Routine identification of historical Vaccinium specimens at E revealed scurfy deposits on a specimen identified as Vaccinium brassii Sleumer. On examination with a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), these scurfy deposits turned out to be filamentous wax remarkably similar to that observed in Vaccinium ceraceum Argent. The disparity of the geographical locations of these two species is noted, together with the lack of molecular data to give insights into the evolutionary relationships.

Taxonomic evaluation of Cyrtandra (Gesneriaceae) from Sulawesi has resulted in the recognition of 39 species. Of these, four species are described as new here: Cyrtandra balgooyi H.J.Atkins & Karton., C. flavomaculata H.J.Atkins & Karton., C. longistamina H.J.Atkins & Karton. and C. parvicalyx H.J.Atkins & Karton. Eleven names are lectotypified and three names are placed in synonymy. Provisional conservation assessments suggest that seven of these species are Critically Endangered, six are Endangered, three are Vulnerable, two are Data Deficient and 21 are of Least Concern. Illustrations, distribution maps, and a key to the Cyrtandra species of Sulawesi are presented. Evaluasi taksonomi Cyrtandra (Gesneriaceae) dari Sulawesi menghasilkan pengenalan 39 jenis.

Sebelas nama telah dilektotipifikasikan dan tiga nama ditempatkan dalam sinonim. Penilaian konservasi sementara menyarankan bahwa tujuh dari jenisjenis ini dinyatakan Critically Endangered, enam dinyatakan Endangered, tiga dinyatakan Vulnerable, dua dinyatakan Data Deficient dan 21 sisanya dinyatakan Least Concern. Ilustrasi, peta distribusi dan kunci identifikasi untuk jenis-jenis Cyrtandra dari Sulawesi disajikan.

The Phenological Predictability Index (PPI) is an algorithm incorporated into Brahms, one of the most widely used herbarium database management systems. PPI uses herbarium specimen data to calculate the probability of the occurrence of various phenological events in the field. Our hypothesis was that use of PPI to quantify the likelihood that a given species will be found in flower bud, flower or fruit in a particular area in a specific period makes field expeditions more successful in terms of finding fertile plants. PPI was applied to herbarium data for various angiosperm species locally abundant in Central Brazil to determine the month in which they were most likely to be found, in each of five areas of the Distrito Federal, with flower buds, flowers or fruits (i.e. the ‘maximum probability month’ for each of these phenophases). Plants of the selected species growing along randomised transects were tagged and their phenology was monitored over 12 months (method 1), and two one-day field excursions to each area were undertaken, by botanists with no prior knowledge of whether the species had previously been recorded at these sites, to record their phenological state (method 2). The results showed that field excursions in the PPI-determined maximum probability month for flower buds, flowers or fruits would be expected to result in a > 90% likelihood of finding individual plants of a given species in each of these phenophases. PPI may fail to predict phenophase for species with supra-annual reproductive events or with high event contingency. For bimodal species, the PPI-determined maximum probability month is that in which a specific phenophase is likely to be most intense. In planning an all-purpose collecting trip to an area with seasonal plant fertility, PPI scores are useful when selecting the best month for travel.

The new species is morphologically similar to Impatiens attopeuensis and I. notoptera in having succulent stems, serrate leaf margins and pinkish flowers, but distinguished from these two by its falcate lanceolate or oblanceolate leaves, more numerous secondary veins, shorter petioles and smaller dorsal petals.
