New species, combinations and records of Hypecoum, Dactylicapnos and Corydalis (Fumariaceae) in China

Five new species of Fumariaceae from the Flora of China area, viz. Hypecoum zhukanum (sect. Leptocarpae ), Dactylicapnos gaoligongshanensis (sect. Dactylicapnos ), D. leiosperma (sect. Minicalcara ), Corydalis laxiflora and C. tianshanica (subgenus Cremnocapnos sect. Strictae ), are described. Dactylicapnos burmanica comb. nov., D. grandifoliolata and D. macrocapnos are reported from China for the first time, and the new combinations Dactylicapnos ventii (basion.: Dicentra ventii T. C. Khanh), D. schneideri (basion.: Dicentra schneideri Fedde) and D. burmanica (basion.: Dicentra burmanica K. R. Stern) are validated. Novelties in Corydalis subgenus Corydalis will be published separately.     

Three new species of Dasylirion (Nolinaceae) from Mexico and a clarification of the D. longissimum complex

Three new species ofDasylirion and a new variety ofD. longissimum Lem. from the mountains of northern Mexico are described and illustrated. Two of the new species are from northwestern Mexico:D. gentryi, with large, rosecolored fruits and glossy, non-waxy leaves; andD. sereke, characterized by roundish fruits with an unusuall large style.Dasylirion miquihuanense is a new species from northeastern Mexico with narrow, strictly upright leaves and widely separated marginal prickles. TheDasylirion longissimum complex consists of two species,D. quadrangulatum S. Wats andD. longissimum Lem., characterized by narrow, quadrangulate leaves with reduced or absents marginal prickles. Distinguishing features of these two species, which have often been confused, are presented andD. longissimum var.treleasei, characterized by small flowers and fruits, is described.     

紫堇科二新种

该文描述了紫堇科二新种:(1)自云南省发现的紫堇科紫堇属一新种,宽鳞紫堇。此新种与波密紫堇相近似,与后者的区别在于本新种的根状茎鳞片半透明,具三条脉,茎无叶,外花瓣无鸡冠状突起,雄蕊束具2花药,花丝条形,无脉,子房宽条形。(2)自黑龙江省发现的紫堇科紫堇属一新种,鹤岗延胡索。此种与新疆元胡相似,但本种叶的小叶多在顶端,具1~5牙齿,花序苞片有3~5小裂片,上花瓣及其瓣片和距均较小,蜜腺呈狭卵球形,弯曲,顶端尖锐而与新疆元胡相区别。     

A synopsis of Goniothalamus species (Annonaceae) in Peninsular Malaysia, with a description of a new species

The species of Goniothalamus (Annonaceae) occurring in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore are revised, updating the previous taxonomic treatment by James Sinclair, published in 1955. A total of 18 species is recognized, including a new species, G. tomentosus . Collections referrable to G. tomentosus were previously determined as ' G. marcanii '; examination of the types of G. marcanii reveals that the two taxa are not conspecific, however, and a new name is accordingly validated here. Goniothalamus tomentosus has closest affinities with the Javan/Sumatran species G. costulatus . Other important nomenclatural changes include the reduction of G. umbrosus to synonymy with G. tapis .  © 2003 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2003, 142 , 321−339.     

鹤岗延胡索, 黑龙江紫堇科一新种

描写了自黑龙江省发现的紫堇科紫堇属一新种,鹤岗延胡索。此种与新疆元胡相似,但本种叶的小叶多在顶端具1～5牙齿,花序苞片有3～5小裂片,上花瓣及其辦片和距均较小,蜜腺呈狭卵球形,弯曲,顶端尖锐而与新疆元胡相区别。     

Three new species of Couratari (Lecythidaceae)

Three new species of Couratari are described. Couratari scottmorii from San Biás, Panama and Costa Rica and C. asterotricha from southeastern Brazil are closely related to C. stellata and C. pyramidata. Couratari scottmorii is another example of the close relationship between the forests of Panama and those of the Guianas. Couratari sandwithii from Venezuela and Suriname belongs to the C. multiflora species complex.     

