    Taxonomy of the small southern African endemic genus Echiostachys Levyns (Boraginaceae: Boraginoideae)
    (South African Journal of Botany, 2023) Velani, N; Boatwright, J.S; Magee, A.R
    The small genus Echiostachys Levyns (Boraginaceae: Lithospermeae) is revised. It was segregated from Lobostemon Lehm. on the basis of the herbaceous habit, radical foliage, spiciform inflorescence, slightly accrescent calyx, and lack of staminal scales. Three species are recognised. An identification key, descriptions, full nomenclature, illustrations, and distribution maps are provided.

    Transfer of Madagascan species of Gnidia L. to Lasiosiphon Fresen. (Thymelaeaceae: Thymelaeoideae)
    (South African Journal of Botany, 2017) Boatwright, J.S; van der Bank, M; Magee, A.R
    Thirteen of the fourteen Malagasy species of Gnidia are transferred to Lasiosiphon following its re-instatement based on systematic studies of the Thymelaeoideae. New combinations are made for five of the species and the new name Lasiosiphon leandrianus Boatwr. & J.C.Manning is provided for Gnidia decaryana Leandri. The generic affinity of Gnidia neglecta remains uncertain.
