A taxonomic revision of the Austro-Malesian species of Miliusa Lesch.
ex A.DC. (Annonaceae) is presented. Ten species can be recognised in the
area, including one new species, Miliusa novoguineensis, described here.
Most species are restricted to certain islands or geographic areas. Miliusa
horsfieldii (Benn.) Pierre is the main exception as it is distributed
from Hainan up to Queensland, Australia. Six of the ten species (except M.
amplexicaulis Ridl., M. longipes King, M. macropoda Miq. and
M. parviflora Ridl.) have a deciduous habit, and are largely restricted
to areas with a monsoon climate. A key, based primarily on generative
characters, and descriptions to the species are included.

A total of five species are included in this treatment of Balanophora (Balanophoraceae) including B. fungosa subsp. fungosa and B. elongata which are new records for Borneo. All five species occur on Mt Kinabalu. We provide brief descriptions, a key to differentiate all five species, as well as illustrations to assist in their identification.

In recent collections of herbaceous grasses from Thailand some novelties were detected: Eremo-chloa maxwellii Veldk. and Parahyparrhenia laegaardii Veldk. New records for Thailand are: Eragrostis tenuifolia (Hochst.) Steud., Eulalia tetraseta Ohwi, Germainia thorelii A. Camus, Sporobolus tenuissimus (Schrank) Kuntze. A second collection after the type was made of Germainia pilosa Chai-Anan.

New names and combinations are proposed for species of the orchid genera Bulbophyllum, Dendrobium, Flickingeria, Glomera, Octarrhena and Trichotosia. The genera Ischnocentrum and Sepalosiphon are synonymised with Glomera, while Chitonanthera is synonymised with Octarrhena.

In order to evaluate pollen morphological descriptions of Alchornea in the literature, which are almost completely based on African and American species, the pollen of eight Southeast Asian species of Alchornea was investigated, using light and scanning electron microscopy. Very little variation appeared to be present in the Asian material. Slightly deviating from the scabrate ornamentation type are A. kelungensis (psilate) and A. rugosa (striate-rugulate). The scabrate type is also found in A. castaneaefolia (Brazil), A. hirtella (Liberia) and A. obovata (Colombia). The operculate Alchornea pollen type, which can be easily recognised using light microscopy, seems to represent a diagnostic character for the tribe Alchornieae (pollen of Bossera unknown). Its characteristic appearance resulted in a relatively extensive fossil record. The earliest records are from the Middle Eocene of Venezuela and Nigeria, while records for Australia and Borneo date from the mid-Tertiary and the Neogene (Miocene–Pliocene), respectively. These records suggest that the tribe Alchornieae has an African–American Gondwanic origin, and reached its pantropic distribution at least in the mid-Tertiary.

During the process of compiling a checklist of Malesian Zingiberaceae, material referred to the synonymous genus Geanthus was examined carefully as the presently accepted genus Etlingera was likely to be involved. In this process it became evident that a new name, Amomum centrocephalum, and eight new combinations in Etlingera had to be made.

The sections of Ficus L. subg. Ficus are described and their Malesian species listed and a key to their identification is provided. One new subsection is established: Ficus subg. Ficus sect. Eriosycea subsect. Auratae. Four new species and two new subspecies are described: F. auricoma, F. glabristipulata, F. kofmanae, F. subglabritepala, F. oleifolia subsp. monantha, and F. hirta subsp. ochracea. Some new combinations and changes of rank are made: F. deltoidea subsp. motleyana, F. oleifolia subsp. intermedia, F. hirta subsp. dumosa and subsp. roxburghii, and F. tricolor var. robusta.
