Authors: Rowley G. D. 
Published: April 2006

SummaryRowley, G. D.: Salm‐Dyck's Catalogues. – Taxon 42: 845‐851. 1993. – ISSN 0040‐0262.A tabulation is provided of all known editions of Salm‐Dyck's catalogues and smaller publications relating to succulent plants. All are rare and some were almost unknown prior to the sale of the author's library in 1992. Their relevance is assessed to nomenclature and to the introduction of new succulents in the first half of the nineteenth century in Germany.
Reduction of Gamanthera to Licaria (Lauraceae)
Authors: Kostermans Andre J. G. H. 
Published: April 2006

SummaryKostermans, A. J. G. H.: Reduction of Gamanthera to Licaria (Lauraceae). – Taxon 42: 853‐854. 1993. – ISSN 0040‐0262.The monotypic genus Gamanthera, recently described, was based mainly on the characteristic of the fused stamens of the third, inner whorl. However, in Licaria the stamens of the third whorl are either entirely free, or partly connate or united into a staminal tube. The depicted flower of Gamanthera has a gynoecium outside the staminal whorls, but this is considered an abnormality. Gamanthera is therefore reduced to synonymy under Licaria and the necessary new combination is made.

SummaryCrespo, M. B. & Mateo, G.: The nomenclature of Erodium saxatile Pau and Erodium celtibericum Pau (Geraniaceae). ‐ Taxon 42: 96‐100. 1993. ‐ ISSN 0040‐0262.Historical and nomenclatural features are reported for two endemics from eastern Spain the names of which have been recently discussed. Erodium saxatile Pau [including E. valentinum (Lange) Greuter & Burdet] is revived for a taxon from Alicante Province, which was called Geranium saxatile but was never described by Cavanilles. E. celtibericum Pau is maintained for a taxon from Castellón Province, which was described but never named by Cavanilles. Both names are typified and their synonymies annotated.
EARLY COLLECTORS OF PLANTS FROM HONDURAS AND THE CONFUSION WITH BRITISH HONDURAS (BELIZE)
Authors: Nelson Cirilo 
Published: April 2006

SummaryAn historical account is given of plant collectors in Honduras before 1945, the year when J. Lanjouw published a short list of plant collectors for Honduras with some confusion between Honduras and British Honduras. In particular, he noted R. Temple as a collector from the Republic of Honduras and not from the British colony, now Belize.
BEYOND HYPERTAXONOMY
Authors: Frey R. 
Published: April 2006

SummaryThe paper of Skov (1989) has provoked additional comments from an everyday Macintosh user, which hopefully will help future “Hypertaxonomists” find fully adequate solutions to their needs.The use of HyperCard as a database program for taxonomic data presents one with the problems of a relatively slow program that has a limited capacity for data exchange. This should be evaluated before working with large amounts of data using this program. A combination of dBaseMac and HyperCard is recommended as a push‐button solution as easy to use as HyperTaxonomy by Skov (1989).

Databasing diversity – a distributed, public‐domain approach
Authors: Green David G. 
Published: April 2006

SummaryGreen, D. G.: Databasing diversity – a distributed, public‐domain approach. – Taxon 43: 51‐62. 1994. – ISSN 0040‐0262.Distributed, public domain databases (DPDD) offer solutions to many of the problems that hinder compilation of information on biodiversity. Existing DPDD projects on Internet, especially in molecular biology, provide relevant paradigms. The software tools necessary for world‐wide retrieval of associated text and images are all freely available on Internet. Essential features of DPDDs include universal access, decentralized maintenance of component data sets, and the use of standard, tagged formats for entries. Desirable validation protocols include cross‐checks for consistency, use of quality control tags and tracing data lineage back to specimens. These issues highlight a need for new conventions on nomenclature and for registering field keys and other secondary taxonomic indexes.

Woodson (1948‐1963). – Taxon 47: 663‐680. 1998. – ISSN 0040‐0262.During the period 1948‐1963, a minimum of 127, 108 mounted herbarium specimens were deaccessioned from the Missouri Botanical Garden Herbarium under the direction of Robert E. Woodson and distributed by exchange or sale to at least 48 botanical institutions throughout the world. Some of these specimens were true duplicates, but many, including some types, were not. In addition, an unknown quantity of specimens, numbering perhaps in the tens of thousands, was discarded. A summary of the number of specimens deaccessioned, the nature of the material sent, and the recipient institutions is presented. An account is also given of the 63,853 specimens that have been returned to the Garden and reincorporated into the collection.

Published: April 2006

SummaryLücking, R. & Kalb, K.: Echinoplaca vezdana: a new lichenised fungus. ‐ Taxon 50: 837–840. 2001. ‐ ISSN 0040‐0262.The lichenised fungus Echinoplaca vezdana from the Philippines is described and illustrated. It has a comparatively large thallus, large apothecia, and 2–4 muriform ascospores per ascus. The new taxon is closely related to E. diffluens, which differs in having transversely septate ascospores. The two species form another pair of morphologically similar taxa differing in ascospore types of which five were previously known. Echinoplaca vezdana is dedicated to Antonín Vňzda, one of the outstanding lichen taxonomists of the 20th century, on the occasion of his recent 80th birthday.
Discovering the plant world
Authors: Prance Ghillean T. 
Published: April 2006

SummaryPrance, G. T.: Discovering the plant world. – Taxon 50: 345–359. 2001. – ISSN 0040‐0262.The last fifty years have been a time of accelerated plant collection, especially in the tropics. However, this is a race against time since the destruction of natural habitats has also increased dramatically. The rate at which collecting is still adding new species of flowering plants indicates that the inventory is not nearly complete, and that the past estimates of total species numbers are low and should be increased to 320,000. The production of florulas and quantitative inventories of small areas of the tropics, accompanied by intensive fieldwork, has greatly helped to improve the level of inventory. Future collecting should be carefully targeted towards areas that are particularly threatened, such as those defined as hotspots, and also collection of rare species rather than repeated over‐collection of widely distributed common taxa. Future collecting should also gather material for ancillary studies such as molecular work and evolutionary development.

