038F879EFFA222172C3AFC43FB615D9B.taxon	description	The type specimen was sent on loan to GENT, but could at present not be located there. The description of D. polybotryoides was therefore compared with several keys for Asian species of Digitaria (Bor 1956, Veldkamp 1973, Chen & Philips 2006). This showed an obvious match with a rather common species, Digitaria abludens (Roem. & Schult.) Veldkamp, in the older literature recorded under the synonym Digitaria granularis (Trin.) Henrard. The diagnostic features are: annual species, racemes 2 – 8, rachis triquetrous, spikelets binate and ternate, 1.3 – 1.75 mm long, hairs smooth and with dilated apex, lower glume absent, fertile floret protruding, acuminate. In China, D. abludens is only recorded from Hainan, S Henan, Sichuan and Yunnan (Chen & Phillips 2006) but the latter prov- ince is bordering Guangxi. Homblé 110 seems to represent a single and new record for Guangxi.	en	Robbrecht, E., Smedt, S. De, Goetghebeur, P., Stoffelen, P., Verloove, F.

038F879EFFA222182C3AF945FD0E5902.taxon	description	Taton’s species caused erroneous assumptions in the literature on carnivorous plants. Degreef (1989) considered it as a “ very slightly mutated form ” of a species complex involving D. peltata and D. auriculata Backh. ex Planch. and stated that the range expansion into Africa was important when considering glaciation and dispersion events in Drosera. Schlauer (1996), in a synoptic overview of Drosera, explained the aberrant occurrence in east (sic) Africa as resulting from an ‘ almost certainly recent – synanthropous? – range extension’. Gibson et al. (2012) made a morphological evaluation of the D. peltata complex in Australia. This study recognized six species in the complex, including D. lunata Buch. - Ham. ex DC., widespread from India to eastern Australia. The authors accessed the virtual herbarium of BR on 5 April 2011 and were hence aware of the Chinese origin of Homblé 169. They reduced D. insolita to a synonym of D. lunata (Gibson et al. 2012: 75), that way corroborating Taton’s above mentioned reidentification.	en	Robbrecht, E., Smedt, S.

038F879EFFAD22182F74FDACFD165FBD.taxon	description	Using the Flora of China (Tang et al. 2007), the Homblé speci- men keys out as Grewia cuspidatoserrata Burret. It has the characteristics of this species: 2 - lobed fruits, and abaxially tomentose lanceolate leaf-blades with a symmetrical base. This submontane species is only reported from S Yunnan, where Homblé was not botanizing. The type specimen is dated Sep- tember 1910, so was seemingly collected during the above mentioned trip to Liuzhou, possibly at the mountainous end point of that voyage. Our identification is hence plausible, and Homblé’s specimen might represent the first record of the species for Guangxi. The trip from Guilin was some 150 km toward the SSW, in the direction of S Yunnan, though still 500 km away from it.	en	Robbrecht, E., Smedt, S. De, Goetghebeur, P., Stoffelen, P., Verloove, F.
