Based on examination of holotypes or interpretation of original descriptions, four taxonomic changes are proposed for South American species erroneously placed in the tribe Smiliini: Flynnia, gen. n. (Thuridini) and F. fascipennis (Funkhouser), comb. n. from Bolivia; Antianthe atromarginata (Goding), comb. n. from Ecuador; Amastris pilosa (Funkhouser), comb. n. from Peru; and Thelia planeflava ...

Santapau & Hennery reported four species of Portulaca found in all over India namely P. oleracea, pilosa, quadrifida and wightiana, among these oleracea pilosa further divided variety sub or race by Sivarajan Manilal Geesink respectively. In the present investigation author has experienced that var. linearifloia proposed adequate amount different characters right now from habit, morphology,...

The pervasive difficulties encountered with studying Galactia in the eastern USA necessitate additional typifications to stabilize the taxonomy. Galactia purshii is lectotypified here as the earliest available but overlooked name for a fairly common species of the Atlantic Coast and peninsular Florida. Galactia volubilis is epitypified here since the characterization of the species has been lim...

Aristolochia bracteolata L. Ageratum conyzoides L. Calliandra portoricensis (Jacq.) Benth. Curculigo pilosa (Schum and Thonn) Engl. Gladiolus dalenii van Geel. and Securidaca longepedunculata Fresh. form an important part of traditional recipes used for the management of infectious diseases in Ibadan, Nigeria.

Abstract Island populations may have a higher extinction risk due to reduced genetic diversity and need be managed effectively in order reduce the of biodiversity loss. The Eurasian red squirrels ( Sciurus vulgaris ) south England only survive on three islands (the Isle Wight, Brownsea Furzey islands), with Wight harbouring largest population region.
