Checklist, typification details, and nomenclature status of ascomycetous fungi originally described in Sri Lanka.
Despite being a biodiversity-rich country, Sri Lanka’s fungal diversity remains largely unexplored. In the 19th century, British mycologists conducted extensive research, leading to the identification of more than 1,800 fungal taxa, including ascomycetous and basidiomycetous species. However, the majority of these taxa have not been revisited since their initial description,... -

The genera of Cyperaceae of Madagascar.
– The rise of DNA sequencing in systematics has brought more understanding of the Cyperaceae family worldwide. Through these studies, it has been possible to delineate major clades and classify its species into subfamilies, tribes, and genera. Today, we have a good understanding of the species diversity and geographic distribution...Rasaminirina, Fitiavana ; Larridon, Isabel

Phylogeny and infrageneric classification of Clerodendrum (Lamiaceae).
The infrageneric classification of the genus Clerodendrum (Lamiaceae) has been highly problematic due to different concepts and subdivisions being applied to the treatment of Asian, Australian, and African species. Earlier molecular phylogenetic studies based on Sanger sequencing and limited sampling have indicated that previous morphology-based infrageneric classifications are not congruent... -

New Combinations and Lectotypifications in Rubiaceae for the Flora of Tropical East Africa.
Three new combinations at subspecific rank are provided here for taxa of conservation interest in Tropical East Africa: Bullockia setiflora (Hiern) Razafim., Lantz & B. Bremer subsp. telidosma (K. Schum.) Gereau, Vangueria schumanniana (Robyns) Lantz subsp. mucronulata (Robyns) Lantz ex Gereau (both Rubiaceae: Vanguerieae), and Dirichletia glaucescens Hiern subsp. angustifolia... -

Chlorophytum vespertinum (Asparagaceae, Anthericeae), a New Species from Zambia and Tanzania.
Chlorophytum vespertinum Vollesen from Zambia and Tanzania is described and illustrated. The species exhibits characters unique in Chlorophytum Ker Gawl.: pendulous flowers and fruits, flowers that open late in the afternoon and close before midnight, and leaves with a long-extended reflexed or recoiled tip. Its affinities are discussed in the... -

A new combination in Dysolobium (Leguminosae–Papilionoideae).
Dysolobium dasycarpum (Miq.) I.M.Turner, comb. nov., is proposed to take the place of Dysolobium dolichoides (Baker) Prain as the correct name of a legume species from seasonally-dry tropical Asia. A lectotype at the second step is designated for Dolichos dasycarpus Miq.Turner, Ian M.

Three new species of Erycibe (Convolvulaceae) from Malesia.
As part of a comprehensive review of the genus Erycibe (Convolvulaceae) in South-East Asia, three new species are described and illustrated: E. sangiheensis Kochaiph. & Utteridge sp. nov. from Sangihe Island, North Sulawesi Province in Indonesia and two from Borneo (E. trichocarpa Kochaiph. & Utteridge sp. nov. and E. brunneopilosa...Kochaiphat, Phongsakorn ; Traiperm, Paweena ; Utteridge, Timothy M.

Notes on lichenicolous Pleosporales, with two new species, Didymocyrtis azorica and Pseudopyrenidium epipertusariae (Phaeosphaeriaceae).
The identity and phylogenetic placement of some lichenicolous Pleosporales were studied using morphological and molecular data. Two new species are described, Didymocyrtis azorica on Hypotrachyna rockii, from the Azores, and Pseudopyrenidium epipertusariae on Pertusaria pertusa, from Spain in oceanic montane woods, with a Phoma-like asexual state. This is the second...Etayo, J. ; Pino-Bodas, R.
