Holotype INDONESIA • Sumatra, Solok; ca 1000 m a.s.l.; 10 Oct. 2016; Fadly s.n. leg.; BO. Description Epiphytic shrub, with white latex in all vegetative parts. Roots only basal, no adventitious roots observed. Stems erect or spreading, 2.5–5 mm in diameter, dull green, sparsely pubescent when young; older stems grey-brown, glabrous; internodes 1–2(5) cm. Leaf blades 5–10(12) × 2.5–4 cm, thin, not succulent, chartaceous when dry, elliptic, base and apex acute or acuminate, mid green on adaxial surface, pale green on abaxial surface, glabrous, venation pinnate, midrib slightly depressed on adaxial surface, convex on abaxial surface, with 4–7 pairs of secondary veins, basal colleters absent; petioles 5–10 × 1.7–2 mm, terete channeled above, mid green, sparsely pubescent. Inflorescences sciadioidal, convex, of 3–10 flowers; peduncles 8–12 × 1.2–1.4 mm, extra-axillary, positively geotropic or horizontal, unbranched, one at each node, producing flowers only once, terete, green, sparsely pubescent just below the rachis, otherwise glabrous. Flowers with terete pedicels 5–8 × 1–1.5 mm, pale green, sparsely pubescent. Calyx lobes ovate- round, apex round, 1.4–2.2 × 1.2–1.6 mm, light green, pubescent outside, glabrous inside, ciliate; basal colleters 1.5–2.3 × 1.3–1.5 mm, 1–3 at each calyx sinus, ovoid. Corolla tube basally bulbous, tightly enveloping the lower half of the corona, with a contracted throat, a short funnel-shaped tube and free, lanceolate, spreading lobes, white; basal bulbous part 2.5–3 mm high, 3–3.5 mm in diameter; free lobes 5–6 × 2.5–3 mm, narrowly triangular, valvate in bud, with recurved edges and tip, tube pubescent inside with retrorse hairs, sparsely pubescent outside with spreading hairs, lobes sparsely pubescent inside and outside with spreading hairs. Corona staminal 4.5–5 mm high, 2.5– 3 mm in diameter, stiff and waxy-looking, white; lobes 4.5–5 × 1–1.2 mm, erect, oblong and sinuose, attached at the back of the anthers, upper apicis rounded, touching in the middle, outer tips obtuse, with a narrow revolute margin.Anthers ca 0.5 × 0.3 mm, ovate, with apical round membranaceous appendage just covering the style-head apex. Pollinia 470–520 × 200–240 μm, oblong, with a round base and apex; pellucid margin missing; caudicles ca 130 × 70 μm, ovoid, almost transparent; corpusculum 300–320 × 160–180 μm, ovoid; style-head 5-angled in cross section, with five spreading lobes alternating with the stamens, style-head apex conical, 1–1.2 mm high, 0.9–1.1 mm in diameter at the base, apex acute; ovary 1.5–1.7 mm high, conical, with apex acute. Fruit and seed not observed. Distribution and habitat Hoya solokensis sp. nov. is only known from the type locality in Solok, Sumatra, Indonesia, at ca 1000 m a.s.l. It was collected in an evergreen forest, where it was growing epiphytically. Conservation status Known only from a single collection and lacking information on the distribution area, the population size and the possible threats to the habitat, H. solokensis sp. nov. is considered as Data Deficient (DD) (IUCN 2012). Notes Hoya solokensis sp. nov. is one of the few species of Hoya that exhibits a non-climbing habit but is instead an epiphytic shrub. It is morphologically similar to H. papaschonii Rodda (Rodda & Ercole 2014), a species only found in southern Thailand. Both species share a shrubby habit, short-lived peduncles, and flowers with a tubular corolla. However, H. papaschonii has the free part of the corolla lobes mostly held upright, while in H. solokensis sp. nov. the lobes are spreading; furthermore, the corona of H. papaschonii has both staminal and interstaminal elements while H. solokensis sp. nov. only has a staminal corona. Another species with a tubular corolla is H. telosmoides Omlor (1996) from Borneo, that is, however, a climber. The flowers of H. solokensis sp. nov. superficially resemble those of the Bornean H. hamiltoniorum A.L. Lamb, Gavrus, Emoi & Gokusing (Lamb et al. 2014) because both species have the free part of the corolla lobes spreading, however H. hamiltoniorum is a climber and its inner apex of the corona lobe is bifid, while the apex of the inner lobes of H. solokensis sp. nov. is entire.Published as part of Rahayu, Sri & Rodda, Michele, 2019, Hoya of Sumatra, an updated checklist, three new species, and a new subspecies, pp. 1-23 in European Journal of Taxonomy 508 on pages 14-15, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2019.508, http://zenodo.org/record/261287

Pollinia 550–650 × 220–270 μm, oblong, with a round base and an obliquely truncated apex; pellucid margin present all along the outer edge; caudicles ca 280 × 180 μm, broadly triangular, almost transparent; corpusculum 300–350 × 100–120 μm, oblong; style-head 5-angled in cross section, with five spreading lobes alternating with the stamens, style-head depressed with a central raised conical apex ca 0.5 × 0.5 mm broad at the base, apex rounded; ovary 1.4–1.6 mm high, 0.3–0.4 mm in diameter, narrowly conical, apex acute. Fruit and seed not observed. Distribution and habitat Hoya danumensis subsp. amarii subsp. nov. is only known from the type locality in northern Sumatra, Indonesia, ca 900 m a.s.l. Conservation status Known only from a single collection and lacking information on the distribution area, the population size and the possible threats to the habitat, H. danumensis subsp. amarii is considered as Data Deficient (DD) (IUCN 2012). Notes Hoya danumensis subsp. amarii subsp. nov. can be separated from H. danumensis Rodda & Nyhuus (2009) subsp. danumensis because of the shape and size of the corolla that is shallowly campanulate, 20–23 mm in diameter and deeply campanulate, vs 25–35 mm in the latter; in the shape and size of the corona lobes that are ovate-oblong and 5.5–6 × 2.4–2.6 mm in H. danumensis subsp. danumensis vs ovate and 4.5–5 × 2.3–2.5 mm in the new subspecies.Published as part of Rahayu, Sri & Rodda, Michele, 2019, Hoya of Sumatra, an updated checklist, three new species, and a new subspecies, pp. 1-23 in European Journal of Taxonomy 508 on pages 4-7, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2019.508, http://zenodo.org/record/261287
