Traditional medicines amongst indigenous groups in Roraima, Brazil: a retrospective.
Surveys of medicinal plants and fungi among five indigenous groups in Roraima, Brazil, were identified in the 1990s but not published. Most of the 52 species reported here were unknown in the literature for the same medicinal purpose when the data were collected, but 25 years later this has changed....Milliken, William

The biosecurity risks of seeds in a botanic garden context.
Seeds present a naturally occurring package of germplasm with ideal attributes for collection, distribution and, in the case of orthodox seed, long term storage. From a phytosanitary perspective seeds are often considered a relatively low-risk option for movement of germplasm across borders. Most published data are concerned with diseases of...Redstone, Sara ; Fox, Adrian

Sixty Years with the Chrysobalanaceae.
A review is given of the studies of Ghillean Prance and associates on the Chrysobalanaceae over the past sixty years. This has focussed on defining the generic boundaries in the family and on monographic work with a worldwide approach to this pantropical family. The importance of field studies for work...Prance, Ghillean T.

Systematic revision of Platanthera in the Azorean archipelago: not one but three species, including arguably Europe’s rarest orchid.
The Macaronesian islands represent an excellent crucible for exploring speciation. This dominantly phenotypic study complements a separate genotypic study, together designed to identify and circumscribe species (butterfly-orchids) on the Azores, and to determine their geographic origin(s) and underlying speciation mechanism(s). 216 individuals of from 30 Azorean localities spanning all nine...Bateman, Richard M. ; Rudall, Paula J. ; Moura, Mónica

Assessing non-detrimental trade for a CITES Appendix II-listed plant species: the status of wild and cultivated Galanthus woronowii in Georgia.
A process for the review of significant trade in species listed in CITES Appendix II was established to address problems with the application of CITES Article IV. Article IV states that international trade in Appendix II species requires a Scientific Authority of the state of export to determine that such... -

Two new species of Diospyros (Ebenaceae) from New Guinea.
The genus Diospyros (Ebenaceae) is highly diverse throughout Malesia, and New Guinea is thought to host c.46 species. Here we present a taxonomic treatment of a group of vegetatively similar species from the region, characterised by the large, chartaceous leaves that develop a peculiarly dark colour when dried. As a...Puglisi, C. ; Jimbo, Tiberius ; Hagwood, Austin

Molecular phylogeny resolves a taxonomic misunderstanding and places Geisleria close to Absconditella s. str. (Ostropales : Stictidaceae).
The phylogenetic position of the genus and its type species was reconstructed using sequence data of the mitochondrial small subunit (mtSSU), the nuclear large subunit rDNA (nuLSU) and the first subunit of the RNA polymerase ( ). The species, previously classified in (Eurotiomycetes) and (Dothideomycetes), is sister to the type...Aptroot, André ; Parnmen, Sittiporn ; Lücking, Robert ; Baloch, Elisabeth ; Jungbluth, Patricia …
