Abstract:
We organized the scientific names of Chinese cabbage according to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN) and the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP). We found that the subspecies name ‘Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis (Lour.) Rupr.’ was suitable as the scientific name for Chinese cabbage, and we classified B. rapa var. glabra Regel. as its synonym. In addition, B. petsai Bailey is an ‘unrecorded name’ not found in the original description, and therefore is not suitable for use. We conclude that all names based on this name are ‘invalid names’, and should not be used.Keywords:

In the framework of a revision of the genus Dictyota J.V. Lamour. in the Indian Ocean, all specimens from Indonesia present in the herbarium Weber-van Bosse (L) were re-examined. This resulted in a total of 9 species, one species including two different growth forms. Our identifications differ substantially from those of Weber-van Bosse (1913). Specimens recorded as D. apiculata J. Agardh were re-identified as D. crispata J.V. Lamour., which is the correct name for D. bartayresiana sensu Vickers; similarly was D. bartayresiana var. s re-identified as D. cervicornis Kutz., D. fasciola (Roth) J.V. Lamour. as D. ceylanica Kutz. and D. ceylanica Kutz. var. rotundata Weber Bosse as D. friabilis Setch. Dictyota pardalis Kutz. considered as a distinct species by Weber-van Bosse (1913: 184), is treated as a synonym of D. cervicornis. In addition a new combination is made for a growth form of the latter, characterized by recurved branchlets: D. cervicornis f. pseudohamata (Cribb) De Clerck & Coppejans. Dictyota beccariana Zanardini is considered to be a synonym of D. ciliolata Sond. ex Kutz. A single specimen, previously assigned to D. beccariana, belongs to D. dumosa Borgesen. This is the first report of D. dumosa for the Malayan region. A new species, D. canaliculata De Clerck & Coppejans is described from preserved material, not reported in Weber-van Bosse (1913).

SUMMARY The first part of this paper deals with the nomenclature of some genera of ferns. The following new generic names are proposed to replace the illegitimate names now in use. Lecanolepis for Lecanium Presl non Lecanium Reinw.; Kuniwatsukia for Microchlaena Ching non Microchlaena Wall, ex Wight et Arn.; Phymatopteris for Phymatopsis J. Smith non Phymatopsis Tul. ex Trevis. Phymatodes Presl must be regarded as a nomenclatural synonym of Dipteris, and the genus now named Phymatodes remains without a name. Phymatosorus is established as the new name for it. Dryopteris subgen. Steiropteris is raised to the rank of genus. The new combinations for most of the species of the above-mentioned genera are made under the new generic names. Some genera are studied as far as their typification is concerned, and their lectotypes are designated as follows. Trichomanes: T. crispum; Micropodium: M. longifolium; Eremopodium: E. sundense; Ragiopteris: R. onocleoides; Blechnopsis: B. orientalis; Phymatodes: Ph. conjugata; Goniophlebium. G. articulatum. The place of pubblication of Neuromanes and the type (N. pinnatum) are established. Additional remarks on the nomenclature of the above-mentioned genera are made, and on the implications derived from their typification are pointed out. The second part of the paper is merely a list of new combinations and changes in rank for species and varieties of the genera Asplenium, Ctenitis, Ctenopteris, Didymoglossum, Loxoscaphe, Marginaria, Mecodium, Pleopeltis, Polytaenium, Schellolepis, Sphaerocionium, Vandenboschia, and Xiphopteris. All the names mentioned in this paper are listed in the index, where the new generic names and new combinations are printed in bold type. RIASSUNTO La prima parte di questo lavoro tratta della nomenclatura di alcuni generi di felci. Vengono proposti i seguenti nuovi nomi generici al posto di quelli illegittimi ora in uso. Lecanolepis per Lecanium Presl non Leeanium Reinw.; Kuniwatsukia per Microchlaena Ching non Microchlaena Wall, ex Wight et Arn.; Phymatopteris per Phymatopsis J. Smith non Phymatopsis Tul. ex Trevis. Phymatodes Presl deve essere considerato come un sinonimo nomenclaturale di Dipteris, ed il genere ora chiamato Phymatodes resta senza un nome. Phymatosorus viene stabilito come nuovo nome per esso. Dryopteris subgen. Steiropteris è elevato al rango di genere. Le nuove combinazioni per la maggior parte delle specie dei suddetti generi vengono fatte sotto i nuovi nomi generici. Alcuni generi vengono studiati per quanto riguarda la loro tipificazione ed i loro lectotipi vengono designati come segue. Trichomanes: T. crispum; Micropodiurn. M. longifolium; Eremopodium: E. sundense; Ragiopteris: R. onocleoides; Bleehnopsis: B. orientalis; Phymatodes: Ph. conjugata; Goniophlebium: G. articulatum. Vengono stabiliti il luogo di pubblicazione ed il tipo di Neuromanes (N. pinnatum). Sono fatte ulteriori osservazioni sulla nomenclatura dei suddetti generi e sono messe in evidenza lo implicazioni derivate dalla loro tipificazione. La seconda parte del lavoro è semplicemente la lista di nuove combinazioni e cambiamenti di rango per specie e varietà dei generi Asplenium, Ctenitis, Ctenopteris, Didymoglossum, Loxoscaphe, Marginaria, Mecodium, Pleopeltis, Polytaenium, Schellolepis, Sphaerocionium, Vandenbosehia e Xiphopteris. Tutti i nomi ricordati in questo lavoro sono elencati nell'indice, dove i nomi generici nuovi e le combinazioni nuove sono stampate in neretto.

