Gardneria and Spigelia (Loganiaceae), two genera new to the Flora of Peninsular Malaysia.
The genera Gardneria and Spigelia with the discovery of G. ovata from Fraser’s Hill, Pahang, and the tropical American weed, S. anthelmia from Selangor, respectively, are new records for the Flora of Peninsular Malaysia. A full description and taxonomic notes for G. ovata and S. anthelmia in Peninsular Malaysia are...Julius, Avelinah ; Kamin, Imin ; Kiew, Ruth ; Utteridge, Timothy M. A.

Gabonius gen. nov. (Leguminosae, Caesalpinioideae, Detarieae), a distant cousin of Hymenostegia endemic to Gabon.
A new genus, Gabonius is described to accommodate a single species, Gabonius ngouniensis which was previously misplaced in Hymenostegia sensu lato. Gabonius ngouniensis is a widespread Gabonese endemic of evergreen forest. We assess G. ngouniensis as Least Concern (LC) according to IUCN criteria. A distribution map of Gabonius is presented,...Wieringa, Jan J. ; Mackinder, Barbara A. ; Van Proosdij, André S. J.

Annea gen. nov. (Detarieae, Caesalpinioideae, Leguminosae): a home for two species long misplaced in Hymenostegia sensu lato.
A new genus Annea is described to accommodate two tropical African legume species previously misplaced in Hymenostegia (Leguminosae, Caesalpinioideae, Detarieae). Annea gen. nov. is widespread in tropical Africa but has an unusual disjunct generic distribution, occurring in both upper and lower Guinea but absent from Gabon. Annea afzelii accounts for...Mackinder, Barbara A. ; Wieringa, Jan J.

A biogeographical appraisal of the threatened South East Africa Montane Archipelago ecoregion..
Recent biological surveys of ancient inselbergs in southern Malawi and northern Mozambique have led to the discovery and description of many species new to science, and overlapping centres of endemism across multiple taxa. Combining these endemic taxa with data on geology and climate, we propose the ‘South East Africa Montane... -

Taxonomic characterisation of the Regianum clade (genus Tuber) and the trait evolution of spore size among true truffles.
The genus comprises ectomycorrhizal fungal species producing belowground ascomata, including the gastronomically most prominent hypogeous fungi. Since the discovery and description of new species are ongoing, the proportion of undescribed species can be considerable and the taxonomy of the genus goes often through changes. The taxonomy of the genus would...
