A taxonomic revision of the genus Dodonaea Miller (Sapindaceae) in Australia is presented. A total of 61 native species are recognized in six infrageneric groups. Seven new species are described and illustrated: D. falcata, D. glandulosa, D. intricata, D. rigida, D. sinuolata, D. subglandulifera and D. uncinata. Two new subspecies and two new varieties are described: D. sinuolata ssp. acrodentata, D. viscosa ssp. mucronata, D. lanceolata van subsessilifolia and D. microzyga var. acrolobata. D. cuneata and D. angustissima are reduced to subspecific level in the polymorphic D. viscosa and the following subspecies are also recognized within D. viscosa: ssp. viscosa, ssp. burmanniana, spp. angustifolia and ssp. spatulata. A general key to the species, another based on vegetative features and keys to the infraspecific taxa are provided. Fruits and leaf outlines of all recognized taxa are illustrated.

Adenanthos Labill. (Proteaceae) is endemic to parts of southern Australia. The presence of morphologic diversity and plasticity within the genus has resulted in taxo- nomic uncertainty. The morphology of Adenanthos and associated terminology, as well as aspects of the history of the genus, are discussed. Adenanthos is revised taxonomically. The nomenclature of the infrageneric sections is revised, and a new subsect. Anaclastos, within sect. Adenanthos, is designated. The feminine gender is retained for the generic name. Eight new species are described: A. dobagii,A. glabrescens, A eyrei,A. oreophila,A. macropodiana.A. labillardierei,A. ileticos and A. cacomorpha. Four new subspecies are described: A. sericea subsp. sphalma, A. cygnorum subsp. chamaephyton, A. pungens subsp. effusa and A. glabrescens subsp. exasperata. Species and infraspecific taxa are described, and their ecology, relationships and phytogeography are discussed. Putative hybrids are listed.

Three New Species

New Zealand has a diverse skink fauna, comprising 45 described native species, and at least 15 undescribed taxa, within the single genus Oligosoma Girard, 1857. One of the earliest described, and best known, species is the speckled skink, Oligosoma infrapunctatum (Boulenger 1887). Despite a relatively stable taxonomic history for nearly 114 years, recent molecular work has indicated that O. infrapunctatum represents a species complex, comprising numerous genetically divergent, range restricted taxa. We completed the first stage of a taxonomic revision of O. infrapunctatum, conducting a morphological re-evaluation of existing voucher material, and newly collected specimens, and generated a molecular phylogeny for the species complex. This allowed us to distinguish six species: O. infrapunctatum, two species resurrected from synonymy (O. newmani, O. robinsoni), and three new species (O. salmo sp. nov., O. albornense sp. nov. O. auroraensis sp. nov.). The name bearing type population of O. infrapunctatum has not been located again for at least 130 years: it remains to be rediscovered and may already be extinct. Two of the six species here are considered ‘Nationally Critical’ (O. albornense sp. nov., O. salmo sp. nov.) under the New Zealand Threat Classification System, the others are Nationally Vulnerable (O. auroraensis sp. nov.) and At Risk—Relict (O. newmani, O. robinsoni). Further taxonomic work will be required to determine the taxonomy of other speckled skink genetic lineages in the South Island, particularly O. aff. infrapunctatum “cobble”, O. “Hokitika”, O. “Southern North Island” and O. “Westport”.

A taxonomic revision of Sabicea subgenus Anisophyllae (Rubiaceae), a group restricted to Central and East Africa, is presented here. This work, based on a study of herbarium specimens and field observations in Cameroon and Gabon, includes a survey of the morphological features of the group, a key to the species, descriptions of all the taxa, and IUCN conservation status assessments. Fifteen species are recognised, four of which are described as new (Sabicea mapiana, S. ndjoleensis, S. parmentierae, S. sciaphilantha), three former varieties are raised to species rank (S. crystallina, S. jacfelicis, S. tersifolia), and one species previously sunk into synonymy is restored (S. bequaertii). Two new infraspecific taxa are also described, Sabicea crystallina subsp. engongensis and S. sciaphilantha subsp. hirsuta. The group has its center of diversity in Gabon, where 10 of the 15 species occur, three of them being endemic to the country.