Three new species of Cobaea (Polemoniaceae)

Revisionary work has revealed three new species ofCobaea:Cobaea flava of northern Peru,C. paneroi of central Mexico, andC. rotundiflora of Guatemala and extreme southeastern Mexico.Cobaea flava is most similar toC. campanulata and differs mainly in its pedicel pubescence, corolla coloration, and stamen position.Cobaea paneroi is among the large-flowered species (theCobaea scandens group) but is easily distinguished from these by its long-acuminate calyx segments.Cobaea rotundiflora most closely resemblesC. triflora. It differs mainly in its corolla coloration and wider, pubescent calyx segments.     

Three new species of Salacioideae (Celastraceae)

This paper describes three new species of Salacioideae Cheiloclinium and Salacia (Celastraceae) from South America: C. brevipetiolatum Lombardi is characterized by its very short, only 5 mm long petioles; S. krigsneri Lombardi is distinguished by its dichasium (inflorescence) with shortened lateral branches, a unique feature among neotropical species; and S. vernicosa Lombardi can be discerned from other species by its fascicled inflorescences and large leaves, dried inflorescence covered with resinous substance, tubuliform flowers, flat, ring‐shaped disc, and berries with ribs at base and lobes at apex.     

A synopsis of Goniothalamus species (Annonaceae) in Thailand, with descriptions of three new species

A comprehensive taxonomic revision of Goniothalamus species (Annonaceae) occurring in Thailand is presented for the first time. Twenty-five species are recognized, including three that are described as new to science ( Goniothalamus aurantiacus from South-Western Thailand, Goniothalamus maewongensis from Northern Thailand, and Goniothalamus rongklanus from Northern and North-Eastern Thailand). Several taxonomic and nomenclatural misunderstandings are corrected. The name G. griffithii is shown to be widely misapplied for populations in Northern Thailand, for which the name G. calvicarpus should be applied; 'true' G. griffithii is restricted to South-Western Thailand and Myanmar. In addition, the widely used name G. marcanii is shown to be a synonym of G. tamirensis , and the name G. latestigma , previously regarded as a synonym of G. undulatus , is reinstated. Goniothalamus cheliensis is furthermore newly recorded from Thailand. Most species are restricted to Peninsular Thailand and represent a Malesian floristic component.  © 2008 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2008, 156 , 355–384.     

Studies in Dactylicapnos (Papaveraceae–Fumarioideae) part II. Revision of Dactylicapnos sect. Pogonosperma sect. nov., with D. arunachalensis sp. nov.

Dactylicapnos sect. Pogonosperma Lidén & M. K. Pathak sect. nov. is established and revised based on morphology, and found to include four species: D. gaoligongshanensis from west Yunnan, D. arunachalensis Lidén & M. K. Pathak sp. nov., endemic to central Arunachal Pradesh, D. grandifoliolata (syn. D. ventii) and D. paucinervia (K. R. Stern) Lidén & M. K. Pathak comb. nov., the two latter species widespread in the east Himalayas.     

Three new species of the genus Iriplaris (Polygonaceae)

Three species, Triplaris dugandii Brandbyge, T. moyobambensis Brandbyge, and T. physocalyx Brandbyge, all from lowland Amazonian South America are described as new to science.     

Corydalis hirtipes B.U. Oh et J.G. Kim: A new species ofCorydalis sectCorydalis (Fumariaceae) from Korea

Here we describe a new species ofCorydalis sectCorydalis (Fumariaceae), namely C.hirtipes B.U. Oh et J.G. Kim. This species, from the central part of Korea, is clearly distinguished from other species of sectCorydalis by its simple, unicellular hairs that are densely distributed on the stems, peduncles, and petioles. It is also distinctive from its close relative C.albipetala in having ternate leaves, lobate or parted leaflets, dentate or cleft bracts, and broad, fusiform fruits.

A synopsis of the neotropical species of Dalechampia (Euphorbiaceae)

WEBSTER, G. L. & ARMBRUSTER, W. S., 1991. A synopsis of the neotropical species of Dalechampia ( Euphorbiaceae ). The characters used in inferring phylogenetic relationship in Dalechampia are discussed, and a consistent terminology is devised for the parts of the distinctive pseudanthial inflorescences. The infrageneric classification is radically modified, with the 92 provisionally accepted binomials for the neotropical taxa referred to six sections: Rhopalostylis, Dioscoreifoliae, Cremophyllum, Coriaceae, Tiliifoliae and Dalechampia. As here interpreted, section Dalechampia includes 53 species in five subsections; one new subsection, Convolvuloides , is described.
