Authors: Jury Stephen L. , Ibbett Geoffrey P. 
Published: April 2006

SummaryThe purchase of a Sirius microcomputer by the Taxonomy section of the Plant Science Laboratories, University of Reading, England, has enabled the workload associated with the annual Index Seminum to be considerably eased. It is now managed by a single part‐time trainee technician. One program stores all data and enables catalogue production, stock control and all addresses to be easily maintained.
THE NOMENCLATURE OF PONDCYPRESS AND BALDCYPRESS (TAXODIACEAE)
Authors: Watson F. D. 
Published: April 2006

SummaryA taxonomic and nomenclatural study of pondcypress and baldcypress in the southeastern United States revealed the misapplication of a name. When pondcypress is treated as a variety rather than as a separate species, it should be referred to Taxodium distichum var. imbricarium (Nutt.) Croom rather than the commonly used var. nutans (Ait.) Sweet. The latter is placed in synonymy with the typical variety.
THE CORRECT NAMES OF THE GENERA IN THE SUBTRIBE DOROTHEANTHINAE (MESEMBRYANTHEMACEAE)
Authors: Struck M. , Ihlenfeldt H.‐D. 
Published: April 2006

SummaryThe nomenclatural problems of two annual genera of Mesembryanthemaceae are due to the fact that the herbarium sheet, on which the description of the genus Cleretum N. E. Br. was based, contains parts belonging to two different genera. The names Cleretum N. E. Br. and Dorotheanthus Schwantes are determined to be correct; Micropterum Schwantes is a later synonym of Cleretum N. E. Br.
THE PUBLICATION DATES OF THE BULLETIN DE LA SOCIÉTÉ BOTANIQUE DE FRANCE (VOLS. 26‐40, 1879‐1893)
Authors: Leussink Jan A. 
Published: April 2006

SummaryThe publication dates of the instalments of Vols. 26‐40 of the Bulletin de la Société botanique de France belong to two different types. Dates for most fascicles of Vols. 26‐32 could be reconstructed on the basis of internal and/or external evidence from several sources. For all fascicles of Vols. 33‐40, as well as for some of Vols. 28‐32, correct publication dates are available. The editors of the journal recorded those dates on the title‐page of the cover of each instalment. In the present paper, for each of Vols. 26‐40, the publication dates of the instalments, as well as some other bibliographical details, are assembled in a table.As was shown for Vols. 1‐25 in a previous paper, in Vols. 26‐40 too the year of publication on the title‐page of the volume is unreliable. For each volume some instalments were published in the next year only. During a calendar‐year temporal overlap of successive volumes often occurred. The usual sequence of binding of the instalments of a volume differs from their original sequence of publication.
ECHUES ANTIDYSENTERICA (L.) ROXB. EX FLEMING AND HOLARRHENA ANTIDYSENTERICA (L.) WALL., VALIDLY PUBLISHED SYNONYMS OF WALLIDA ANTIDYSENTERICA
Authors: Panigrahi G. 
Published: April 2006

SummaryNerium antidysentericum L. (1753), through partial lectotypification, by R. Brown (1810a), with Herb. Hermann, vol. 4: 76 (BM), has been treated, of late, as the basionym of Wrightia antidysenterica (L.) R. Br. [= Walidda antidysenterica (L.) M. Pichon], a species endemic to Sri Lanka. Although Wallich (Num. List No. 1672. 1829) explicitly excluded Hermann (Ceylonese) material from Holarrhena antidysenterica (L.) Wall. [‘Echites (antidysenterica) (L.) Roxb. haud Wrightia antidysenterica R. Br.‘], the current consensus is to accept R. Brown's earlier lectotypification, as it is not in conflict with Art. 8.1. Consequently, Echites antidysenterica (L.) Roxb. ex Fleming (1810), non sensu Fleming, E. antidysenterica (L.) Roxb. (1814), non sensu Roxb., as also Holarrhena antidysenterica (L.) Wall. (1829), non sensu Wall., are reduced here as nomenclatural synonyms (≡) of Walidda antidysenterica (L.) M. Pichon (Art. 7.10; Art. 55.2). Since E. antidysenterica Roth (1819) is nom. illeg. (Art. 64.1), the next available name for the widespread Indian taxon is Echites pubescens Buch.‐Ham. (1822) [=Holarrhena pubescens (Buch.‐Ham.) Wall. ex G. Don (1838)].
MICROCHARACTERS AS GENERIC MARKERS IN THE EUPATORIEAE
Authors: Scott Randall W. 
Published: April 2006

SummaryA study of microcharacters (as viewed with the compound light microscope) in the Eupatorieae was undertaken in order to evaluate their reliability as taxonomic markers. Character states of various microcharacters are widely distributed within the Eupatorieae. Correlations between microcharacters and yet other characters were used in order to evaluate their applicability in delimiting genera. A high degree of such correlation was found in some species groups, suggesting that microcharacters are useful and consistent markers among such taxa, whereas in other groups they may be of little value.
SECTIONAL NOMENCLATURE IN SOLANUM (SOLANACEAE)
Authors: Knapp Sandra 
Published: April 2006

