On the identity of Dracocephalum breviflorum (Lamiaceae, Nepetoideae).
As currently circumscribed, the genus Dracocephalum Linnaeus (1753: 594) includes the traditionally defined Hyssopus Linnaeus (1753: 569) and Lallemantia Fischer & Meyer (1840: 52), making it the second largest genus in subtribe Nepetinae (Nepetoideae, Lamiaceae), consisting of ca. 80 species (Chen et al. 2022). Morphologically, the genus is most similar... -

Today, the 23rd of May, is the 305th birthday of Carl Linnaeus—father of plant taxonomy and founder of the modern scheme of binomial nomenclature. To join international celebrations of his birthday, we publish Phytotaxa 100, at the same time marking an important milestone in the history of this journal of...Zhang, Zhi-Qiang ; Esser, Hans-Joachim ; Christenhusz, Maarten J.

Clearing up Vietnamosasa (Poaceae, Bambusoideae): typification and nomenclature of a distinctive paleotropical bamboo genus.
This paper aims to clarify and stabilize the nomenclature of the singular fire-adapted South-East Asian bamboo genus Vietnamosasa Nguyen (1990: 221), and the specific taxa it comprises, by designating lectotypes and neotypes to allow accurate application of the published names. Little attention has been given to this genus in the...Haevermans, Thomas ; Nguyen, Bich Loan ; Gurgand, Jacques ; Haevermans, Agathe ; Dransfield, Soejatmi …

Hellenia Retz., the correct name for Cheilocostus C.D.Specht (Costaceae).

A new combination in Handroanthus (Bignoniaceae) from Brazil.
While reviewing Vellozo’s Bignoniaceae names in Floræ Fluminensis, a nomenclatural novelty came to light. The name Bignonia longiflora Vellozo, being a later homonym of B. longiflora Cavanilles, was deemed illegitimate. Consequently, Vellozo’s name was eventually replaced with Tecoma speciosa Candolle ex Martius. However, when Tabebuia Gomes ex Candolle was considered... -

Creating a multi-linked dynamic dataset: a case study of plant genera named for women.

A conceptual framework for nomenclatural stability and validity of medically important fungi: a proposed global consensus guideline for fungal name changes supported by ABP, ASM, CLSI, ECMM, ESCMID-EFISG, EUCAST-AFST, FDLC, IDSA, ISHAM, MMSA, and MSGERC.
The rapid pace of name changes of medically important fungi is creating challenges for clinical laboratories and clinicians involved in patient care. We describe two sources of name change which have different drivers, at the species versus the genus level. Some suggestions are made here to reduce the number of...de Hoog, Sybren ; Walsh, Thomas J. ; Ahmed, Sarah A. ; Alastruey-Izquierdo, Ana ; Alexander, Barbara D. …

The hairy-fig complex of Ficus sect. Eriosycea (Moraceae) includes F. hirta, F. esquiroliana, F. simplicissima and a Chinese entity misidentified as F. fulva. These species are difficult to delimit because of the continuously varying morphological characteristics.

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,...
