Abstract—Xylophragma (Tribe Bignonieae, Bignoniaceae) includes seven species of lianas or scandent shrubs. The genus is characterized by leaves 1‐5-foliolate with a simple tendril replacing the terminal leaflet, branched trichomes, calyx usually cuspidate, pink flowers, and ovary usually lepidote. The genus is distributed through dry forests from Mexico to Paraguay and Southern Brazil. We provide the first comprehensive taxonomic treatment for Xylophragma, including a detailed description of the genus, a key for all species, complete list of synonyms, descriptions and illustrations for all species, as well as information on the geographic distribution, habitat, phenology, conservation status, and taxonomic comments for all taxa. Overall, we analyzed more than 700 sheets deposited in 13 herbaria, including types for all accepted names and synonyms. We designate lectotypes for Arrabidaea clausseni, Arrabidaea elliptica, Arrabidaea macrophylla, Rojasiophyton tuberculatum, Saldanhaea myriantha var. pubescens, and a second step lectotype for Distictis rovirosana. Four new synonyms are proposed: A. claussenii as a synonym of X. corchoroides; S. pratensis and R. tuberculatum as synonyms of X. myrianthum; and X. unifoliolatum as a synonym of X. seemannianum.

Eleven Species

The Aganisia complex (Orchidaceae, Epidendroideae, Cymbidieae, Zygopetalinae), which comprises the genera Aganisia, Cheiradenia, Koellensteinia, Otostylis and Paradisanthus, are all revised except Koellensteinia, for which a synopsis is proposed. We reviewed 109 generic, sectional, specific and infraspecific names. Of these, five are for the first time listed as names in scheda. We propose two new combinations, 17 new synonyms, 30 typifications, and two types for which the category is corrected. Doubtful, misapplied and non-applicable names are also treated. We recognize three species and two forms of Aganisia, one species of Cheiradenia and Paradisanthus, eleven species of Koellensteinia and two species Otostylis. The Aganisia complex is completely South American, with exception of K. tricolor, which also occurs in Belize, and A. pulchella, C. cuspidata and K. graminea, in Trinidad. Aganisia and Otostylis occur predominantly in lowland areas of western and northern South America; Cheiradenia in Trinidad and the Guianas Shield; Paradisanthus mainly on the coast of eastern and southern Brazil; and Koellensteinia the most widely distributed, occurring predominantly in South America strictly north of the Tropic of Capricorn. Aganisia and Cheiradenia grow in rainforests; Paradisanthus in rainforests and coastal vegetation; Otostylis in grassy areas; and Koellensteinia in all of these.

A New Species

Abstract—A synopsis of Dicliptera (Acanthaceae) for Brazil is presented. Six species are recognized: Dicliptera ciliaris, D. sexangularis, and D. squarrosa, widely distributed in South America; D. purpurascens, which ranges from the North Region of Brazil (in the state of Acre) to eastern Bolivia; D. gracilirama, a new species from the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil; and D. granchaquenha, a new species recorded in dry and semideciduous forests in Bolivia and western Brazil, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Furthermore, we propose new synonyms and designate lectotypes for eleven names. An identification key to the six accepted Dicliptera species in Brazil is provided.