THE NUMERICAL TAXONOMY OF SOME SPECIES OFPOPULUSBASED ONLY ON VEGETATIVE CHARACTERS
Authors: Hu Chia‐chi , Crovello Theodore J. , Sokal Robert R. 
Published: April 2006

SummaryThis study examines whether a satisfactory classification can be obtained from phenetic clustering of herbarium specimens based on vegetative characters alone. Twelve leaf and twig characters of 731 specimens in 13 taxa within the genusPopulusL. were subjected to standard numerical phenetic techniques. A classification based on character means for each taxon corresponded well to the established classification. Another classification based on 68 individual specimens, while showing considerable phenetic affinities of putatively related individuals, yielded an overall unsatisfactory classification. Some sections of the genus were easier to delimit by vegetative characters than others.

THE PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIP OF OPHIOGLOSSACEAE
Authors: Kato Masahiro 
Published: April 2006

SummaryThe systematic position of Ophioglossaceae was examined using available evidence from recent anatomical and morphological studies. Although the Ophioglossaceae are free‐sporing vascular plants like the Filicopsida, and are therefore commonly placed in that group, the character correlation of eustelic or sympodial primary vascular system of stem, the presence of vascular cambium, periderm, circular bordered‐pitted tracheids, the anatomy of axillary branching, solitary sporangia, and also noncircinate vernation indicate a relationship of the family with the progymnosperm‐seed plant line. It is suggested that the Ophioglossaceae are living progymnosperms and, among extant seed plants, the family is most closely related to Cycadopsida, both having large, fernlike leaves. It is pointed out that the Ophioglossaceae resemble glossopterid gymnosperms in the three‐dimensional structure of their leaves with epiphyllous sporophores.
SECTIONAL NOMENCLATURE IN TARAXACUM (ASTERACEAE)
Authors: Richards Adrian John 
Published: April 2006

SummaryThe nomenclature and typification of the sections in the genus Taraxacum Wigg. are discussed. The genus is typified by a specimen of Leontodon taraxacum from Linnaeus' Flora Lapponica for which the modern synonym is T. campylodes Hagl. This becomes the type of T. officinale Weber, and T. sect. Crocea M. P. Christiansen to which T. campylodes was assigned becomes a synonym of T. sect. Taraxacum. It is considered that the sections and subsections published by Handel‐Mazzetti (1907) are validated in the table of contents in that work. The problems resulting from the earlier use of species in two different rank concepts in this largely agamospermous genus are highlighted, as are early incorrect citations, and recent transgressions of the ICBN. The sections of the genus are listed in full, with type species and synonymy. Two new sections are described, T. sect. Borea Sahlin and T. sect. Celtica Richards and Sahlin.
FLORA OF VERACRUZ PROJECT: AN UPDATE ON DATABASE MANAGEMENT OF COLLECTIONS AND RELATED INFORMATION
Authors: Gómez‐Pompa Arturo , Moreno Nancy P. , Sosa Victoria , Giddings Lorrain , Soto Margarita 
Published: April 2006

SummaryThe newly implemented curatorial type database system for the Flora of Veracruz project (Veracruz, Mexico) is described. The system consists of a main database containing over 80,000 entries from collections made in Veracruz, housed in several herbaria, and accessory bases containing a species checklist for Veracruz, standardized author abbreviations, and geographic localities in the state. The system permits on‐line data entry or multiple access consultation, and is also used for the production of herbarium labels. Distribution maps are prepared automatically using the latitude and longitude provided by each record.
TAXONOMIC AND NOMENCLATURAL NOTES ON CLARKIA SECT. PHAEOSTOMA LEWIS & LEWIS (ONAGRACEAE)
Authors: Holsinger Kent E. 
Published: April 2006

SummaryIn the course of a phenetic study of Clarkia unguiculata Lindley and its relatives, nomenclatural problems concerning the typification of the genus Phaeostoma Spach and the typification of Clarkia sect. Phaeostoma Lewis & Lewis were discovered. Solutions to these problems are proposed here. In addition, two subsections within C. sect. Phaeostoma are described to accommodate two very distinct entities within this section: C. xantiana A. Gray and the C. unguiculata group.
Cladistics and the Chrysobalanaceae
Authors: Chappill Jennifer A. 
Published: April 2006

SummaryChappill, J. A.: Cladistics and the Chrysobalanaceae. ‐ Taxon 41: 211–223. 1992. ‐ ISSN 0040‐0262.In a recent monograph on the Chrysobalanaceae, by Prance & White, a number of analytical methods currently employed by systematists, in particular cladistic analysis and vicariance biogeography, were criticised and dismissed as not being biologically informative. The criticisms made are discussed here, in particular the problems caused by parallelism, the detection, selection and coding of characters, and the role of functional considerations in systematics. A phylogenetic analysis is performed using the data presented in the monograph and this is compared with the classification of the Chrysobalanaceae presented by Prance & White. Some possible reasons for the discrepancies between the two are discussed.

