Central Asia also possesses considerable Salvia species diversity but is understudied relative to the aforementioned diversity hotspots. To help remedy this deficiency, we present a synopsis of Central Asian Salvia species based on extensive fieldwork, herbarium consultation, and literature surveys focusing on Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan (i.e., Central Asia). According to our final taxonomic revision, there are 41 species of native Salvia in the flora of Central Asia, 24 of which are endemic. Salvia ariana from Tajikistan and S. spinosa from Kazakhstan are documented from the respective countries for the first time, and the presence of S. tianschanica from Tajikistan and S. verticillata from Kazakhstan has been confirmed. In addition, the neotypification of S. deserta and three lectotypifications (Perovskia abrotanoides, S. bucharica and S. trautvetterii) are provided. Furthermore, we synonymized six species of Salvia that were previously reported from Central Asia, including S. intercedens, S. kopetdaghensis, S. linczevskii, S. lipskyi, S. semilanata and S. stepposa. Finally, a new species identification key for Central Asian Salvia is presented based on the new nomenclature changes and our taxonomic revision.

It is unique from all the congeneric taxa by having two to four valved fruits with arilless seeds. Morphologically, Durio gerikensis is similar to D. lanceolatus Mast. (Masters 1875:499) and D. singaporensis Ridl. (Ridley 1916: 143) but they differ in their leaf, flower and fruit characteristics.

Its sheets were previously misidentified as Eugenia umbrosa and this misquoting name have been used in scientific collections and publications until now. After 10 years of studies and discussions about its identity, Eugenia quilombola was recognized as a new taxon based on its diagnostic features of multilocular anthers and verrucose fruits (vs. rimose anther and smooth fruit in E. umbrosa). Furthermore, Eugenia quilombola has a narrow distribution in northeastern Brazil while E. umbrosa occurs in the southeastern region and in the state of Bahia.

查看更多>>摘要：The taxonomic limits of two Moroccan Arabis species are revised based on a critical evaluation of morphology in light of phylogenetic and cytogenetic studies that also included the monospecific European Fourraea. As a result, the new tribe Fourraeeae, the new genus Hurkaea and new combinations H. josiae, H. conringioides, and H. conringioides subsp. humbertii are proposed. Keys to distinguish genera, species and subspecies are provided.

We therefore reduce C. paludigenum to the synonymy of C. sieboldii, and C. zhejiangense to the synonymy of C. yezoense. The distribution area of both C. sieboldii and C. yezoense are widely expanded in China.

Morphologically, our new species is characterized by hemispherical ascomata with slit-like ostiole, trabeculate pseudoparaphyses, obclavate to cylindrical asci, and fusiform, hyaline, 1-septate ascospores, surrounded by a distinctive thin sheath, which fit well with Aigialaceae. The phylogenetic analyses based on a combined LSU, ITS, SSU, and TEF1-alpha sequence data showed that the new collections are affiliated with the genus Fissuroma and can be recognized as a new species Fissuroma bambusicola. The comprehensive description and notes of F. bambusicola are provided.

We therefore place A. brevis and A. argyrophylla var. brevis in synonymy with A. rupestris.
查看更多>>摘要：Bulbophyllum guniuensis W.Y. Ni & J.W. Shao, a new species of Orchidaceae from Anhui Province, eastern China, is described and illustrated. This new species is similar to B. henanense in overall plant size and leaf morphology, but differs from the latter by the length of the scape and the morphology of the lateral sepals and lip. B. guniuensis is also similar to B. hirundinis in margin fimbriate-ciliate, 3-veined dorsal sepal and petals, but differs from it in oblique oblong (vs. linear) lateral sepals and pale yellow to orange yellow (vs. purplish-red to yellow) flowers.

查看更多>>摘要：We discussed the typification of the name Saxifraga yuparensis applicable to an alpine plant described from Hokkaido, northern Japan. The holotype is not found in the cited herbarium and other herbaria related to Nosaka. No isotypes or paratypes were cited in its protologue, and no other uncited specimens are unambiguously deduced to have been used by Nosaka when describing the species and do not comprise the original material (Art. 9.4 of the Botanical Code). Therefore, an illustration (Fig. 11 in Nosaka 1974) published as part of the protologue is the only original material that can be chosen in lectotype designation in conformity with Art. 9.12. The illustration is here designated as the lectotype for the name.
