Generic Relationships

The taxonomy of Zieria Sm. is reassessed and a revised classification is presented. The history of taxonomic discrimination in Zieria is summarised and its cytology, phytochemistry and biology reviewed; the generic relationships and phylogeny are assessed. The monophyly of the genus is discussed and its recognised taxa assigned to six taxon groups. Of the 73 previously published names, 20 names are re-instated and four new combinations established; 20 new species1 and eight new subspecies are described, bringing the total for the genus to 51 taxa (i.e. 42 species and nine infraspecific taxa). Lectotypes and neotypes are chosen where necessary, for a number of earlier names. Keys to all taxa, distribution maps, illustrations of most taxa and electron micrographs of a range of morphological features are provided. Taxa described as new are as follows: Z. arborescens Sims subsp. decurrens J.A.Armstrong, Z. arborescens Sims subsp. glabrifolia J.A.Armstrong, Z. aspalathoides A.Cunn. ex Benth. subsp. brachyphylla J.A.Armstrong, Z.�baeuerlenii J.A.Armstrong, Z.buxijugum J.D.Briggs & J.A.Armstrong, Z. caducibracteata J.A.Armstrong, Z. citriodora J.A.Armstrong, Z. covenyi J.A.Armstrong, Z. floydii J.A.Armstrong, Z. formosa J.D.Briggs & J.A.Armstrong, Z. furfuracea R.Br. ex Benth. subsp. euthadenia J.A.Armstrong, Z. furfuracea R.Br. ex Benth. subsp. gymnocarpa J.A.Armstrong, Z. hindii J.A.Armstrong, Z. ingramii J.A.Armstrong, Z. lasiocaulis J.A.Armstrong, Z. littoralis J.A.Armstrong, Z. minutiflora Domin subsp. trichocarpa J.A.Armstrong, Z. montana J.A.Armstrong, Z. odorifera J.A.Armstrong, Z. oreocena J.A.Armstrong, Z. parrisiae J.D.Briggs & J.A.Armstrong, Z. prostrata J.A.Armstrong, Z. robertsiorum J.A.Armstrong, Z. smithii G.Jackson subsp. tomentosa J.A.Armstrong, Z. southwellii J.A.Armstrong, Z. tuberculata J.A.Armstrong, Z.�veronicea (F.Muell.)

This taxonomic revision of the continental African species of Monanthotaxis (Annonaceae) includes 79 species and one variety. Thirteen new species (M. aestuaria, M. bidaultii, M. confusa, M. glabra, M. hexamera, M. mcphersonii, M. quasilanceolata, M. sterilis, M. submontana, M. suffruticosa, M. ursus, M. vulcanica and M. wieringae) are described and 5 new combinations (M. biglandulosa, M. kenyensis, M. ochroleuca, M. pynaertii and M. seretii) are made. The genus Monanthotaxis consists of lianas or lianescent shrubs. It occurs throughout forests in tropical Africa and the highest species diversity is found in the Western Central African rain forests. A key for flowering material is provided, just like a synoptic key including 45 characters. Topics included in the revision are the history of the taxonomy of Monanthotaxis, morphology, leaf anatomy, floral biology, distribution and habitat, phylogeny and finally ethnobotany and phytochemistry. Each species is fully described including synonymy, notes on distribution, habitat & ecology, vernacular names, uses and a preliminary IUCN conservation status. Distribution maps are provided for all species, illustrations for 48 species and photographs of 22 species. An index of exsiccatae and an index of the scientific names are included at the end.

First Time

A taxonomic monograph of a re-circumscribed Leandra sect. Leandra is presented. The new circumscription is based on a previous phylogenetic hypothesis, and diagnostic morphological characters are discussed. Four new combinations to Leandra are proposed, one from Clidemia (L. capilliflora) and three from Ossaea (L. capitata, L. cogniauxii and L. loligomorpha). Additionally, eight species are treated as synonyms for the first time, and 15 lectotypes are designated. A review of the 17 recognized species, including descriptions, synonymy, illustrations and distribution maps, is provided. This work also includes an overview of general morphology, leaf and flower anatomy, phenology and geographical distribution. Species with a history of taxonomic problems and/or with distinctive morphotypes are further investigated with morphometrics tools.

Inflorescence Structure

The taxonomy of the Carex flava complex (section Ceratocystis) in North America and northern Eurasia is revised. Three species are recognized in this complex (C. flava L., C. cryptolepis Mack., and C. viridula Michx.). Carex viridula contains six infraspecific taxa, which are differentiated on the basis of differences in inflorescence structure, degree of perigynium curvature, leaf and bract morphology, chromosome number, and ecological preference. Three nomenclatural changes are required: C. viridula ssp. brachyrrhyncha (Čelak.) B. Schmid var. elatior (Schlecht.) Crins, comb.nov.; C. viridula ssp. brachyrrhyncha var. nevadensis (Boiss. & Reuter) Crins, comb.nov.; C. viridula ssp. brachyrrhyncha var. saxilittoralis (Robertson) Crins, comb, et stat.nov. This classification reflects the results of morphological, ecological, and cytological studies, and is also consistent with the hypothesized phylogenetic history of the section as a whole. A key is provided for all of the North American and northern Eurasian members of section Ceratocystis. Descriptions and distribution maps for members of the C. flava complex are also provided.

