A revision of Gomphostemma (Lamiaceae).
The genus Wall. ex Benth. is revised. Thirty-one species are recognised with three new species described: Bongch. from north-eastern Thailand, southern Laos and central Vietnam, Bongch. and Bongch. from northern Myanmar. Thirty names are lectotypified. A key to species, distribution maps and conservation categories for all species are provided.Conservation, Lamioideae, Gomphostemma, Southeast Asia, Revisions, and Taxonomy

The ECAT dataset: expert-validated distribution data of endemic and sub-endemic trees of Central Africa (Dem. Rep. Congo, Rwanda, Burundi).
In this data paper, we present a specimen-based occurrence dataset compiled in the framework of the Conservation of Endemic Central African Trees (ECAT) project with the aim of producing global conservation assessments for the IUCN Red List. The project targets all tree species endemic or sub-endemic to the Central African... -

Diversity and Taxonomy of Cyperus (Cyperaceae) in the Central-West Region of Brazil.
A taxonomic study of Cyperus L. (Cyperaceae) in the Central-West region of Brazil is presented. We examined more than 1300 herbarium specimens. Many of the species were also studied in the field. Our results recognize 59 species of Cyperus in the Central-West of Brazil, including three species endemic to the... -

Tribe Shoreae (Dipterocarpaceae subfamily Dipterocarpoideae) Finally Dissected.
The dipterocarp tribe Shoreae, perhaps more than any other members of this elegant family of often giant emergent trees, is familiar to all who visit the once ubiquitous lowland forests of tropical Asia. Timbers of the genus comprised the bulk of hardwood traded on international markets for thirty years, since...Ashton, P. S. ; Heckenhauer, J.

Does oxygen affect ageing mechanisms of Pinus densiflora seeds? A matter of cytoplasmic physical state.
During desiccation, the cytoplasm of orthodox seeds solidifies into an intracellular glass with highly restricted diffusion and molecular mobility. Temperature and water content govern seed ageing rates, while oxygen (O2) can promote deteriorative reactions. However, whether the cytoplasmic physical state affects involvement of O2 in seed ageing remains unresolved. We...