Published: April 2006

SummaryMuñoz Garmendia, F., Laíz, M. & Aedo, C: Neotypification of the name Geum pyrenaicum (Rosaceae). ‐ Taxon 47: 113–114.1998. ‐ ISSN 0040‐0262.There is no extant original material for Geum pyrenaicum Mill., a name sometimes attributed to Willdenow. Although the name has often been misapplied to the hybrid G. montanum × G. rivale by Central European authors in the past, and may have been so used by both Miller and Willdenow, its universal use for a Pyrenean‐Cantabrian endemic for 150 years makes it advisable to fix that application by designation of an appropriate neotype.
Colysis ×beddomei (Polypodiaceae, Pteridophyta): a new interspecific fern hybrid from India, Burma and China

It was first collected in south India by Beddome, before 1883, and was then assigned to Gymnopteris variabilis. The morphological variation of the hybrid is discussed on the basis of newly collected material from the same area and of herbarium specimens from Burma and China.
A chemotaxonomic and biochemical evaluation of the identity of Aloe candelabrum (Aloaceae)

Published: April 2006

SummaryViljoen, A. M., Van Wyk, B‐E., Van der Bank, H., Smith, G. F. & Van der Bank, M.: A chemotaxonomic and biochemical evaluation of the identity of Aloe candelabrum (Aloaceae). – Taxon 45: 461‐471. 1996. – ISSN 0040‐0262.In situ morphological analysis of plants from the entire distribution area supports the assumption that Aloe candelabrum, by its reproductive and vegetative characters, falls well within the taxonomic concept of A. ferox. The identical chemical composition of leaf exudate with regard to secondary compounds (chromone and anthrone derivatives) supports this conclusion. Gene products at 23 enzyme‐coding loci, analyzed by horizontal starch gel‐electrophoresis, revealed no fixed allele differences between A. candelabrum and A. ferox. The differences on which the two species were previously separated can be explained as local variation within a single and widespread taxon. A. candelabrum should therefore be subsumed under A. ferox.

A simple method for computerizing taxonomic treatments
Authors: Whittemore Alan T. 
Published: April 2006

SummaryWhittemore, A. T.: A simple method for computerizing taxonomic treatments. – Taxon 45: 503‐511. 1996. – ISSN 0040‐0262.Standard taxonomic treatments are very well adapted to computerization. A method is presented for producing taxonomic treatments using standard commercial software (spreadsheets and word processors). The data from morphological descriptions and other elements of the treatments are stored in the spreadsheet with taxa as rows and characters as columns, and the descriptions are generated using a print merge routine, available in most word processors. Departures from parallelism necessitated by structural differences between taxa or by missing data are easily accommodated using conditional statements in the print merge. Examples are given to illustrate the approach. Treatments prepared in this way are easy to edit for parallelism and internal consistency, and format changes can be entered once for incorporation throughout the treatment. This approach can be used to produce taxonomic treatments in an easily editable form, or as a framework for developing a data structure for use in a database or specialized taxonomy program.

Species of Monnina with names first published by Bonpland in Hebeandra (Polygalaceae)
Authors: Eriksen Bente 
Published: April 2006

SummaryEriksen, B.: Species of Monnina with names first published by Bonpland in Hebeandra (Polygalaceae). – Taxon 45: 631‐640. 1996. – ISSN 0040‐0262.Due to a misunderstanding new species of Monnina collected by Humboldt and Bonpland were described twice and under different generic names. In 1808 Bonpland described the genus Hebeandra to accomodate 16 new species collected by Humboldt and himself in Central and South America, ignoring the genus Monnina established by Ruiz and Pavón ten years before. Kunth, unaware of Bonpland's paper, republished the species in 1823, based on the same collections, but under Monnina. The epithets were partly those used by Bonpland, partly his own. This paper reviews the resulting nomenclatural chaos. Typification of the names involved is discussed, and lectotypes are designated when appropriate. Six traditionally accepted specific names will change unless conservation, proposed elsewhere, is granted.
Hierarchical models, reticulate evolution and the inevitability of paraphyletic supraspecific taxa
Authors: Sosef M. S. M. 
Published: April 2006

SummarySosef, M. S. M.: Hierarchical models, reticulate evolution and the inevitability of paraphyletic supraspecific taxa. – Taxon 46: 75‐85. 1997. – ISSN 0040‐0262.A phylogenetic tree can be subdivided according to a monophyletic hierarchical model, in which only monophyletic units figure, or according to a “Linnaean” hierarchical model in which both mono‐ and paraphyletic units occur. Most present‐day phylogeneticists try to fit the monophyletic model within the set of nomenclatural conventions that fit the Linnaean model. However, the two models are intrinsically incongruent. The monophyletic model requires a system of classification of its own, at variance with currently accepted conventions. Since, however, the monophyletic model is unable to cope with reticulate evolutionary relationships, it is unsuited for the classification of nature. The Linnaean model is to be preferred. This renders the acceptance of paraphyletic supraspecific taxa inevitable.
