The genus Trimelopter has been recently reinstated to include Ornithogalum unifolium and other closely related species from Southern Africa, comprising up to 10 species. Within the context of a revision of Trimelopter, a new species, T. craibii, is here formally described to name plants discovered by the late Charles Craib in the North West Province of South Africa. This taxon is closely related to T. dyeri and T. unifolium, but it can be clearly differentiated by floral and vegetative characters. Data on morphology, ecology, and distribution are reported for this new species, and affinities and divergences with other closely related taxa are also discussed. The new combination T. unifolium var. vestitum is also proposed.

As a result of a recent expedition to the north-west of Iran, we describe here a newly dicovered species, Astragalus makuensis, belonging to sect. Hymenostegis. The new species is described and illustrated with a line drawing, and compared with its most closely related species A. hymenocystis and A. pereshkhoranicus. The new species is endemic to the western Azarbayejan province of Iran.

Long-standing observations of plants named by Yu. D. Zinserling (1939) Sorbus graeca (Spach) Lodd. ex S. Schauer var. orbiculata Zinserl., nom. inval., descr. ross., and later described by us as S. umbellata (Desf.) Fritsch var. orbiculata Gabrielian (1978), allowed to identify significant additional features to clearly distinguish them from typical plants of S. graeca. We propose to consider these plants as an independent species S. orbiculata (Gabrielian) Gabrielian, comb. et stat. nov. Distinctive features of this species from S. graeca, as well as from other closely related species S. umbellata and S. taurica Zinserl. are shown.

AbstractParmeliella zeylanica is described as a new species in the P. mariana group, although it differs from all known species in the group by not having radiating marginal lobes resting on a distinct mat of rhizohyphae. It is as yet known only from the highlands of Sri Lanka. The new combination Parmeliella leiostroma (Nyl.) P. M. Jørg. is made for a closely related species from the same region, and it is shown that Parmeliella endomilta var. achromatica Makhija & Adawara falls within the variation of Parmeliella mariana (Fr.) P. M.Jørg. & D. J. Galloway, and is not closely related to P. endomilta.

Two closely related species of the genus Macrargus Dahl, 1886, Macrargus boreus Holm, 1968 and M. multesimus (O.-P. Cambridge, 1875), are redescribed and illustrated in detail.

Haroldius lyleae Daniel, Strümpher & Snäll, new species, is described and illustrated from South Africa. The new species can be easily distinguished from other species of the genus by its notable triangular clypeus lacking the distinctive mid-anterior indentation and denticles present in other Haroldius Boucomont, 1914 species. Monomorium albopilosum Emery, 1895 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Myrmicinae) is recorded as a possible ant host of the new species. Haroldius modestus (Janssens, 1953) is recorded from Zimbabwe for the first time, and Haroldius convexus (Philips & Scholtz, 2000) is now recorded from the North West and KwaZulu-Natal Provinces of South Africa as well.

A very small species Euphorbia minuscula (Euphorbiaceae) belonging to subg. Esula is described from the southern, coastal part of South Africa. A key to the closely related species is provided and a new name, E. dumosoides, is published for the illegitimate Euphorbia dumosa E. Mey. ex Boissier. Lectotypes are designated for four names. The synonymy of E. natalensis is extended to include E. epicyparissias and E. crebrifolia.
