A New Species of Cybianthus (Myrsinaceae) from the Cordillera del Condor (Ecuador and Peru)

Cybianthus condorensis Pipoly & Ricketson, a new species from the Cordillera del Condor of Ecuador and Peru, is described herewith. Because of its alternate, coriaceous, and revolute leaves; scattered to densely appressed lepidote branchlets, inflorescence rachises, and calyces; subsessile pistillate flowers; and sandy habitat, this species is easily recognized

Sm.) Ricketson & Pipoly [≡ R. amischocarpa A. C. Sm.]; M. boivinii (Mez) Ricketson & Pipoly [≡ R. boivinii Mez]; M. comorensis (Mez) Ricketson & Pipoly [≡ R. comorensis Mez]; M. courboniana (Mez) Ricketson & Pipoly [≡ R. courboniana Mez]; M. crassiramea (A. C. Sm.) Ricketson & Pipoly [≡ R. crassiramea A. C. Sm.]; M. daphnoides (Mez) Ricketson & Pipoly [≡ R. daphnoides Mez]; M. forbesii (Mez) Ricketson & Pipoly [≡ R. forbesii Mez]; M. griffithiana(Mez) Ricketson & Pipoly [≡ R. griffithiana Mez]; M. hadrocarpa (A. C. Sm.) Ricketson & Pipoly [≡ R. hadrocarpa A. C. Sm.]; M. longipes (A. C. Sm.) Ricketson & Pipoly [≡ R. longipes A. C. Sm.]; M. polyantha (A. C. Sm.) Ricketson & Pipoly [≡ R. polyantha A. C. Sm.; M. seychellarum(Mez) Ricketson & Pipoly [≡ R. seychellarum Mez]; and M. striata (Mez) Ricketson & Pipoly [≡ R. striata Mez]. Six binomials are lectotypified: M. boivinii (Mez) Ricketson & Pipoly; M. comorensis(Mez) Ricketson & Pipoly; M. forbesii (Mez) Ricketson & Pipoly; M. griffithiana (Mez) Ricketson & Pipoly; M. seychellarum (Mez) Ricketson & Pipoly; M. striata (Mez) Ricketson & Pipoly

A New Combination in Ardisia (Myrsinaceae) from Vietnam

The lectotypification of Ardisia tinctoria Pit. and subsequent reidentification of the type material as A. quinquegona Blume subsp. quinquegona resulted in two collections being orphaned under the name A. tinctoria var. microcarpa Pit. We elect to elevate the variety name A. tinctoria var. microcarpa and, here, propose the following new combination, A. microcarpa (Pit.) Ricketson & Pipoly, comb. et stat. nov., to accommodate these orphaned collections