Adenanthos Labill. (Proteaceae) is endemic to parts of southern Australia. The presence of morphologic diversity and plasticity within the genus has resulted in taxo- nomic uncertainty. The morphology of Adenanthos and associated terminology, as well as aspects of the history of the genus, are discussed. Adenanthos is revised taxonomically. The nomenclature of the infrageneric sections is revised, and a new subsect. Anaclastos, within sect. Adenanthos, is designated. The feminine gender is retained for the generic name. Eight new species are described: A. dobagii,A. glabrescens, A eyrei,A. oreophila,A. macropodiana.A. labillardierei,A. ileticos and A. cacomorpha. Four new subspecies are described: A. sericea subsp. sphalma, A. cygnorum subsp. chamaephyton, A. pungens subsp. effusa and A. glabrescens subsp. exasperata. Species and infraspecific taxa are described, and their ecology, relationships and phytogeography are discussed. Putative hybrids are listed.

Species Descriptions

Presented here is a taxonomic revision of the Neotropical palm genus Syagrus (Arecaceae, Arecoideae, Cocoseae, Attaleinae), which is mostly from South America and primarily from Brazil. The history of the genus is reviewed. The revision includes a key, a complete list of synonymy, species descriptions, a list of specimens, distribution maps, color plates, and a conservation assessment of each species. Included herein are 65 species, 2 subspecies, and 14 natural hybrids. Of these palms, one is new (Syagrus pimentae); three are new combinations (S. cataphracta, S. elata, S. × dickensonii); and two have changed their status (S. graminifolia subsp. graminifolia and S. graminifolia subsp. glazioviana). Of the fourteen naturally occurring hybrids, eleven have hybrid names and three do not. This revision is an important contribution to the taxonomy and identification of Syagrus species from South America and the Caribbean, and is the culmination of many years of lab and fieldwork.

Eleven Species

The family Sabellariidae is represented in Australian waters by eleven species belonging to five genera, including eight of themnew to Science: Idanthyrsus nesos n. sp., I. willora n. sp., Lygdamis wambiri n. sp., Phalacrostemma maloga n. sp., Sabellariakooraltha n. sp., S. lungalla n. sp., S. pyramis n. sp., and Tetreres terribilis n. sp. Three genera, Phalocrostemma, Sabellaria andTetreres, are newly recorded from Australia. Descriptions of all species are given, acompanied by detailed illustrations, includingdrawings, photographs and scanning electron micrographs, tables summarising specific diagnostic characters of all species ofeach genus, and distribution maps within Australia. A key to all genera worldwide and Australian species is given. Maximumparsimony analyses based on morphological features have been performed to assess the position of the new species and relation-ships with other Sabellariidae. For this purpose, the Australian species, the type species of each genus and some others species,representing the variability within each group, were incorporated into the analyses. Some of the species were recovered withinmonophyletic genera (Phalacrostemma and Tetreres), while others have been considered as member of previously recognised genera (Idanthyrsus, Lygdamis and Sabellaria) have not been assessed as monophyletic.

The purpose of this announcement is to effect the valid publication of the following new names and new combinations under the procedure described in the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision). Authors and other individuals wishing to have new names and/or combinations included in future lists should send three copies of the pertinent reprint or photocopies thereof to the IJSEM Editorial Office for confirmation that all of the other requirements for valid publication have been met. It is also a requirement of IJSEM and the ICSP that authors of new species, new subspecies and new combinations provide evidence that types are deposited in two recognized culture collections in two different countries (i.e. documents certifying deposition and availability of type strains). It should be noted that the date of valid publication of these new names and combinations is the date of publication of this list, not the date of the original publication of the names and combinations. The authors of the new names and combinations are as given below, and these authors' names will be included in the author index of the present issue and in the volume author index. Inclusion of a name on these lists validates the publication of the name and thereby makes it available in bacteriological nomenclature. The inclusion of a name on this list is not to be construed as taxonomic acceptance of the taxon to which the name is applied. Indeed, some of these names may, in time, be shown to be synonyms, or the organisms may be transferred to another genus, thus necessitating the creation of a new combination.

AbstractThe systematics of Acalymma sensu stricto of North America including Mexico are revised. Acalymma sensu stricto is defined and distinguished from the other species groups of Acalymma. Sixteen species are discussed including four new species: A. blomorum, A. palomarense, A. invenustum, and A. luridifrons all from Mexico. Three new subspecies of A. blandulum (LeConte) are described: blandulum (LeConte) new status, nigriventre, and yucatanense. Acalymma coruscum costaricense Bechyné is placed as a synonym of A. innubum (Fabricius). Keys are presented to all species and subspecies. Habitus and male genitalia drawings are given for all species and distribution maps are given where appropriate.
