No full textDendrolycopodium verticale comb. nov (Lycopodiopsida: Lycopodiaceae) from China
No full textA new combination in the lycophyte genus Dendrolycopodium (Lycopodiacae) from Lycopodium, D. verticale (Li Bing Zhang) Li Bing Zhang & X. M. Zhou, for a Chinese species is made
Youngia jiulongensis (Crepidinae, Cichorieae, Asteraceae), a New Species from Sichuan, China
No full textYoungia jiulongensis Y. L. Peng, X. F. Gao & Li Bing Zhang, a new species of Asteraceae from western Sichuan, China, is described. This new species is similar to Y mairei Lev.) Babe. & Stebbins and Y. pilifera C. Shih in having blackish brown achenes, a white pappus, and fewer capitula, but distinct from the latter two in having a taller stature (28-50 cm vs. 8-30 cm), two or three well developed, undivided caudical leaves, sparsely toothed leaf margins, acute leaf apices, long non winged petioles, reduced pubescence on the whole plant, glabrous phyllaries, and midveins of all inner phyllaries plane

No full textA new combination, Pyrrosia annamensis (Christ) Li Bing Zhang, X. M. Zhou & C.W. Chen, for a Southeast Asian species formerly treated in Niphobolus is made. We also lectotypify Cyclophorus rhomboidalis Bonaparte
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Polystichum clarinervium (subg. Haplopolystichum; Dryopteridaceae), a new fern from Emei shan, China
No full textA new fern species, Polystichum clarinervium, a member of P. subg. Haplopolystichum (Dryopteridaceae), is described and illustrated from Emei shan, Sichuan Province, Southwest China. The new species is similar to P. deltodon, but the former has pinnae slightly imbricate, pinna apex rounded, and veins clear, while the latter has pinnae not imbricate, pinna apex acute, and veins obscured. Polystichum clarinervium was found on a limestone slope under sparse forest at an elevation of 1300 m and is currently known from two small populations. It is classified as Critically Endangered (CR) following IUCN Red List criteria
Polystichum tiandengense (subg. Haplopolystichum; Dryopieridaceae), a New Cave Fern from Guangxi, China
No full textA new fern species, Polystichum tiandengense H. He & Li Bing Zhang (Dryopteridaceae), is described and illustrated from a limestone cave in the Guangxi Zhuangzu Autonomous Region, South China. Polystichum tiandengense is most similar to P. cavernicola. Li Bing Zhang & H. lie in having oblong to square pinnae with undulate margins, but the new species is distinguished by its pinnae mostly adjacent to each other or imbricating, and mostly sterile (vs. distant from each other and mostly fertile in P. cavernicola). Polystichum tiandengense is considered to be Critically Endangered (CR), based on RICN Red List criteria
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