Subspecific Level

The species closely related to Euphorbia schinzii in subg. Euphorbia are reviewed for southern Africa. Two new species, E. pisima and E. steelpoortensis are described that are closely related to E. lydenburgensis. Euphorbia complexa is reduced to synonymy under E. schinzii. One new subspecies, E. schinzii subsp. schinzioides, is described for E. schinzii, while E. limpopoana is reduced once again to subspecific level, this time under E. schinzii as E. schinzii subsp. bechuanica. Euphorbia schinzii then has three subspecies. The concept of E. clivicola is extended to include collections from a much wider area than before. A new subspecies, E. clivicola subsp. calcritica, is described for E. clivicola. Euphorbia subsalsa subsp. fluvialis is more closely related to E. otjipembana than to E. subsalsa and consequently is changed to E. otjipembana subsp. fluvialis.

A taxonomic revision of Chloanthaceae trib. Physopsideae is provided. The tribe is endemic in Australia and comprises five genera, Dicrastylis, Lachnostachys, Mallophora, Newcastelia, Physopsis, and 48 species with 37 infraspecific taxa. The following new species are described: Dicrastylis brunnea, D. cordifolia, D. georgei, D. glauca, D. incana, D. linearifolia, D. micrantha, D. microphylla, D. morrisonii, D. obovata, D. petermannensis, D. sessilifolia, D. velutina, Mallophora rugosifolia, Newcastelia elliptica, N. interrupta and TV. velutina. The new combination of Dicrastylis corymbosa (= Mallophora corymbosa Endl.) is made. The affinities of the genera and species are discussed, and their distribution considered. A new key to the genera and species is provided and the revised description of each taxon is supplemented in most cases by a habit sketch of a flowering branch and analytical drawings of the flowers.

Two New Species

The native and naturalized species of Silene L. in southern Africa are reviewed, with full synonomy and the description of two new species from the West Coast of Western Cape. Eight native species and three naturalized species are recognized, including the first identification in southern Africa of the Mediterranean S. nocturna L. The identity of S. aethiopica Burm., which has remained unknown since its description, is established and is found to be the oldest name for S. clandestina Jacq. Patterns of morphological variation within each species are discussed and subspecies are recognized for geographically segregated groups of populations that are ± morphologically diagnosable. The following new names or combinations are made among the southern African taxa: S. aethiopica subsp. longiflora; S. burchellii subsp. modesta, subsp. multiflora, and subsp. pilosellifolia; S. crassifolia subsp. primuliflora; S. saldanhensis; S. rigens; and S. undulata subsp. polyantha. Each taxon is described, with information on ecology and distribution, and most species are illustrated, including SEM micrographs of the seeds.

Basal Branch

The aim of this study is to conduct a detailed taxonomic revision of the Poecilimon (Poecilimon) zonatus species-group (Orthoptera: Phaneropterinae) using both morphology and bioacoustics. Two new species (Poecilimon (Poecilimon) salmani, P. (P) azizsancar) and one new subspecies (P. (P) zonatus datca) are described. Based on the data, we conclude that the species complex can be separated into two subgroups (P. tauricola and P. zonatus). Within the P. zonatus subgroup, song structures indicate P. variicercis as basal branch since producing two syllable types is possibly a derived character. From both, from bioacoustics and morphology, it is concluded that the relationships between species of the group are as follows: P. tauricola subgroup (P. tauricola + P. azizsancar) + P. zonatus subgroup (P. variicercis + (P. varicornis + (P. zonatus zonatus+P. zonatus datca)) + (P. salmani+P. vodnensis)))). Except for two species (P. vodnensis and P. varicornis), the other species of the group are all distributed in Anatolia. P. vodnensis is known only from Macedonia, whereas, P. varicornis has been recorded only from Syria and Lebanon. We assume that the group originated from an Anatolian ancestral stock and expanded its distribution to the Balkans through Taurus Way and Dardanelles. Other ancestral populations may have also spread in the north-south directions through the appropriate steppe corridors in the Anatolian Diagonal Mountains and in its vicinity.
