Studies on Homalomeneae (Araceae) of Borneo I.Four New Species and Preliminary Thoughts on Informal Species Groups in Sarawak [Page 1- 29]
Studies on Homalomeneae (Araceae) of Borneo I.Four New Species and Preliminary Thoughts on Informal Species Groups in Sarawak [Page 1- 29]
Abstract:
Four new species of Homalomena (Araceae: Homalomeneae) are described from Sarawak. The current supraspecific taxonomy of the genus is reviewed and reasons for not recognizing at this time formal supraspecific units are justified although the need for species groupings is restated. In line with other large, taxonomically intractable groups, informal groups are proposed and circumscribed. All new species are illustrated.

Studies in the Peristylus tentaculatus-complex (Orchidaceae) in Thailand [Page 45 - 54]
Studies in the Peristylus tentaculatus-complex (Orchidaceae) in Thailand [Page 45 - 54]
Abstract:
A large number of Thai specimens belonging to the Peristylus tentaculatus complex were examined in the present study. No characters were found to distinguish between the three previously recognised species, Peristylus tentaculatus (Lindl.) J.J.Sm., P. tipuliferus (C.S.P.Parish & Rchb.f.) Mukerjee and P. garrettii (Rolfe ex Downie) J.J.Wood & Ormerod, which are therefore considered as conspecific.

Habenaria mandersii (Orchidaceae) Newly Recorded from Thailand with Notes on the H. hosseusii Group [Page 55- 61]
Habenaria mandersii (Orchidaceae) Newly Recorded from Thailand with Notes on the H. hosseusii Group [Page 55- 61]
Abstract:
The occurrence of Habenaria mandersii Collett & Hemsl. in Thailand is newly reported. The species was previously only known in Myanmar and the former French Indochina (Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam). It is very similar to H. hosseusii Schltr. and it is here suspected that it has frequently been mistaken for this species in the past. Short notes on the taxonomy of the H. hosseusii–mandersii–dentirostrata Tang & F.T.Wang group are also given.

Thirty Two New Species of Bulbophyllum (Orchidaceae) from Sulawesi [Page 73 - 153]
Thirty Two New Species of Bulbophyllum (Orchidaceae) from Sulawesi [Page 73 - 153]
Abstract:
Thirty two new species of Bulbophyllum, all from Sulawesi, are described.Names currently in use for various sections of Bulbophyllum are made junior synonyms to older sectional names that have been ignored so far, partly because their taxonomic content, as appears from the suite of species listed with the original descriptions of these sections, was ambiguous. These sectional names are lectotypified and re-instated.

Musa yamiensis C. L. Yeh & J. H. Chen (Musaceae), a New Species from Lanyu, Taiwan [Page 165 - 172]
Abstract:
A new species of Musa L. (Musaceae), M. yamiensis C-L. Yeh & J-H. Chen, from Lanyu, Taiwan, is described and illustrated. Musa yamiensis is closely related to M. insularimontana Hayata, but differs from the latter in subhorizontal inflorescence, yellow-green with pink at apex bracts, 4 flowers in a bract in 1 row, and the size and structure of flowers.
