“…Therefore, how near Logan's subsection Maddenia collection is to the Collection Policy target of 40 per cent verified is not known. While the process of verification is more difficult at RBGE's Regional Gardens (Cubey & Gardner, 2003), certain accessions could be prioritised because they meet target criteria. For example, those plants identified only to genus level, those of conservation importance and those flowering for the first time could be prioritised (Rae et al, 2006).…”

Rhododendron subsection Maddenia has long been cultivated at Logan Botanic Garden, an outpost of the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh (RBGE). It is noted in RBGE’s Collection Policy as one of Logan’s representation themes. Half of RBGE’s Maddenia accessions grow there outdoors in the relatively mild climate that suits these tender plants. It was known that Logan’s collection did not represent the entire Subsection. Therefore, this study’s aim was to investigate how completion might be achieved. Existing literature and known specialists were consulted to compile a list of taxa, although this remains unresolved. Using RBGE’s BG-BASE data and an observational survey of Logan’s living collection, it is suggested that 24 taxa may be absent from the collection. Their native occurrence, ex-situ cultivation and IUCN Red List criteria were researched. Using this information, a simple value system was created in order to prioritise acquisitions that might best serve conservation. This article is abridged and revised from the author’s specialist project, completed in candidature for the HND Horticulture with Plantsmanship.

“…Morphological characters of L. gredensis have been obtained from the studied personal gatherings and compared with data from protologue and relevant literature (Merino 1895, Gandoger 1901, Castroviejo & Pascual 2000, and with the specimens of Lupinus stored in Bulgarian herbaria SOA and SOM (the herbarium acronyms follow Thiers 2021). GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility database) records of L. hispanicus from Greece and Turkey, kept in herbaria E (Cubey 2021), MA (CSIC-Real Jardín Botánico 2021) and NMBT (Müller & Creuwels 2021), were examined online. Additional data on the distribution of L. gredensis (sub L. hispanicus) in Turkey were retrieved via online plant image resource Türkiye Bitkileri (2022).…”

“…Furthermore, three GBIF occurrence records of L. hispanicus (Cubey 2021, CSIC-Real Jardín Botánico 2021, Müller & Creuwels 2021) from West and South Turkey apparently belonged to L. gredensis due to the fact that a change in the flower color (from cream to lilac) was also found. The earliest specimen (at Nazilli town, Aydın Province) cited in the Flora of Turkey and the East Aegean Islands (Chamberlain 1970) is dated back to 1966.…”

Lupinus gredensis is recorded as a new species for the adventive flora of Bulgaria. It was discovered in the Eastern Rhodope Mountains (Ivaylovgrad and Krumovgrad districts). The species grows in open dry grasslands and roadside ruderal vegetation, on siliceous and serpentine substrates. Its most distinctive feature is the change of the flower color, which is cream to off-white at first, and subsequently, in the ageing flowers of the same inflorescence, turning lilac to mauve. Lupinus gredensis is an endemic taxon restricted to the Iberian Peninsula. So far, it has been known as an alien species only in Greece. Revisiting the available records of L. hispanicus from Turkey has revealed that they also belong to L. gredensis. In Bulgaria, the earliest finding of L. gredensis, erroneously identified as L. luteus, dates back to 2003. The aim of the present article is to report L. gredensis as an addition to the Bulgarian alien flora and to provide data on the main distinguishing characters of the species and its distribution in Bulgaria and Turkey.

The Asian genus Acerataspis Uchida, 1934 is reviewed based on both morphology and DNA barcodes. Ten species are recognized in total, of which three species from Yunnan Province of China are described as new: Acerataspis maliae sp. nov., A. seperata sp. nov. and A. similis sp. nov. The male of A. fukienensis Chao, 1957 is described and illustrated for the first time. The genus is recorded from Thailand and Southeast Asia for the first time. An illustrated key to all known extant species is provided. With the supplement of DNA barcodes, a few diagnostic morphological characters are found useful in species identification.
