The genus Ceratozamia is revised for the Sierra Madre Oriental in Mexico. This region is one of the biogeographic areas with the greatest diversity of species in this genus. These species are highly variable morphologically and this variability has led to a complex taxonomic history with many synonyms, particularly with reference to C.mexicana. We present a comprehensive taxonomic revision with history of nomenclature and the morphology, relationships, distribution and use of these species. We also introduce a key for their identification, descriptions, full synonymy, nomenclatural notes, etymologies and neotypes as well as taxonomic comments describing relevant taxonomic changes. We recognise fourteen species in this biogeographic province: C.brevifrons, C.chamberlainii, C.decumbens, C.delucana, C.fuscoviridis, C.hildae, C.kuesteriana, C.latifolia, C.mexicana, C.morettii, C.sabatoi, C.tenuis, C.totonacorum and C.zaragozae. This study provides a foundation for future taxonomic work in Neotropical species of Ceratozamia.

We provide a taxonomic review of the “browni group”, a cloud forest lineage of the diverse lycaenid butterfly genus Penaincisalia, distributed from Costa Rica to northern Argentina. The group is characterized on the basis of five characters provided by wing shape, forewing androconia and genital structures. We distinguish eight species in the group: P. browni (Johnson, 1992), P. caeruleonota Hall & Willmott, 2005; P. cuiva Prieto & Rodriguez, 2007; P. magnifica (Johnson, 1992), P. purpurea (Johnson, 1992), P. saraha (Johnson, 1992), P. vittata (Johnson, 1992) and P. regala (Le Crom & Johnson, 1997). We confirm their status as presented in the recent Checklist of Neotropical Butterflies (Robbins, 2004), except for P. regala which is reinstated to species status from synonymy. The taxonomic history of each species with references to type material is provided. Every species is diagnosed, male and female phenotypes are associated, described and data on their distribution and biology are given. If relevant the variability of the species is discussed.

The taxonomic history of Boesenbergia (Zingiberaceae) in China is reviewed. Based on field observations and herbarium specimen studies, a comprehensive taxonomic revision of Chinese Boesenbergia is carried out. The results suggest that those specimens previously misidentified as B. longiflora and B. fallax in China should be either B. maxwellii or B. kingii. Boesenbergia maxwellii is newly recorded for the country. Altogether, four species are recognized for China. Keys, descriptions, distributions and illustrations of all recognized species are presented.

Verticillium wilts are important vascular wilt diseases that affect many crops and ornamentals in different regions of the world. Verticillium wilts are caused by members of the ascomycete genus Verticillium, a small group of 10 species that are related to the agents of anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum species. Verticillium has a long and complicated taxonomic history with controversies about species boundaries and long overlooked cryptic species, which confused and limited our knowledge of the biology of individual species. We first review the taxonomic history of Verticillium, provide an update and explanation of the current system of classification and compile host range and geographic distribution data for individual species from internal transcribed spacer (ITS) GenBank records. Using Verticillium as an example, we show that species names are a poor vehicle for archiving and retrieving information, and that species identifications should always be backed up by DNA sequence data and DNA extracts that are made publicly available. If such a system were made a prerequisite for publication, all species identifications could be evaluated retroactively, and our knowledge of the biology of individual species would be immune from taxonomic changes, controversy and misidentification. Adoption of this system would improve quarantine practices and the management of diseases caused by various plant pathogens.

Taxonomic Characterization

Taxonomic review for 11 species referable to six genera under the tribe Nymphalini has been presented. Taxonomic characterization, and elucidation of external genitalic attributes, has been done for five species namely, Nymphalis xanthomelas (Esper), Polygonia c-album (Linnaeus), Kaniska canace (Linnaeus), Symbrenthia lilaea (Hewitson) and Symbrenthia hypselis (Godart) from western Himalaya, India. Along with that, distribution and taxonomic remarks on species Symbrenthia niphanda Moore and Symbrenthia brabira Moore, and species under genera Aglais Dalman and Vanessa Fabricius from the western Himalaya has been discussed from the older literature. Major gaps in the taxonomic history of the tribe Nymphalini has been mentioned in the concluding remarks.

A taxonomic revision of the cosmopolitan genus Cardamine is presented for New Zealand. Previous systematic research and the taxonomic history of Cardamine in New Zealand is reviewed, and a phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences shows most of the species of Cardamine in New Zealand and Australia are closely related. Forty one taxa indigenous to New Zealand are recognised, with thirty-one species newly named and described, ten previously named taxa are accepted, including C. depressa with two subspecies and a new name is provided for one species. An additional four species are accepted as naturalised in New Zealand. Descriptions are presented for all taxa, along with information on distribution, habitats and conservation status. All taxa are illustrated, distribution maps provided, and a dichotomous key presented to assist with identification.

A New Species

Dahlia tamaulipana (Asteraceae, Coreopsideae) a new species from Sierra Madre Oriental in Tamaulipas, Mexico, is described. The new species is morphologically similar to D. tubulata, but differs by developing stems evidently hexagonal and villous in the upper portion of the nodes and the base of the petioles, the internodes reach 3–5.5 × 1–1.5 cm, the stipels are present from the first to the third pair of leaflets, the synflorescence develops (1–)15–25 heads, the heads reach 6.5–10 cm wide across the extended rays, and clavate cypsela with crown-shaped pappus. Both species inhabit the northern portion of the Sierra Madre Oriental, however they are not sympatric and do not share ecological preferences and phenological behavior. The description of the new species is accompanied with photographs, a chromosome count, and a distributions map and a key for Dahlia in Sierra Madre Oriental.

High Diversity

<p><strong>Background:</strong> The family Fagaceae is one of the most important in temperate regions of the Northern hemisphere. <em>Fagus</em> and <em>Quercus</em> are distributed in Mexico, the former in Northeastern Mexico, while the latter reaches a high diversity in the Sierra Madre Oriental, Mexico. In Hidalgo state, located mainly in the Sierra Madre Oriental, knowledge of the Fagaceae diversity is still uncertain.<em></em></p><p><strong>Questions and/or hypothesis:</strong> We carried out a taxonomic revision of the genus and species of Fagaceae in Hidalgo state. We determined how many and which species are distributed in Hidalgo. We also present a morphological description and ecological characters of each one.</p><p><strong>Studied species:</strong> The species of the family Fagaceae</p><p><strong>Study site:</strong> Hidalgo state, Mexico.</p><p><strong>Method:</strong> We collected herbarium specimens, made field observations and reviewed herbarium data of Fagaceae specimens at FCME, INEGI, MEXU, ENCB, SLPM, HUMO, XAL and partly BH herbaria. In addition, we checked taxonomic literature and protologues of each species.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>We found one species of <em>Fagus</em> and 43 of <em>Quercus</em>, 22 of which belong to the section <em>Quercus</em> (white oaks) and 21 to section <em>Lobatae</em> (red oaks). Morphological descriptions, altitudinal and geographical distribution, vegetation types of each species and a dichotomous key for species identification are presented. Illustrations and photographs of the species are also included.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> A high diversity of Fagaceae species is present in Hidalgo state. In Mexico, Hidalgo ranks in fifth place for oak species diversity, just behind Oaxaca (50 species), Puebla (50), San Luis Potosí (45), and Jalisco (45).<strong></strong></p>
