As a result of recent molecular and morphological evidence (Simões et al. 2015), Merremia Dennstedt ex Endlicher (1841: 1403) was recircumscribed, and most of the species transferred to Camonea Rafinesque (1838: 81), Decalobanthus Ooststroom (1936: 99) and Distimake Rafinesque (1838: 82) by Simões & Staples (2017). During our studies of Distimake and Merremia s.l. from America, we noted that nine species and two varieties that had not been transferred to Distimake clearly fitted Distimake as proposed by Simões & Staples (2017) by possessing the following characters: compound or deeply lobed leaves (exceptionally entire leaves occur), calyces with sepals appressed to the corolla, white or yellow, glabrous corollas, and tricolpate pollen. In the context of our ongoing taxonomic studies in the genus Distimake, the formal transfer of a number of species into this genus is necessary. Lectotypes are designated following the International Code of Nomenclature (ICN) (McNeill et al. 2012).

We propose emendation of Rule 27(2)(b) of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes so that for new combinations the basonym and its reference must be given. We also propose minor changes to Note 1 and Note 2 of Rule 27.

The creation of the International Fossil Plant Names Index (IFPNI, 2014 onwards) with the aim of listing of all fossil plant species reveals a few new cases of homonymy between fossil and extant species. In the present paper there are proposed two new combinations in Hemitrapa Miki (1941: 289) and four replacing names for later homonyms of Trapa Linnaeus (1753: 120) that are illegitimate (Art. 53.1 of the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi and Plants—ICN, McNeill et al., 2012).

Abstract—A synoptic revision of the genus Epistephium in Colombia based on morphological evidence is presented for the first time. A total of 19 species gathered in 3 morphological groups are currently recognized in the country, including two new records: E. ellipticum and E. sclerophyllum. Morphological characteristics of all the species are presented and illustrated by line drawings of their perianth segments, except E. lamprophyllum. An original key to the identification of Epistephium species reported in Colombia is provided along with information on their ecology, habitat, and geographical range. Epistephium amplexicaule is lectotypified based on Article 9.3 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants as this name was published without a holotype.

The value of Kalm's specimens as nomenclatural types of Linnaean species of grasses is evaluated with special reference to a number of species previously typified. A number of these species are retypified according to the "Guide for determination of types" given in the International Code of Nomenclature. As a result of this study one new combination: Trichachne nutans (L.) Baum is made and several other changes in nomenclature are suggested.

AbstractA revised version of Chapter F of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants is presented, incorporating amendments approved by the Fungal Nomenclature Session of the 11th International Mycological Congress held in San Juan, Puerto Rico in July 2018. The process leading to the amendments is outlined. Key changes in the San Juan Chapter F are (1) removal of option to use a colon to indicate the sanctioned status of a name, (2) introduction of correctability for incorrectly cited identifiers of names and typifications, and (3) introduction of option to use name identifiers in place of author citations. Examples have been added to aid the interpretation of new Articles and Recommendations, and Examples have also been added to the existing Art. F.3.7 concerning the protection extended to new combinations based on sanctioned names or basionyms of sanctioned names (which has been re-worded), and to Art. F.3.9 concerning typification of names accepted in the sanctioning works.

Recently, articles were published in this journal in which new combinations were published based on basonyms that were not validly published at the time of submission, or a name not yet validly published was proposed as a later heterotypic synonym of another name. We here wish to remind authors and editors of the relevant rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes that regulate the procedure for valid publication of names and specifically, of the fact that names in online pre-publication articles in the journal’s website are not validly published.

Most recent studies support a broad circumscription of the Neotropical genus Myrcia De Candolle (1827: 401), now including species previously recognised in Calyptranthes Swartz (1788: 79) and Marlierea Cambessèdes (1833: 373) based on molecular and morphological evidence (e.g. Lucas et al. 2011, 2018, Lourenço 2015, Staggemeier et al. 2015, Wilson et al. 2016, Santos et al. 2017, Amorim et al. 2019). The majority of the consequent nomenclatural changes were made (e.g. Lucas et al. 2016, Lourenço et al. 2018, Campbell et al. 2019), but as an unfortunate consequence of large-scale taxonomic manoeuvering, some replacement names have been found superfluous according to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Turland et al. 2018). The Code stipulates that the correct name of a species must be composed of the currently accepted genus and the epithet of the earliest legitimate name published for the taxon. When the combination that would result from a direct transfer is not available (i.e., it has already been published before), then the next earliest legitimate epithet applied to the species, from any of the genera implicated, should be used instead (Art. 14.1). Under this rule, a new name must be published for a species only when none of the epithets of its legitimate names are available for a combination in the accepted genus. Necessary corrections have already been made by Lima et al. (2020) and Lourenço et al. (2020), and two further adjustments are here proposed for names published by Lucas et al. (2016). Unless specified, digital images of all specimens cited below were viewed for this work.

In our recently published monograph of the Octopleura clade of Miconia Ruiz & Pavón (1794: 60, Gamba & Almeda 2014) we proposed a number of new combinations and new names to reflect the nested position of this assemblage of 33 species within the large and diverse Neotropical genus Miconia based on morphological and molecular data sets. In proposing the new name, Miconia magnifolia Gamba & Almeda (2014: 91), we overlooked the epithet of a heterotypic synonym that should have been adopted. Miconia magnifolia is therefore illegitimate and nomenclaturally superfluous according to Article 52.1 of the International Code of Nomenclature (McNeill et al. 2012) and is to be rejected because it included the type of a heterotypic synonym whose epithet was available and not already pre-empted in Miconia.

In the present paper, I propose three new combinations in Guarianthe as a result of finding previously ignored binomials and correct misinterpretation of the articles on hybrid names of the International Code of Nomenclature. The correct names for the species and nothospecies up to now known as Guarianthe patinii and Guarianthe ×guatemalensis are, respectively, Guarianthe hennisiana and Guarianthe ×laelioides. The infraspecific combination Guarianthe ×laelioides f. pachecoi is proposed for Cattleya pachecoi. Finally I propose lectotypes for several names.

Rejection (nomen rejiciendum) of the name Borreliella and all new combinations therein is being requested on grounds of risk to human health and patient safety (Principle 1, subprinciple 2 and Rule 56a) and violation to aim for stability of names, to avoid useless creation of names (Principle 1, subprinciple 1 and 3) and that names should not be changed without sufficient reason (Principle 9 of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes).