Thirteen names of Agarista are here typified as part of the genus taxonomic revision. We studied protologues, type specimens, digital images, negative photos at F from lost specimens originally deposited at B, and additional publications. Lectotypes are here designated for the names Agarista angustissima, Ag. ericoides, Ag. pulchella, Ag. pulchra, Andromeda neriifolia, An. oleifolia, An. pistrix, An. revoluta, Leucothoë ambigua var. longifolia, L. ambigua var. parvifolia, L. ambigua var. peduncularis, and L. rivularis. Additionally, a neotypification is proposed for the name L. columbiana. Lectotypes and neotype are designated from duplicates conserved in COL, E, F, G, HBG, K, NY, P and US. Additionally, epitypes are designated for Ag. pulchella, Ag. pistrix (a heterotypic synonym of Ag. subrotunda), and L. ambigua var. parvifolia (a heterotypic synonym of Ag. uleana) based on specimens deposited at MBM, P and NY, respectively. Comments are made concerning the correct authorship of the name Ag. coriifolia. Clarifications are made about the location of the type material of Ag. subrotunda. Lastly, the update on the collection locality of the type specimen of L. ambigua var. longifolia, a heterotypic synonym of Ag. oleifolia var. oleifolia, revealed the first and, so far, only known record of Agarista for Tocantins State in North Brazil.

In a recent floristic treatment, Haplocarpha thunbergii Less. was considered to be the correct name for H. scaposa Harv. The name H. thunbergii is a substitute name for Arctotis lanata Thunb. Examination of the original material in the Thunberg herbarium proved that Thunberg based the name A. lanata on three specimens each belonging to different species (those currently known as A. acaulis L., If. lanata Less. and If. parvifolia (Schltr.) Beauverd). Our identifications of these specimens proved that the names A. lanata and H. scaposa are not conspecific and H. scaposa is not a homotypic synonym of H. thunbergii. Herein a lectotype for H. scoposa is designated from the syntypes specified by Harvey. With the objective of maintaining nomenclatural stability, we lectotypify A. lanata and place it in synonymy of A. acaulis, thus preserving usage of the name H. parvifolia. An updated synonymy for A. acaulis is provided. In addition, lectotypes are designated for A. fosteri N.E. Br., A. oocephala DC., A. parvifolia Schltr., H. lyrata Harv. and H. transvaalensis Gand.

Thalictrum purdomii Clark (1913: 39) was described on the basis of a gathering, W. Purdom 169 (K), which includes two plants grown from seeds collected from northern China. Wang & Wang (1980) pointed out that the two plants represent two different taxa, with one sheet (K000694124; Fig. 1) belonging to T. minus var. hypoleucum (Siebold & Zuccarini 1846: 178) Miquel (1867: 3) and the other (K000694123; Fig. 2) belonging to T. squarrosum Stephen ex Willdenow (1799: 1299). As a result, they cited T. purdomii as synonyms of both T. minus var. hypoleucum and T. squarrosum, not proposing a lectotypification for the name. Fu & Zhu (2001) cited T. purdomii as a synonym of only T. minus var. hypoleucum, but they also did not designate a lectotype for T. purdomii.

Rapuzzi P., Parisi F. - Notes on Agapanthia (Synthapsia) kirbyi (Gyllenhal, 1817) with description of a new subspecies and the confirmation of its occurrence in Italy (Coleoptera Cerambycidae Lamiinae). In this paper, we investigated hundreds of specimens within the Agapanthia kirbyi (Gyllenhal, 1817) with the aim of finding relevant discrepancies in the Western and Southeastern populations. Amongst the species, the most diverse characters are body shape and pubescence color; however, based on the different geographical distribution it is possible to classify it into three different subspecies. One of these subspecies is new and is described below as Agapanthia (Synthapsia) kirbyi samai new subspecies. We also consider the characters used to create the Genus Synthapsia by Pesarini & Sabbadini (2004) not sufficient for a genus rank but at least for a subgenus rank (new status) due to the fact that other species close to A. kirbyi (Agapanthia hirsuticornis) shows intermediate characters between Synthapsia and Agapanthia. We also formalize the following new synonym: A. kirbyi ssp. zawadskyi Fairmaire, 1866 (name resurrected, new combination) = A. kirbyi ssp. valandoensis Sláma 2015 (new synonym) on the base of many specimens studied from the type localities of both the Taxon. In addition, the occurrence of A. kirbyi (Gyllenhal, 1817) is ascertained in Italy; in fact, eleven specimens were reported in the Matese Mountains, central-southern Apennines, between the years 2019 and 2021. This extends its known distribution into southern Europe and further confirms the important biogeographical role of this mountainous territory. Key Words: Longhorn beetles, Geographical range, Holotype, Matese mountain, central-southern Apennine.

Summary Authorities have disagreed on the correct name for the widespread and common species known variously as Dryopteris paleacea (Swartz or Don) Hand.‐Mazz. or C. Chr. and D. wallichiana (Spreng.) Hyl. Reëxamination of Don's Prodromus Florae Nepalensis forces the conclusion that Alston was correct in using the latter name.

Ctenitis C. Christensen (1938: 544) is a fern genus in Dryopteridaceae (Smith et al. 2006, Zhang et al. 2013), containing about 150 species distributed in the New and Old World wet tropics (Mickel & Smith, 2004). While working on a monograph of Ctenitis of the Old World, we found two new synonyms for the fern flora of Fiji which do not belong to Ctenitis and have never been correctly treated before: Ctenitis minima Brownlie (1977: 303), a heterotypic synonym of Tectaria dissecta (G. Forst.) Lellinger (1968: 156) (Tectariaceae), and Ctenitis waiwaiensis (C. Chr.) Brownlie (1977: 303) [basionym: Dryopteris waiwaiensis Christensen (1905: 300)], a heterotypic synonym of Deparia boryana (Willdenow) M. Kato (1977: 36) (Athyriaceae).
