Previous issue date: 2010unpublishedJohn Takeuchi, Sangamon State University’s first architect, reminisces about overseeing the physical development of the University from 1970-1976. Takeuchi remembers individuals including SSU President Robert C. Spencer, Dean Collins (engineer), Wally Henderson (Architect), and Dick Williams. Takeuchi discusses his prior professional experience at the University of California Berkley, where he worked as an architect for twenty-two years. Takeuchi also relates his involvement in the architectural planning of the University of Louisville and Virginia Commonwealth University, after his departure from SSU. Takeuchi, along with his companion Gloria Morita since 2001, speak in detail about their experiences as Japanese-Americans during World War II, including their forced evacuation to internment camps by government policy.

Western Province: Muller Range, Gugusu (Expedition Camp 1), lowland hill forest, 5°43.947'S, 142°15.973'E, 450 m, 7 September 2009, Takeuchi, Ama & Gamui 24504 (A, LAE); 5°43.786'S, 142°15.669'E, 420 m, 8 September 2009, Takeuchi et al. 24525 (A, K, LAE); 5°43.575'S, 142°15.630'E, 535 m, 9 September 2009, Takeuchi et al. 24560 (A, K, LAE); 5°43.780'S, 142°15.813'E, 505 m, 10 September 2009, Takeuchi et al. 24571 (A, LAE). When P. defretesiana was first described as a variety of P. leptothyrsa, only fruiting collections were available for study. The stipules and inflorescence were unknown. With recent acquisition of complete specimens from the Muller Range, the former assignment to the leptothyrsa complex has been reassessed. In the material now in hand, the short pedicels (1–2.5 mm long) and small flowers (corolla 2.5–3 mm long) are incompatible with any presumed relationship to P. leptothyrsa. Because of the differences now accruing, the former variety should stand as a separate species (see Table 1). a. entries from Sohmer (1988: 157–168). Psychotria is currently represented in New Guinea by at least seven monocaulous species, usually growing as subshrubs less than 1 m tall. The monocaulous-dwarf habit is less common among east Malesian Psychotria —for example in the Philippines there is only one species of similar stature and aspect to P. defretesiana and its allies (P. pygmaea Merr.; in Sohmer & Davis 2007: 94). Architectural reduction and simplification are frequently seen in other Papuasian genera (e.g., Ardisia hymenandroides [Takeuchi 2009a], Cyathea lamoureuxii [Takeuchi 2007b], Dysoxylum middletonianum [Takeuchi 2009c], Harpullia mabberleyana [Takeuchi 2011 in press], Zanthoxylum novoguineensis [Hartley 1975], etc.) and are nearly always associated (though perhaps only coincidentally) with restricted geographic distributions.Published as part of Takeuchi, Wayne, 2011, Additional notes on Psychotria (Rubiaceae) from the southern karst of Papua New Guinea: P. defretesiana comb. et stat. nov., P. dieniensis var. banakii var. nov., and P. stevedarwiniana sp. nov., pp. 19-27 in Phytotaxa 24 on pages 20-22, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.24.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/489405

Etymology The species name ’ is derived from cornu ı based on “ horn ” -like mid-dorsal triangular projections on pereonite 2. Remarks Notoprotella cornuta sp. nov. differs from N. berentsae (Takeuchi and Lowryı 2007b) by the following species diagnostic characters: (1) presence of small mid-dorsal hump on head of N. cornuta sp. nov.; (2) while pereonite 2 of N. cornuta sp. nov. has midlateral projection near the base of gnathopod 2ı N. berentsae lacks this projection; (3) while in N. cornuta sp. nov. the mid-dorsal projection of pereonite 2 is distinct and trianguları N. berentsae is smallı and subtriangular; (4) while in uropod 2 of N. cornuta sp. nov. the ramus is about 1/3 of peduncular lengthı N. berentsae is less than 1/4 of peduncular length. Thusı we established the new speciesı Notoprotella cornuta sp. nov.Published as part of Takeuchi, Ichiro & Lowry, James K., 2019, A taxonomic study on Orthoprotella and related genera (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Caprellidae) of New South Walesı Australia, pp. 1023-1059 in Journal of Natural History 53 (17) on pages 1040-1045, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2019.1589590, http://zenodo.org/record/367328

