We therefore propose the replacement generic names Eoetvoesiella, Paludihabitans, Rivihabitans and Salella, with type species Eoetvoesiella caeni, Paludihabitans psychrotolerans, Rivihabitans pingtungensis and Sallella cibi, respectively.

In addition, we propose the replacement generic names Neomelitea with type species Neomelitea salexigens comb. nov. and Nicoliella with type species Nicoliella spurrieriana comb. nov.

The recently published new replacement name Exalloanthum Poinar for a fossil angiosperm flower genus was not validly published (Art.41. 5 of ICN) because it was referenced by the whole article and not the single page with the basionym only. Therefore, new genus name Exalloanthum Poinar and E. burmense Poinar combination are validated here by providing the exact basionym page number.

Present study from Chamorshi Tahasil of Gadchiroli District Maharashtra,(India) represents 47 invasive alien angiospermic plant species belonging to 25 families and 40 genera with its additional information on nativity, life form, habitat, habit and introduction mode. About 63% of the invasive alien species contributes from Tropical America and 8% from Tropical Africa. An analysis shows that mostly dicots about 95 % introduced and monocot only of 05%, family asteraceae contributed more species (08 species), followed by Amaranthaceae and Convolvulaceae (04 species each).Analysis of habitat shows that herbs dominates (40 species), followed by shrubs (06 species) and climber (01 species). An analysis of invasive alien species reveals that about 87%plants unintentionally introduced and only about 13% intentionally introduced.

Aquatic macrophytes play important role in aquatic ecosystems functioning. In present study aquatic macrophytes biodiversity assessment recorded from Asolamendha Reservoir which is second largest reservoir of Chandrapur District of Maharashtra state, India. Total 48 aquatic macrophytes species recorded belonging to 28 families and 37 genera. These macrophytes grouped as Floating (03 species free floating and 06 species rooted floating), Submerged (06 species) and Emergent(33species). Emergent macrophytes (68.75%) showing the dominance over floating (18.75%) and submerged macrophytes (12.5%). Angiosperms shows dominance over Pteridophytes and Algae. Cyperaceae is the dominant family which contributes 05 species. For conservation and sustainable utilization of aquatic ecosystem it is necessary to carry out biodiversity assessment of aquatic macrophytes and its importance to ecosystem.

The genus Peperomia Ruiz and Pavón (1794: 8) (Piperaceae) has a pantropical distribution, with the highest diversity in the Neotropics (Wanke et al. 2006, Mathieu et al. 2015).

Recently, Callejas (2020) described a new species from Panama, Peperomia parvicaulis Callejas (2020: 466), which is illegitimate, as it is a later homonym of the Sumatran species Peperomia parvicaulis C. de Candolle (1920: 294).

A Bryophyte genus Lazarenkoa Ignatov & Ignatova (2019:227), family Leskeaceae Schimp.(1856:109) was described by Ignatov et al. (2019) on the basis of recent morphological and molecular results obtained by the plant species collected from region Primorsky Territory of Russia. Currently, genus Lazarenkoa Ignatov & Ignatova is monotypic having single species Lazarenkoa microphylla Ignatov & Ignatova (2019:227) and endemic to Russia. Unfortunately, this newly described Bryophyte genus Lazarenkoa Ignatov & Ignatova is a later homonym of Ukrainian Ascomycetes fungi genus Lazarenkoa Zerova (1938:170). Genus Lazarenkoa Zerova, is a monotypic with single species Lazarenkoa selaginellae Zerova (1938:170) belonging to the class Dothideomycetes Erikss. & Winka.

The generic name Udaria Gupta (1996:103) was established by Gupta (1996) with two fossil fungi species Udaria singhii Gupta (1996:103) and U. saxenae Gupta (1996:104) from Lower Tertiary sediments of Himachal Pradesh, India. Later on, Singh et al. (2018) described the new genus of liverworts, Udaria Singh, Majumdar & Singh (2018: 1537) with the single species Udaria lamellicaulis Singh, Majumdar & Singh (2018: 1537) to the family Lophocoleaceae Vanden Berghen (1956: 208) from Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim in Eastern Himalaya, India. After a thorough scrutiny of literature and type specimens, it was found that the liverwort genus name, Udaria Singh, Majumdar & Singh (2018: 1537) is illegitimate as it is a later homonym of the fossil fungi genus Udaria Gupta (1996:103). Therefore, a new replacement name Pandea U. B. Deshmukh is proposed with a new combination for the type species here in accordance with article 53.1 of Shenzhen Code (Turland et al. 2018).

This review aimed to summarize the available data on the phytochemical analysis and antioxidant activity of Tamilnadia uliginosa (Retz.) Tirveng. &Sastre (Family: Rubiaceae) based on available database reports. Tamilnadia uliginosa is known as Divine Jasmine, belonging to Rubiaceae. Tamilnadia uliginosa possess the high bio prospecting potential and it is a renowned medicinal plant used to treat large number of human ailments. It possesses various 15 phenolic compounds along with phytoconstituents like carbohydrates, alkaloid, glycosides, steroids, tannins and saponin. It contains different elements like Mg, K, Na, Fe, Mn, Ca, Pb, Cu in fresh leaves and fruits. Tamilnadia uliginosa leaves shows strong antioxidant activity in ethanol leaf extract with DPPH activity. Present review shows that detailed phytochemical investigation and bio-evaluation studies of Tamilnadia uliginosa are necessary to explore its high potential. Antioxidant studies are scantier and only carried out from leaves. Therefore, there is need to carried out more phytochemical analysis and its antioxidants activities of different plants parts like fruits, roots, seeds and stem etc.

This study aimed to summarize the available data on the traditional ethnomedicinal uses of Heliotropium indicum L. (Family: Heliotropiaceae, Subfamily: Boraginaceae) based on available database reports. Heliotropium indicum Linn., commonly known as 'Indian heliotrope' is very common in India with a long history of traditional ethnomedicinal uses in many countries in the world. In present survey its traditional
ethnomedicinal uses enlisted from four different continents namely Asia, Africa, and North and South America. Currently, no one traditional ethnomedicinal uses from three continents viz. Europe, Australia and Antartica reported. The comprehensive account of the traditional ethnomedicinal uses are presented in this review such that the potential
use of this plant in various traditional medicines can be systematically evaluated.
