper off ers a nomenclatural account of all the published names with a recapitulatory list citing all the accepted names in subgenus Lacanthis as a fi rst step towards the revision of the group.
TL;DR: A comprehensive key to the species, their complete nomenclature and typification, together with complete descriptions and known geographical distributions for all the species are presented and illustrated.

TL;DR: This paper designates lectotypes where necessary, provides explanatory notes, and details the nomenclature and types for all Australian species except N. geminata (R.Br.) Kuntze and N.eventuate, which were described from other countries and their typification has not been fully investigated by the author.
Abstract: eventuate. There are currently 20 species of Nymphoides Seg. (Menyanthaceae) recognised as occurring in Australia (Aston 2003). Those described since 1950 had their type collections clearly designated when first described, but are included here for completeness. Those described prior to 1950 were initially placed under the generic names of either Limnanthemum S.G.Gmel. or Villarsia Vent. and most of them have been treated, at one time or another, under all three generic names. This paper designates lectotypes where necessary, provides explanatory notes, and details the nomenclature and types for all Australian species except N. indica (L.) Kuntze and N. parvifolia (Griseb.) Kuntze. Although the two excluded species occur in Australia they were described from other countries and their typification has not been fully investigated by the author. For species described before 1950, lectotypes are here designated for the currently accepted taxa N. crenata (F.Muell.) Kuntze, N. exiliflora (F.Muell.) Kuntze, N. geminata (R.Br.) Kuntze and N. minima (F.Muell.) Kuntze. They are also here designated for the taxonomic synonyms N. hydrocharoides (F.Muell.) Kuntze [under N. aurantiaca] and Limnanthemum geminatum (R.Br.) Griseb. var. parvifolium Griseb. [under N. exiliflora (F.Muell.) Kuntze]. Villarsia geminata var. β R.Br. is also placed under N. exiliflora and recognised as an informal synonym of L. geminatum var. parvifolium. Robert Brown’s informal variety of Villarsia geminata var. α is placed with N. geminata (R.Br.) Kuntze. The holotype and possible isotypes of N. exigua (F.Muell.) Kuntze, the holotype and isotypes of N. furculifolia Specht, and the holotype of Villarsia trachysperma F.Muell. [a taxonomic synonym of N. indica (L.) Kuntze] are given. The holotype and isotype of N. stygia (J.M.Black) H.Eichler are given and the name is considered a nomen ambiguum. Basionyms and nomenclatural synonyms, all of which occur under the generic names of either Limnanthemum or Villarsia, are cited.
TL;DR: Because no other original material could be traced and as Micheli's illustration is demonstrably ambiguous and cannot be critically identified for purposes of the precise application of the name an epitype has been designated from Northern Italy.
Abstract: Plate 3 (lower) in Micheli's Nova Plantarum Genera is selected as lectotype for the names Sphaerocarpos michelii Bellardi, S. terrestris Sm. and Targionia sphaerocarpos Dicks. Because no other original material could be traced and as Micheli's illustration is demonstrably ambiguous and cannot be critically identified for purposes of the precise application of the name (Art. 9.7) an epitype has been designated from Northern Italy. Spores of the epitype are illustrated.
TL;DR: As the original holotype was lost, a neotype is designated here, and in the same paper Musa peekelii lectotype was designated based on an illustration, and thus to be considered the holotype.

TL;DR: Eleven names in Eucalyptus are newly typified, and the typification is clarified for a further four names, which are all indigenous to Queensland or New South Wales.
Abstract: Eleven names in Eucalyptus are newly typified, and the typification is clarified for a further four names. The species involved are all indigenous to Queensland or New South Wales. Full discussion of relevant type specimens is provided, and other nomenclatural notes are included. Information provided in recent nomenclatural references for eucalypts is discussed, especially where the conclusions differ from the views expressed here.
TL;DR: Several names in the widespread arctic and northern boreal complexes of Papaver lapponicum-radicatum, P. nudicaule s.1., P. pulvinatum s.2, and related species are without identified or formally selected types.
Abstract: Several names in the widespread arctic and northern boreal complexes of Papaver lapponicum-radicatum, P. nudicaule s.1., P. pulvinatum s.1., and related species are without identified or formally selected types. This absence of a nomenclatural standard has sometimes made the application of these names contradictory among authors. Lectotypes are designated for the following names: Papaver angustifolium, P. lapponicum subsp. orientale, P. minutiflorum, P. nudicaule var. labradoricum, P. pulvinatum, P. pulvinatum subsp. tschuktschorum, and P. radicatum subsp. occidentale. A previously designated lectotype for P. pulvinatum subsp. lenaense is rejected on the grounds that it was based on inadmissible material and a new one is designated. A holotype of P. nudicaule subsp. gracile is identified.

TL;DR: A user survey for the evaluation of different typification results under different constraints showed that preserving the similarity after typification is the most important constraint for a reasonable typification process.
Abstract: Using detailed geometric city model may suffer from the capacity limitation and too high computing intensity during the visualization, especially when the model should be visualized with changing resolutions or map scales. One of the solutions to alleviate these drawbacks is to generalize the building models by means of operators such as simplification, aggregation and typification. This paper is dedicated to typification of facade features. Although typification has been frequently applied in 2D map generalization, much attention was paid on how to typify the features instead of whether the typification result pleases the user’s eyes. The authors present a user survey for the evaluation of different typification results under different constraints. The results showed that preserving the similarity after typification is the most important constraint for a reasonable typification process.
TL;DR: The worldwide distribution of the species is documented in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica and Panama.
Abstract: Diagnosis and illustrations are given for Braunia squarrulosa. Relevant to the taxonomy of the species, three names needed lectotypification. A Schlechtendahl specimen at BM is the lectotype for B. squarrulosa. A collection by Ehrenberg (BM) is the lectotype for B. sphaerocarpa. The lectotype for B. liebmanniana is a Liebmann specimen located at BM. The last two names are retained as synonyms of B. squarrulosa. The worldwide distribution of the species is documented in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica and Panama.
TL;DR: This work proposes the designation of an epitype to better fix the taxonomic application of the name M. aquaticum (Vellozo) Verdcourt based on Enydria aquatica Vellozo in the Haloragaceae.
Abstract: In 1973, Verdcourt made the combination in Myriophyllum L.: M. aquaticum (Vellozo) Verdcourt based on Enydria aquatica Vellozo in the Haloragaceae. However, significant morphological differences exist between the study of the Vellozo 1825 protologue and the Vellozo 1831 plate of E. aquatica. Therefore, we propose the designation of an epitype to better fix the taxonomic application of the name M. aquaticum (Vellozo) Verdcourt.

TL;DR: The basionym of Cynoglossum nobile, the type species of the genus Myosotidium Hook, is treated as a synonym of MyOSotidium hortensium, and to be in agreement with the neuter gender of MyosOTidium, the specific epithet is corrected to hortsensium.
Abstract: Holotype material of Myosotis hortensia Decne., the basionym of Myosotidium hortensium (Decne.) Baill. is located at P and the collection of this by J. B. Cecille in 1838 from the Chatham Islands, New Zealand, is described. For Cynoglossum nobile Hook.f., an illustration of a cultivated plant accompanying the description of the genus Myosotidium is designated as the neotype, as syntype material has not been located. Cynoglossum nobile is the basionym of Myosotidium nobile (Hook.f.) Hook.; this latter name is the type species of the genus Myosotidium Hook, and is treated as a synonym of Myosotidium hortensium. To be in agreement with the neuter gender of Myosotidium, the specific epithet is corrected to hortensium.
TL;DR: The nomenclature of Physcia aipolioides is discussed and a lectotype is designated.
