Recent molecular and taxonomic studies in the genus Onosma supported the notion that O. viridis (Borbás) Jáv. described from the present-day Romania is distinct from O. heterophylla Griseb., and also showed that O. tornensis Jáv., an alleged narrow endemic at the Slovak–Hungarian border, is conspecific with O. viridis. In this paper we formally lectotypify the name O. viridis, and reduce O. tornensis into the synonymy of O. viridis. The nomenclatural and taxonomic history of O. viridis is discussed.

A new species of the orchid genus Hofmeisterella, H. biglobulosa Kolan., Szlach. & R. Medina Trejo, is described and illustrated. It is easily distinguished from H. eumicroscopica by the presence of globular projections on the lip disc. Brief taxonomic notes on Hofmeisterella and Telipogon are provided.

Primulina diffusa Xin Hong, Fang Wen & S.B. Zhou (Gesneriaceae), a new species growing in rocky crevices at the foot of a limestone hill near the Sino-Vietnamese border in southwestern Guangxi, China, is described and illustrated. It is morphologically similar to P. hochiensis and P. hochiensis var. rosulata, but can be distinguished by having single-flowered cymes; short peduncle (1–1.5 cm long); narrowly elliptical to subulate bracts, 2–2.5 x ca. 0.6 mm; 1–2 cm long pedicel; calyx lobes that are densely puberulent on both sides; and filaments that are geniculate near the middle.

Tricyrtis xianjuensis G.Y. Li, Z.H. Chen & D.D. Ma sp. nova (Liliaceae) is described from Zhejiang and illustrated. It resembles especially T. ohsumiensis and T. perfoliata (sect. Flavae), but differs from the former in having ascending stems, 70 cm long, and glabrous; widely-spaced, ovate-oblong and 2-ranked leaves with the apex acuminate to long acuminate, and without oil spots; pedicel 0.5–1.2 cm long; tepals ca. 0.8 cm wide, appearing purple-spotted inside, the outer tepals' mucro less than 1 mm long; and anthers ca. 3 mm long. Tricyrtis xianjuensis differs from T. perfoliata in having ovate-elliptic leaves, clasping at the base, not perfoliate, and without oil spots; axillary flowers, numbering one or two; and 20–25 mm long tepals with slightly larger and scattered spots. The present report extends the known distribution of Tricyrtis sect. Flavae from Japan to China.

Pachyphyllum putumayoensis Szlach., Kolan. & N. Olędrzyńska sp. nova and P. longipedicellatum Szlach., Kolan. & N. Olędrzyńska sp. nova (Orchidaceae) are described and illustrated based on Colombian material. They were found growing sympatrically in pàramo de San Antonio del Bordoncillo. Their taxonomic affinities are briefly discussed.
Wasowicz, P., Pielichowska, M., Przedpelska-Wasowicz, E. M., Bednarek, P., Szarek-Lukaszewska, G., Abratowska, A. & Wierzbicka, M. 2014: Physiological and genetic differentiation between metallicolous and non-metallicolous diploid populations of alpine Biscutella laevigata (Brassicacae) in the Tatra Mountains and the northern Carpathian foreland. — Ann. Bot. Fennici 51: 227–239.
We investigated physiological and genetic differentiation between local, metallicolous (M) and non-metallicolous (NM) populations of the pseudometallophyte Biscutella laevigata (Brassicaceae) in the Tatra Mountains of the Carpathian range and in the northern Carpathian foreland. The investigated plants did not hyperaccumulate Pb, Zn or Cd. Presence of EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) in the substrate caused increased metal uptake (Pb, Zn) only in accessions from the M population. The content of mineral nutrients (Fe, Ca, Mg and K) was decreased in accessions from the M population grown in EDTA-enriched substrate. No significant changes in the metal uptake or mineral status were recorded in plants from the NM population. Genetic variability assessed using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was equal in the M and NM populations. No signs of a significant decrease in genetic diversity were found in the M population. There was a strong genetic differentiation between the plants from the M and NM populations, which suggests long-term genetic isolation and vicariance between the populations.
Katinas, L. & Zavaro, C. 2014: Endemism and taxonomic complexity of the genus Chaptalia (Asteraceae) in the Caribbean. I. Introduction and morphology. — Ann. Bot. Fennici 51: 240–252.
The Caribbean contains a system of islands east of Central America with a high number of endemic taxa. Some of those taxa, such as the genus Chaptalia (Asteraceae) are taxonomically complex. Thirty-one species of Chaptalia were described for the Caribbean, 28 of them supposedly being endemic. In this first part of the revision, we present the background and discuss the morphological characters of the various species and the endemism in the Caribbean Islands.
Katinas, L. & Zavaro, C. 2014: Endemism and taxonomic complexity of the genus Chaptalia (Asteraceae) in the Caribbean. II. Taxonomic treatment. — Ann. Bot. Fennici 51: 253–266.
This is the second part of a revision of the genus Chaptalia (Asteraceae) in the Caribbean Islands, containing a taxonomic treatment. The number of recognized species in the genus is reduced from 31 to two endemics, C. angustata and C. dentata, and two non-endemics, C. albicans and C. nutans. A morphological analysis led to synonymization of numerous names under C. dentata. A key to the species of Chaptalia in the Caribbean is provided together with species descriptions, illustrations, and distribution maps.

A lectotype is designated for Habenaria dyeriana King & Pantl. (Orchidaceae) as an earlier typification is not in accordance with the Melbourne Code. A detailed description of Platanthera dyeriana (King & Pantl.) Kraenzl. (≡ Habenaria dyeriana) is provided along with relevant photographs. Its conservation status in India and its affinity to some other species of Platanthera are discussed.