Goldoni e la Repubblica di Genova
No full textAlberto Beniscelli’s paper examines the volume Carlo Goldoni. Carteggio
consolare con la Repubblica di Genova, published in the National Edition of Goldoni’s works by Marsilio, 2021, and edited by Franco Paolo Oliveri and Giordano Rodda. This is an important contribution, conducted on the 108 dispatches regularly sent by the consul, residing in Venice, to the Genoese Senate during the period January 7, 1741 - March 16, 1743. Restored with philological care and supported by a broad historical-documentary apparatus, the epistolary material is offered as a chapter of the
culture and history of the Italian eighteenth century. On one hand, it illuminates central aspects of Goldoni’s life, and some phases of the theatrical journey. On the other hand, it opens up new approaches to the social and political system of eighteenth century Genoa, with particular attention to the entrepreneurial-noble reality of protections and commissions. Secondly, some aspects of Goldoni’s narrative as a reporter
are examined, especially highlighting the novelistic approach in the narration of cases and the literary consul’s mastery of war-torn Europe.
Giordano Rodda’s paper turns to two episodes of Goldoni’s consular period, which undergo a significant evolution in his subsequent accounts of the events, both in his autobiographical writing (the prefaces to the Pasquali edition and the Mémoires) and in the plays, as in L’impostore of 1754. The first episode concerns the disappearance of the snuffboxes seized by the consul from Domenico Bologna, a debtor to the Genoese
noble Domenico Sauli, and long missing until Goldoni was forced to admit his responsibility; the second is the affair of the so-called “Raguseo”, when Goldoni and his brother Gian Paolo were victims of a scam by a self-proclaimed captain from Ragusa. Both events left Goldoni, already without fixed emoluments for his position by the Genoese Senate, nearly destitute. The study of the dispatches and the newly recovered correspondence among the protagonists provide an illuminating example of Goldoni’s self-narrative strategy regarding an unhappy period of his career, when he sought to restore his reputation by alternating sincerity and dissimulation, remembrance and rehabilitation

Ovary lanceolate, about 1.7 mm long, light green. Fruits and seeds not seen. All measurements from fresh type material.</p> <p> <b>Phenology:</b> — <i>Hoya rotundiflora</i> is commonly seen flowering in cultivation during the summer months, which is consistent with the flowering periods of plants from a monsoonal area such as south Myanmar. A similar flowering season has been observed for <i>Hoya pandurata</i> Tsiang (1939: 125) and <i>H. chinghungensis</i> (Tsiang & P.T.Li) Gilbert <i>et al.</i> (1995: 9) both originating from this geographical area (personal observations).</p> <p> <b>Habitat and distribution:</b> —Little is known about the original habitat of this species. It has been observed to be difficult to grow and flower in constantly warm areas such as Bangkok (S. Somadee, personal communication) and therefore it is likely to inhabit higher elevated areas where winter temperatures are lower and where there is a greater disparity between day and night temperatures.</p> <p>The type plant can be traced back to a market in Sangklaburi in Kanchanaburi province, Thailand, where it was first found in 2005. The plant was collected near the border in neighboring Myanmar but the exact locality has been kept secret by the seller.</p> <p> <b>IUCN Red List category:</b> —Population size and distribution range of <i>Hoya rotundiflora</i> cannot be estimated, as it is so far known from only a single collection. Due to the high horticultural interest in <i>Hoya</i> it is surprising that no further collections belonging to this taxon have been made since its first introduction into cultivation in 2007. This may suggest that the species may have a very restricted distribution range and small population size containing a limited number of mature individuals or its habitat may be inaccessible, for example being on steep karst formations. Further, <i>Hoya</i> populations are often under pressure because of frequent collection to supply the horticultural trade and therefore <i>H. rotundiflora</i> is hereby suggested as vulnerable according to IUCN Red List criteria (IUCN 2001).</p> <p> <b>Additional specimen examined:</b> — <i>Ex Hort.</i>, 15 June 2010, <i>Rodda Hort 2010/1</i> (L, SING, TO).</p>Published as part of <i>Rodda, Michele & Simonsson, Nadhanielle, 2011, Hoya rotundiflora (Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae), a new horticulturally important species from Myanmar, pp. 37-43 in Phytotaxa 27</i> on pages 37-41, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.27.1.4, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/4894182">http://zenodo.org/record/4894182</a>