Type: — PAPUA NEW GUINEA. Western Province: Strickland drainage, Muller Range, Gugusu (Expedition Camp 1), lowland hill forest, 5°43.575'S, 142°15.630'E, 535 m, 9 September 2009, Takeuchi, Ama & Gamui 24549 (holotype: LAE; isotypes: A, BO, CANB, K, L, MO). Etymology: —Named after Banak Gamui of the PNG Institute of Biological Research. Field characters: —Trees 4–5 m tall; branchlets fleshy, smooth, green; stipules foliaceous, notched or cleft, light green; leaf-blades rugose, dark green above, pale green beneath; panicle axes light green, canescent; flowers sessile; calyx lobes elongate, linear-deltate; corolla obtuse in bud, lobes 5, white, recurved at anthesis, throat white-hairy; stamens 5, exserted, white; style included, much shorter than the filaments; stigma 2-fid; fruit (immature) ellipsoid, whitish green. Distribution: —Known only from the type locality (Fig. 2). Habitat and ecology: —Lowland hill forest, natural-growth communities at 535 m. Phenology: —Flowering and fruiting in September. Additional specimen examined: — PAPUA NEW GUINEA. Western Province: Muller Range, Gugusu (Expedition Camp 1), lowland hill forest, 5°43.635'S, 142°15.733'E, 535 m, 6 September 2009, Takeuchi, Ama & Gamui 24471 (A, BO, CANB, K, L, LAE, MO). The new variety is clearly connected to P. dieniensis (Merrill & Perry 1946). Except for the distinctions specified by diagnosis, the vegetative and reproductive characteristics of var. banakii agree reasonably well with those in var. dieniensis. The differences argue for recognition only at infraspecific level. In comparison with P. leptothyrsa var. defretesiana (Takeuchi 2009b), the newly established variety is unlikely to require future consideration as a separate species. Psychotria dieniensis sens. str. is represented mainly by subshrubs with commensurately small structures. Although the type (for P. dieniensis) was taken from a lowland environment (500 m; Merrill & Perry 1946), an overwhelming majority of conspecific collections are from montane habitats straddling the Central Divide. The high-elevation populations have attributes typical of such areas (e.g., firm-textured leaf-blades, dense indument, contracted internodes, and low-bushy architectures). Unlike these earlier gatherings, the Muller Range collections are arborescent plants with correspondingly larger parts. The glabrate leaves of var. banakii for example, are substantially above the previous measurement range for P. dieniensis (reported as 4.5–14.5 × 1.5–4.5 cm in Sohmer 1988: 82). The var. nov. also has panicles and fruits suggestive of changes in structural form (viz., towards verticillate branching in the inflorescence and fruits decidedly longer than broad). The robust features of var. banakii cannot be explained entirely by differences in elevation, given that the type for P. dieniensis was also taken from a lowland habitat. Despite its presumed status as a discrete variant from limestone, the perception of varietal distinction is complicated by geographic gaps in existing documentation, particularly from colline environments below 1000 m. The possibility of morphological discontinuities being removed by future collections cannot be discounted. Although additional sampling from the Southern Escarpment would be undoubtedly rewarding, the logistical and financial obstacles are severely limiting. In light of the operational and budgetary difficulties experienced by recent surveys on the karst, it is very unlikely that such localities can be revisited anytime soon.Published as part of Takeuchi, Wayne, 2011, Additional notes on Psychotria (Rubiaceae) from the southern karst of Papua New Guinea: P. defretesiana comb. et stat. nov., P. dieniensis var. banakii var. nov., and P. stevedarwiniana sp. nov., pp. 19-27 in Phytotaxa 24 on pages 23-24, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.24.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/489405

Etymology: —Named after Prof. Steven P. Darwin (Tulane University), an authority on Pacific floras and the author's former associate in Hawaiian botany. The alternative epithet " darwiniana " has been preempted (in Cheek et al. 2008). Field characters: —Miniature subshrubs 0.5–1.0 m tall; indument of white hairs on nearly all parts; stems monocaulous or at most with 1–3 branch pairs; stipules to 85 × 17 mm, inflated or not, off-white to light green, (2–)4-lobulate at the top (lobules 7–10 mm long); leaves thickly fleshy-coriaceous, rugose, bullate; fruits obovoid, epicarp entire, green. Distribution: —Known only from the type locality (Fig. 2). Habitat and ecology: — Nothofagus -emergent montane forest on doline karst, 1425–1495 m. Occurring as scattered colonies restricted to dark understories, often in spatial association with P. stolonifera and P. ternatifolia. Phenology: —Fruiting in September. Populations sterile except for the expedition's two collections. Additional specimen examined: — PAPUA NEW GUINEA. Western Province: Muller Range, Sawetau (Expedition Camp 2), Nothofagus -emergent montane forest on doline karst, 5°39.638'S, 142°18.018'E, 1460 m, 15 September 2009, Takeuchi, Ama & Gamui 24671- B (A, BO, CANB, K, L, LAE, MO). Even in a genus noted for morphological variation, the tubular stipules of P. stevedarwiniana are remarkable for their size and structure. The elongate-conoid (or subfusiform) stipule attains dimensions up to 85 × 17 mm in vivo, and is surmounted by four foliaceous lobes at the apical orifice. The process of stipule maturation is characterized by such pronounced changes in size, texture, and color, that the immature and mature stages look like structures from different species (Fig. 4). Among the 19 Papuasian congeners with connate stipules, P. stevedarwiniana is further distinguished in having conspicuously rugose-bullate leaves and basally branching panicles (the latter both terminal and subapical). The distinctive vegetative features allow for instant recognition whenever sterile plants are encountered. Although its flowers are still unknown, the pyrenes of P. stevedarwiniana are characteristic of Psychotria in the sense established by modern study of the Psychotrieae (sensu Davis & Bridson 2001, 2004, Davis et al. 2001, Sohmer & Davis 2007). Despite the novelty's atypical qualities, compelling support for the generic assignment is provided by the paired pyrenes with preformed germination slits (2) confined to the margins.Published as part of Takeuchi, Wayne, 2011, Additional notes on Psychotria (Rubiaceae) from the southern karst of Papua New Guinea: P. defretesiana comb. et stat. nov., P. dieniensis var. banakii var. nov., and P. stevedarwiniana sp. nov., pp. 19-27 in Phytotaxa 24 on pages 24-26, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.24.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/489405

