Alterations for the year 1986 to the inventory maintained in PRECIS are reported for bryophytes, pteridophytes and monocotyledons, and for a few dicotyledons. For the cryptogams and monocots there are 77 newly described species or infraspecific taxa, 27 names brought back into use, and nine species newly reported for southern Africa, resulting in 113 additions to the total list of species. Five species were removed because they were mistakenly recorded from the area. Seventy-five names have gone into synonymy, there are 52 new combinations, and there are 35 orthographic corrections, resulting in 237 alterations to the list of species. The total of 355 additions, deletions and alterations represents about 5% of the total species and infraspecific taxa for the cryptogams and monocots.

Alterations to the inventory of about 24 000 species and infraspecific taxa of bryophytes and vascular plants in southern Africa are reported for the year 1987. The inventory, as presently maintained in the Taxon component of the PRECIS system, contains the accepted name for each taxon, synonyms previously in use as accepted names during the past half-century, and literature references necessary to identify species in each genus and to establish the synonymy. The inventory is updated as new research affecting plant classification in southern Africa is published. During 1987 there were 678 alterations, representing about 2,8% of the total number of taxa.a

K.Koch (section Gerontogeae Engl.). An annotated list of all the accepted 111 species and 28 fiirther infraspecific taxa in Searsia is presented, and where necessary, new combinations are made and types are designated.

Recent molecular phylogenetic studies showed that the genus Sansevieria (excluding S. sambiranensis) forms a monophyletic clade nested within the paraphyletic genus Dracaena. Consequently, the genus Sansevieria was sunk into the genus Dracaena and new combinations were published to accommodate the transfer of taxa from Sansevieria into Dracaena. Since the inclusion of Sansevieria into Dracaena, new taxa have been published in Sansevieria. This paper presents fourteen name changes including twelve new combinations in Dracaena and two rank adjustments, one new synonym, and one lectotypification aiming at further standardisation of the taxonomy of Dracaena.

The Subject

The genus Melaleuca currently is the subject of taxonomic revision. In this paper, the 219 Australian and Tasmanian species of Melaleuca sens. Austral. auctt. that are considered to represent Melaleuca are listed together with their infraspecific taxa, taxonomic and nomenclatural synonyms are given, and new names resulting from changes in taxonomic rank and/or the recognition of new taxa are validated. Identification keys are also provided. Of the new names, 48, 3 and 2 result from the recognition of new species, new subspecies and new varieties, respectively, 7 from new combinations and 1 from the provision of a new name. An invalidly published name is validated. The epithet and authority of new taxa are: amydra Craven, apodocephala subsp. calcicola Barlow ex Craven, barlowii Craven, beardii Craven, boeophylla Craven, borealis Craven, brophyiCraven, caeca Craven, calyptroides Craven, campanae Craven, carrii Craven, clavifolia Craven, condylosa Craven, croxfordiae Craven, delta Craven, eulobata Craven, eurystoma Barlow ex Craven, fabri Craven, glena Craven, grieveana Craven, halophila Craven, hnatiukii Craven, hollidayi Craven, huttensis Craven, idana Craven, johnsonii Craven, keigheryi Craven, laetifica Craven, lara Craven, leuropoma Craven, linguiformis Craven, longistaminea subsp. spectabilis Barlow ex Craven, orbicularis Craven, papillosa Turcz. ex Craven, pentagona var. raggedensis Craven, phoidophylla Barlow ex Craven, plumea Craven, podiocarpa Barlow ex Craven, procera Craven, ryeae Craven, sapientes Craven, similis Craven, societatis Craven, stereophloia Craven, stramentosa Craven, thapsina Craven, tinkeri Craven, tuberculata var. macrophylla Craven, venusta Craven, villosisepala Craven, viminea subsp. demissa Quinn ex Craven, wonganensis Craven, zonalis Craven; of new combinations: dempta (Barlow) Craven, eximia (K.J.Cowley) Craven, longistaminea (F.Muell.) Barlow ex Craven, monantha (Barlow) Craven, penicula (K.J.Cowley) Craven, tuberculata var. arenaria (C.A.Gardner) Craven, virgata (Benth.)
