Note: — In September 1975, Pfennig (1981 a: 227) visited the Lindi region in southeastern Tanzania where Schlieben had collected what would later become the type collection of S. pfennigii (Schlieben 5917) and identified plants he found there as S. canaliculata Carrière (1861: 449; = Dracaena canaliculata (Carrière) Byng & Christenhusz [2018: 65]). Sansevieria pfennigii Mbugua (2007: 33) was described based on the type collection Schlieben 5917 and two cited paratypes Stuhlmann 1126 a (HBG n. v.) and Luke & Kibure 9773 (MO 5765316 barcode MO- 2813700 digital image!, available at http: // legacy. tropicos. org / Image / 100571592) which Scharf & Burkart (2021: 6) determined as actually belonging to other species. Pfennig‘s identification of plants in the Lindi region as S. canaliculata may have prompted Butler & Jankalski (2010: 5 - 7), Jankalski (2015: 17), Webb & Newton (2018: 28), and Newton (2020: 1359) to reject S. pfennigii as a species in its own right, treating it as conspecific with S. canaliculata. Scharf & Burkart (2021) reinstated S. pfennigii after Uwe Scharf ‘ s visit to the Lindi Region in Tanzania in March 2018. He found S. pfennigii growing in close vicinity to S. canaliculata and observed that both were morphologically distinct. Following the re-instatement of S. pfennigii, a new combination of the species in Dracaena is here presented.	en	Takawira-Nyenya, Ratidzayi, Thiede, Joachim, Mucina, Ladislav (2021): New nomenclatural and taxonomic adjustments in Dracaena (Asparagaceae).

6131C40DFF8FFFBBFF1BEB17FE3CF88E.taxon	discussion	Note: — Dracaena spathulata is a replacement name for Sansevieria concinna due to the earlier D. concinna Kunth (1850: 8). The name D. spathulata has been used earlier, but in the synonymy of D. ovata Ker Gawler (1809: t. 1179) only by Koch (1861: 398) and by Regel (1877: 144) and thus remained a name of garden origin without status (International Code of Nomenclature [ICN] Article 38.1; Turland et al. 2018) as mentioned by Bos (1984: 92). In the protologue, Webb (2020: 21) erroneously wrote “ Sansevieria concinna subsp. sudwallensis R. H. Webb var. nov. ” instead of “ Sansevieria concinna subsp. sudwallensis R. H. Webb sub sp. nov. ” (the underlining is ours). However, since the main heading reads “ a new subspecies ” (Webb 2020: 19), and Webb further writes, after “ Sansevieria concinna subsp. sudwallensis R. H. Webb var. nov. ”, “ This subspecies … ”, we have no doubt that he intended to publish the new taxon at subspecific rank.	en	Takawira-Nyenya, Ratidzayi, Thiede, Joachim, Mucina, Ladislav (2021): New nomenclatural and taxonomic adjustments in Dracaena (Asparagaceae).

6131C40DFF8EFFBAFF1BEC23FE9BFACE.taxon	discussion	Note: — In the protologue (Butler 2012), this taxon was published at the rank of subspecies and considered to differ from S. pinguicula subsp. pinguicula in its distichous leaves curving upwards and 11 – 15 cm long (vs. leaves pointing in all directions, erect and 12 – 30 cm long in S. pinguicula subsp. pinguicula). A re-evaluation by Newton & Thiede (2015) showed that both taxa do not differ in leaf length and orientation, but solely in leaf arrangement (distichous vs. rosulate) and occur in mixed stands at the same locality east of Garissa, therewith justifying its downranking to the rank of forma. Byng & Christenhusz (2018: 66) transferred this taxon at the subspecific rank as Dracaena pinguicula subsp. disticha, so that its downgrading to the rank of forma is published here. Typification: — Since neither the holotype nor the isotype is unambiguously showing the characterizing distichous leaf arrangement, Newton & Thiede (2015: 32) designated a photograph in the protologue showing distichous leaves as epitype.	en	Takawira-Nyenya, Ratidzayi, Thiede, Joachim, Mucina, Ladislav (2021): New nomenclatural and taxonomic adjustments in Dracaena (Asparagaceae).

6131C40DFF8EFFBDFF1BEB4BFE64FCC6.taxon	description	Typification: — To implement the correct application of the name S. suffruticosa (var. suffruticosa), Mbugua (2007: 26) designated one of the two collections of Evans at Kew; Evans s. n. (17 March 1911, 2 cross-labelled sheets, K 255770 & K 255771 digital images! available at: http: // specimens. kew. org / herbarium / K 000255770 & http: // specimens. kew. org / herbarium / K 000255771) as the lectotype. The specimen Evans s. n. (Oct. 12. 1909, K 000255772 digital image!, available at: http: // specimens. kew. org / herbarium / K 000255772 )) represents a syntype; the syntype Powell 13 is presumed lost (Pfennig 1981 b). Newton (2020: 1380) imprecisely cited the “ type ” as “ Evans s. n. [K] ”. The “ holotype ” of S. suffruticosa var. longituba cited in the protologue (Pfennig 1981 b: 178) as “ Pfennig 1336 (EA) ” consists of two sheets which are not cross-labelled (EA 000002615 & EA 000002616 see above), thus actually representing syntypes (ICN Article 9.6, Turland et al. 2018). Both sheets consist of a plant with inflorescence and flowers. The specimen EA 000002615 which better illustrates the long perianth tube of the flowers is designated here as lectotype. New synonym The following recently published infraspecific taxon is referred to the synonymy so that no new combination for its transfer into Dracaena is needed.	en	Takawira-Nyenya, Ratidzayi, Thiede, Joachim, Mucina, Ladislav (2021): New nomenclatural and taxonomic adjustments in Dracaena (Asparagaceae).
