Revisiting the nomenclature of Carludovica microcephala, type species of Dicranopygium (Cyclanthaceae)

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The name Carludovica microcephala, basionym of the type species of Dicranopygium (Cyclanthaceae), has long been attributed to J.D. Hooker (1892), based on plants cultivated at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

On the botanical history and nomenclature of the New World genus Piscidia (Fabaceae)

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Piscidia L. (Fabaceae) is a New World genus with nine recognized taxa (seven species and two varieties). The previous nomenclatural revisions, made in 1910 and in 1969, are revisited here. The names Derris grandifolia Heyde & Lux ex Donn.Sm. and P. cubensis Urb. required step II lectotypifications, with an epitype for the latter name.

Revisiting the typification of Lippia riedeliana (Verbenaceae)

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract The present study revisits the previously selected lectotype for Lippia riedeliana, which was designated in a proposal to reject this name. According to our reinterpretation, this typification was based on non‐original material and, therefore, must be superseded. The holotype is at LE, and this specimen must be cited accordingly.

Typification of Linnaean names in the genus Passiflora (Passifloraceae)

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Between 1753 and 1771, Carl Linnaeus described and named 30 species of passionflowers (Passiflora, Passifloraceae). As was customary at the time, he did not explicitly cite herbarium specimens that could serve as types for these species. Beginning in 1926 through 2024, 18 of the 30 Linnaean species names were typified and 2 were found to be ...
