Calamus kebariensis (Arecaceae)—a new montane rattan from New Guinea.
Calamus kebariensis (Arecaceae or Palmae), a new species of rattan from the Bird’s Head Peninsula in West Papua, Indonesia, is described and illustrated. This species, which, among the New Guinea Calamus species, most closely resembles C. cuthbertsonii and C. spanostachys, is distinguished by its short and extremely slender stems, finely...Maturbongs, Rudi A. ; Dransfield, John ; Baker, William

Taxonomic revision of the threatened African genus Pseudohydrosme Engl. (Araceae), with P. ebo, a new, critically endangered species from Ebo, Cameroon
This is the first revision in more than 100 years of the African genus Pseudohydrosme, formerly considered endemic to Gabon. Closely related to Anchomanes, Pseudohydrosme is distinct from Anchomanes because of its 2-3-locular ovary (vs. unilocular), peduncle concealed by cataphylls at anthesis and far shorter than the spathe (vs. exposed,...Cheek, Martin ; Tchiengué, Barthélemy ; van der Burgt, Xander

Two new combinations in Elatostematoides (Urticaceae) for species from Sarawak and Sumatra.
Based on a recently published phylogeny, Elatostematoides is monophyletic and distinct from Elatostema. As more taxa are included in the molecular phylogeny, new combinations will need to be created to accommodate in Elatostematoides species formerly in Elatostema. In the present paper we provide evidence that Elatostema hirtum belongs to Elatostematoides.... -

Iris sanguinea is conspecific with I. sibirica (Iridaceae) according to morphology and plastid DNA sequence data
A taxonomic revision of Iris subser. Sibiricae is provided based on morphological and molecular analyses and the study of protologues and original material. Two to three species have been recognized in this subseries by botanists. To address the question of species delimitations and relationships within this group, we analyzed four...Boltenkov, Eugeny ; Artyukova, Elena ; Kozyrenko, Marina ; Erst, Andrey ; Trias-Blasi, Anna

Rhagadodidymellopsis endocarpi gen. et sp. nov. and Arthopyrenia symbiotica (Dothideomyceta), two lichenicolous fungi growing on Endocarpon species.
The lichenicolous fungus Rhagadodidymellopsis endocarpi (Dothideomyceta) growing on the thallus of the terricolous lichen Endocarpon pusillum is described from Spain and Australia as new to science. The new genus and species is compared with other taxa from the genera Didymellopsis and Zwackhiomyces (Xanthopyreniaceae, Collemopsidiales, Dothideomyceta), in particular with D. perigena,...Fernández-Brime, Samantha ; Gaya, Ester ; Llimona, Xavier ; Wedin, Mats ; Navarro-Rosinés, Pere

Two new species of Aloe (Asphodelaceae) from the Eastern Humid Forest of Madagascar.
Two new species of Aloe were found in the eastern rainforest of Madagascar during a Kew Madagascar Conservation Centre (KMCC) Team expedition in November 2014. The first species, Aloe vatovavensis is rare in this habitat. The second, Aloe rakotonasoloi, exhibits characters that are intermediate between the features of Aloe s.str....Rakotoarisoa, Solofo E. ; Rakotonasolo, Franck ; Rabarijaona, Romer N. ; Grace, Olwen M.
