This paper addresses typification of species and infraspecific taxa in the genus Urospatha Schott. Thirteen lectotypifications, one neotypification, and corrections for two type localities are presented and discussed. Additionally, U. friedrichsthaliana Schott (a probable synonym of Sagittaria latifolia Willd.) is lectotypified.

Abstract The collection which belonged to the Prof. Ioan Nemeș (1924-2009), currently curated at the Museum of Natural Sciences Dorohoi (Botoșani County), is one of the most important and valuable collections of Lepidoptera preserved in a Romanian museum. Within this collection, a number of 47 type specimens have been identified, on which the descriptions of 28 species and other infraspecific taxa from 5 Lepidoptera families: Nepticulidae, Coleophoridae, Tortricidae, Crambidae and Geometridae have been based. All these specimens were collected from the territory of Romania. Some of the identified type specimens belong to taxa with doubtful status, whose original descriptions are poor and superficial. The discovery of these type specimens finally allowed assessing the status of several taxa, and the following new synonymies are proposed: Ancylis uncella (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1933) = Ancylis bucovinella Peiu & Nemeş, 1969 nov. syn.; Epiblema foenella (Linnaeus, 1758) = Epiblema foenella f. fracta Popescu-Gorj & Nemeş, 1965 nov. syn.; Pelochrista decolorana ( Freyer, 1842) = Pseudeucosma alexinschiana Peiu & Nemeş, 1968 nov. syn.; Nascia cilialis ( Hübner, 1 796) = Calamotropha olarui Nemeş, 1972 nov. syn.; Scopula (Calothysanis) subpunctaria (Herrich-Schäffer, 1847) = Scopula peiui Olaru, 1973 nov. syn.; Idaea pallidata (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) = Sterrha constantineanui Olaru, 1973 nov. syn.; Idaea elongaria (Rambur, 1833) = Sterrha nemesi Olaru, 1973 nov. syn.

On the base of a critical review of the material kept in the most of main European and some Asian Herbaria, a synopsis of the genus Stachys L. section Satureoides R. Bhattacharjee is given. The description of the section is enlarged (calyx 5–10(15)-veined, upper floral leaves often with short spinescent tip, stamens slightly exserted from the corolla tube). The section is represented by 4 species distributed in Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran. The keys for determination of its species and infraspecific taxa are compiled. The data on main synonyms, ecology, geographical distribution and types are given. The lectotypes of S. satureioides Montbret et Aucher ex Benth., S. ramosissima Montbret et Aucher ex Benth., S. burgsdorffioides (Benth.) Boiss. and S. burgsdorffioides subsp. ladanoides Hand.-Mazz. are designated.

Las islas flotantes son un tipo de humedal artificial en donde se instalan macrófitos emergentes sobre estructuras flotantes y son utilizadas en fitodepuración, paisajismo y proyectos de conservación. Con el objetivo de aumentar las especies de la colección viva, embellecer los cuerpos de agua y contribuir a los procesos de conservación, en el Jardín Botánico de Bogotá (Colombia) se evaluó el establecimiento de 12 especies de plantas acuáticas presentes en Cundinamarca sobre un nuevo diseño de estructura flotante. Se construyeron tres estructuras flotantes octagonales con materiales reciclables y de bajo costo, con un área de 1.51 m2 en donde se plantaron 141 individuos de: Cuphea racemosa (L.f.) Spreng., Eleocharis dombeyana Kunth, Equisetum bogotense Kunth, Hydrocotyle leucocephala Cham. & Schltdl., Hydrocotyle mexicana Cham. & Schltdl., Hydrocotyle sp., Juncus microcephalus Kunth, Ludwigia peruviana (L.) H.Hara, Osmunda regalis L., Plantago australis Lam., Polytrichadelphus longisetus (Brid.) Mitt. y Sagittaria latifolia Willd. Para evaluar el establecimiento de las plantas se tomaron fotografías desde el plano cenital y se usó una clasificación supervisada de tipo likelihood para cuantificar la cobertura vegetal a las 6, 23 y 44 semanas. También se evaluó el porcentaje de supervivencia y la presencia de brotes. Luego de 44 semanas se encontró una respuesta diferencial en las especies, siendo O. regalis y L. peruviana las que presentaron los mejores resultados.

The species diversity and changes in the structural dynamics of the algal flora from the alpine lake Nesamovyte has been studied for 100 years. During the period of investigations, 234 species (245 infraspecific taxa) were revealed to cover more than 70% of the modern species composition of the studied lake. The modern biodiversity of algae is characterized by an increase in the number of widespread forms, a change from the baseline “montane” complex in comparison to the beginning of the 20th century. Nevertheless, the Nesamovyte Lake still has a unique algae composition that is typical for high-mountainous European lakes. The presence of a different complex of conventionally arctic species of algae, in particular, diatoms is discussed. Structural changes in the taxonomic composition of the algal flora of the lake as well as in the complex of the leading genera, species and their diversity are revealed. An ecological analysis of the algal species composition of the lake showed vulnerability and degradation to the ecosystem of the lake. On this basis, the issue regarding the question of protection and preservation of the algae significance and uniqueness of the flora of algae in the Nesamovyte Lake are discussed.