Its diminutive stems (mostly <50 cm, rarely to 1.0 m tall), are sequentially produced from near-surface stolons. Although <i>Psychotria leptothyrsa</i> var. <i>defretesiana</i> (Takeuchi 2009: 176) was recently characterized as being the smallest <i>Psychotria</i> in Papuasia, <i>P. stolonifera</i> is often of similar stature.

Short-styled flowers of <i>P. stolonifera</i> show these features clearly, but in the long-styled form the hair-band is considerably contracted (0.3 mm versus 2.0 mm wide), with the stamens distinctly positioned below the hairs. Except for this dimorphism, the new species conforms in detail to the generic circumscriptions established by modern study of the Psychotrieae (e.g., in Davis & Bridson 2001, 2004, Davis <i>et al.</i> 2001, Sohmer 1988, Sohmer & Davis 2007). Irrespective of the hair-band discrepancies, the preformed germination slits (2) on pyrene margins are indicative of <i>Psychotria</i> (Sohmer & Davis 2007) and provide diagnostic support for the generic assignment.</p>Published as part of <i>Takeuchi, Wayne, 2010, Additions to the rubiaceous flora of Papua New Guinea: Psychotria stolonifera and P. ternatifolia, two remarkable species from the Muller limestone, pp. 25-34 in Phytotaxa 7</i> on pages 25-29, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.7.1.3, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/10084095">http://zenodo.org/record/10084095</a>

Telson (dorsal lobe) present. Gender Feminine. Type species Notoprotomima smithi sp. nov. Etymology “ Notoprotomima ” is derived from “ Noto- ” meaning south (from notos = southerly), and protomima. Included species Notoprotomima includes two species: Notoprotomima grandimana (Guerra-García, 2004a); Notoprotomima smithi sp. nov. Remarks This new genus, Notoprotomima, is most closely related to Pseudoprotomima McCain, 1969 and Symmetrella Laubitz, 1995. Three species have been reported so far (McCain 1969; McCain and Gray 1971; Guerra-García 2004a) from Pseudoprotomima; P. hurleyi McCain, 1969 from 788 to 1609 m depth near New Zealand, P. hedgpethi McCain and Gray, 1971 from 71 to 110 m depth in the South Indian Ocean and P. grandimana Guerra-García, 2004a from less than 18 m depth along the coast of Western Australia. The present new genus, Notoprotomima, differs from Pseudoprotomima (see McCain and Gray 1971; Takeuchi 1993) in the following generic characters: (1) the flagellum of antenna 2 in Notoprotomima is restricted to two articles even in mature males, while that in Pseudoprotomima varies from two to four articles; and (2) in Notoprotomima the third article of the mandibular palp has two to three large distal setae, while in Pseudoprotomima the setal formula is 1 – x – 1. The genus Symmetrella was established for Symmetrella arnaudi Laubitz, 1995 collected from bathyal depths, 2200 m, from the southern Indian Ocean (Laubitz 1995). The present new genus, Notoprotomima, differs from Symmetrella (see Laubitz 1995) in the following generic characters: (1) in Notoprotomima the third article of mandibular palp has two to three large distal setae, while in Symmetrella the setal formula is 1 – x – 1; (2) in Notoprotomima pereopod 4 is composed of seven articles, while Symmetrella lacks pereopod 4; and (3) in Notoprotomima the abdomen lacks pleopods, while in Symmetrella the abdomen possesses a pair of tiny pleopods. Hence, we establish the new genus, Notoprotomima, based on the present species. The description and figures for P. grandimana Guerra-García, 2004a (Guerra-García 2004a) agree well with the present species in the above generic diagnosis of Notoprotomima and P. grandimana is here moved to Notoprotomima.Published as part of Takeuchi, Ichiro & Lowry, James K., 2015, A taxonomic study on the Phtisicidae (Crustacea: Amphipoda) of New South Wales, Australia, pp. 603-648 in Journal of Natural History 50 on pages 633-634, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2015.1079338, http://zenodo.org/record/398573
