03C5265CFF8A7F5FFF06FC5E5331B247.taxon	description	As recently reported by Martínez-Azorín et al. (2018 a), the capitate to subcorymbose inflorescences of some Urgineoideae commonly nod at early development stages, one of the key characters of Austronea. Additional features of this genus include: reddish to yellowish-green tepals, rarely white, which are usually connate at the base to form a distinct cup and patent free lobes; filaments linear to lanceolate, smooth or rarely papillate below; ovary green to yellow-orange; and seeds commonly trigonous in outline, tetrahedrally folded and narrowly winged along the angles. This genus concept is supported by our phylogenetic studies (Fig. 3 in Martínez-Azorín et al. 2018 b), with the genus forming a strongly supported clade sister to Fusifilum. The latter genus differs from Austronea by an inflorescence that is erect during all developmental stages; stellate flowers with free white tepals; filaments fusiform and widened in the middle, distinctly papillate on the lower portion; ovary white or tinged with violet or purple; and seeds commonly elliptical in outline, flat and widely winged on the margins.	en	Martínez-Azorín, Mario, Crespo, Manuel B., Alonso-Vargas, María Á., Dold, Anthony P., Crouch, Neil R., Pfosser, Martin, Mucina, Ladislav, Pinter, Michael, Wetschnig, Wolfgang (2019): New combinations in the tribe Urgineeae (Asparagaceae subfam.

03C5265CFF8B7F5EFF06FBE45683B253.taxon	description	Based on our work, we consider the species of D. sect. Juncifoliae as belonging to Tenicroa. Accordingly, we provide below the necessary combinations.	en	Martínez-Azorín, Mario, Crespo, Manuel B., Alonso-Vargas, María Á., Dold, Anthony P., Crouch, Neil R., Pfosser, Martin, Mucina, Ladislav, Pinter, Michael, Wetschnig, Wolfgang (2019): New combinations in the tribe Urgineeae (Asparagaceae subfam.

03C5265CFF8C7F59FF06FF575670B872.taxon	description	Manning & Goldblatt (2018) included Drimia pauciflora Baker (1892: 6) as an uncertain species, because they were not able to find a type specimen for this taxon, but commented that the description suggests its inclusion in Thuranthos, and that in the case that D. pauciflora is a synonym of Thuranthos basuticum, the former would be the priority name. The type collection of D. pauciflora (Ecklon & Zeyher Asphod. 102) is kept at B (B 100167472!) and available online at http: // herbarium. bgbm. org / object / B 100167472. We confirm that Drimia pauciflora represents the same species currently known as Thuranthos basuticum and therefore we propose a new combination in Thuranthos.	en	Martínez-Azorín, Mario, Crespo, Manuel B., Alonso-Vargas, María Á., Dold, Anthony P., Crouch, Neil R., Pfosser, Martin, Mucina, Ladislav, Pinter, Michael, Wetschnig, Wolfgang (2019): New combinations in the tribe Urgineeae (Asparagaceae subfam.

03C5265CFF8C7F58FF06FDAD50A3BAB5.taxon	description	The genus Urgineopsis was described for a single species “ differing from Urginea in the gamophyllous perigone, from Drimia in the erect perigone segments and non-connivent stamens, and from Rhadamanthus in the erect flowers lacking connivent stamens ” (Compton 1930). These differences are still valid when Drimia and Urginea are considered in a narrow sense. Whereas Speta (1998 a, b, 2001) accepted Urgineopsis based on morphological and phylogenetic data, Manning & Goldblatt (2018) proposed to place it in synonymy together with Geschollia Speta (2001: 169) under Drimia sect. Ledebouriopsis (Baker 1873 b: 284) Manning & Goldblatt (2018: 24). They established this section to accommodate 11 species despite their different flower, fruit and seed morphologies. Our fieldwork combining morphological and corological studies supports the acceptance of Urgineopsis and Geschollia as distinct genera, in agreement with our phylogenetic results (Fig. 3 in Martínez-Azorín et al. 2018 b). During a field trip to Namibia in August 2016, an undescribed species of Urgineopsis was encountered in the Luderitz Peninsula (M. Martínez-Azorín et al. MMA 1659, ABH 74040!). It shows a single, leathery, terete leaf, tepals fused for ca. 3 – 4 mm to form a cup; spreading tepal tips, stamen filaments arising at the mouth of the perigone tube and slightly incurved, and with a distinctly puberulous perigone tube within. The study of herbarium collections at NBG revealed that it is conspecific with a plant collected and subsequently illustrated in 1977 by M. Bayer (Bayer 1013 NBG 121176!), from south of Alexander Bay (Northern Cape, South Africa). Bayer identified it as Urginea sp. nov. This species has been recently described by Manning & Goldblatt (2018) as Drimia barbata J. C. Manning & J. M. J. Deacon in Manning & Goldblatt (2018: 47). Below we provide the necessary combination of the latter taxon into Urgineopsis. The population of U. barbata from Luderitz represents the first record of this genus for Namibia. In establishing Urgineopsis, Compton accepted only one species, Urgineopsis salteri Compton (1930: 107), a small taxon restricted to the mountains of the Cape Peninsula. Speta (1998 a, b, 2001) later also recognised it as monotypic. Our studies evidence the existence of 5 additional taxa, originally described in Urginea, but which fit the flower, fruit and seed morphology profile of Urgineopsis. We here provide the necessary combinations in this genus. Notably, further studies are needed to resolve the taxonomy of this group, the taxa of which presently exhibit large morphological variability, including within populations.	en	Martínez-Azorín, Mario, Crespo, Manuel B., Alonso-Vargas, María Á., Dold, Anthony P., Crouch, Neil R., Pfosser, Martin, Mucina, Ladislav, Pinter, Michael, Wetschnig, Wolfgang (2019): New combinations in the tribe Urgineeae (Asparagaceae subfam.

03C5265CFF8D7F58FF06FEE4511ABD01.taxon	description	Based on morphology, biogeography and phylogenetic data, Martínez-Azorín et al. (2018 c) showed that Vera-duthiea is a distinct African genus, recently identified from southern Africa following the description of V. zebrina Martínez-Azorín et al. (2018 c: 285). Manning & Goldblatt (2018) described Drimia vespertina Manning & Goldblatt (2018: 65) for plants occurring in Kaokoland in northwestern Namibia, but which match Vera-duthiea in morphology. We accordingly provide below the necessary new combination.	en	Martínez-Azorín, Mario, Crespo, Manuel B., Alonso-Vargas, María Á., Dold, Anthony P., Crouch, Neil R., Pfosser, Martin, Mucina, Ladislav, Pinter, Michael, Wetschnig, Wolfgang (2019): New combinations in the tribe Urgineeae (Asparagaceae subfam.
