Environmentally friendly copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) were prepared with a green synthesis route via Anchusa strigosa L. Flowers extract. These further characterized by FTIR, XRD and SEM techniques. Removing of Gongo red from water was applied successfully using synthesized CuO NPs which used as an adsorbent material. It validated that the eliminate Congo means adsorption, best efficien...

A former lectotype for Bromus cincinnatus Ten. (Poaceae) has been superseded, as it is in serious conflict with the protologue. Another element of protologue designated effective lectotype. The new identified coespecific intermedius Guss., a Mediterranean species L. subg. Bromus. combination Helictochloa panormitana (Lojac.) Romero Zarco proposed originally described Avena australis Parl., nom....

Lactarius pseudoaurantiozonatus, belonging to subg. Lactarius, is proposed as a new species from Anhui Province, China based on detailed morphology and molecular analyses (nrITS) region. characterized by pale yellow orange-yellow, zonate pileus, subglobose broadly ellipsoid basidiospores which measure 5.5–7.9 × 4.5–6.5 μm, white latex quickly turns olive-yellow, indistinct odor burning-acrid ta...
