Eight new species of marine algae, and one new variety, are described from the region of Monterey, California. One of them is a brown alga; the rest are red algae. New species are added to the genera Coilodesme, Peyssonelia, Rhodophysema, Halymenia, Kallymenia, Rhodymenia, Nitophyllum, and Laurencia. A new variety of Botryoglossum is proposed. Three of the new species are intertidal and the remaining species are subtidal. New combinations are made in the genera Pseudogloiophloea, Gelidium, and Iridaea.

A new species of Specklinia with a repent growth habit and minute purple flowers is described and illustrated. The new species is distinguished from Specklinia wrightii based on its morphological and molecular distinctness from that species. The phylogenetic placement of the new species is provided based on an nrITS tree. The species described here represents the first new orchid to be described from material originating from the Parc National Naturel Macaya in six years. New combinations are made in Acianthera for species of Kraenzlinella and Pleurothallis subgen. Antilla embedded within the genus. In particular Kraenzlinella rinkei is provided as a new synonym for Specklinia montezumae and Specklinia simpliciflora is transferred to Acianthera sect. Antilla based on morphology and geographic distribution.

The Australian, New Zealand and Papua New Guinean representatives of Hypogymia are reviewed. Photographs, keys and descriptions are given for the 11 species and five varieties. Two new species are described, H. enteromorphoides and H. kosciuskoensis, as well as a new variety, H. subphysodes var. austerodioides and six new combinations are made, namely H. lugubris var. sublugubris, H. lugubris var. compactior, H. pulchrilobata, H. pul- verata, H. tubularis and H. turgidula. Distribution of these taxa is discussed and maps have been provided. The species included in this revision are H. billardieri, H. enteromorphoides, H. kosciuskoensis, H. lugubris, H. mundata, H. pulchrilobata, H. pulverata, H. subphysodes, H. tubularis, H. turgidula and H. vittata.

It is herein presented Ruehssia sumiderensis as a new species known only in the Cañón del Sumidero National Park, in Chiapas, Mexico. It is illustrated with a line drawing, live images and SEM photographs of the gynostegium and pollinarium. Morphological and molecular evidence with plastid data (trnL intron and trnL-F intergenic spacer) confirms its position in Ruehssia, a recently proposed genus that includes American Marsdenieae species. It is similar to Marsdenia laxiflora and M. pinetorum due to the basally rounded or truncate leaves, rotate corolla without callous cushions in the sinuses. Two new combinations are also made in Ruehssia, for M. laxiflora and M. pinetorum.

Eleven new taxa are described from California; two species, in addition, have new varieties added to them; and two species are given new circumscriptions to include a number of entities previously known under other names. New species are described in Percursaria (Chlorophyta), in Feldmannia (Phaeophyta), and in eight genera (Membranella, Porphyra, Rhododiscus, Peyssonelia, Prionitis, Blinksia, Besa and Rhodoglossum) of Rhodophyta. Two monotypic genera of Rhodophyta are described for the first time. One, Membranella nitens, is added to the Bangiales, and the other, Blinksia californica, is the type for a new family, the Blinksiaceae (Gigartinales). Half of the species of red algae are crustose non-corallinaceous species.

The genus  Herschelia (Disinae, Orchidaceae) is revised. Sixteen species, one subspecies and one variety are recognized. Two new species from tropical Africa (H. chimanimaniensis Linder and H. praecox Linder) and a new variety from the Cape Province H. lugens (H. Bol.) Kraenzl. var. nigrescens Linder are described. Three new combinations are made by transferring the two species of Forficaria and  Disa sect. Microperistera (one species) to Herschelia. Thirteen species are illustrated, and the nomenclature and the available information about the habitats of the taxa are discussed. The species are grouped into two subgenera, one of which is further divided into two sections and four series. This classification is based on the putative phylogeny, as determined by the method devised by Wagner (1962).

An emendation of the Phacidiaceae is presented. Of 24 genera placed in the family by previous authors, only 2, Lophophacidium and Phacidium (=Phacidiostroma) are retained. Four new species are described, and three new combinations made, in Phacidium. The Apostrasseria or Ceuthospora anamorphs of six of these are also described. Phacidium symplocinum is made the type species of a new genus, Ascluella, tentatively maintained in the Dermateaceae. The new combinations, Coccomyces gaultheriae, Odontotrema sieversiae, Pseudophacidium kumaonense, and Schizoxylon hemisphaericum, are introduced.

AbstractThe new species Calvitimela austrochilenis Fryday and Tephromela superba Fryday are described: the former from several collections from southern Chile and one from Marion Island, and the latter from southern South America (including the Falkland Islands), Campbell Island, (New Zealand), and Antarctica. Four new combinations are also made in Tephromela: T. atrocaesia (Nyl. ex Cromb.) Fryday from Îles Kerguelen, Heard Island, South Georgia, and southern South America; T. atroviolacea (Flot.) Fryday from southern South America and Îles Kerguelen; T. lirellina (Darb.) Fryday from only southern South America; and T. skottsbergii (Darb.) Fryday, which is shown to be an earlier name for T. austrolitoralis (Zahlbr.) Kalb & Elix, from throughout the region. Lectotypes are selected for Lecanora atrocaesia and L. atroviolacea. The systematic placement of Tephromela eatonii (Cromb.) Hertel from Kerguelen, Marion Island and Bouvetøya is also discussed but the species is retained in Tephromela.
