(2018a), 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. 2018b), 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.</p> <p>Austronea represents a distinct group also recognised by Manning &amp; Goldblatt (2018) as D. sect. Capitatae Manning &amp; Goldblatt (2018: 76). Only Drimia virens Schlechter (1897: 433) J.C.Manning &amp; Goldblatt in Goldblatt &amp; Manning (2000: 712) was not included in this group by Manning &amp; Goldblatt (2018), since they placed it in D. sect. Physodia Manning &amp; Goldblatt (2018: 92) (= Fusifilum). Manning &amp; Goldblatt (2007, 2018) considered Drimia virens as conspecific with D. minor (Duthie 1928: 11) Jessop (1977: 306). However, the latter is a true member of Fusifilum as presented in the revision of this genus by Müller-Doblies et al. (2001), and shown in the line drawing and original description of flower morphology of this species (Duthie 1928) (see also Martínez-Azorín et al. 2018a). On the contrary, Urginea virens Schlechter (1897: 433) should be assigned to Austronea based on flower and seed morphology (Martínez-Azorín et al. 2018a), in agreement with the discussion by Müller-Doblies et al. (2001) of the status of Fusifilum minus (Duthie 1928: 11) Speta (1998b: 69). They argued that both Urginea pygmaea Duthie (1928: 10) and U. minor Duthie (1928: 11) are good “ Urginea ” (Austronea sensu Martínez-Azorín et al. 2018a) species, and should not be included in Fusifilum.</p> <p>The newly described Drimia ciliolata J.C.Manning &amp; J.M.J.Deacon in Manning &amp; Goldblatt (2018: 89) belongs to Austronea based on the single hysteranthous, ciliate leaf; the inflorescence corymbose-capitate, nodding in bud; the pale-brown flowers with tepals fused at the base to form a cup; filaments glabrous; and the yellow-green ovary.</p> <p>Accordingly, here we present the necessary combination:</p> <p>Austronea ciliolata (J.C.Manning &amp; J.M.J.Deacon) Mart. -Azorín, M.B.Crespo, M.

Based on these synapomorphies, most researchers in Urgineoideae (Jessop 1977, Obermeyer 1980b, 1981, Speta 1998a, b) agree on the circumscription of Tenicroa and on its distinction from Urginea. However, Manning et al. (2004) synonymised Tenicroa within Drimia sensu latissimo, with species fitting the traditional concept of Tenicroa later placed by them in two different sections within Drimia, namely D. sect. Juncifoliae (Manning &amp; Goldblatt 2018: 107), including the two new species D. decipiens Manning &amp; Goldblatt (2018: 109) and D. juncifolia J.C.Manning &amp; J.M.J.Deacon in Manning &amp; Goldblatt (2018: 107), and D. sect. Sypharissa (Salisbury 1866: 37) Manning &amp; Goldblatt (2018: 111). Manning &amp; Goldblatt (2018) reduced the four species recognised by Obermeyer (1980b) to three, accepting D. multifolia (Lewis 1952: 9) Jessop (1977: 278), D. fragrans Jacquin (1797: tab. 86) Goldblatt &amp; Manning (2000: 711), and D. exuviata Jacquin (1794: tab. 415) Jessop (1977: 276), whilst considering Tenicroa filifolia Jacquin (1794: tab. 414) Obermeyer (1981: 577) as a synonym of the latter.</p> <p>The morphological characters provided by Manning &amp; Goldblatt (2018) to segregate D. sect. Juncifoliae from D. sect. Sypharissa are unconvincing, as they refer to synanthous or hysteranthous leaves, strongly or weakly barred cataphylls, the measured length of bracts that overlap slightly, and whether the anthers are deflexed or not, and medi- or basifixed. The latter distinction is not evident in the line drawings provided for species of both sections, with all anthers portrayed as subbasifixed.</p> <p>Based on our work, we consider the species of D. sect. Juncifoliae as belonging to Tenicroa.

These differences are still valid when Drimia and Urginea are considered in a narrow sense. Whereas Speta (1998a, b, 2001) accepted Urgineopsis based on morphological and phylogenetic data, Manning &amp; Goldblatt (2018) proposed to place it in synonymy together with Geschollia Speta (2001: 169) under Drimia sect. Ledebouriopsis (Baker 1873b: 284) Manning &amp; 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. 2018b).</p> <p>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. MMA1659, ABH74040!). 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 NBG121176!), from south of Alexander Bay (Northern Cape, South Africa). Bayer identified it as Urginea sp. nov. This species has been recently described by Manning &amp; Goldblatt (2018) as Drimia barbata J.C.Manning &amp; J.M.J.Deacon in Manning &amp; 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.</p> <p>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 (1998a, 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.</p> <p>Urgineopsis arenosa (Adamson) Mart. -Azorín, M.B.Crespo, M.

Our phylogenetic studies (Fig. 3 in Martínez-Azorín et al. 2018b) reveal that samples from southwestern Asia belong to Indurgia Speta (2001: 169) and those superficially similar plants from Africa, to which the name D. indica has been misapplied, are included for the most part in Vera-duthiea. Moreover, the concept of Drimia indica by Manning &amp; Goldblatt (2018) is overly broad as it also includes the collections Pooley 661 (NU!) and Moll 4309 (PRE!) from northeastern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. These collections represent two different genera: the former corresponds to Zingela pooleyorum Crouch et al. (2018: 36) while the latter is known as Vera-duthiea zebrina (Martínez-Azorín et al. 2018c: 285). Both taxa are quite distinct morphologically and ecologically as well as from the molecular-phylogenetic point of view (M. Martínez-Azorín and collaborators, in preparation). Crouch et al. (2018) discussed the history of their treatment in herbaria and literature.</p> <p>Here we transfer to Vera-duthiea five species described from west-central Africa and southern Africa and which fit the morphology and biogeography of this genus, to facilitate future taxonomic work.</p> <p>Vera-duthiea amboensis (Baker) Mart. -Azorín, M.B.Crespo, M.Pinter &amp; Wetschnig comb. nov. ≡ Urginea amboensis Baker (1903: 665), basionym.
