Taxonomic studies of Mimosa subser. Polycephalae revealed a new species and indicated the need for taxonomic and nomenclatural adjustments in the group. Mimosa pseudoracemosa is described and illustrated as a new species from Goiás State in central-western Brazil. We discuss its geographic distribution, environmental preferences, phenology and conservation status and compare it with the morphologically similar M. pseudoradula and M. flavocaesia. A new status for M. pseudoradula var. detonsa and a new name are proposed (= M. detonsa), including M. pseudoradula var. anapolitana and M. pseudoradula var. crystallites as its synonyms, as well an updated circumscription for M. pseudoradula without the admission of varieties. We also present descriptions, images, maps, comments on their distributions and morphological relationships, flowering and fruiting periods, and conservation statuses. In addition to the morphological and geographic discontinuities of the aforementioned taxa, their trichome micromorphology supported the establishment of the new species, as well as the taxonomic decisions involving M. pseudoradula.

Ageniella Banks is the second most diverse genus in the tribe Ageniellini (Pompilidae: Pepsinae) with about 200 valid names. Ageniella is known to be paraphyletic; yet, no revision has been made. Lack of a taxonomic catalogue and of identification keys has further delayed taxonomic studies. Additionally, many of the currently valid names should be treated as synonyms. This present study is the first attempt to organize the species of Ageniella, focusing on the species occurring in Brazil. A total of six subgenera and 40 species of Ageniella occur in Brazil. Of these, 25 species are endemic to Brazil. The new synonyms are proposed for (valid names are first): Alasagenia Banks, 1944 =Lissagenia Banks, 1946, syn. nov.; Ageniella (Alasagenia) erichsoni Banks, 1944 =Priophanes major Banks, 1945, syn. nov.; Ageniella (Ameragenia) zeteki (Banks, 1925) =Priophanes marcida Banks, 1946, syn. nov.; Ageniella (Ameragenia) agitata (Smith, 1873), comb. nov. =Salius (Priocnemis) setaceicornis Fox, 1897, syn. nov.; Ageniella (Ameragenia) sanguinolenta (Smith, 1864) =Agenia ruficeps Smith, 1864, syn. nov.; =Ageniella alternata Banks, 1946, syn. nov.; Ageniella (Priophanes) dolorosa (Banks, 1946), comb. nov. =Priophanes plagosa Banks, 1946, syn. nov.; Ageniella (Ameragenia) fabricii (Banks, 1944) =Ameragenia notabilis Banks, 1946, syn. nov. A new combination is proposed for: Ageniella (Alasagenia) cursor (Smith, 1873), comb. nov. (from Agenia Schiødte); Ageniella (Ameragenia) clypeata (Fox, 1897), comb. nov. (from Salius Fabricius), Ageniella (Ameragenia) rutila (Fox, 1897), comb. nov. (from Salius), Ageniella (Priophanes) tegularis (Fox, 1897), comb. nov. (from Salius), Ageniella (Priophanes) rufitarsis (Fox, 1897), comb. nov. (from Salius), Ageniella (Ameragenia) citricornis (Fox, 1897), comb. nov. (from Salius), Ageniella (Ameragenia) serrula (Fox, 1897), comb. nov. (from Salius), Ageniella (Priophanes) cingulata (Fox, 1897), comb. nov. (from Agenia). A new name Ageniella (Ameragenia) banksii Waichert, nom. nov. is proposed for Ameragenia festina Banks, 1946, secondary homonym of Ageniella festina Banks, 1917, and Ageniella (Priophanes) otiosa is reinstate, stat. resurr.

The taxonomic history of the genus Gracilaria in Australia is reviewed, and nine species are described and illustrated in detail. Two (G. comosa and G. stipitata) are newly described, and the new name G. cliftonii is proposed for the species previously known as G. furcellata Harvey [non G. furcellata (Montagne) Zanardini = Sarconema filiforme (Sonder) Kylin]. New records and observations are given for four species [G. harveyana J.Agardh, G. preissiana (Sonder) Womersley, G. salicornia (C.Agardh) Dawson, and G. urvillei (Montagne) Abbott in Abbott, Zhang & Xia], and two species [G. blodgettii Harvey and G. cf. vieillardii Silva in Silva, Menez & Moe] are added to the Australian flora. An additional seven or eight species that are incompletely known also occur on the continent and are briefly discussed but not illustrated. For nomenclatural and anatomical reasons we propose that G. spinulosa (Okamura) Chang & Xia forma srilankia Chang & Xia, based on G. purpurascens Harvey ex J. Agardh [non G. purpurascens (Hudson) Greville = Cystoclonium purpurascens (Hudson) Kutzing] and not yet recorded from Australia, be elevated to species status as G. srilankia (Chang & Xia) comb. nov. We propose that Gracilaria harveyana J. Agardh 1885 be conserved against Polyides flagelliformis Sonder 1845, which Professor H.B.S. Womersley has determined is an obscure but earlier name for this well-known Western Australian species.

Molecular and morpho-taxonomic studies (Schuiteman 2011, Xiang 2013, Schuiteman 2014) have established that the genus Epigeneium Gagnepain (1932: 593) forms a clade with the genus Dendrobium Swartz (1799: 82) and in view of the minor genetic and morphological differences it has been merged with the latter. Most of the names treated under Epigeneium have combinations in Dendrobium already. However, Epigeneium arunachalense Rao (2010: 3) has not yet been transferred to Dendrobium. The existence of the previously published Dendrobium arunachalense Deori, Sarma, Phukan & Mao (2006: 81) raises the need of a new name for the species.

The systematics of three species of Miconia sect. Sagraea from the Greater Antilles, which also occur in the Lesser Antilles and/or continental regions, is investigated. These taxa, representing lineages of likely independent dispersal into the Greater Antilles, are here taxonomically revised, including for each a description, nomenclatural information (including a new name, Miconia sciaphila, and two new combinations, M. berteroi and M. septuplinervia), specimen citations, and an eco-geographical characterization. These species are compared with members of two species-rich clades of sect. Sagraea of independent diversification in the Greater Antilles: the Clidemia oligantha/C. leucandra complex (comprising seven species) and the Brevicyma clade (29 species). A key to the three species, distinguishing among them and separating them from the two species-rich Greater Antillean clades is provided.

We propose Aganisia cyanea f. albiflora as a new name for Acacallis cyanea f. alba because our previously proposed Aganisia cyanea f. alba was an illegitimate homonym of Aganisia cyanea var. alba, a taxon currently recognized as Warreella cyanea f. alba.

Costus chinensis and C. oblongus (Costaceae) has been previously placed in synonymy under C. lacerus. Our critical examination of herbarium specimens including type material demonstrates that they are morphologically distinct from each other. Therefore, the independent specific status of C. chinensis and C. oblongus is reinstated. According to recent studies, Costus chinensis as well as other two Chinese species, C. oblongus and C. viridis, should be transferred to Hellenia. Thus, a new name for C. chinensis, and two new combinations are proposed. A detailed description of C. chinensis along with a distribution map of three allied species is also provided.
