Prioritising species for monitoring in a South African protected area and the Red List for plants.
Protected areas (PA) in biodiversity hotspots face the challenge of monitoring large numbers of locally rare and threatened plant species at times with limited budgets. Prioritising species according to their local extinction risk could help PA managers to decide which species to monitor. However, there is often very little information...Cowell, Carly R. ; Nic Lughadha, Eimear ; Anderson, Pippin M. L. ; Leão, Tarciso ; Williams, Jenny …

The Callitriche (Plantaginaceae: Callitricheae) names published under the genus Stellaria, and notes on C. aquatica and the Linnéan name C. palustris var. bifida.
Unequivocal communication of knowledge about organisms requires unequivocal names by which to refer to them. When the same name is used to refer to very distinct groups of organisms, misunderstanding and problems are certain to follow. In this work we discuss the complicated issues linked to the use of the...Hassemer, Gustavo ; Lansdown, Richard V.
