The nomenclature of a number of taxa that occur in Southeast Asia in Baeckea, Decaspermum, Leptospermum, Melaleuca, Psidium, Rhodamnia, Rhodomyrtus and Tristaniopsis is discussed: eight lectotypes are designated, six taxa are shown to have been previously lectotypified under Article 9.9 with second-stage lectotypification being deemed unnecessary for two of them, and comments are made on two species that we cannot yet typify.

William Griffith wrote an account of the plants collected by Theodore Cantor in 1840 while on a military expedition to Chusan in China. This was published posthumously in 1854, but was also distributed in 1844 or 1845 as a preprint. The 14 new names at species rank appearing in the paper are reviewed (including the often overlooked Leucopogon ophirensis and Corylopsis grata) and their typification considered. Lectotypes are designated for 10 of these names, one second-stage lectotypification is proposed, and Corylopsis griffithii Hemsl. is also lectotypified.