SummaryNelson, E. C. & Parnell, J.: Flora Hibernica (1836): Its publication, and aftermath as viewed by Dr. Thomas Taylor. ‐ Taxon 41: 35–42. 1992. ‐ ISSN 0040‐0262.Flora Hibernica by J. T. Mackay, T. Taylor and W. H. Harvey was published on 15 June 1836 in Dublin. Although well received by botanists, the number of copies sold was small. Taylor was critical of the book, especially of Harvey's treatment of the algae, and he tried unsuccessfully to persuade Mackay to published a revised, less bulky edition which could be sold at a lower price.
Studies on the genus Asterella P. Beauv. (Hepaticae). I. Nomenclatural history
Authors: Long David G. , Grolle Riclef 
Published: April 2006

SummaryLong, D. G. & Grolle, R.: Studies on the genus Asterella P. Beauv. (Hepaticae). I. Nomenclatural history. ‐ Taxon 41: 65–69. 1992. ‐ ISSN 0040‐0262.Asterella P. Beauv. has been used for two different genera of Hepaticae, represented by the two protologue elements: Marchantia tenella L. and M. hemisphaerica L. Typification by M. tenella L., implied by Raddi's segregation of M. hemisphaerica L. as a unispecific genus “Rebouillia” in 1818, was first formally proposed by Evans in 1923. Unfortunately, Asterella had been effectively typified by the second element, M. hemisphaerica L., long before this, by Leman in 1823. Conservation with Evans's type is needed. Fimbraria Nees, an illegitimate later homonym of the algal Fimbriaria Stackh., and Hypenantron Corda are later synonyms of Asterella, if conserved as proposed.

Assessment of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) as genetic markers for determining the origin of interspecific lilac hybrids
Authors: Marsolais J. V. , Pringle J. S. , White B. N. 
Published: April 2006

SummaryMarsolais, J. V., Pringle, J. S. & White, B. N.: Assessment of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) as genetic markers for determining the origin of interspecific lilac hybrids. – Taxon 42: 531–537. 1993. – ISSN 0040‐0262.RAPD markers were used to assess the relationship among species, cultivars and hybrids of lilacs. Thirteen random primers were used to examine 87–130 bands per cultivar or hybrid. The percent band sharing among Syringa xchinensis ‘Alba’, S. xchinensis ‘Saugeana’, S. xchinensis ‘Red Rothomagensis’ and S. xpersica, was surprisingly high (98.3 % to 99.6 %), supporting the theory that S. xpersica has the same species parentage as the three S. xchinensis hybrids, but also indicating that all four are of different clonal origin since they do not share 100 % of their bands. The percent band sharing among the hybrids and their putative parental species, S. vulgaris L. (3 selections) and S. protolaciniata P. S. Green & M. C. Chang (2 selections), were also determined. On average the first shared 48.9 % of their bands with the hybrids, and the second shared 50.7 %, thus strongly supporting the postulated parentage. Most bands found in the hybrids were shared with at least one of the selections, but 11 bands were found exclusively in all four hybrids. They might either represent genetic characteristics specific to these hybrids or might indicate that the exact parental selection combination has not yet been studied. The two studied selections of S. protolaciniata shared only 90,7 % of their bands, thus confirming that they are of different provenances. It is felt that RAPD markers will be very useful for assessing the origin of cultivars and hybrids of many plant species.

THE CORRECT NAME FOR THE PLANT KNOWN AS PLUCHEA SYMPHYTIFOLIA (MILLER) GILLIS (ASTERACEAE)
Authors: Khan Ronaq , Jarvis C. E. 
Published: April 2006

SummaryThe combination Pluchea symphytifolia (Miller) Gillis resulted from an erroneous interpretation of the original material apparently associated with the name Conyza symphytifolia Miller. Comparison of the material regarded as the lectotype by Gillis with both Miller's original description and Houstoun's manuscript which accompanied the accession shows that Gillis' typification is incorrect. Accordingly his combination cannot apply to the taxon known formerly (and correctly) as Pluchea carolinensis (Jacquin) G. Don. Conyza symphytifolia is typified, the name falling into the synonymy of Neurolaena lobata (L.) Cassini.

The role of creative monography in the biodiversity crisis
Authors: Stuessy Tod F. 
Published: April 2006

SummaryStuessy, T. F.: The role of creative monography in the biodiversity crisis.. —Taxon42: 313–321. 1993. — ISSN 0040–0262.The increasing size and activities of the human population have resulted in pressure on the survival of other life forms. In the face of extinction of many of these organisms, we need to learn as much about them as quickly as possible. One level of understanding can be achieved through monographic studies, which contain basic descriptive information about organisms and their distributions. Monographs also contain predictive classifications and usually also evolutionary and biogeographic hypotheses for use by systematic biologists and society in general. The current rate of disappearance of the world's biota suggests need for increased levels of creative monographic activity. Funding for botanical monography in the United States, however, is declining, and fewer graduate students are being trained with these interests and skills. Large‐scale monographic projects with established workers and postdoctoral associates together focusing on large taxa (i.e., 50–100 species) are advocated as one solution to the problem.
