Iva corbinii (Asteraceae): A Remarkable New Species from Travis County, Texas
Billie L. Turner
5—7

Abstract: Iva corbinii is described from the Colorado River bottoms of Travis County, Texas, to which it appears restricted. It is a remarkably distinct species, having predominately axillary, single heads; its closest relationship appears to be with I. axillaris, but differs from that taxon by numerous traits, most noteworthy by its involucres, which are composed of non-united bracts, suggesting a primitive position in the genus Iva. A photograph of the type collection is provided, along with a colored picture of its eponymous collector standing amongst a living population of the taxon.

Taxonomy of Forestiera pubescens and Forestiera neomexicana (Oleaceae)
Guy L. Nesom
8—14

Abstract: Forestiera neomexicana is relatively constant in diagnostic features of vestiture and leaf shape across most of its range in the southwestern USA, from California to New Mexico and into western Texas. Apparent intermediacy in leaf shape and vestiture with F. pubescens, however, as well as glabrous forms of F. pubescens, have complicated identification. The two taxa are treated here as the eastern F. pubescens var. pubescens and the western F. pubescens var. parviflora. The ranges of the two taxa are mapped and variant forms are shown in Texas. Synonymy and typification are provided.

A New Species of Roldana (Asteraceae) from Southern Oaxaca
Taylor Sultan Quesensley & José Louis Villaseñor

Abstract: Roldana uxordecora is described from Oaxaca, Mexico (Muicipio de San Mateo Río Hondo). The genus Roldana is common in the montane regions of the state of Oaxaca (22 species), and this addition to Roldana adds to a list of endemic species, now five, already collected from this montane region.
