Notes

Includes index.

Taxonomic and nomenclatural treatments of various genera in a number of families known from Micronesia, with new species, varieties, and combinations. A discussion is included of the systematic position of the genus Fagraea Thunberg, transferring it from the family Loganiaceae to the Gentianaceae. The genus Wollastonia de Candolle (Compositae) is resurrected from the synonymy of Wedelia Jacquin, and the widespread species commonly called Wedelia biflora (L.) de Candolle is discussed in relation to the Hawaiian genus Lipochaeta de Candolle and is moved to Wollastonia.
