Timor-Leste is one of the world’s newest nations, but the island of Timor has a long history of human habitation and land use which has played a significant role in shaping the 15 current vegetation and flora. Movement of people, plants and materials has seen the introduction of hundreds of plants to Timor from foreign lands, many of which have established naturalised populations, with some exerting detrimental impacts on Timorese agriculture, the environment and livelihoods. Plant health surveys conducted by Timorese and Australian biosecurity agencies have enabled compilation of an inventory of more than 20 500 naturalised and pest plant species based largely on recent field collections (now lodged in herbaria) supplemented by observational and literature records. The composition of the naturalised flora in terms of plant family and life form is described and the origin status of introduced plant species is referenced and summarised by continental region and likely mode of introduction.

Seringia botak Cheek sp. nov., based on a collection made by the authors in 2017, is described from metalliferous grassland and savannah habitats in Indonesian New Guinea. Initially this appeared to be the first verified record of Seringia from SE Asia and to extend the range of the genus c. 1500 km further north than the previously recorded northern limit in Northern Territory, Australia. Further research, however, showed two previous specimens of the taxon from New Guinea, which had been overlooked. The extinction risk of Seringia botak is assessed as Endangered using the IUCN 2016 standard.

The amphi-atlantic genus Mendoncia of the Acanthaceae counts c. 80 species. In tropical Africa it is represented by 14 species, eight in continental Africa and six in Madagascar. The remaining species occur in tropical America. The new species Mendoncia camerounensis and M. rabiensis are described and illustrated. Mendoncia floribunda is resurrected, fully described, and illustrated as well. Mendoncia iodioides, reduced to a variety of M. phytocrenoides in the Flore du Gabon, is restored as a distinct species. The isolated western population of Mendoncia gilgiana is recognised as a new subspecies. The conservation status of all species is assessed. Only a few of them are classified as Least Concern, the others as ranging from Critically Endangered to Vulnerable. Since we resurrect two species and add two new species and a new subspecies, a synopsis of and a key to all continental African species is presented.

The pollen morphology of Gladiopappus vernonioides was studied with transmission (TEM) and scanning (SEM) electron microscopy and with light microscopy (LM). An Anthemoid pattern of exine ultrastructure was found. The pollen morphology of Gladiopappus supports the inclusion of this genus in the tribe Dicomeae and subtribe Dicominae but not in the Mutisieae s.str. The apertural system of G. vernonioides includes a mesoaperture that intersects the foot layer and the upper layer of the endexine, a condition already pointed out for several tribes of Asteroideae (Helenieae, Gnaphaliinae, Heliantheae, Inuleae, Senecioneae) and Carduoideae (Cardueae, Dicomeae). It is suggested that the existence of an intermediate aperture could characterize the apertural system of the Asteraceae as a synapomorphy.

A new species from the Philippines, Vanoverberghia rubrobracteata, is described and illustrated here. The new species is most similar to Vanoverberghia sepulchrei from which it differs in its leaves with oblong to narrowly elliptic lamina, unevenly truncate ligule apex, glabrous and red floral bracts, red calyx, white or pink corolla tube and lobes, and absence of spots on the style.

Over two centuries of taxonomic studies on the species rich genus Phyllanthus have culminated in a broad and complicated classification with many subgenera and (sub)sections. Past taxonomic work has only focused on local revisions, mostly because of the size of the genus. In this study we aim to summarize most of the taxonomic work in a list containing the infrageneric delimitations of Phyllanthus. This work will serve as a reference, placing most currently recognized species in subgenera and if possible, in sections for further study. Here we recognize 880 species of Phyllanthus, classified in 18 subgenera, 70 sections and 14 subsections. A few taxonomic changes are necessary to reconcile published phylogenetic data with the current classification. Subsections Callidisci and Odontadenii are raised to sectional rank, while section Eleutherogynium and section Physoglochidion are reduced to subsections and P. oxycarpus is transferred to the genus Glochidion. A provisional key for the subgeneric classification of Phyllanthus is provided.
