Nomenclatural notes on some autumn flowering daffodils (Narcissus, Amaryllidaceae).
Autumn flowering daffodils have been recorded in taxonomic history for at least 500 years. First descriptions were often merely based on hearsay, as they were often not studied alive. Consequently, many errors in interpretation of these names have occurred and taxonomic confusion, errors in identification and misapplication of names have...Koopowitz, Harold ; Howe, Marilynn ; Christenhusz, Maarten J.

New names in Myrcia sect. Calyptranthes (Myrtaceae).
After extensive molecular (Staggemeier et al. 2015; Santos et al. 2017; Wilson et al. 2016) and revisionary (e.g. Lima et al. 2018; Lourenço et al. 2018) work to maintain a manageable and monophyletic genus, Myrcia De Candolle (1827: 406) currently includes the previously recognized genera Calyptranthes Swartz (1788: 79), Gomidesia...Lima, Duane F. ; Lucas, Eve J. ; Lima Lourenço, Ana Raquel ; Mazine, Fiorella F.

Typifications, synonymizations and nomenclatural notes in Myrcia sect. Reticulosae (Myrtaceae).
Myrcia sect. Reticulosae comprises ca. 15 Brazilian endemic species distributed mainly in Atlantic Forest, Cerrado (Brazilian savanna) and Campo Rupestre (rocky outcrop vegetation). These species appeared as a cohesive group for the first time in recent phylogenetic hypotheses and their taxonomic revision is currently underway. In this context, this study...Fernandes, Thiago ; Lima, Duane F. ; Lucas, Eve J. ; Alvarenga Braga, João Marcelo

Nomenclatural adjustments in Amazonian Myrcia sect. Aulomyrcia (Myrtaceae).
Most recent studies support a broad circumscription of the Neotropical genus Myrcia De Candolle (1827: 401), now including species previously recognised in Calyptranthes Swartz (1788: 79) and Marlierea Cambessèdes (1833: 373) based on molecular and morphological evidence (e.g. Lucas et al. 2011, 2018, Lourenço 2015, Staggemeier et al. 2015, Wilson...Gaem, Paulo Henrique ; Mazine, Fiorella Fernanda ; Lucas, Eve

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 genus Callitriche (Plantaginaceae: Callitricheae) in South America.
Callitriche is a sub-cosmopolitan plant genus occurring throughout temperate regions of both hemispheres, including the peri-Antarctic islands, with 78 species worldwide. Records of Callitriche include frequent and extensive misidentification due to a combination of factors including a lack of taxonomic and nomenclatural clarification before the mid-20th century. This work aims...Lansdown, Richard V. ; Hassemer, Gustavo
