03D2C609FFCEFFCC0825FA09FC518926.taxon	discussion	Note — Mussaenda arachnocarpa and B. lantziana are conspecific. Both taxa are from humid forest areas near Fort Dauphin (Tolagnaro) in Southeast Madagascar. Mussaenda arachnocarpa has priority and therefore a new combination is required.	en	Davis, A. P., Razafimandimbison, S. G., Andriambololonera, S. (2011): Nomenclatural changes in the genus Bremeria (Rubiaceae). Blumea 56 (1): 4-5, DOI: 10.3767/000651911X557686, URL: https://doi.org/10.3767/000651911x557686
03D2C609FFCEFFCC0B6AFB50FC1B8DCE.taxon	discussion	Notes — Bremeria scabrella is not like B. erectiloba but instead has a greater morphological similarity to B. pervillei (Wernham) Razafim. & Alejandro, which comes from the sub-humid forests (Sambirano) of Northeast Madagascar. Bremeria scabrella can be set apart from B. pervillei on the basis of the stiff pubescence (short hairs) on the under surface of the leaves (vs soft pubescence and longer hairs), sparsely pubescent inflorescence branches (vs densely pubescent), generally rather robust inflorescence parts (vs slender), and distinct (raised and rather thick) tertiary veins (vs flat to slightly raised and thin). Specimens Schatz & Nicoll 1231 (K, MO), Malcomber 2626 (K, MO), Randriamampionona 686 (K, MO) from Parcelle 1 of the Réserve Naturelle Intégrale d’Andohahela (near Fort Dauphin, in the District of Tolagnaro (Toliara )), fall within the circumscription of B. scabrella. Wernham (1914) cites two specimens (syntypes) for M. erectiloba var. scabrella, Scott Elliot 2607 and Cloisel 97. The herbaria for these specimens were given as ‘ Hbb. Mus. Brit., Kew’, which upon consultation of the relevant herbaria has to be Scott Elliot 2607 (K) and Cloisel 97 (BM). We designate specimen Scott Elliot 2607 (K) as the lectotype of M. erectiloba var. scabrella.	en	Davis, A. P., Razafimandimbison, S. G., Andriambololonera, S.

03D2C609FFCFFFCD0825FF70FE6B8BCD.taxon	discussion	Note — When transferring Musseaenda landia to Bremeria, Alejandro et al. (2005) did not make a combination for var. holosericea. This distinct variety requires a valid name and so a new combination is made here.	en	Davis, A. P., Razafimandimbison, S. G., Andriambololonera, S. (2011): Nomenclatural changes in the genus Bremeria (Rubiaceae). Blumea 56 (1): 4-5, DOI: 10.3767/000651911X557686, URL: https://doi.org/10.3767/000651911x557686
03D2C609FFCFFFCD0825FE37FE6B896E.taxon	discussion	Note — When transferring Mussaenda landia to Bremeria, Alejandro et al. (2005) did not make a combination for var. stadmanii. This distinct variety requires a valid name and so a new combination is made here.	en	Davis, A. P., Razafimandimbison, S. G., Andriambololonera, S.

03D2C609FFCFFFCD0825FC66FD758C65.taxon	discussion	Notes — Alejandro et al. (2005) cite the syntypes of M. trichophlebia as ‘ Baron 493 (syntypes, K, P) [sic] ’, which is incorrect. Baker (1883) cites two syntypes in his protologue for M. trichophlebia: Baron 493 and Baron 1764. The specimen Baron 493 (BM) was selected by Wernham (1914: 67 — ‘ Baron 493! Hb. Mus. Brit. ’) as the holotype of M. asperula, with isotypes at K and P. We hereby designate Baron 1764 (K) as the lectotype of M. trichophlebia. We agree with Wernham (1914: 66) that M. macropoda is a synonym of M. trichophlebia and hereby reiterate his synonymy in order to avoid superfluous combinations in Bremeria.	en	Davis, A. P., Razafimandimbison, S. G., Andriambololonera, S. (2011): Nomenclatural changes in the genus Bremeria (Rubiaceae).

03D2C609FFCFFFCD0825F954FB6E8BA7.taxon	discussion	Notes — Examination of type material shows that B. gerrardii represents Gaertnera phanerophlebia, an observation confirmed by recent study of Gaertnera (Malcomber & Taylor 2009). Bremeria and Gaertnera are not closely related, the former belonging to tribe Mussaendeae (Alejandro et al. 2005), and the latter to tribe Gaertnereae (Bremer & Manen 2000, Robbrecht & Manen 2006, Razafimandimbison et al. 2008). Another one of the six Mussaenda species described by Homolle (1938) should also not be transferred to Bremeria, viz. M. crinita, which has since been shown to belong to Bertiera (Wittle & Davis 2010). Bertiera is not closely related to tribe Mussaendeae, but instead belongs to tribe Bertiereae (Bridson & Verdcourt 2003, Davis et al. 2007).	en	Davis, A. P., Razafimandimbison, S.
